Geohashing Meets an Angry Rancher With Firearms
katicli writes "Geohashing, an obscure xkcd pastime which involves going to random coordinates generated by md5 hashing, the date, and the opening status of the stock market, appears to have just gotten far more interesting. The official wiki reports a warning for other geohashers intending to go to the spot designated for June 14th in the San Francisco area, as several avid fans of xkcd were met by an angry rancher and firearms."
Hey, your irrational fear of firearms is showing. RTFA. There was no waving of anything. It says they were in plain view in his truck. In other words, he had a gun rack... Oh no. He had a gun rack with guns on it. RUN TO THE HILLS!
I think I speak for a lot of us here when I say: What a punch of pussies.
Yes, I am a smart ass; it's better than the alternative.
Removing knives from the hands of Brits will also cut down on the number of crimes committed in the kitchen.
My apologies to our British friends, this was a cheap shot at your cooking which has admittedly improved.
Women are like electronics: you don't know how damaged they are until you try to turn them on.
News flash for ya, folks. The exact location where these folks went is out a long, undeveloped road, sure. But San Ramon is a suburb, people. Yeah, if you're out there you'll find that 80 percent of the people are white. But that's not "white trash missin teeth an' drinkin moonshine" white, that's "53 percent of the people in this town are college educated and 17 percent have graduate degrees" white. It's "48 percent of the families in this town have median incomes higher than $100,000" white. Look it up. [san-ramon.ca.us]
Come on, don't let facts get in the way of all the pro-gun slashdot rants. Let's take the average vocally pro-gun slashdot poster. They're geeks, so probably not especially physically imposing. Grew up into math and computers and science, and probably got picked on for it. When they grew up they picked a safe, sedentary job. The only way they can assert their masculinity is by boasting about gun ownership online, and denigrate people who treat guns with caution.
To you city folks who think this is wrong, how would you like to wake up and find me in your living room?
Depends. Are you a seriously-hot blond nympho with huge tits who happens to have a thing for senior software engineers?
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.

Ah, I believe you meant "punch of bussies".
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
It's also generally not a good idea to bring a calculator to a gun fight.

Even worse.
If I woke up and found some weird guy in my living (or any other) room, well, just kick him out. Yeah, I don't lock my door or anything, and there is little or nothing in the fridge, so it's not that big a deal.
However, if a busty blonde nympho suddenly turned up in the middle of the night, the busty brunette/redhead (depends on her mood) sleeping next to me might be inclined to expect an explanation.
And I would have none.
Ignore this signature. By order.
A farm near my parents had an incident where someone started shooting at a combine.
The combine probably deserved it.
... survivors will be shot again.
Someone's sig on slashdot.

That's when I reach for my SECOND gun on the wall...the squirt gun for those wet T-shirt emergencies like this

My UID is prime... is yours?
On the contrary, they are often quite jolly.
