Alien passes: http://bechdeltest.com/view/13... - it's actually the movie specifically called out in the originating comic as passing.
But to answer your broader question, whether an individual movie passes or not isn't/really/ the point of the test. The point is to look at patterns in movies as a whole - that "passing the Bechdel test" is not a given, despite how minimal the requirements actually are. There really are very few movies that don't pass the "reverse Bechdel test" - it's something like 90% of movies that have at least two dudes who talk about things that aren't women.
You just unintentionally illustrated the entire point of the Bechdel test - how many team software projects pass your version of the test? Nearly all of them, right? The bechdel "test" is meant to illustrate how low the bar is, and how many movies/projects still fail it.
"Tracking the culprits behind the pranks is difficult."
Ummmmm, why?
While bomb scares and other hoaxes have been around for decades, making threats anonymously has never been so easy. Swatters use text messages and online phone services like Skype to relay their threats, employing techniques to make themselves hard to trace.
Whether you view the fines as a deterrent or a punishment, it makes sense that under a flat-fine structure, rich people will be unaffected by fines that are crippling for poor people to pay.
If a class of people can simply ignore the penalties doled out for breaking a law, that system needs reworking.
There are probably some devils lurking in the details (some very rich people have little income; is spending money a good proxy, some people live just within their means and others save quite a bit, etc etc), but the basic idea seems very sound.
Parent was a self-pitying white person who's upset that they have to wear a suit and have a dumb haircut in order to be taken seriously at their cushy well-paying job (because, honestly, who else wears a suit?). Also, some ladies wear fake tans because being as white as a ghost isn't the most attractive thing ever. I mean it's because of anti-white racism I guess??
The rest of their "fairly cogent counter-rant" was "but not ALL whites," "*I* never lynched a black person, therefore racism don't real," and "Black people are just primitive but I'm not racist for saying that."
Like. That's pretty dang racist, and they aren't gonna magically flip their worldview by talking to me on Slashdot. They don't deserve anything better than a smug look and a snarky comment.
As another queer trans white person - you're totally and completely wrong.
I'm not sure how you think that your anecdotal experience with lack of discrimination for being queer invalidates centuries of racism and oppression, but you need to stay in your lane. Don't talk about shit you don't know about - you're an embarrassment.
Sure we can brute-force it, we'll just spit out a whole bunch of random machine code, and check each set to see if it solves the boolean satisfiability problem, and then see if it solves it in polynomial time. This approach just depends on P == NP being true in order to work.:)
Ah yes, the ever popular nebulous description of "I need to do things."
From your other posts we can see that that means "watch Youtube in fullscreen," which, I admit, is not something that I can do in my inferior infantile browser.

You don't use version control?
That'd be rad.
I haven't seen them, but both Sex and the City & Sex and the City 2 pass the Bechdel test - one commenter indicates that the first one does not pass the reverse-Bechdel test:

Maybe you should fix your team, then.
No wonder dudes refuse to see sexism, if they refuse to even look for it.
Well, you know, as a woman sometimes it's nice to get a character that cares about something besides swooning for the male lead.
Again, the test only requires a singular conversation that's not about men. They can talk about men for the other 90% of the movie if they want.
The room passes, they talk about Claudette's breast cancer.
It's not about "not talking about men/women at all," it's "having at least one conversation that isn't about men."
The point of the test is to say "are there women who exist outside of props for the men?"
How many movies fail the dude bechdel test? How many fail the regular one?

Wash your hands, please.
Assuming that your human reactions allow you to make that decision in the few seconds before you collide with the obstacle ahead of you, of course.
And what if you increase the speed limit to c? Suddenly everyone will be violating Einstein's corpse?!

Looks good.

"Woe is me, I, a white man, have to wear a suit and have a dumb haircut."
Clearly it is white people who are the real victims here.

Exactly, I like a browser that gets outta the way and lets me browse the web. If even an infant can grok your UI, you did a pretty dang good job.
You know Mono exists, right?
You might want to see a doctor about that.
