Hahahha. Oh, god, you kill me!

And girls still won't see what's in your pants!
The one nanowatt output is kinda symbolic, don't you think?
You need to get out of yo mama's basement!

I had a program that did a far better job of diagnosing patients than doctors could. But Doctors were not interested in actually doing a better doctoring job. They were strictly interested in making more money. Do you think they do plastic surgery because it cures people? Do you think they are treating ulcers with tagamet instead of antibiotics because the antibiotics would cure you fast? Do you think they would be avoiding using checklists in surgeries because checklists cut surgical complications by a factor of three?
No. These things would all decrease the Godhood of doctors. and their possible annual incomes.

"with little effort or proficiency at all. 'I hate to say this, but a number of people in IT positions work harder to make it seem like they're busy as beavers than doing actual work. Quite often this dysfunction starts at the top: When an IT manager doesn't know the technology very well, he or she may hire folks who have no idea what their job is other than to show up every day and answer the occasional email, passing questions along to others with more technical abilities, or to their contacts at the various hardware and software vendors. People like these populate many consulting companies. They rely almost completely on contractors to perform the actual work, serving as remote hands in a real crisis and as part of a phone tree for less pressing issues.'"

You mean there is another management style? These must be rare ducks indeed.
Cmdr Taco, for example, fits this description to a T...

Wait a minute. A geek says he wants to use Skype? Oh, man, I just got an image of some geek mutant tard in his basement doing a Skype video call with anyone... GROSS.. (Shiver), Just the thought goes way past giving me the creeps, and the images that come to mind...
I am going to need years of therapy for that one.
Can you just imagine? SEEING slashdot regulars? Oh, man, we need fed regulation to limit nasty lookers/losers from using Skype video...

Not only him, but all extremist Muslims, Hindus and many Arabs and Indians, barbaric primitives who think of family and guests, and then believe all others are worthy of robbery, rape, and death, shit in their own nests. Completely unaware or uncaring of the consequences of their own actions, irresponsible and a simple socio-path.
Where do you think the terrorist suicide bombers are operating? In their own back yard.
It takes a more civilized, thoughtful, elevated person to realize that shitting in their own back yard might be stupid.
And an even more civilized, thoughtful, elevated, and socially conscious person to realize that shitting in anyone's back yard might be a bad, immoral, unethical, and plain stupid act.
And an even more civilized, thoughtful, elevated, and socially conscious person to realize that helping and aiding people clean up others back yards and lives, and assist them to elevate might be a smart move. A truly self-actualized person. A socio-lover. A responsible and Godly person. Not just unselfish and socio-conscious person, but caring and sensible as well as sensitive and empathic, sympathetic. Someone who believes all people are their neighbors.
The primitives are revengeful, greedy, and blaming others for all troubles in their lives, and working on attacking as many others, outsiders, different peoples as they can. Instead of taking responsibility for their own lives as well as those around them, and being builders, not destroyers. Spending all their time attacking everything they define as evil, instead of strengthening all they define as good.
Why do you think that their are almost no hospitals or doctors in those places? Because their beliefs and their religions talk nothing of taking responsibility or helping others, and instead focus on blaming others and hurting and punishing others. Extremely un-spiritual people, although some claim to be very spiritual.
A pack of losers.
What you have to do with the leaders who are sources of the terrorist plague is immunize the body of society, which means activating hunter-killer phages who eliminate the disease carriers. Delta force and the Seals, in this case. Then healing the plage-diseased is much less difficult.
Simply isolating / imprisoning these extreme disease-carriers is very problematic in the current world society, which is filled with "poor baby, we need to feel your pain" whiners, extremist rightists, and priviligests.
Like you.

You dumb-ass. If you are so for protecting the rights of terrorists, why don't you just move into his neighborhood? Oh wait. The locals would shoot you on sight. Oh, wait. isn't that what we did to him?

You are such a clueless shit. I am not surprised that I can find you on slashdot.

Obama certainly lost all standing with his Muslim brothers. I wouldn't want to be him. Talk about painting a big target on your own back. This actually took guts. He won't be visiting any Arab or Muslim countries any time soon.
I actually would like to send a shout out to President Obama. Good Job!!!

You do not have to do something to be accused of doing it. You do not have to know how to do something to be accused of doing it. Look at the grandmothers who are being accused of downloading stolen or illegal mp3s.
They may be clueless, but that does not make them idiots, you insensitive clod.
I actually do not know how to get illegal mp3s off the web. And I am neither clueless or an idiot. I am just not that interested in listening to some musicians other than listening to my favorite music station on my computer or radio.

That's American Idol, you insensitive clod.

I was given malignant cancer by not even well meaning doctors (PhDs) who were following AMA approved treatment guidelines. There was no intelligent thinking involved, no previous animal studies, no science at all. Instead of coming up with a hypothesis and working to find proof or disproof, they decided they did not like something and grasped at what they thought would "fix" that annoyance (to them).
The deal was that in 80% of tonsillectomies, the tonsils grow back. That annoyed the control freaks (Doctors) no end, so they decided to straighten ut that miss-behavior by using a new toy, X-Rays to irradiate the area to prevent the tonsils from growing back. Millions of Americans had issues from that completely un-necessary X-Ray radiation treatment.
Just one example of real world problems caused by poorly educated PhDs. They did not learn to think scientifically. Instead they behaved irrationally and messed up.
If you think this is an isolated case, just look at the recent findings which say that 11/3 of all hospital patients have an error in their treatment while in the hospital.

You might not be taking your chances so much if someone worked up an RFC standard for cloud storage. Then it would be easier to migrate from vendor to vendor. And possibly be easier to backup.

My Knook has free 3G and WiFi, and the 3G works more often than the WiFi. faster as well.

People take more extreme positions when they are in a group of like minded people, because they then feel they are safe from others' attacks or disagreements. The same goes for the internet: people feel safe in taking extreme attitudes and positions. because they feel safe from others' attacks or disagreements. Yes, others disagree, but no one fears that because they are safely elsewhere. It is the proximity of the disagreement that makes people fearful, and moderates their communications (not their beliefs). People stick to social contract behavior in a physical social setting. A lot of evolution will have to occur before people behave when alone or isolated.
Right now, the animals also love to be seen and heard from, so the louder and more extreme their positions, the greater the "fame". A bunch of immature, un-evolved troglodytes shouting in a room occupied distantly by cro-magnons. They get a real surge of adrenaline from shouting safely. A big high. A big burst of endorphins. Shouting mindlessly may even be addictive to some significant percentage of them (1/6).
The whole thing boils down to irresponsible behavior. If the internet had some sort of rating system tied to individual identities, like peacefulness, trustworthiness, civilizedness, then people may be somewhat affected by what they say. But even then, remember, many of the irresponsible ignore feedback to at least some extent.
Like smokers ignoring the surgeon general's warning on the $10 cigarette pack they are carrying.
So don't expect anything to cure the craziness.
The only solution is an invitation-only discussion network. Moderated. Kind of like Boingboing or something. Go somewhere peaceful for sane discussion. No fanboys and script-kiddies allowed.
