  1. After all, you also say that a hooker gives good head, you don't say she gives head well, that's ... just wrong.

  2. No problem there.

    But don't you DARE hiring the 50 white men only!

  3. Shoulders of giants and all that. If the Arabs didn't have the brains to actually protect the Greek findings when we descended into religious bullshittery where we condemned it all as the work of heathens, we'd still be a few hundred years back and busy rebuilding.

    Yes, it's kinda odd that they're now the religious loonies. One has to wonder where they learned that. Maybe the crusades were more of an export success than we ever dreamed they'd be.

  4. If you can get that accomplished before the month is out, we could have another Lehman Brothers as a Christmas gift.

  5. Before or after being beaten up?

    (sorry, but ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer)

  6. What's wrong about it? It's a true statement.

  7. No, but statistically it's quite likely that a random Asian is Chinese.

    Both sides already "know" they're right, and no argument whatsoever could change that. Why bother continuing?

    The truth is, nobody gives a shit. Those that could change it won't, and those that know how to cannot. So why bother trying?

    I have no kids. I am old enough that it won't hit me anymore. I don't give a shit anymore. Why bother fighting for moron who don't want to survive?

    This isn't a popularity contest. OK... it is. but it shouldn't be. It should be a matter of reality, not the land of dreams and make believe.

  16. I'm not so sure you'll find very willing test subjects. When you have acute kidney stones, you're in PAIN. You can't move, you can't sit, you sure as hell can't stand and you even MORE certainly do not enjoy being vibrated heavily.

    G-forces are higher in the back of the train, at least for the downhill parts. While the front goes over apex points at a slow speed, the train is already picking up speed downhill when you arrive at this point with the back of the train. Of course the train, in total, goes at the same speed, but what matters is what point you're sitting at when it has a certain speed.

    Being in the club myself, I guess the idea is to go on a roller coaster ride BEFORE it clogs something and hence starts to hurt.

    And for those that don't know the wonderful feelings of kidney stones that wedged themselves into some tender parts of yours, we're not talking about huge boulders. Something the size of a grain of salt can well become your personal nightmare.

    It's a bit more complicated than that. There's behaviour analysis, pattern analysis ... ok, in the end, it's "bad code". But the analysis does end at known code, it is quite possible to flag code as suspicious that you have not analysed before. There has been a lot of development in the past years, and the detection gets better. It's still too prone to false positives to be part of a scanner, but it is already a very valuable analysis tool.
