The current school system was never made to produce good students. This article gives a good overview: Link I never felt I was getting a good education when I attended high school and fought with the teachers over that fact. I learned more by studying on my own and spending time in the library. All the school system meant for me was a place I had to be during the day, more like a jail
I had an interview with a company that uses personality and IQ tests. I was referred to the company through a recruiter I knew. The first 2 interviews went great and the recruiter said they loved me. I just had to go back and write the tests. After that I didn't hear from them for a week. Finally the recruiter was called back by them and they told him they had some concerns because I scored too high on the IQ portion of the test. In the end I didn't ge
Here as an interesting article about bee losses: http://www.informationliberation.com/index.php?id=21912 Something worth taking a look at.
The other problem is that judges seem to think that cops are perfect and would never lie or do anything illegal. That was the issue on Ontario, Canada. The policy had a habit of tailgating people to goad them into doing something wrong. There were numerous complaints but the view was again that policy would never break the law like that or lie about it. There was only one case where a police officer was reprimanded for tailgating and that was
My brother know one guy who is worth over 5 million and he hasn't payed any taxes in a long time. His account shuffles the money around, mainly through real estate. He then borrow of the real estate he owns and lives of that.
No problem Dr. Guy, I was just having lunch and figured I would post the answer since I had some time. There is one site that had some interesting puzzles. They also posted the answers. I can put the URL of the site here if you want or if Xythe wants the URL and he can post a question at a time and provide answers later. Your choice.
26 minutes before 6 o'clock would be 4 times the number of minutes after 3 o'clock 50 minutes earlier. 26 minutes before 6 o'clock is 5:34 50 minutes before 5:34 is 4:44 there are 104 minutes after 3 o'clock when it is 4:44 26x4=104
Some of the people are waiting in line hoping they can pick up a couple and then sell them on eBay at a 200% markup.
Converting game code to multithreaded is no walk in the park, so I don't expect ANY multithreaded game engines to show up in wide use until late 2007/early 2008. Valve will be releasing an updated multithreaded source engine beginning of 2007. So it's not going to be that long.
The new Unreal engine is multithreaded and Valve is going to be releasing an update to the source engine that is multithreaded, in fact it will spawn as many threads as there are processors available. Also Alan Wake is heavily multithreaded and will require at least a dual core to run. Considering that the Unreal engine and the Source engine are popular with 3rd part developers we will be seeing more and more games that can take advantage of multi core
Kaspersky was rated the highest in a recent test. Caught the most viruses out there. AOLs free anti virus software is actually using Kaspersky. As much as I hate to recommend anything from AOL it is free.
So if the girl asks a guy to marry her does the guy still have to buy her a diamond ring? Or does she buy one her self. Or maybe she gives the guy a diamond ring, now that would be a switch.

I know there was a gas station that had Krispy Kreme donuts in Michigan. It was on the corner of 6 mile and Haggerty, just down the road from where the old Stardock building was. Congrats on the job Zoomba.
When I was 6 years old I was walking to school and got hit by a drunk driver who ran a red light. I flew over 10 feet and landed on my back. Only reason I am alive is because I had a backpack on so my head didn't hit the concrete. The driver got away with it and I spent over a month in the hospital.
This just brought back a memory from a long time ago. I remember when I was a kid some of the other kids used to do that. Luckily nobody died. I never wanted to try, I just didn't like giving up that kind of control and did not understand why someone would. One of the reason I have never used drugs either. But it's definately like it says in the article link, it is an activity that is passed down for generations through whispers. I just wish we would p
I just find it funny that you shouldn't use drugs for mental illness and that drugs cloud your judgment when L Ron Hubbard came up with the whole thing while on a month long drug binge and was so baked he probably would have taken a cartoon for reality.

I do have a bone to pick with Brad and his game. It's been keeping me up and I haven't had any sleep the last few days. It really should come with a warning on the box
I was born in Yugoslavia ro what is now known as Serbia. My heritage is not Serbian but was a minority there, but I still have relatives and friends there. The other thing that the EU shoud demand is that the government is cleaned up and that the mafia that pretty much runs everything there is also cleaned up. Until that happens they should not be allowed to join the EU. Right now if you want to run a business there you have the government off
I have a subscription to Object Desktop, bought a subscription to Wincustomize as well and just purchased Galactic Civilizations 2. I did it because I think Stardock produces some cool products and I believe in supporting them. One thing I don't expect is for Brad to bend over backward when it comes to Joeuser. This is a free site and just the fact that it's up we should be thankful to Brad. If You don't like how he runs the blog then create your own.
I have been thinking about applying to Stardock for a while. My fiance is bugging me that we move closer to Canada since our family is there. I worked in Michigan for 3 years (it was just down the street from the old Stardock offices) before I moved here to Nebraska.
I worte IVR software for one company I worked at before. We had a client who called in saying that the system was going down every night. I went to the clients office and checked throught the system. Looked at the settings checking everything. I was still there when it was quitting time when the guy came in to see how things were going. I said I haven't figured out what the problem is yet and would spend a little more time. He told me ok and that he wa
Just wondering if you are going to be taking advantage of the new multi core processors. It’s a pain to write multi threaded apps properly but it seems that the way to the performance crown is no longer with increasing the performance of the processors but adding cores. Also if you could devote one core to the AI it could make things very interesting.
