Origins: This wonderful bit of creative writing began circulating on the Internet in April 1998. Written by Mark Boslough as an April Fool's parody on legislative and school board attacks on evolution in New Mexico, the author took real statements from New Mexican legislators and school board members supporting creationism and recast them into a fictional account detailing how Alabama legislators had passed a law calling for the value of pi to be set to the "Biblical value" of 3.0.
"What's the password?"
"idontknow"
"Well then, how do you login?"
"I use the password."
"Alrighty, what's the password?"
"idontknow"
"Arrg, you just said you use the password to login."
The middlemen (pimps) would be taken out of the equation entirely because prostitutes would be empowered to have total control over their enterprise, as they do on craigslist and other sites.
The house normally gets half of the negotiated amount. If the customer arrives by cab, the driver will receive some 30% of whatever the customer spends; this is subtracted from the woman's earnings.
No, instead it's a failure of the penal system in rehabilitating him.
Agreed. Although, I think some people won't accept rehabilitation.
It's a failure of the legal system to not legalize prostitution
Well, prostitution is legal in some counties in Nevada so apparently the legal system is not a failure. And where "we the people" don't want prostitution, it's illegal.
It's a failure of the economy to not provide a job that pays the same as his $500/night life of crime.
But there are jobs that provide that kind of income, and more. It's just that it may require you to expend some effort (i.e. get an education) to land one.
The way I see it, all people are societies responsibility.
..and thus, your health is everyones business.
Smoker? Outlawed.
Fatty foods? Outlawed.
Skinny Models? Outlawed....
The thing is that you will never see the end of the push for these laws because some people truly believe that individuals are societies responsibility. They only want to help. They are believers. You can't deter believers. Its for your own good.
The way I see it, all people are societies responsibility.
You can't assume responsibility without CONTROL. Do we really want big brother/government/whatever controlling us?
Some control (i.e. you will drive in the correct lane) is necessary for the safety of all. Control like "you can't be thin and be a model" is just ridiculous.

(no fair going back to medieval times before the modern scientific method was developed)
Can you jump the ditch. But wait, to be fair I'll have to chain you to the ground?
What makes you think I didn't, jerkoff?
Man, that's a powerful comma there.
Thanks for the movie link.
If a mod point falls in the forrest, does anyone get karma?
Roundcube is good as well as Hastymail.
That I have to call that out makes me want to (not talk to) you all.
So you don't want to talke to me? Oh, wait... you just replied.
Seriously though, I took the sarcasm to be about the Hubble constant and not both statements. Either way, by now, your point has been well made.

Exactly
I don't FB but if I did my wall would look like:
I clipped my toenails last night.
Had a really good bowel movement about an hour ago.
I have an exciting life, I do.
Tung in cheek: Move to Silverlight.
After Firefox upgraded itself to version 11, Netflix (watch instantly) just does to the system requirements page. Why is that? (Windows XP SP2 64-bit)
Netflix in Chrome has always gone to the system requirements page. My version of IE8 is 64-bit which Silverlight DOES NOT SUPPORT.
Netflix support is clueless and wants to push me off to Microsoft support.

Be careful melting down the gasoline.
It's a troll story. Cue the hot debate in 3.. 2.. 1..
Taking away the intellectuals would just make them happy.
If that would mean you weren't here, then yah. But then it wouldn't.
We've got people who do nothing but sit around watching television all day to count the number of things they find offensive and submit a complaint.
Doesn't take all day. It only takes a few minutes with cable:
Jerry Springer
Maury Povich
Biggest Loser
I'll leave it up to you to expand the list since I don't watch much TV.

It doesn't work that way.

Why not send prototachyons through the main deflector array?
Because it interferes with the tachyon beam, silly.
All in all, I'd say that googling myself works much better than binging myself.
Mom said that will make you go blind.
You forgot Silverlight (listen up Netflix) which doesn't run in 64-bit IE.
How did you manage to get _ working in DNS?
I don't like straying from standards, but for bind:
check-names master ignore;
check-names slave ignore;
check-names response ignore;
Here's what I do: if it's a web server, start the name with a "W". MySQL server, start the name with an "M" and so on.
This falls apart if the machine is both a web server and a MySQL server. (and a DNS server, and a DHCP server, etc.)
The way I see it, all people are societies responsibility.
+1 Insightful. I had mod points yesterday. :-(

You can't assume responsibility without CONTROL. Do we really want big brother/government/whatever controlling us?
Some control (i.e. you will drive in the correct lane) is necessary for the safety of all. Control like "you can't be thin and be a model" is just ridiculous.
