Comment Re:Whatever happened to transparency? (Score 1) 376

oh yes, I see, so you have no confidence of joining one of these institutions and making them better -- you can't conceive of anyone like you doing it, either. They sure could use people like you, couldn't they? People who care? But you'd rather post how little anyone cares (a flawed supposition), then fail to post how little you care in return.

That's not any answer worth +5.

Psst hey, nyquist called and wanted to ask you, what's the frequency, kenneth? //got nothing ///nothing like how your ear can perceive frequencies above 22k or so nothing. ////+3,000$, so your dog can enjoy a TrueHD experience, too! A bargain!

nice to know, my gf uses fortran for modelling so i know it's serious but i would have bet much it was 0-based. can you help a bit more, and give me your opinion as to why 1-based languages make any sense, at all? I know it's a simple policy choice, but it makes as much sense as starting at the letter 'b' (with the 'a' at the end, not omitted) when reciting the alphabet. I consider myself above average in programming and can't see it; what value does it give that the lack of standardization doesn't take away? (pre)Thanks!---

They did that for us in elementary school, escorted us through juvenile as a field trip, even showed off the taser (circa 1991?) for us.

Now when i think back, i am only reminded that real monsters exist, and we encourage whole towns to get into sadistic torture.

(as i wrote above).sleep is incredibly important, and we did NOT evolve to sleep as little as possible on a rigid basis How much must I yell it? Our bodies have varying requirements as they react and adjust to the insults life inflicts (or we do). To think waking and rising each day at the same time (if you even can without modern drugs!) is healthy is about as smart as refusing to breathe deeply when you run and I /hate/ the typical corporate america attitude for just for this life-shortening idiocy. I won't die for it.

I don't think your advice is consistent with this article; sleep is incredibly important, and we did NOT evolve to sleep as little as possible on a rigid basis.
