I believe the term that applies here is "herp derp". How could you be silly enough to allow anonymous individuals to access the internet through your computer? You might as well go buy a pound of cocaine and put a sign on your street corner advertising a free coke party. Of course this idiot got arrested and got his gear confiscated.

"I'm not a racist but ..."

'Something an idiot says just before making a comment that proves the idiot is, in fact, a racist.' http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=i'm%20not%20racist%2C%20but%20.%20.%20.

What's odd is why such people seem to feel ashamed of being racists, but are anyway. If you truly hold stupid ideas about race, you should have the courage of your convictions.

I can only assume that racists have just enough intelligence to realise that their views are abhorrent to the majority of people, but nowhere near enough to take a look at those views and see how idiotic they are and not expound them in public..

Wow, conflating an item in a 19th century general store with a restaurant chain and a racial slur?

Sometimes white people are called "Cracker"

General Stores used to have "Cracker Barrels" where folks would sit around the barrel, eat the crackers, and talk about the day's events, politics, etc.

There is a popular restaurant chain called "Cracker Barrel"

Microsoft even added a word to the English language:

They're my hero.

Are they using this to campaign in the traditional sense or is the line between PR/Advertisement and "Spy Agency" is growing thinner and thinner. After all, the CIA started merely reading russian newspapers and expanded from there.

CIA analyst, circa 1980: "You guys, c'mere! It's "Garfield" translated into Russian. Look at that -- that's clearly lasagna, but the caption reads "borscht"! You're going down, Commies!"

Are they gathering information to conduct survailence, and perhaps the type of "blag bag jobs" that become easier and deniable after conducting lengthy intellegence gathering on your subject. Where is the line.

Blagging, while generally innocuous, is not to be confused with blathing, a much more serious offense.

What safeguards do we have in place to prevent these intellegence gathering PR agencies from: Spreading disinformation on enemies, that sounds plausable, based on information they've gathered. Digging up dirt on politicians enemies and disemenating it. Using the social network to intimidate non-likely voters by having their friends shame and intimidate them into voting. Looking up information on critics, and digging up dirt on critics. Digging up dirt on potential voters to keep them in line with some form of blackmail. What system do we have to investigate these people should their massive campaigns succeed and their clients now have the power to pardon or otherwise shield them from the legal proccess after being elected. What happens when these PR goons become the new prateroian guard?

What's with the questions? Are you writing a paper? Nice try, pal. OK, nobody answer him. He needs to quit partying, make a class or two, and work this out for himself. It builds character. It's called basic research: try Google or burn some shoe leather and actual visit your campus library. Jeez.

Even the BBC have started doing it. It's over, guys. The ignorami have won.

Rooting means something entirely different in Australia, I was a bit taken aback by the subject line when it scrolled past my screen.

Ignoring all of the other crazy Morman stuff for the moment, Mormans also have magic underwear.

They're probably no more crazy than any other religious fundamentalists, but that is a really low bar.

“Apparently it was a condition, and they said she did not get it off, and so they charged her with contempt of court,” Kittinger told ABC News.

...sounds like he was pretty involved in the game.

It also sounds like he was well-loved. Choice notes from the forum thread:

• He had some kind of horrible tattoo. A lot of people remember ribbing him for that :-)
• Gently caress
• Digital Ebola: "He died doing the job that he loved. He is missed."
• Arkhamina: "I remember mailing him music in the Green Zone. Friends sent him a headset mic when his was broken. Hard things to find in a war zone."

And probably my favorite:

Many goons have died, but few goons are destined to have their deaths fiercely politicized by the American media during an election year.

Through the bullshit media circus, we will know "That was Vilerat, and he was actually way awesome."

The incorrect spelling of "je ne sais quoi", which in French literally translates to "I know not what". It is often used to describe something of an unknown yet appealing quality.

Let me rewrite the above:

But in practice Linus Torvalds usually lets the core kernel devs *create* the kernel architecture so the design ends-up being favorable to developers and/or allows them immunity when they make design decisions that the community might not like.

False equivalence. The analogy breaks down because Torvalds doesn't force developer compliance & participation in Linux kernel development. Contrast: you can't "opt-out" of government regulation as a regulated entity.

Regulatory capture is real, debilitating, and perhaps reason enough by itself to have a cynical view of government intervention in general. In the context of these incompetently-developed, perverse incentive-creating, ironic outcome-causing government regulations, the term "shit midas" seems apt.

Are you sure it is UNIX they want you to work with, and not Eunuchs?

From your description, I think your friend suffers less from any handedness issue - and more from the 10% rule.

You must be 10% smarter than the equipment you are trying to operate.

We should stop pretending that the republicans are in opposition to the democrats. It's a very old game. Diffuse the blame and stay in office.

I have been trained enough to know what to do if anyone ever presents a weapon -- regardless of the material it is made of. I feel totally safe, not because I have a weapon, but because I am a weapon.

You have swallowed a truckload of weapons-grade bullshido.

Actually they're intentionally throwing the election. Democrats and republicans are tag team partners. And they always play the shifting blame game.

rotating villain:
"In American democracy, when the majority party has enough votes to pass populist legislation, party leaders designate a scapegoat who will refuse to vote with the party thereby killing the legislation. The opposition is otherwise inexplicable and typically comes from someone who is safe or not up for re-election. This allows for maximum diffusion of responsibility."

...couldn't you have done better than Romney?

No, they're tossing the election. Neither side wants a super majority that could be held culpable when things get really exciting.

Wait.. AdultFriendFinder is a real thing? I just assumed it was a thinly veiled front for prostitution.

You are incorrect. It is not thinly veiled.

Well of course not, AdultFriendFinder is full of Velvet Curtains.

I bet it has even more roast beef curtains.

Once again a wonderful example of FARTS.

Also, for part of the year they stop injecting protons and instead inject lead nucului. This is meant to measure extremely messy but very high energy collisions that should generate quark-gluon plasmas.

OK, now you've got me curious.

I know of cannilingus, but this is clearly different.

Oh the definition of preversions you can find here and don't use the one at Urban Dictionary. It's an abuse of tomatoes!

Urgh. Yeah, it coulda been worse.

The condition you have is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

No...not really a compulsion. I mean, I don't get 'uptight' because food on my plate touches each other....It is just that I like to taste the individual flavors of everything. I don't think things taste as good when mixed...for most things.

Mexican food...for example, is an exception, since it all (at least Tex Mex in the US) is basically the same shit, just rolled up differently....basically corn tortillas, beans, meat, cheese....so, that doesn't bother me.

Hmm..I actually found that Plate Turner is sort of a real term. I thought I'd actually made it up when I was younger.

But I don't consciously do it...I just have always naturally eaten that way. I usually dig into my main entree...say, I'd eat the steak all the way first...then, turn my attention to the baked potato, etc...usually I eat the sides last...favorite one first.

I've met others that eat in the same manner, while not really common, it isn't completely unheard of or uncommon.

Well Dustin Pedroia is already hobbit sized

I'm glad they had a woman on the crew. That type of Space Docking: shitting in her vagina is a bit more acceptable than the other kind where two guys pull their foreskins over the heads of each others penises and rub them around!
