  1. Advertising these days... on Toyota Claims Woman "Opted In" To Faux Email Stalking · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Advertising gets weirder and weirder. I don't understand how this is supposed to get someone to buy a car. The only thing I could think of is she didn't had a car so maybe she's supposed to buy a Toyota so she can get the hell away? I think it's lost on me.

  2. They're the same on Should I Publish Or Patent? · · Score: 1

    When you put them into the formula, you reach profit equally as fast.

    Step 1: Patent

    Step 2: ???

    Step 3: Profit

    OR

    Step 1: Publish

    Step 2: ???

    Step 3: Profit

    See? They're the same.

  3. Re:Contribution to society? on Device Protects Day Traders From Emotional Trading · · Score: 1

    It's legal and you can make money doing it. There are scammers, grifters, schemers, and thieves out there too, so I would say day traders have more worth than that. Day trading is just another way to support yourself or your family by using your talents. Casinos do pretty much the same thing except they lower your odds in exchange for entertainment and booze. At least with day trading, you contribute to a real economy. Heck, even WoW probably has people that daytrade within that economy and then sell their in game profit for real money.

  4. Another market on Device Protects Day Traders From Emotional Trading · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This sounds like it could be equally as useful to an online poker player (I know many). All it would take is some marketing to the poker community.

  5. Re:Do we need the anti-smoking jab on A Geek Funeral · · Score: 1

    Your tax dollars already go to bridges you'll never use, abortions that religious/moral people want nobody to have, jailing people for being in possession of a marijuana joint, fighting wars that some people agree with but others don't, keeping alive corporations who have become inefficient and uncompetitive, supporting litigation against file sharing, and giving money that you'll never see again to the elderly. You'll never seem a dime of what you pay towards any of these things, so the best thing you can actually do is light up and dip into some of that money when you develop your own health problems.
