    Since you exist in 2006, can you warn us about the housing crisis and ISIS?

    The rest of the stuff he spews is batshit crazy, tho.

    I never thought I would say this, but, Gay Boner Sex has an interesting idea here.

    CDNs tend not to serve ads, so they are usually safe to let through. Any that start serving ads start getting blocked.

    Actually I had been expecting ads to start getting served from the primary site's domain since that would make them hard to block. For 10 years now, and it still hasn't become a popular thing.

    Companies are happy to give employees more hours.

    They are just not willing to give more pay.

    Block all ads, all 3rd party scripts. All the time, with no exceptions.

    If the site won't load without ads and 3rd party scripts enabled, then you don't need to see that content.

    Fuck. You made me click his website, now I am blind and have cancer.

  8. Not here; they are unmarked white vans, I am not even sure they have a commercial transport sticker decal on them, though I could be wrong about that. The operators wear no uniforms.

    Though I actually don't know they are contractors, I am guessing since the whole operation seems to be fly-by-night. Maybe different regions operate differently.

  9. Anyone can talk to animals. Now getting them to talk back, and understanding them... that is the tough part.

    Bullshit.

    My Dr gave me a referral to a physical therapist that actually helped correct the problem.

    Next you are going to tell us the magic crystals and diterary bullshit that chiropractors deal in works too, right?

    And yet a real physical therapist gets better results with less visits for a lower cost (when you factor in the fact they can actually fix problems.)

  12. "drinking water at your normal desire" is the definition of well hydrated.

    Drinking shit that isn't water fucks this up, however.

  13. Most of the first season of TNG was recycled scripts from TOS or abandoned scripts from the cancelled TOS Phase 2. And most of the first season of TNG was kind of bad.

    I realize that both the public and executives have no tolerance for a slow start, and writing has greatly improved over the years... but it is what it is.

  14. "getting to know your carriers" What is this the 1950s? Or do you live in a small down where there is only one Amazon delivery person.

    Amazon contacts random people in large cities. It will be delivered by a random person from an entirely unmarked van. Unless you order often, chances are good you will never see the same person twice.

  15. Now that Amazon is contracting it's own delivery to shave costs, serviced has gone straight to shit.

    Random delivery notification, inability to follow some directions like "leave on covered porch not out in the rain by mailbox you fucktard." Items randomly disappearing.

    Delivery notifications are entirely useless. I'll get notified of a delivery then have the item show up 5 hours later. I assume it's so they can report to Amazon that it was delivered on time.

    Amazon has root certificates, they might just spoof it.

    I would think this would be illegal and grounds for revoking the cert, but I suppose they can just throw enough money at... wait who gives out the root certs, anyhow? The browser makers?

  18. sleazy side of Silicon Valley

    As opposed to what? I am pretty sure that describes all of Silicon Valley.

  19. Not quite. They were modifying their own website. not other store's.

    And with Amazon's root certificates, they could do this on top of HTTPS.

    Now that is some evil shit right there.

    But is there some way to detect this? Does Amazon Trust Services allow Amazon to spoof any website in the world?

  21. Yeah, or maybe they are just greedy motherfuckers.

    When you live in a country with no health care system, sometimes people do desperate things.

    Perhaps it is more of a statement on the state of healthcare than the war on drugs.

    From what I understand, the problem is that there is no way to tell the difference between and icbm smartbomb and an nuclear icbm. This could be quite a problem if a nuclear counterattack happens.
