  1. Re:So, basically, Stop Brown People For Being Brow on US Changes How Air Travelers Are Screened · · Score: 1

    I agree. It's awesome how the Founders wrote right into the Constitution that Etrias would be gifted the power to amend it, yea, although the Unbelievers wouldst mock him and say "Etrias, dost thou not know that it taketh an Act of Congress to amendeth thy Most Holy Constitution?" and Etrias would speakest thus: "Callow churls, only I knowest the True Minds of the Founders, for I am of Their line. I bear the Marks and the Signs foretold my coming. Yieldeth unto My wisdom, love me, and despair."

  2. So, basically, Stop Brown People For Being Brown? on US Changes How Air Travelers Are Screened · · Score: 5, Funny

    See, it's not racial profiling if it's based on the shocking Intelligence Information that The Terrorists are often Brown People.

    You may think I'm being sardonic, but you'd be wrong. If I were being sardonic, I'd have leaned to one side, sardonically.

  3. Re:They are not... on How the iPad Is Already Reshaping the Internet (Sans Flash) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Everyone buying an iPad has some disposable income to burn

    1. "had", not "has".
    2. When they have more, it'll go to Starbucks, then to Apple for the "iPad Mini" (It's Not an iPod Touch, Heretics), or whatever poser toy they spunk out next.
  4. Re:Pros... on Indian Census To Collect Fingerprints, Photos · · Score: 1

    Chummy, old buddy, dear heart, I most humbly apologise for not realising that your words are more worthy than mine. I don't wish to "waste more page space", but I feel that it's best that we're clear on which of us has the better claim to squandering this precious resource.

    Well, I agree with you that fingerprints are a better means of identification. But since passports - which you seemed implicitly to approve of, by discounting their significance - already require an image of your face, not your fingers, that leaves me very confused as to what your point is. If your a point is comprehensible to such as I, I mean. It would seem to someone of my limited understanding that collecting fingerprints would offer more protection to the Ordinary Decent Indian than photographs, which as you so wisely point out, are a poor means of identification.

    I'm clearly missing something here. Perhaps you could use shorter words next time, fastest of fast friends?

  5. Re:Pros... on Indian Census To Collect Fingerprints, Photos · · Score: 1

    Can you explain the difference, in terms of privacy concerns, between an image of your fingerprints and an image of your face?

    Please use short words, because I'm clearly neither as smart nor as angry as you.

    But aren't domain names pretty irrelevant now in the Brave Google World?

    The subset of people naive, dumb or drunk enough to just type "sex" in the url bar probably doesn't intersect in any meaningful way with people who own a credit card and are capable of typing in the number.

    I mean, they won't have to hack the accounts - MS will just meekly hand over the keys to "comply with local laws."

    "Harry Potter is selling well, so kids are reading more books!", went the cry. As it turned out, kids were just reading more Harry Potter. There was no halo effect.

    That's like dumping a fat chick and not keeping her number for a drunken booty call. You know one night, after a bottle of absinthe and half a pack of horse tranquillisers, you're going to regret that.

    Y'all don't have your genuine copy backed up as an ISO? Another thing that we have here in the World of Tomorrow is ample storage space. If you're that pressed for space, you may want to consider finally letting go of that archive of Bianca Troll's Smut Shack and all those Cindy Crawford jpegs.

    Bingo. They only discovered that they had principles after they got publicly bitch-slapped all over the trailer park. Some credit is due for them walking out rather than crawling back for another beating, hoping they could change China if they just loved them enough, but they should never have started dating them in the first place.
