Nevermind, let me tell myself to go RTFA. They are ONLY interested in high functioning autistics (like Grandin) who they say are boring. You are correct, we are pidgin holing people who are not all alike.
am happy with 25,000+ programs available in Debian repository, I never install random package from the Internet.
I'm a Linux zealot. And I am not happy with just the 25,000+ programs available in the Debian repository, so I do install random packages from the internet! And my girlfriend? A Linux convert, but unfamiliar with it and until recently unacquainted with apt-get and used to (try to) install two or three third party programs before I found and installed the repository mimic.
Just say'en: the straw Linux zealot he discusses exists.
From article: A Moscow news outlet quoted the Russian Navy as denying any rocket launches from the White Sea area.
Now can we get past all these boring Occam's razor mandated responses about it looking exactly like a rocket spiraling out of control and get back to the excitement of preparing for an alien invasion?

I propose they need to listen to their recorded calls over and over exactly the same number of minutes their robo-callers spent calling people.
AAARGH they waste so much of my time, fax ink, electricity, text messages at 25cents a piece, with absolutely no thought or effort spent on their part, and returning the annoyance would just waste more of my time. At least pan handlers and muggers give you the courtesy to expend some effort getting money out of you.
Does this mean that 5% of the links are actual legitimate opportunities for me to work at home and earn thousands of dollars a week in my spare time?
That seems to be the implied headline: "You can now feel safe to click on our advertisements! We've removed the illegitimate ones!" Of course, not really. Scammers make tons of money from those advertisements and will always have plenty of money and schemes to get more adds.
Probably nothing. Or if it did, he probably pleaded ignorance while his "company" fled the country before the feds could search their way up the chain of command.
3pounds/20minutes? Thats like 3times US minimum wage and you got it for unskilled labor. Its more than I made in any of the part time gigs I did through college; how is that hardly enough to live on?
I can't think of a situation where I would randomly talk about sex with anyone I don't know.
That's great for you, but doesn't fit me. I like to talk about sex with people on the internet, because of this I know there are many people who like to do the same. Just because you don't do something, doesn't mean other people shouldn't be doing it.
P.S. Of course I constrain this to boards where age has supposedly been pre-verified, but you never know what might be construed as inappropriate or suggestive in other places.
they are entitled to compensation for their time and expenses...
Sweet!
Cop: License and registration please?
Me: Officer, the glove box is so far away, I'll need to be compensated least $20 to open it and $10 to pull the documents out.
Cop: >:^(
Me: Thats only $30, like you compensate yahoo.
Cop: Oh now I remember; here's your $30!
Those who complain about it seem to be taking a distinctly "think of the poor little guy who's getting beaten down" attitude
Well, yeah. Most of us are the little guy, not a mega corporation. We are going to complain about it when we get the beat down.
nobody is going to die if they can't log on to some gaming network.
Correct, no EUL that I have bothered to read has caused my death, but it doesn't mean that I can't be annoyed by the fact that I'm expected to read hundreds (literally quite often) of pages of legalese to use the most mundane shareware or receive any service from just about any company. If you don't like the EUL then use a competitor you say? So now I have to compare several hundred pages of legalese and figure out which one reams me in the least painful way.
I for one am delighted that so much attention is being thrown on these obnoxious documents, maybe something will get done, because I am sick of new $1 charges appearing on my phone bill to be informed that if I had had my lawyer read page 35 of the online document referenced from one of the unannounced amendments on my phone contract I would know I was agreeing to it. There is just no escape from EULs if you want to live in the modern age and they are far too cumbersome for your average person to deal with.
Not sure why parent got modded down, but then I did not understand half his post either.
I agree with his main point though, which is that the search itself is enough to get you blacklisted with jobs and avoided by neighbors, besides the general annoyance of it (I couldn't take it if my computer was confiscated, happened to a guy I know along with all his local data backups). Also considering that, at least in my town, it seems whenever the cops raid someones place, they commit unnecessary destruction such as destroying doors and furniture/electric equipment or what have you that might contain drugs. Then they tend confiscate jewelry and such without putting it on the record (and assumably pawning it for personal gain).
We had a story here about two weeks ago (I'm too new to figure out how to re-find it) about a guy losing his job and having months of prosecution after contracting malware that downloaded chi1d pr0n on his computer. I have had similar malware (but was never searched). I'm also, for the first time in 3 years, living with a room mate that does not smoke marijuana (I think). I'm glad I was never searched during that time! Given that the last tennet at my place left various items including cigarettes laying around when he left, I still can't be sure there are no drugs stuffed behind light switches. I know I have CDs packed with malware laying around somewhere from when I TAed a network security class and have made illegal modifications to my car. What else might I have around and not know about? So I also agree with GP, laws are numerous and my offenses are often even unknown to me, the 4th ammendment seems to be the only thing keeping me safe.
