true. although they tack it on the end of the newspaper, or at the end of the news announcements as if its not very important, its still news. :)

by jheriko 12y ago
News does serve at least one basic function, even if many other things can do the same: It gives you something to talk about and ask opinions on.

It was not competing with bitbucket or github, but still a shame to see.

its good to promote this. thank you for advocating this viewpoint. :) although as much as i identify a failure at empathy as a serious weakness i have, i continually fail to do anything about it and constantly put my foot in my mouth and of

its not just europe... its a pretty global phenomenon. you might have some nice philosophical argument here, but i have data and experiments on my side. i do appreciate your point about self defence in a harsh environment, but that is not d

i seem to remember that the (gotcha, and bizarre) link order requirement for gcc reveals that it has a problem like this where it looks for symbols in order. although i can't be sure without looking at the code (and i cba) the obvious

i really don't understand the love of guns in the US. the rest of the civilised world has gun control, and with it experience of enforcing it in an environment where guns were formally unrestricted. there is also a whole bunch of data

you make some interesting points. thanks for the thoughtful reply. :)

thanks for the thoughtful reply. :) you highlight issues that society needs to resolve very astutely.

right, but i think he deserved criticism from the moment he began pursuing her, and for his dogged persistence. the fact that he managed to end up in a relationship at all muddies the waters considerably imo, and makes it difficult to point

define intent and intelligence? i'm yet to see evidence of free will, i'm not convinced i am not just a machine doing its thing like everything else is... also, this feels like a religious argument from both sides.

so i clearly missed the mark here. does anyone care to educate me or just down vote without comment? (i'm being serious. i can't learn without feedback, and clearly i am wrong, i just have no idea why)

by jheriko 12y ago
why not? i wish facebook had a 'dislike' button too, and twitter a public ignore count with how many people chose to ignore a stream... you can't learn with only positive feedback (assuming your brain is mostly neural network

some of the very first and most basic life, algae, completely transformed the atmosphere of the entire planet and continue to have the dominant effect on it, in ways that dwarf the human impact on it in recent times, we do not consider them

i'm sorry, but i think this is BS. why is it that men are allowed to do this and women not? equal rights and opportunities only work to solve this problem if exercised. men have negative consequences from confrontation too... its just

yes, although it does mention in the paperwork that minor offences as a child do not normally stop a visa application. it is also abundantly clear that this is a problem that prevents using the ESTA system to travel. this is part of why i f

i could really go for some of these guidelines too. i like to think i am fairly equal minded, but at the same time i do put my foot in my mouth and fall into the misogynist camp more than i would like. some things are obvious, but every onc

it is true. the analogy i like to use (which is quite belittling to men i guess, and very extreme) is being burned by fire. if you put your hand in fire, you are the victim, but its still your fault when you get burned. the fire isn't

i am making assumptions, i could very well be wrong. the form i had to fill out riddled with questions about arab descent made me skeptical... it might have been more to do with my past, having a minor criminal record as a child or my loud
