    Which one should you choose?

    The one with the largest tits? No, wait, that's for assistants.

    I don't fricking care as long as the page works? Yep, that's the one for the devs.

    Stay anonymous. Fill in entertaining bullshit when they ask you personal questions. They think I'm a gay Black Christian Libertarian who wants legal pot and likes chinchillas.

    Ok, ok, I get it. No need to be rude.

    I'll sell my pot and chinchillas to someone who actually wants them.

    How does that apply to this article, in any way?

    I don't think you'd be surprised by how many upmods you could get by replying with old saying to just about any topic.

    You can even pick one at random, post it in the next news item without even readin it and you'll have big chances of at least a +1 (insightful) among all the offtopics.

    The big question is whether Microsoft can make Games For Windows Live relevant in a market where Steam has taken hold, or if it's too late.

    He must have a different definition of "relevant" than mine to make that a "big question".

  9. Re:Unacceptable false positive rate on Autism Diagnosed With a Fifteen Minute Brain Scan · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wonder how many false positives you can give to a family before they stop believing in modern medicine.

    "Your kid is autistic!
    No, wait, he wasn't. But he's got ADHD! Nope. A tumor! Nope, that's not it.

    *five hours later*

    The pox! Nope. ... Plutonium poisoning! Yeee... Nope. ...

    Does your kid have any south asian prostitute friend?"

    So it only has a 4.5% true positive rate. Great

    Indeed, it's significantly worse than my (99% true rate) autism diagnosing rock that evaporates if an autistic child holds it.

    And my rock takes much less than 15 minutes.

    But from that point on, the reader chooses their own course.

    What if it's a line? Or a plane? Or, is this absurd example of political correctness meant to suggest that only points can be the start of stories. What is wrong with "geometric concept"? Using "geometric concept" actually lets the sentence make sense rather than sound idiotic.

    Change the phrase in the summary to: But from that geometric concept on, the reader chooses their own course. It's common sense, not fucking rocket science. It also keeps everyone happy because it's dimensionless.

    He doesn't need to speak the truth, just to convince the masses. For the masses, a reasoning like "OMG WTF! 10x is UNPOSSIBLE! BBQ!" does work.

    And now the extra piece of my mind that will get me flamed, as always:

    There's no point in you voting. Your vote won't change anything. Voting is not the way of having an effect in a democratic system.

    And now the bad analogy: To found a new religion you start by convincing other people a new god exists, not by convincing yourself and praying to it.
