Is that your "professional" advice there Dr. Phil. Getting outdoors and exercise are two documented treatments for SAD, so get over yourself. Maybe learning how to express your feelings without swear words would be a good winter project f

Ironically, blue color trades have known that since their inception. Electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc all mix book work with hands on training. Why shouldn't all academics follow that proven method (after all, MD's do - can you ima

What a bunch of hooey. I love winter, the more snow the better. Get out, and blow the stink off. Go sledding with the kids, snow shoeing with your friends, downhill skiing for yourself (downhill skiing is just like golf - you only have t

Since we only "hear" one side of the story, it's impossible to tell if he's brave, daring, or foolish doing work without a specific and valid contract. At least it ends with him getting paid.

NASA should stick with what they do best - robot explorers. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, soon Pluto, plus Mercury, and the famous Mars twins - all excellent and great ROI projects. Lots of science, lots of knowledge. Their Humans in

Why would intelligent life that can expand and conquer their part of the universe use clunky ancient inefficient technology like radio waves. We humans have had radio for about 100 years and already we're moving on. Digital satellite radio

One shining note to remember before everyone turns doom and gloom, in the States (if I remember what the citizenship pamphlet said when I got my green card), it's not really "law" until it stands up to a test case in a court of law. Since t

No I'm encouraging free will. Who better then each individual to make their own choice to live or die. How can anyone say "just wait, things will get better". Are the people making that hollow promise willing to back that up with healthc

Nice to see HN promotes freely discussing ALL opinions with an open mind. Oh wait, I see they don't. Apparently if you express opinions that others disagree with, the close minded fops want you banned. Meh - if I get banned for disagreeing

Suicide gets a bad rap. With 7 billion plus people on a planet that can't support half that number why are we encouraging these sad sacks to stay alive? Unique? Really, out of 7 billion plus people is anyone really all that special? If yo

First off, any department is ONLY as good as it's management. Don't like IT, don't blame the worker, blame the manager. Second, most users have an IQ somewhere between a pet rock and a retarded monkey. Even a Special Ed teacher loses the
