    A New Capital of Call Centers

    I worked in a call center in the Philippines for over a year and I can say that while English is *technically* an official language (the other being Tagalog), even the call center agents I interacted with on a daily basis were not capable of more than small talk without difficulty. Accents are...

    Female Gamers Get No Respect

    As is the case often with this type of article, it is a joke. Until the next God Of War stars Homer Simpson instead of Kratos, I don't think much can be said about the physical attractiveness or lack of clothing on female characters. Only being able to pick a male character? Boohoo. I played...

    US Students Not So Worldly Wise

    Another judgment call. Frankly I'm horrible at navigation, and I know it. For some reason my brain just does not retain / process that type of information well. Having said that, I drove from Indiana to California without issue because I used a GPS. It worked out pretty well for me because...

    US Students Not So Worldly Wise

    I'm not glorifying ignorance or advocating laziness, I'm just questioning the value of memorizing things like the first 13 colonies. There is a significant difference in understanding, and knowing. I can memorize as much as I want, but that does not infer anything other than my ability to...

    You lose fluency when stringing the letters together, and just do not know how to make certain letters at all. Even if you can remember what they look like (generally) you may not know the proper / efficient way to make the character. Ever seen anyone mess up an ampersand badly? Also its...

    US Students Not So Worldly Wise

    While true, the issue is the focus on impractical things that will not be used, and cramming to pass a test then forgetting. This is why so many people just cant print or write very well anymore - we just don't use it. In the chase for a "well rounded person", so much gets thrown at students...

    US Students Not So Worldly Wise

    You are right, I don't relate to other people. I don't really care if I do either. As far as "not knowing shit about humans or humanity" what is it that I need to know, that you think I don't? Merely having a collection of facts to regurgitate on command does not imply understanding. I...

    US Students Not So Worldly Wise

    I've always disliked that show, because trivial / general knowledge is not the same thing as intelligence. To build on that, judging intelligence or worth in any way on trivia is pathetic really. I'm a geek, my trivia is tech not history. It would be like my sitting down with my parents and...

    US Students Not So Worldly Wise

    When people look for ignorance, they will find it. This is not unique to the US. See the video recently about people in Australia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU2dZz18P0c 30% of people asked could not answer how long it takes for the Earth to orbit the Sun. Also, email *is* slow (in that...
