    In this case, "Who's your daddy?" does not in fact indicate any kind of father-daughter relationship. It's used to elicit an admission of submission, "You're my daddy" which simply means "You are dominating me (and I like it)" The 'daddy' is the top, the dominant person, the one controlling the experience.

    As self-appointed resident expert in kinky sex, maybe you can explain this to me: how exactly does this not have extremely creepy overtones of incest?

    It does. That's part of the kink. But a small part. I mean, what else are you going to say, "Who's your boss?" "Who's your top?" "Who's your master?" That last one might work, but somehow, it hasn't caught on.

    Oh, and isn't it funny how easy it was to get you to admit who you are? You had a reason for posting AC in the first place, but now an account is irrevocably tied to those AC comments, just like I wanted.

    Well, I COULD just claim you were a Dave sock puppet, but you're probably not. Just another moronic 'Merka is always right' type. So, now that you've admitted who you are, maybe you could explain what, exactly is wrong with my theory? It isn't anti-scientific like ID, because it can be proved or disproved. I say the US has the motive. Oil trade shifting away from the dollar would decimate the economy. Do you refute that? I say we have the means, everyone knows we have subs configured to do this job. And we had the opportunity. So, care to try to refute any of the actual points instead of engaging in petty, childish name calling and psycho-babble?

    This is so fun. As I pointed out, only Dave would know that Dave doesn't post AC, but you claimed to know he doesn't. Furthermore, only Dave would care that someone had figured out he was posting AC. Why don't you post from your real account and prove me wrong? Oh, because you can't. Because you're Dave, who posts AC all the time so he can engage in small minded, bitter retribution against those who would dare question him, without losing his supposed reputation as a cool, rational thinker.

    Oh, and I just thought I'd point out the irony here:

    "Just like an ID'er, assume you know something is true when it isn't."
    "Dave is many things, but he doesn't post AC to support himself."

    How would anyone but Dave know that? Damn, you aren't very smart, are you Dave? How did you ever get into spook school?

The Iranian Internet did not have to be disrupted in any meaningful way for this message to be sent.

    Iran professes not to believe this because they don't want people to believe it. They want people using the Bourse.

    Look, I'll be honest, I'm not claiming this is a known fact or anything. I'm saying, it's a more plausible explanation than that 5 regional cables were cut within weeks of each other. If you can find even ONE incident where that many cables were cut that close to each other in that short a time span, I'll retract my supposition. Just ONE SINGLE OTHER TIME that five cables all going to the same place were cut within a month of each other. You say it happens all the time, show us.

    The cable cuts weren't meant to disrupt communications completely, they were to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt among potential non-dollar oil investors. Simple, logical explanation. Now, I ask you all, why might someone in the intelligence business want us to believe that the cable cuts were mere coincidence?

    Well, I should know Slashdotters aren't familiar with sexual terms. In this case, "Who's your daddy?" does not in fact indicate any kind of father-daughter relationship. It's used to elicit an admission of submission, "You're my daddy" which simply means "You are dominating me (and I like it)" The 'daddy' is the top, the dominant person, the one controlling the experience. This is often followed by light verbal humiliation, spankings, pretend choking, rough oral sex, things like that. I know you may never get a chance to try these things out in real life, but perhaps this will help explain some of the confusing and frightening images you've seen whilst masturbating to porn.

    Well, that's not the problem. Because Mr. Pareto clearly does not say that. Poisoning the kids makes them worse off, so that's not a Pareto improvement. The problem is, it's also not a Pareto improvement to take Mr. CEOs yacht and use the proceeds to feed the kids. According to Pareto, if the kids are starving, it's not a good thing that anyone else should have to go without a yacht, or some coke and hookers, or whatever, in order for the kids to live. The Pareto efficiency concept is of no use in addressing the inherent imbalances and downright unfairness of our current resource allocation scheme.

    While all very good points, how does they relate to Pareto efficiency? I thought a Pareto improvement was when you could reallocate things so at least one person was better off without anyone else being worse off. And Pareto optimality is when you can't make any more Pareto improvements. Maybe you're saying companies continue to make their customers better off only until that would mean they make themselves worse off?
