I have long wanted to know what photo viewing software they have on all the CSI and other style shows. They can take a blurry picture of a big area and zoom into a reflection in a window and tell you the license plate of car in the reflection or zoom into other things that all the software I have can't do.
Costco is screwed no matter which option they choose here. If they had donated the peanut butter, the headlines would have been "Costco donates potentially tainted peanut butter to NM food banks." Either way, they end up with a tarnished image, even if all of the peanut butter is untainted.
In this case it sounds like the product was damaged anyway, with peanut oil leaking out of the jars, so they made a decision not to sell or donate damaged merchandise. Since they were screwed either way, this was likely the least damaging of the two options.
"NO! Get out of here with that Ubuntu, and lay off the poor Linux, will ya?! SHEEZE! You're a creep! Go away, we were having a good time until you showed up, Canonical! ARGH! Go have some coffee with cream, or something! Because I'll tell you something! This is a happy place!"
Seriously, I'm going back to Debian after this crap...
You know what most people would call embarassingly parallel sex? Infidelity.
Not exactly. Infidelity would be serial (you sleep with your SO, then you sleep with your outside partner). Embarrassingly parallel is more like a 3-way or a circle jerk...

I wish I had mod points for this...
Cue the Skynet / Matrix references in 3...2...1...
...Why is this news?
Because they couldn't do it before....

I've been on Slashdot long enough that I can remember when Bennett Haselton was named Jon Katz....
This is possibly the most sensible post in the thread. Bravo!

Sorry, had to be done.

FTFY. "Fundraising" implies there's actually something legitimate to raise funds for, like beating cancer, or kids.
I didn't know beating kids was a worthwhile fundraiser....just saying....

...Jeff Bezos could drive revenues by publicly shitting in to a box of squirrels.
I, for one, would pay to see that, so maybe there are in fact some revenue opportunities in squirrel shitting...who knew?

The weak link is always humans.
Which is why we will soon be switching all nuclear launch authority to WOPR and/or Skynet...
Finally, a DSLR that can detect squant!

Just sayin'.
You already did. It's called taxes.
...sock puppet in prison...
I don't think they can use Slashdot from prison, no matter how many accounts they have...
No Doubt third wave references will show up. That's the Impression that I Get, anyway...
NOOO! The cake is a lie!!!!
Semaphore? What kind of weak sauce namby-pamby bullshit is that?
Us real cyber-criminals use smoke signals, n00b.
I'm sorry, I'm a geek; I don't understand sports metaphors. :-)
If you have to tell us it's an asshole-ish statement, it's not...oh wait, it was. Nevermind.

I'm not typically a grammar nazi, but please people: udders don't crap, they produce milk. The phrase is "utter crap". Thank you. That is all.
