I do sometimes need people to tell me if my dress makes me look fat, but I think that is a different story entirely.
That's easy enough. Are you fat? If not, you won't look fat in the dress. If so, you will look fat in the dress. Simple. Believe me, if you are an attractive woman, even a burka won't prevent men from noticing. Likewise if you are a fatty, wearing stripes or dark clothes or platform shoes isn't going to fool anyone though your girlfriends might think it's cute that you try. Besides, if you really are overweight, isn't it better to take control of your health than to cover up the results of your failure to do so?
"Do I look fat in this dress" is really just a shallow attempt to validate your self-esteem. Secure people have no need for this. By going along with this, a man is sending you the message that how you feel about yourself should come from other people. No one would encourage you to depend on them for something so important unless he wanted to have control over you. If a man really cares about you, he'll encourage you to find that kind of security within yourself instead.
The real problem here is a pretty terrible one. Almost no women are ever really loved by a man. This is the failure of most men, and fully explains why so many women are superficial manipulative bitches who are full of drama and/or need to be the center of attention at all times. They are lusted after, needed, worshipped, pursued, related to, used, or taken for granted, but few are ever really loved. It's hard to appreciate that until you realize that sufficiently advanced lust combined with mutual need can look a lot like real love to the majority of the population who don't know any better. Many marriages are built on that lust-need duo. Coincidentally, many marriages fail.

Err, I was just joking around. Can we make out now? I understand that your completely pedantic reply was probably the result of years and years of repressed angst and rage, but I still think it's the dress that makes me look fat. I do however appreciate your attempt to be honest.
And, I don't really care, so long as the linked article is interesting and informative, and I doubt I'm alone.
Yes, ever since I was old enough to make up my own mind all I need is a link to the source and I'm golden. I do sometimes need people to tell me if my dress makes me look fat, but I think that is a different story entirely.
It feels really wrong to laugh at this, but I'm not sure I can help it. Yes I know, I'm going to hell... but at least two other assholes are coming with me:)

Actually what really happened is this... Every year Calgary holds "The Calgary Exhibition and Stampede" (it's the GREATEST OUTDOOR SHOW ON EARTH GUYS! All the marketing tells me so!). Millions of people visit the city, and things get out of hand real fast, drunk tourists, cows escaping and roaming the streets, hay bales tripping innocent victims, etc etc. The city implemented a new safety procedure this year whereby all children, seniors and animals are to be trained in self defense in case of riots and/or looting. You never can take chances when it comes to protecting the weak and vulnerable.
You don't want to mess with us cowboys/girls.
And since you have such strict gun control laws, there's almost no chance of someone you assault actually being able to defend themselves, so you don't risk anything by assaulting someone, and have pretty much everything to gain if you pick your targets right. Isn't gun control great?
Actually, we take great care to ensure that our criminals are well armed. It is those creepy law abiding citizens that we don't want strapped (see ranting poster above).
That being said, I am a qualified marksman (markswoman?) and a Canadian! Figure that out.
I'm pretty sure that much more than 1 million citizens of the US died in the last 2 centuries.
I'm also sure that it is beside the point. You see, Memorial Day in Canada is in November, and there are probably a lot of countries that do not celebrate the death of their soldiers.
Towel Day it is.
In Canada we do not have Memorial Day. We have Remembrance Day. Thank you, that is all.
No offense, seriously... but we aren't all American. Where I live it is just another regular towel carrying day. You do however, make a legitimate point.
I call shenanigans (or bad reporting) on this story. There were no 1TB hard drives 9 years ago (except maybe in HD manufacturers labs). You might have had an external array, but not a drive. I don't remember for sure, but I'd say a single hard drive was max ~250GB in 2000?
I call shenanigans on your reply. The data was from the Clinton administration. Now I am nowhere near the geek/nerd/intellectual that most/.ers are, but maybe, just maybe, the data was transferred onto the device at some point?
From an article on the same website as the original linked story (http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=913335("Missing drive had no original Clinton records, says National Archives"): "According to the statement released this afternoon, the 2-TB drive was being used for "routine re-copying" as part of a records preservation process. The small 2.5-pound Western Digital MY Book external hard drive contained information from about 113, 4mm tape cartridges and weighs about 2.5 pounds. The tapes contained "snapshots" of the contents of hard drives of employees leaving from the Executive Offices of the President and contained both federal and Presidential records."
Being a woman, and someone who works in marketing, I would like to chime in if I may.
I like techy-geeky stuff. I like to know that when I buy something, I'm not going to show my male co-workers and have them laugh at me because I have the dumbed down female version. However, I also like pink sparkly shit, and I probably would have had a half assed interest in what Della was marketing if it hadn't been over the top stereotypical. It made me *feel* like the stereotypical "tee hee hee" girl that everyone laughs at. You know... OMG my laptop has a Dolce & Gabbana logo. Who cares that it has no optical drive... ITS PINK and I can track how many calories I eat before I binge and purge!"
I also understand though that everyone has different tastes, so meh, I will just go to the regular Dell website because I don't find the Della site appealing at all.
Regardless, if the target group you are marketing your product for thinks that your attempt at wooing them was ridiculous, as 'right' or 'wrong' as your attempt may have been, you have failed.
Yeah, but in that case you're in a class specifically to learn IT security.
