    ...as few others as possible. 1-2-3-4-5-6 is, in fact, the worst possible choice...

    Doesn't work nearly as well outside the USA. Hurrah for capitalism, right?

  4. Re:Purchased 4 so far on Raspberry Pi Hits the 2 Million Mark · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Running xbmc (openelec) on a total of 31, so far. I use 7 here at home, and the rest I've acquired for friends and relatives. I've totally cut the cable, I have moderately high-speed internet and I get a 10 or so tv channels ota. Basically, $70/mo for internet, and all my television (including all live sports (I *do* pay $150/yr for nhl gamecenter, archived games, etc)), music, movies, looked after. Most of the others who have acquired the pis from me have cut the cable, too...

    Ah yes, but then will need an archive to archive all the archives that are not archived in the archive. Are you starting to see the problem?

  6. Similar Concerns on Full Details of My Attempted Entrapment For Teaching Polygraph Countermeasures · · Score: 2

    I'm in a similar situation as the submitter, but I mostly just tell people how to lie to their wives (partners, etc)

    I often get emails from Princes, Damsels-in-distress, penis pill pushers, and a plethora of other fake and scammy looking stuff.

    I'm pretty sure it's my wife, because she can't spell worth a shit.

    Is the submitter *spoken-for* ? It could just be the partner, messin' with him. I believe I can be of help.

    cheers,

    Hey, I mine my own coal and use a coal-powered steam generator to refine oil to gasoline, then I use the gas-driven generator to power my flashlight, which directs a beam at my solar panel, which boosts the volume on my crystal radio. If I drop acid, the tinny sound seems stereo-ish.

    I hope to win a ribbon at the science fair.

    +1 Insightful? (at the time of this posting...)

    We joke about having an internet test for the low-hanging fruit out there, yet this poster totally misconstrues and misinterprets the original post, pulls a claim out of his ass, and also calls the gp a douche.

    And gets modded "Insightful". Perhaps the non-English-native-speaking mod meant "Inciteful."

    Some dumb mod should be undoing this mistake, but he's probably on Facebook now fawning over Bieber's new haircut.
