If you think it's nice to break habits or do unconventional code just for the thrill of it, remember how fun it is when you need to work on someone else's code.
1. A lot of people are lactose intolerant or allergic to casein. Stop putting lactose in salt and vinegar chips. Stop putting dairy byproducts in non-cheese-flavored food.
2. A lot of people have high blood pressure. Stop adding insane amounts of sodium.
3. A lot of people are vegan or vegetarian. Stop simply saying "natural flavour" and tell us if it's plant-based or not.
Unless you like losing customers, stop adding useless ingredients that a percentage of the population is allergic to, or just plain avoids.
To stay on-topic, I'll say that the only food products I buy are the ones I already know are safe. I only notice new products if they change the packaging/artwork/logo, which then makes me read the ingredients list once again, just in case the new image comes with a newly formulated product. But since 99% of the time it's still the same thing, it goes back on the shelf.
Stop trying to sell me your marketing, it's your product that I'm buying.
I always liked the movie Starship Troopers because I saw it for what it is, an action/sci-fi/parody of military thinking/military logic taken to the extremes. The actors do a good job in their roles, the special effects are top-notch (for the time it was made) and the tongue-in-cheek humour of the story made it clear that the director didn't agree with the point of view of the book's author.
Could be a good new prank hardware though... a real "Flash Drive". Plug it into a USB port and after a three seconds it flashes a powerful white LED light for 1/10 of a second.

His method is perfectly sound if you need to work in an environment that does not have source control.
1 GOTO 3
2 GOTO 1
3 GOTO 2
That's how I tie my shoes.
That's another possibility. But then the cop would have used a "not allowed to sleep in cars" law or something.
If he was still drunk after being awaked from sleep, can't we assume he was also drunk when he drove his vehicle into that private parking lot?
I suppose we could also assume he got into his car sober and started drinking but the first case is more likely. Most people drink at bars or at home.

I don't think the Google Campus grounds are "public streets", surely Google gets to decide what happens on their own lot.

Your rod is measured on the molecule-sized scale?
Exact same reason people buy and restore old cars. They're part of our history and some of us grew up with them, so they're part nostalgia too.
Well, in french, a boy is called a "gars" (pronounced "ga", pretty much), so I suggest coming up with an Amiga clone called "Amifille".
Nobody "invented" fire.

Well, alright then...
I'm the one who wrote the damn thing, 127 years ago. In a previous life. And I therefore release it to the public domain.
Are you happy?
Let's talk about processed foods as an example.
1. A lot of people are lactose intolerant or allergic to casein. Stop putting lactose in salt and vinegar chips. Stop putting dairy byproducts in non-cheese-flavored food.
2. A lot of people have high blood pressure. Stop adding insane amounts of sodium.

It does work if the goal is to get billions of dollars a year.
I'm still using MS-DOS 3.3, you insensitive clod!
"The story was great, the special effects were great and all the actors were great, but I hate actor XYZ so I'm rating this movie 1 star."
How long before the LGBT community takes offense with the phrase "Let me get this straight..."

If you see "The Asylum" in the credits, you know it's automatically a one-star movie, maybe two stars if they had a better budget.
I do have to say though, they did a really amazing job with Z Nation and I hope Netflix gets the second season soon.

I think it's more of a proof of concept, to show that people plugging unknown/found devices into USB ports really can be dangerous for the hardware.
But I use a Mac running OS X... I'm immune to this, right? /sarcasm
Sounds like a perfect job for a tiny Raspberry Pi model A+.
