    Does this mean my geek card is revoked?

    There's a card for that?

    I need to get one of those, I'm getting awfully tired of explaining what the "I grock Spock" on my mustard stained t-shirt means.

    Wow, believe it or not, most people aren't going to care about a theory that A) Doesn't affect them B) has many people that reject it C) Has no short or medium-term impact and D) has no effects right now.

    They should care, because it does, and is, affecting them right now and in the short and medium term in the form of economically harmful regulation that is put in place by politicians who either believe, or find it politically expedient to act as if they believe, in this theory.

    Whether or not global warming A) exists, B) is harmful, or C) is caused by us, is far from a sure thing, but what is a surety is that public policy is and has been set by the proponents of this theory and whether or not said regulations have helped our planet, they have hurt our economy.

    The greatest trick global warming ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.

    It's the only way we can stop global warming!

    It's not global warming anymore, it's climate change.

    That way we have a name that describes both global warming and global cooling, so that either way we have an excuse to increase regulation.

    Maybe the fact that a hole is there doesn't mean you can exploit it.

    I've seen a lot of videos on the internet that suggest there's no such thing as a hole you can't exploit.

  12. Re:Some numbers on Google URL Index Hits 1 Trillion · · Score: 1

    died in a blogging accident was there solely as a pop (nerd?) culture reference to xkcd. The post topic is getting the fewest google results above 0 with a quoted string, a string with 15k+ results is completely irrelevant to the post as anything other than as a allusion for the benefit of people who are already familiar with the comic.

    The defense rests, you are sentenced to finding every instance of "the cake is a lie" on slashdot and demanding that they attribute Portal, and when you're done with that you can move on to asking people to attribute 'all your X are belong to us' to Zero Wing.

    I bid you good day.

  19. Re:The majority of middle America is unaware on ISP Embarq Monitors User Traffic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    thats the brutal and unfortunate truth. Its not to say that everyone is unaware in areas where there is less exposure to different types of people, which you gain in major cities. For the most part, in large numbers, people will remain ingnorant and complacent until there is some form or ability to organize and invoke change.

    I'm going to start randomly pasting this into comments on new stories, it's generic enough to work with almost every story and will probably soak up the insightful mod points.

    I find the phrase 'deep packet inspection' interesting because it simultaneously describes the technique used and a large subset of the results acquired.

    Life is rare; it only appeared once in our solar system that we know of. Intelligent life is even more rare. Like you say, there is only one intelligent species we know of.

    On the other hand, of the planets we know of that have life, 100% of them have intelligent life. So maybe it's not that rare.
