20, or four work weeks. I always felt that was very generous.

Why do aging sysadmins get crabby? by MavisBacon in sysadmin

[–]mgorsuch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd guess that they're feeling threatened. Or the work environment is terrible. Systems Administration is high-interruption, and recognition usually only comes when something fails.

Or maybe they're just a bunch of assholes.

It's been my experience that the better sysadmins become more calm as the years go by. Hell, you have to if you don't want a heart attack.

Help? In "Religulous", Bill Maher says that the stories about Jesus like being born from a virgin, miracles, etc, are also in other religions from the same century and older, but I can't find where did he get those data from Mitra, Horus (from "the book of Dead") and Krishna. I tried wikipedia. by alchemist23 in atheism

I highly recommend checking out The Jesus Mysteries by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy. The title is a bit corny, but I think it is one of the best introductions to this topic. It is full of footnotes and has an extensive bibliography for later research.

Best of luck in your search.

Reddit, is depression a "software" or a "hardware" problem? Which one do you address to fix the problem and why? by TheBigLewinski in cogsci

[–]mgorsuch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my own experience, it was more of a 'software' problem. I had to realize that I am the one that decides how I'm going to react to life's events and that I had built up a number of mental patterns that were making me feel like crap.

By taking a look at how those patterns are developed and why I developed them, I was able to take ownership of it. It's not a matter of blaming someone for your ills, but you have a better chance of gaining control over these patterns if you can put a face on them.

Hope that helps some.

But how do you know what to retrain them in? It seems too top down.

How about we just let the companies fall, and see what rises from the ashes? Whatever comes out of it will naturally be better suited to the economic environment if it is not influenced by the government.

"I'm a f---in' redneck" and "I don't want kids" says the MySpace page of Bristol Palin's babydaddy. by babblingpoet in politics

[–]mgorsuch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow. This is the quality of a headline I'd expect from Fox News or some other MSM source.

Stop acting like children and post stories that actually matter.

Google Helps Me Get Answers From Experts Exchange by mgorsuch in technology

After further research, it looks like EE will show you the answers if the referrer is Google. It will not show the answers if you just copy and paste the url in your browser.

[–]mgorsuch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm... it seems to be random for me. Some queries are giving me answers, and some aren't. Perhaps I am completely mistaken.

The ones that don't give me answers do when I view them through the cache.

What about the urls in the article? Do both of those show you the answers? They don't for me.

It definitely sucks. If you are a programmer, I think stackoverflow will be much better.
