  1. YES!!!!! Finally......holy crap, that is the most annoying thing ever.
  2. That its completely up to americans.....I have learned that there are no intelligent debate to be had on this topic.
  3. I have been having some discussions about this with some friends from asian countries and they have the same problem, just worse. The schools aren't trying to make students into work successes when they leave school..they are instead focused on constantly grading and ranking everybody. In how many work places are you required to work within a team? A huge majority of them......But did you have a lot of group work or group tests? Did you get a chance to think outside the box and solve a problem`? No....You got to put some X' in some boxes.....brilliant.
  4. Ofcourse...When researching, we should absolutely be critical. And I was...Getting any unbiased information is an oxy moron, but getting a lot of information about corporate subsidies in general, is pretty difficult. There is a lot of powerful industry who isn't really that interested in getting it out. The media mostly haven't been able to lift this burden, so the ctj is one of the few organisation critical....Ofcourse you need to be careful, but they do tend to be pretty careful since they know that their "opponents" have plenty of money to fight back when they get stuff wrong. Read it, and take away from it what you want....thats really the best we can do. But I think it was unfair to describe it as "sully industry names".....People have no problem criticizing poor people for taking tax payer money, but when you criticise big business for doing the same, you are just out to sully industry names.
  5. They are already in the closing stages of choosing them...You guys are a bit late to the party. They are down to 100 or 10 or something. Theres a dane among them, hence why I know it.
  6. ¨The CTJ.org is a pretty respected organisation that is widely cited by the washington post and the wall street journal.... Those industries are making plenty of whitemash reports that get taken at face value, so I really don't see why you should be so much more skeptical. This is however not particularly controversial....Most of these numbers are publicly available.... "Sully industry names"....Oh those poor defenceless babies...What ever will they survive the injustice?!? Another way of saying "Given the sole purpose of the creation of this document was to sully industry names" would be "A report that investigates certain industries"..... Thats like dismissing the FBI report about fifa because its sole purpose is to sully fifa's name..... YES YES YES!!! Sorry about my enthusiasm, but SOOOOO much this! This is still the thing that drives me the most insane about especially US and Asian education systems....There is just no focus on "How are we actually going to use this in the real world?" There are so many people who are in for a massive culture shock when they actually go out of school and into employment because the only thing they are used to, is memorizing stuff....Guess what!? You don't need that still in the fucking job market. But taking information from different sources, and finding a way to use that information..Now THAT is really useful, is almost all sectors. But I guess parents need those tests....The most important thing about school is ofcourse the ability to brag to your friends how your kid got an A on this or that test...
  7. I really really dislike the blond guy for some reason.
  8. Hell no! Subsidise internet for the poor? Fuck that! nono, Subsidies is only for Corn Wheat Soybeans Rice Beer Milk Beef Peanut Butter Sunflower Oil "56 percent of the total tax subsidies went to just four industries: financial, utilities, tele-communications, and oil, gas & pipelines." Actually using money on citizens? Tsk tsk!
  9. Fantastic article! But I doubt it will happen. There are far fewer people with actual knowledge in this area than there was 15 years ago. But its also because its way too easy. In the past, you had to research just to get shit working....There was far more work involved with just about every task you did. And this is why I will never ever work as a technician again. "He explains that the Internet used to be on his desktop, but isn't any more. I close I.E. and scour the desktop, eventually finding the little blue 'e' buried amongst some PowerPoint and Excel icons. I point to it. He points to a different location on the screen, informing me of where it used to be. I drag the icon back to it's original location. He's happy" :D I had a similar panicked call from a family member the other day.....When he closes down his computer, a huge error message appears he said in a panicked voice...He was sure he had a virus that was taking over.. I visit, and when I restart the message doesn't appear. It turns out that it only happens when he was watching something on youtube, and just pressed turn off computer....Its a chrome message:p
  10. oh. yes they do...don't know how many. There are a lot of people who are deluded beyond belief in terms of what they believe merits a price however. People aren't always so understanding of supply and demand, and thinks that if they spend a lot of time on something, then they deserve to be paid.
  11. Making fun of old mens memory is not nice.,
  12. The stopped the #90 thing after 590gtx. as far as i can remember at least.
  13. Unless you are absolutely forced to buy AMD, nobody should be recommending the 8320 anymore....Seriously. There are so much more value for money among Intel products.
  14. I almost never read manga, but I recently gave it a shot with Evergreen and that shit almost ruined everything ever....(Seriously....The author lost her fucking mind.-..can't believe she wrote toradora and golden time and then produced this nightmare)
  15. Cop to trik: "God man...what happened to you? We used to go to school together and this is how you ended up!?....WHY MAN WHY!?`" Trik response: "I really needed this new graphics card with pretty lights on them!" :D :D :D
  16. I think we all have given up....Stop being a cheap bastard, and buy a digital version like the rest of us. You cannot just copy your disk contents......
  17. Some of the comments in this thread:-(
  18. dammit.....I had at least hoped for the one advantage of this...Fewer videos on youtube of open carry advocates being really impolite. But can't even have that. We have establised that I don't understand(Seriously....i really dont), but are there many concealed carry licensed people who would "shift" to this?
  19. I agree....few non americans would.... Hence not touching it. But I doubt there will be much fruitful debate on that issue here...just saying:-) Unless you are really itching to find opposition
  20. There are the rule of thumb that people only focus on CPU and GPU, but I would never ever touch a MB like that. The two most likely things to break in your computer is your power supply and your mb...Why go cheap on those parts?
  21. Hehe....It was really insane the amount of over exposure there was with Pokemon on a global scale for a long time. I remember the card game being insanely popular too. Being 500 eps behind is okay, considering they insane amount of eps created. Okaaaaaay........Not even gonna touch that one.
