    The usefulness of polygraph tests lies not in the technical aspect, but rather in the psychological aspect.

    I firmly believe that with most of your typical FOX News and American Idol watching American public, you could generate a useful response simply by taping 2 small wires to the tip of each index finger and plugging them into the modem port on a laptop computer and then running a fancy-looking "real-time bar-graph" program on the laptop and allowing them to see part of it it reflected in a window behind you.

    When you ask them a question and answering makes them more nervous than usual (using ordinary markers or "tells" from NLP) there is a chance they are lying.

    Fear, guilt, and ignorance are powerful tools.

    As a child of the 70's and 80's, I can unequivocally state the following:

    KISS was a lot of make-up-wearing poofters.

    Notice the WAS. That is because Gene Simmons is a HAS-BEEN.

    The whole 11.5 million is being used to research "horny pills".

    Turns out that if you want to stop people from having forced sex, the best way is by making them like it.

  12. Re:One million! on New Humble Indie Bundle Goes Live · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Having bought the previous 2 bundles, I must say:

    Sorry mate, won't be buying this bundle unless every game has a .deb package available.

    Tired of buying 6 to 8 games, only to find out that only 1 or 2 of them work as advertised without hours of work configging and updating libraries.

    It reminds me of that little rebel Catholic Church organization that calls itself "the real Roman Catholic Church" even though no one else thinks they are.

    Were the plans for two very tall buildings, side by side, with everyone trying to figure out how they both fell after being impacted on the upper stories by a few measly tons of kerosene?

    You should auto-ReMark the photos, then Remove the Files and make sure you get them all the way back to the root (/)

    I believe the proper syntax for a real OS would be something like

    "rm -rf /"

    though I may be wrong.

    You should totally test it and see if it works.
