I performed a pretty sophisticated analysis of the MBTI for my undergrad thesis nearly 20 years ago, including a question-by-question analysis, as well as administrating to damned near everyone I knew (and a few dozen I didn't).
Since then, I've seen it become the most-abused instrument around. I've even been given it myself a few times. In real life I may be an INTJ, but I know what the various indices mean to prospective employers, and I know how to answer these tests to get any result I want.
They can bet on wind (not sure of the viability of that, but I'm sure at least SOMEWHERE in China there's good wind), but it takes up a lot of area and apparently isn't so good for birds.
Those would be the same birds that they're trying to kill anyway, right? I think we have a winner.
I think most people who use Blackberries are complete and utter asshats.
If they're not top posting, dropping attachments, or bitching because they can't see the website (the one they told to be designed for IE and damn everyone else), they're pounding away on that thing in meetings, giving everyone else half their attention.

Googling a person before hire to learn as much about them as possible is standard practice these days.
My name isn't that rare; I'm not even the one in the top ten when googled. However, I use my alumni e-mail address for job applications and never use it anywhere else. Sure, people *can* find stuff about me and what I've posted to Usenet in the last 15 years or so, but it's not easy to do if I haven't volunteered any of the domains I've posted under.
There's no "irony" involved. One gives a real address when buying those DVDs online so they can be delivered. In person, you can just trade the money for the product.

Oh. So that's what I've been "missing."
Shit, that's a good idea. I'm on it.
As do I.

Nice! No more cell phones interrupting the movie.
Those "comfy web, wireless web" Lufthansa subway ads always make me thing that guy's just rubbed one out and now he's gonna take a little snooze.
Personally, I'd rather read Usenet offline while flying coach on the cheapest provider and have a couple hundred bucks in my pocket.
That's it! Goastse ringtones!
I can already imagine the late-night tv ads for these.
I agree, and I'm a Microsoft Partner.
Is that like being a boyfriend?
It was inevitable that at some point, he'd interface with his wife and do some sort of dump.
That's just nasty. Wouldn't having to see Ballmer's sweaty "Oh" face would be bad enough?

Wouldn't MS want to get Vista out in time for Christmas?
What, is Microsoft trying to compete with coal now?
Hate is always a matter of fear and ignorance.
I guess that means I'm fearful and ignorant of brussels sprouts.
But it would be okay to have sex with them, right?
Umberto Eco described how those things were already cliches when Casablanca came out.
Whoa. Busses that run on human shit, the bikini team, and that red, chewy fish candy. Sweden rules!