My facebook/myspace messages and areas I mark as viewable only by friends/me, are not public. No one except people with some sort of access to the servers where the data is stored can view it. Basically I disagree with you, those areas are not public and should only be available by subpoena, just like my email.
The most chronic viruses for Windows and Mac have always been trojans and mal-ware. Usually self executing and sent over email. A few years ago back in college there was a huge infestation of that trojan that looked like spam and you had to decrypt it before you could run it. As a computer science major, people would ask me to help them infect their pcs with it until I explained to them that doing that was bad.
I know several people who can barely use computers who got sold on the "Linux is the most awesome operating system ever!" before considering their own needs might differ from the people saying that. Sure its nice to (try to) explain to them that they don't need to block port 135 or patch for worms before plugging into the internet and personally I feel they are more secure, but I could easily see them downloading something like this item in the article in an email, and then running a bunch of shell commands from the email, before calling me to install the urgent Redhatpatch they just received from President Obama himself on their Ubuntu system.
Pirates are lazy cowards; they're in it for the money. Make it not only unprofitable but also NASTY dangerous, and they'll find other lines of work.
No, they won't. The people there in Somalia treat the pirates better than we in the U.S. treat our soldiers. The pirates are seen as heroes who _do_ risk nasty dangerousness to provide better for their families and communities by Robin-Hooding from infinite pockets of rich, evil empires destroying their seas. They'll keep pirating no matter how nasty it gets, it just makes the profession more look heroic.
Err, the massive propellers that most cargo ships use make trying to foul one useless?
Right, but pirates aren't on cargo ships, they are on speedboats.
RPG's are probably more plentiful than golf balls in that part of the world
One of the protections the pirates use is that you are not allowed RPG any speedboat or fishing vessel just because it looks like it's following you, while there aren't any restrictions on dropping ropes in front of them.
Well, can we ban those? Maybe you can be allowed to transport them to and from a licensed, safe dojo, but otherwise I'd rather not have people carrying these while my kids are out there.
No, there's no inflection or tone to hear in order to detect sarcasm.
No, it's the crazy.
I use so much sarcasm with my friends that on many occasions I meet people telling me that evolutionists are satanists or other such, to me, preposterous nonsense, I assume sarcasm, possibly agree sarcastically, until we hit this awkward point in the conversation where I have to say something like: "Holy shit; your serious?"
I always seem to be the only one who thinks breeding humans like dogs would be awesome. Sure we would cause defects in the purebreds, but think about the variation in dog breeds while we design all of our chairs to fit someone of 165cm. Why not have giants to do construction and security services? Dwarves, who are tiny by current dwarf standards as we have been selectively breeding them for awhile, who run wires and consume less resources on space missions. Humans breed to handle the pressure of deep sea exploration can probe deeper than ever before. Impossible beauty standards are a thing of the past, because nobody looks anything like each other anymore.
I don't think I want to see the political climate that causes this, but instead of making the PC required "breeding humans is wrong because of analogies to other things that are wrong" have some imagination.
Yeah, screw people stupid enough to use windows. They deserve to have their information stolen. That's why I only use Linux, so no one can get my personal information from my computer. You know, the information that I use to do my online banking where my bank uses...Oh shit.
Really, your personal information is everywhere passed around through many companies (and governments), and many of them use windows to access it.

Actually we do this for free, thanks.
Or the deservingly unintelligent have unfairly been claiming retardation.
Nevermind, let me tell myself to go RTFA. They are ONLY interested in high functioning autistics (like Grandin) who they say are boring. You are correct, we are pidgin holing people who are not all alike.
Can we make the distinction between high functioning and low functioning autism? Temple Grandin has high functioning autism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-functioning_autism
Some people have to tell you they are autistic before you know, while others, as it seems this company is hiring, have more pronounced autism..

If they regulate weapons by banning them, how are you going to blow their heads off?
With _really_ seditious speech. You can regulate it, but you can't find my stockpiles until POW! I blow someones head off.
Well, can we ban those? Maybe you can be allowed to transport them to and from a licensed, safe dojo, but otherwise I'd rather not have people carrying these while my kids are out there.
