  2. Discworld reference on Tracking Pedophiles By Their Typing Habits · · Score: 1

    Since Phrenology hasn't exactly panned out, they gotta try something new.

    Since the invention of retrophrenology, can't we do something about typing habits to convert pedofiles into nonpedofiles. Something to do with hammers and their hands. Large hammers.

  3. Re:Ridiculous on Will Your Answers To the Census Stay Private? · · Score: 1

    To give a hypothetical example, it would be like if you were a neilsen family but refused to fill out info about the tv shows that you liked and then complained when they got canceled.

    Another hypothical example: Say you filled out the census form stating that you were Japanese, and then got sent to a concentration because of that.

    Oh wait, that actually happened.

    Isn't it strange how people don't trust the government when it says "trust me, we'll never use the census in this way"?

    Ok, I've always wondered. What if you are black, and didn't come from Africa? Do you lie and say you came from Africa, or do you tell the truch and pick some other option?

    Sure. Think of the video game, Commander Billy Gates flying around on his supercharged vacuum cleaner (for the great sucking sounds it makes) taking on the evil penguin empire. Penguins have to be evil, running aroung with those smug expressions on their face while wearing tuxedoes. Anyone rich enough to be able to afford tuxedoes for themselves an all their minions as everyday wear must be evil.

  9. Re:Time is Worthless on Bad BitDefender Update Clobbers Windows PCs · · Score: 1

    Why exactly would Microsoft give you support for a 3rd part application that has fucked up ?

    You saw the word "defender", automatically assumed is was another MS problem, and couldn't wait to add your 2 cents. Don't worry, you're not the first person in this thread to have egg on their face, and you probably won't be the last.

    Let's see. Microsoft creates an operating system that REQUIRES some third party software to plug holes they have left in the system. They acknowledge that it needs this by offering their own version of these hacks used to help plug the holes. Now, one of these patches to their software has failed.

    Let's make a car analogy. Lets say Microsoft built a car that required you to open the hood and jiggle the carberator every 5 minutes. So some company built an add-on carberator jiggler so you wouldn't have to keep getting out of the car during your normal commute to work. So one day, the jiggler breaks the carberator with an extra hard jiggle. Now, whose fault is it that your car doesn't work? Microsoft for their design that requires jiggling to keep it running, or the add-on company for a design that failed that one time?

    You mean, like the way the National Enquirer rates the psycics as being over 90% accurate, but if you get the Prediction issue from the previous year, only the obvious things came true. You know, like "bat boy will devour a large midwest town". He does that EVERY year. It's like predicting 5 o'clock.

  20. Re:Awesome on The Death of the US-Mexico Virtual Fence · · Score: 1

    As far as the fence is concerned, if we had just poured $1.4 billion into Mexico's economy instead of this cluster fuck of an idea, workers would have less of a reason to leave Mexico and try to sneak into our country. They come here for jobs, but if we help create jobs in their own country...

    Maybe Mexico should pour $1.4 billion into our economy to create jobs here for these "unregistered workers". Why should Americans foot the bill for their citizens, when Mexico could do it? Why does the US have to pay for other countries problems?

  25. Re:so long... on Toshiba Ends Incandescent Bulb Production After 120 Years · · Score: 1

    My complaint about LED's is that they are too directional. Regular light bulbs light in all directions (essentially), while LED lights point in a specific direction. You can't turn on one light to work, you end up needing several to point at the various places you are working.
