  1. Sometimes, i have the feeling that the government is one big, stupid, nasty, bulling, KID.
    Then i wake up, and realize that it is not just a feeling...

  2. Re:Surprised??? on Researchers Beat Google's Bouncer · · Score: 1

    That the researchers exploited some development decisions made by the stupid google's employees. Stupid, because it is pretty easy to avoid them. And why they did these stupid mistakes? I do believe that i did answer to that question.

    With malware i could fight. But with corrupt government i am helpless.

    Running signed apps will help you how from the corrupt government? You remember MS and some "safe" certificates used by some "safe" viruses???

  5. Surprised??? on Researchers Beat Google's Bouncer · · Score: 0

    Lets see what we have:
    1. Inside Google - A bunch of college boys (no girls, as they are not smart enough for google), very, extremely good at solving entry interview quiz and questions, but extremely poor and incompetent at actually doing what they were hired to do, DEVELOPING.
    2. Outside Google - A bunch of software developers, usually old, with a lot of experience, some of them even PhD, and who are actually DEVELOPING a software that google buys, because their bunch is so incompetent...
    So to sumarize it:
    SURPRISE. The guys outside always outwit the boys inside.

    Where is this slap applied to? Back of the neck, or the bottom....or the left chin, like in the "Rock'N'Rolla" movie..

  7. Change password? on Face To Face With the 'Human Barcode' · · Score: 1

    I just wonder, how one is supposed to change his password? Or if you become sick, would you be still a valid password? Or if your left leg is cut, are you going to be cut from your banking account too?

    Actually, it is the opposite. You could be 100% sure that you DID hire the before mentioned idiot.

  9. Re:How many... on Feds Ban 'Buckyballs' Magnets · · Score: 0

    Actually no, they don't like to swallow any funny toys. The real problem is that these kids are FORCED by their parents to eat anything and everything, even if it looks poisonous, disgusting and stinks like hell. After such a treatment, the little colorful and funny toy would look like a kinder surprise to them :D

  10. Re:Seriously on Feds Ban 'Buckyballs' Magnets · · Score: 3, Informative

    It is not the balls, nor the kids. Even if you swallow some balls, but not at once, you will need to go to the surgery. The problem as i see it, is stupid grown people buying bucky balls and giving them to their kids, who, SURPRISE, swallow them.

  11. Noo, dont touch my balls... on Feds Ban 'Buckyballs' Magnets · · Score: 1

    But, but, is this ban valid for Canada too?
    If not, you, people, know what to do, just like the black people some 100years ago.

  13. Re:What about ENTER interview? on Being Honest In Exit Interviews Is Pointless · · Score: 1

    There was one case about some woman, who was fired because got pregnant, even if she agreed in her contract that she would not do it. But, the judge was a human being and said that in such a cases, the employee has the right to LIE.
    So to go back to our problem, when the HR asks you anything illegal or private, i do have the right to LIE, and actually i feel very bad if i don't. Oh, and just for the record, the only thing that the HR has the right to ask you is whether you worked for these companies mentioned in your resume, for how long, and....that's all. Anything else is too personal. Period.

    Let be honest, you must lie at EVERY interview. Exit, Enter, Middle, Top, Bottom, Pointless, etc interview. You may NOT tell the truth. You MUST lie like...like politician. At the end of the day, all the HR do believe that you LIE. So why disappoint them?

  17. Re:Common sense on Finding Fault With Anti-Fracking Science Claims · · Score: 2

    If i have to tell it in business terms, if you want to get 1 dollar, you have to ask for 10 dollars. The same is with the fracking. If you want to stop it in 50% of the cases, then you have to try to stop it in 100% of the cases. As simple as that.

    And i am not. The matter of fact is that in these kind of countries, like China, the cost of living is always MORE than the income. ALWAYS. You may ask then, how they manage to live with negative income??? And i happen to know the answer, and obviously, you don't.

Except if you have a small army with you. With machine guns. And tank. And i am not joking about the tank.
