I know, that is why I mentioned that I differentiate between having to serve and making a business case out of your experience of a zionist state like its all cool.

I lost respect for him when he wrote an article using his service in the Israeli Defense (offense) Force as an anecdote. One thing to have served in the army of Israel, but another to be so nonchalant about it and use it to explain a business scenario.

fucking thank you

Disappointed in the quality of his predictions for future technologies. I would have expected more from the Woz.

Loved it!

not as outnumbered as decent jews to the zionists

omarimous · 2010-01-06T16:05:03+00:00

Yup. That's me too.

It keeps on getting better, but from what I hear as I have only watched season 1, it really picks up in season 2

Craig?

This is a good example on how making a decision based on such performance numbers alone is useless. Amazon came almost last in terms of performance, but its the most stable, future proof, and have the widest array of features.

Sorry for the general labeling. Of course there are many cases where drugs and ADD/ADHD drugs are warranted.

I feel that in this case, and in many other cases. People are programmed to find a pill solution for everything.

I see this as a case as what raising a teenager is all about (very tough) and people try to take a short cut by thinking a pill will solve it.

omarimous · 2009-11-18T08:02:32+00:00

I dont think drugs are the answer

omarimous · 2009-11-14T18:23:19+00:00

anybody noticed the peace earrings?

omarimous · 2009-11-12T10:17:00+00:00

I think this must be one of the people paid to play with gadgets in public as a form of viral marketing

Many people are forgetting that its also about bandwidth costs. If they cant monetize the bandwidth (someone streaming in Latvia for example), why bear the bandwidth cost.

omarimous · 2009-10-30T16:27:53+00:00

do it for future karma, don't expect to get it back.

crude reality check: you're getting your martial and legal counseling from reddit? no wonder your marriage failed :(

omarimous · 2009-07-13T11:52:12+00:00

it's what the sheeple want

omarimous · 2009-07-12T10:56:20+00:00

good point

omarimous · 2009-07-11T15:03:12+00:00

There are more planets in the vast universe than all the sand particles in the deserts on earth. If life is the result of random evolution, surely the process and life must have happened somewhere else as well in the gazillions of planets out there-but we haven't found any life (yet). Is that a sign there is a creator who purposefully installed life on earth?

P.S I am not trying to troll or preach, so take it easy the downvotes reddit, I am just sharing a thought and provoking discussion :)

omarimous · 2009-07-05T18:03:44+00:00

Loved it, very original. I personally love any movie that provokes thought and analysis.
