AustinG08··on New services expand IBM Watson capabilities to images, speech, and more
My evidence is anecdotal at best, but I have found Siri to be terrible and my "OK, Google" to be wonderful.

Lol, 'my panties in a bunch'. While it feels good to express oneself, it shows maturity to not shout out 'SHIT!', if even to substitute it with 'SHOOT!', and therein lies the logic. It demonstrates a certain level of restraint, while not absolute restraint, but at least a base level of it. You may not agree. You might also be a self-righteous prick, but since you advocate lack of restraint, there you have it.

Edit: and to clarify,

"It's not a very intelligent thing to change the form of the curse words but not their content." - I never said it was intelligent, I said it made me realize how juvenile people sound when they curse non stop.

"And focus on the logic, not the implied naughtiness of my fictional example" - You are missing the point here, which I stated plainly in my first post: One could argue that speaking like a child is to have no restraint over what comes out of your mouth, not the other way around.

"You want to practice restraint? Then don't say anything instead of swearing. It's as simple as that." - Oversimplifying, a sign of immaturity, i'm concerned about you...

I think a better comparison would be instead of calling your sister fat, you tell her you are upset with her. The point I was making was practicing restraint. If you go around calling people 'fat' to insult them, you are obviously very child like and I don't think the analogy helps your point.

I used to cuss like a sailor until I started gaming with a group of Mormons. Very nice guys and very intelligent. Instead of saying 'fuck' they say 'frick', instead of 'shit' they so 'shoot', instead of 'damn' they say 'dang'. Next thing I knew I started noticing other people swearing, and just how juvenile it sounded. One could argue that truly speaking like a child is to have no restraint over what comes out of your mouth, not the other way around.
AustinG08··on My Gravity lawsuit and how it affects every writer who sells to Hollywood
If only a powerful group like the MPAA would be opposed to such blatant exploitation of a person's creative work...

edit: grammar

AustinG08··on Front End Developer – Interview Questions
Man, the hardest questions for me to answer was the first one: "what did you learn yesterday/this week"? I do so much reading and research in my free time and then to realize how hard it was for me to summarize what it was exactly that I learned. Maybe I just read this stuff for the short term stimulation. When it comes to comprehension and retention maybe I'm not getting out of it what I thought I was. Maybe I should start asking myself what I just learned after everything I read and take some notes o_O
AustinG08··on Presenting the Most Over-Engineered Blog Ever
But is it responsive!? /s
AustinG08··on “Nothing you can do impresses me”
It is slightly convoluted. The author also references a completed project with that being the first question, but if it ISN'T responsive, one could argue that it's not completed :P
AustinG08··on On some LCD monitors this will cause them to emit a tone (epilepsy warning)

AustinG08··on Peter Sunde: 'I went to jail for my cause. What did you do?'
In such an unfair fight, i'd argue it's the BEST method.

AustinG08··on The day UFOs stopped play
ehhh... I want to believe?
AustinG08··on Detroit fears of losing carmaking to Silicon Valley
I would also rather those jobs, companies, and opportunities stay in America and benefit the American economy, the one that I also contribute to and benefit from. Is it wrong to want that? I don't think so.

AustinG08··on CSS3 Box Model behaviour
Pretty surprised that this basic, well known style rule is front page. I guess it's not as well known as I thought.
