Another point is just how much dang repetition there is in news sources. People just reprint the AP or Reuters version without any thought, editing or original journalism. Scary.

ugh. I agree with you.

I once believed that programmers, tech commenters, people of opinion, and 5.7billion other people lived outside the US.

I'm very glad that google has informed me that those beliefs are in fact a massive hallucination

bah! none of these are specific to blogging at all!

I mean, I agree with having firebug there, for example, however, adblock?! download status bar?! they might be awesome, but they're not exactly "blogging power tools"

How about scribefire or zemanta?

Re: Google’s Gay Agenda

congratulations fuckwit. First you whine on duncan's blog then you go over to a clearly pro-gay site in order to troll because you're losing over there.

You go on about how people have the right not to have things shoved down their throat yet you harrass and shove your agenda down everyone else's

how old are you again? 15?

Re: The Religious Right Is Going To Boycott Google In 3…2…1…

snipergirl — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:22:40 -0000

let me put my earlier post in a form that you are less likely to misinterpret due to an inability to read:

how come:
1) homosexual behaviour has been legalised in most states in america since the 70's
2) gay marriage and civil unions are present in several of your states
if america is so devoutly anti-gay/queer/whatever as you claim?

surely if that were the case wouldn't they be outlawing homosexual relationships rather than the opposite? surely you wouldn't have a democratic nominee who is pro gay rights? surely the federal bill to ban gay marriage would have passed?

in fact, SURELY, you wouldn't have a wide variety of opinions about the whole issue represented throughout various areas and states in america! Like, say the fairly liberal north-east, california and other fairly educated areas of the US.

also:
how come:
1) you refer to native americans as savages
2) ignore the fact that american/judeo-christian culture has its roots in Europe, in particular in the UK
3) also conveniently ignore the fairly benign history that christianity had with homosexuality before St Thomas Aquinas
4) seem to pick and choose your american history to prove your point while ignoring the flagrantly obvious points which discount your ideas and prejudices
5) lump all non-straight activists under the same label when they often are campaigning for a different set of rights- i bet you don't even realise that some gay/queer activists are against gay marriage, do you?
6) persist in making an ass of yourself by completely misinterpreting context, wording and the finer points of debating
7) have such a stubbornly US-centric view when most of the (even WASP) world lives outside the US
if you are not in fact an uneducated, history-ignoring, backwards, incapable of logic, bigoted hick who has let himself be provoked into revealing himself as exactly the kind of person who the religious US right is stereotyped to be, within the US and outside it.

Let me repeat that: you have shown yourself to be an ignorant, bigoted stupid hick to the world. And you walked straight into that trap. Congratulations for furthering your cause!!

NEXT!

How come homosexuality is mostly legal and several of your states even have gay marriage and civil unions then? Seems like it's getting easier to be gay in America by leaps and bounds quite contrary to all of your posts about just how much America "hates the gays"

There's a hint hidden in here Wolfsbayne- it's "you can come out of the closet and take it up the ass too!"

Don't be shy now...

I keep thinking that I really love their "we'll do what we like thanks" attitude... but being disappointed that they don't actually apply that philosophy to other areas of their business practice- like say censoring search results in China.

I guess there are far less people in the religious right than there are in China. (sorry Wolfsbane but you really ARE in the minority as far as the western world is concerned. We're mostly secular, have a low birth rate and don't have neurosyphilis)

So I guess I'm kinda cynical on this one in a way...

... but hell it's still fucking awesome regardless

So Canada, the UK (where your esteemed culture is originally from), Spain, New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Finland, various US states, parts of Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, South Africa, Switzerland, Uruguay, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Switzerland have all legalised same sex unions.

Sorry dude, you're losing this one ;).

Oh and thanks for posting your last 2 comments- you've proved the point about your own stupidity which I think Duncan was actually trying to give you the benefit of the doubt about by removing. Nothing like a particularly stupid person from the so-called "religious right" making their case even more pig-headed and retarded.

*claps*

I find it interesting that wolfsbayne and others are always going on about the "queer agenda" as if "the gays" are some sort of paramilitary organisation.

He wishes. Wolfsbayne, you're clearly hoping they turn up at your doorstep and get you laid, rarrrr. Nice manly name by the way- it's the perfect cover for your secret closet identity.

Oh- and please do some historical research before you post on society and how universally against homosexuality it's always been. I suggest you have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berdache for some information on exactly how accepted homosexual behaviour was in the Americas in the past and for a little more military wank-material for you there's always http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_t...

Re: Can Academia Prepare Students for the Real World?

snipergirl — Wed, 07 May 2008 08:41:58 -0000

I'm from a completely different background here, so bear with me.

You just can't be a doctor or a scientist without the proper academic background (Einstein of course being a 1 in a hundred million sort of occurence guy). You just can't.

My medical course, sure, had issues with how much it really prepared us for the real world, but the biggest comment coming out of there was that having had a dramatically changed course (slanted more towards the vocational side than previously) there was a lot of anatomy and some other quite clinically relevant academic detail we had missed out on.

In fact my biggest disappointment last year was learning that my intern year in many ways was not equipping me adequately for my further training and career development (due to lack of professional development skills, training and support) - even though my academic knowledge HAD.

Similarly my father, a very senior electrical engineer states fairly frequently that the reduced basic sciences content in engineering degrees has led to a drop in long term ability in the workplace.

And then of course there are scientists and researchers- who need the theoretical framework because that is what their everyday work is all about.

In those fields in particular, the job can be picked up "on the job" as it were- and mostly is, whereas the theoretical frameworks cannot.

IT and computer science is a different kettle of fish as I am constantly reminded by my programmer/IT/comp sci friends. On a close to daily basis.

For one thing it is a new field and a lot of its innovations have not been incorporated into academic learning in a worthwhile or applicable manner... and a lot of the theory is still in development anyway. So I can imagine that comp sci degrees just suck balls for that reason.

Anyway that's my 2 cents. Academia is good for some fields and not very good for others. I think universities provide a very important role but seem to be less applicable to programming than to other professions.
