  1. Re:What? on Mars One Delayed Its Mars Mission -- Again (time.com) · · Score: 1

    Polygamous Ranch sounds like an interesting salad dressing.

    Nobody reads the subject line.

  3. Well, there's the solution to permanent monitoring.

    Everybody has visited every web page, so logging is useless.

    Tada.

    No need to thank me, citizen.

    I'm just one man, doing his part.

    Yet, you did.

  6. Nude cross-dressing would be a frustrating fetish.

    A contract would override the EULA.

    The words you say to each other at the time of exchanging money for goods/services are your contract. The EULA is a bunch of words that the author really hopes you'll read and listen to.

    In the absence of a contract, the EULA will sometimes be used in its place.

    But it's never a full reversal.

    It's always 5 steps forward, then one step back when people have had too much.

    Actually, they love the bad publicity.

    "Those monsters will even sue a sweet old grandma, if we get a letter we'd better just pay it rather than risk going to court against them."

    She isn't being sued by the game developers, she's being sued by an anti-piracy group.

    At what point does the VPN just become your ISP?

    Now I'm wondering how a single person can be diverse.

  12. > Ever wonder why there hasn't been a case of smallpox, arguably the deadliest disease humanity has ever known, since 1977...

    Smallpox was nasty and it's great to be rid of it, but isn't calling it the deadliest a bit of an exaggeration?

    I could probably fact check this rather than just stating what "feels" right, but wouldn't things like ebola rank higher? Or on a long enough timeline, HIV, but I suppose that's highly debatable.

    Yes, that was exactly how I read his post.

    But I suppose Poe's Law is a thing for a reason....

    Sure.

    If you suspect an elite team of ninjas running around and connecting to the phones with USB.

  15. And I can almost guarantee you that every single fax is either automatically converted to a PDF or scanned to one, thereby negating even that benefit of faxing.

  17. And then, once it's in place and the bad men are caught, then sure. The agent can snoop on his ex-girlfriend's emails, for fun.

    Because why the hell not?

  18. Atheism means literally "without god".

    My dog is atheist. She's never (to my knowledge) actively rejected god.

  19. I'd just look at where the wires from the button went.

    No, it really isn't.

    They use the word theft a lot with the masses, but you're never charged with theft.

    I haven't looked into it too much, but it was my understanding that the dust on the moon was far worse than the dust on Mars due to the lack of even a token atmosphere to wear it down with wind.

    Going to a hospital is Darwin's way of telling you to get out of the way of the more fit individuals.

  25. What if the mitochondrial DNA isn't enough to kill a child, just damage it?

    Isn't it better to fix it wherever we can instead of having this damaged DNA carry through the generations?
