    The most subtle part of his plan was where he changed 1+2 to equal 1.

    Technically, ants are edible, but more trouble than it's worth under most circumstances. And if you get chocolate dipped honey ant, it's delicious.

    Well, it better have recipes that call for sediment-shaped sediment.

    Playstation was the first console I owned, not counting a computer. My uncle had an NES that was probably my first experience with gaming. Possibly Atari, though, I don't really remember.

    It's a shame you're an AC, because this is the best analogy I've seen yet for 'making available' as a crime.

    I can't find the "Mac's don't have viruses because no one writes them for macs" "wow, you can't even get people to write viruses for your OS." "yeah, i cry myself to sleep a lot." cartoon. You mean this one?

    It depends on whether that schmuck down the street uses TurboTax or not.

  9. Re:Here's to hoping! on Could the RIAA Just Disappear? · · Score: 1

    Does it have to just disappear? I'd rather see it be ripped apart by a horde of savage meerkats or something. I'd PPV that.

    Oh, I fully agree that the kid is guilty. I'm just saying that if someone picking an easy to pick lock could potentially cause the deaths of random commuters, someone should have said "Maybe we want a better lock on this..."

    If this were happening, then we shouldn't have had four trams derailed, unless this kid was actively waiting for the very last moment to switch.

    Really, because I was under the impression that the driver really has very little control over his route? Yes, the kid fails, but if he could cause this much trouble with simple mischief, consider how much trouble someone who was out to cause trouble could create.

    Responsible engineers speak up when they see bad specs. Honestly, how hard would it be to have trains that can automatically set the junction to the correct position? Just slap a continuously broadcasting remote control on the damn thing.

  16. Re:And impact employment and insurance? on ID Tech May Mean an End to Anonymous Drinking · · Score: 1

    I am opposed to drugs for my use, I am opposed to drugs that result in environmental pollutants that could easily affect people other than the person who is choosing to use it (basically anything that is smoked, including cigarettes), and I am opposed to people who take drugs of any sort, then proceed to do unfortunate things. A friend of mine had an alcoholic father growing up, and that really turned me off of beer and liquor to the point where I spent my 21st birthday completely sober.

    I could honestly care less if you want to shoot, snort, drink, or smoke anything in your own home. I'm not opposed to drug use because it's against my morals so no one should do it, I'm opposed to drug use touching on people who want nothing to do with it. You can have all the liberty you want, so long as it doesn't run into mine.

    I'm afraid you've misunderstood me. I have not partaken of marijuana, nor alcohol, nor anything that leads to a high of any kind, save caffeine, and I have given up on that as well. I am opposed to the use of mind-altering substances in general, and specifically those which result in second-hand smoke.

    Personally, I don't like marijuana either. I'm with you on industrial hemp, though.

    You sure? Some people thought that the time for that idea was about 70 years ago. It didn't actually work then either.

    I'm reasonably certain that beer was invented in ancient Egypt, which did have organized religion, but it's unclear whether or not they were the driving force behind it. While fermented fruits may have gotten some people tipsy before that, I think that ancient beer was the first stuff to be knowingly manufactured.

    How astute of you, figuring out that he was a foreigner with nothing more than his statement that there is an ocean between him and Great Britain. Very clever indeed. Do you live on Baker Street, perchance?