These aren't people training to be soldiers, or police officers, or part of any kind of security force. This is a high school history class. What, exactly, did this teacher think she was teaching her history students?
In my health class in high school we learned how to put condoms to avoid the risk of getting STDs. They weren't training us to be prostitutes or young unwed mothers. They were preparing us for life. Perhaps this teacher actually cared about making sure her students had the critical thinking skills to know what to do in case they ever found themselves in a situation similar to 9-11 or whatnot. Perhaps the kid who ran home and had "two minutes to come up with a plot for an act of terrorism" didn't explain the assignment properly to her mother.
It is a shame this teacher isn't allowed to teach her students to think outside the box and to see the bigger picture. Perhaps we should have a "Common Sense 101" that kids have to pass in order to graduate.
When I try to pronounce A(H1N1), it comes out like "a heinie"
This makes it less unclean how??
One of the radio stations here is already calling it the heinie (sp?) flu. It gave me a few giggles, and then a large fear of being stuck on a toilet for weeks on end if I was infected. At that point my giggles ceased.
It's quite obvious you never died. It's also obvious you can't write English* very well. I hope it's not your mother tongue.
*Fixed
Oh good call Mr Coward. I learned to speak in English, but I learned to write in French.
I'm not that bad at writing in English, I am however terrible at proofing what I write. I also like long walks on the beach, tea parties, reading anonymous troll comments, and sing-alongs around the camp fire. Wanna make out now?
Until you lose your wallet and the person who finds it has complete control to ruin every aspect of your life connected to said card......
Yes, because clearly they would have no system to revoke lost cards.
Clearly your world is black and white. Have you never heard of someone who was the victim of identity theft? Maybe someone should have let them know that if your wallet is stolen you can call and cancel cards and what not. I bet they never ever thought of that. Because since it is clearly common sense, they never would have encountered problems if they dealt with it as efficiently as you would have.
If it travels through china and south america, we'll all be better off. If it hits the islamic countries, and kills a bunch, I'll start believing in god.
I'm sorry, did I miss the change in tagline?
"Slashdot: News for racists. Life for whites who matter"?
Just when the fuck did this become acceptable as long as it's -1 troll?
Sorry, I've been away a while, it's a bit of a shock.
I am soooo cashing in on this! I have hair down to my ass, so lets just say my shower gets clogged frequently. How much do you think they buy it for? I've never died/permed/etc...
You would just need one card in your wallet to log you in to any computer or web site, make purchases, board planes or trains... anything! No more wasted effort on having a hundred weak authentication cards and passwords. You have one strong authentication method that can't be forged, or at least not without fantastically more effort than forging a check or credit card.
Enormous economic and security benefit.
Until you lose your wallet and the person who finds it has complete control to ruin every aspect of your life connected to said card......
If the "owner" or "user" of the computer is tricked, bribed or forced to install such malware, what computer is there that will protect itself?
Sorry, but if you have untrained and inexperenced people doing administration on computers, you are going to have problems. No matter what the computer operating system is, if the "administrator" installs malware on it and follows whatever procedures are required to install the software, it is compromised. Period.]
Linux, MVS, VM, Windows, Solaris, OS X, whatever. It doesn't matter. The only thing that has any chance of helping is to get the administration power out of the hands of inexperienced and untrained people. Give them "appliances" that cannot be subverted because nothing can be installed on them.
When was the last time you had to update the anti-virus software on an iPod? How about having to reboot your refrigerator because it locked up?
If all people need is web browsing and email, they need something that will do that and nothing else. No possibility of viruses, worms, trojans or whatever else. Just something that gets the job done without the possibility of anything bad happening.
I agree with most of your reply, but your analogies seem a little flawed. My refrigerator doesn't call my friend's refrigerator in Sweden and show pictures of his latest backpacking adventure, nor does my iPod go on msn so (s)he can talk with his/her girlfriend on the web cam.
I have already stopped crossing the street to avoid getting hit by a car, I change my underwear on a daily basis *just in case* it does happen and the paramedics have to take my clothes off, and I also have recently begun not even talking to or going near anyone who has ever been to, or flown over, Mexico. Who knows who has the swine flu that is going around.
Why do you even have a fridge? You don't *need* one. All you really have to do is buy non-perishable items. There are hundreds of things people don't *need* but will continue to use anyway. Telling them they shouldn't have it doesn't fix the problem at all. People *are* going to keep using all the thousands upon thousands of features their computers have, and they *aren't* going to get any smarter about it. That's just reality.
And *forced* to download malware? When was the last time you heard of a cyber thug holding a gun to someone's head, demanding they install their program, or else!?
I would just like to say that I read Slashdot at work, and in the future I would appreciate if you people could stop posting comments that cause me to giggle uncontrollably and thus urinate in my cubicle. It has become a great concern to my boss, as I am unable to explain the real reason behind my lack of bladder control.
Thanks in advance.
That's not a fair statement really. What about the athletes who use steroids or what not to become better than they can on their own? Is that not an obsessive behavior? And saying MMORPG addicts are a dime a dozen is a gross over-generalization. I'm a dorky MMORPG player, and none of my friends have ever pee'ed in bottles or hooked up IVs to their arms so they wouldn't have to leave the computer.
Then again you may be on to something. People who have an addictive/obsessive personality wouldn't have latched on to something else if it weren't for the video games. They would have all grown up to become scientists curing cancer and world hunger. Ban all the video games now!
