You use code words. Like, for example, instead of 'salad bowl', say 'pot'. And instead of 'vegetables' say 'coke'. Instead of 'in-laws' say 'Crazy Fucking Eddie'. See?
"Honey? I'm freaking out right now. I can't find the pot, and Crazy Fucking Eddie is going to be here in an hour....Yes, I've cut up the coke!"
The problem is most people want tighter border security so they can avoid having to deal with another culture. Not that that's all people. But it's the people with vestigial Irish or Scottish accents telling the continental native to go home. Bwahaha.
My favorite condemning bumber sticker: "I don't dial 1 for ENGLISH!!" Yeah? You're a stupid fuck.
There's also gringo lovers, that goddamn malinchista pricks, I find them really annoying, haha.
I grew up in Mexico, and I always thought it was funny that my friend's dad would get 2 veintes of Pacifico shitfaced and start talking about how badass gringos were. "'uta...Pinches gringos... son...bien cabrones los pinches gringos"
And any married man who would respond to such an ad is a contemptible idiot by definition.
It's not just a married man who would have his life ruined by having his reply posted. people lose their jobs over myspace pages, why not something like this? What about divorced guys and their kids see it? What about guys whose wives don't give a shit as long as nobody finds out?
The guy is POTENTIALLY fucking with "bad" people, but probably in most cases no
The difference is that the people responding to the ad weren't doing anything illegal. I still think people who spend their lives baiting dudes who want to fuck teens are probably unbearable douchebags, though.
Note also: if you hold the disk up to the light and see lots of pinholes... the aluminium layer's fucked and you haven't a hope. I dunno if you can repaint an aluminium layer...
I've patched pinholes with white out, and the disc worked fine. I've also patched a big camping pot with white out, and it lasted another year.:)
it just means anybody who's bothered by it can get compensated for it. This is generally how companies offer refunds; they don't track down 100% of their customers to hand out stuff.
The problem I have with the DNA "this has a one in 113 billion chance of matching" is that this is an extrapolated number based on certain premises of independence between the different loci. Whereas the more we learn about DNA, the more we learn that there is a high degree of covariability, certainly enough that (as the article shows), the odds of a match are actually much much higher.
That's exactly what I tried to say in my post, but I am a lay-person. Thanks for explaining it properly.:-)
My favorite recent example of statpidity was the Obama-is-related-to-Cheney thing. I loled so fucking hard when I did the math going back 10 generations. First, you climb Cheney's family tree at powers of two, so 2^10, then come back down with the assumption that these people have an average of 3 children per generation (probably higher as you go back, really), and you've got 2^10*3^10 are related to Cheney. Which is 60,466,176 people who could be related to one of Cheney's ancestors at 10 generations back.
Which is 1/6 of the population of the United States. If you assume 4 children per generation, it's 1/6 of the population of the world. lulz
Of course, each of the 6 million people in the database has a the same chance of matching someone...which means there should be 318 people who match someone else in CODIS, or 159 'matches'.
Is this really how it works? If there is a 6/113k chance that I'll match someone, it's not that I'll match someone who doesn't match another person. It's the same as calculating who will share a birthday with someone else, right? Overlap on any roll of the dice is as likely as any other individual non-overlap result (rolling 6, 6 is as likely as 6, 3)
So I don't think you can say that there are 159 pairs at all, because even if it happens to be true, it's misleading. The significant datum is that 318 people can be falsely convicted, period.
I'm just saying that restricting the majority of encrypted traffic will have no effect on the people who actually need the traffic for their job. The ISP will probably consider it a perk that they've manufactured a new "feature" for their business internet package: We don't renege on our contract.
I'm going to try to avert a disaster whereby we all end up resenting all members of the opposite sex for another half decade, and suggest that we all smoke a bunch of marijuana, sit in a circle, and hug.
I can't fucking believe the bullshit internet acronyms they list on that site. Also, if kids actually use these acronyms, I Want To Slap The Shit Out Of Them.
It's worth considering that they might have tried very hard at one time in their lives and learned that no practical amount would ever be enough. That sort of thing will make nearly anyone give up. Yeah, that's what I updated my brain with. New set of filters. The other ones were getting old.
Sorry for adding to the litany of annoying pricks.:-)
No, dude. I haven't been a woman. Thanks for asking. I spent 4 fucking years in my friend's privately owned gym, though, so I do know that people who CAN'T lose weight are statistical outliers.
And while we're being rude, have you ever commuted 2 hours each way to a salaried position where you average 50 hours a week so you can support a wife and 3 children? It's hard to lose weight then, too. Just not impossible.
I gotcha. I suppose it's just that I've never known someone personally who was overweight that was actually trying. I have known a lot fewer people than most people, I wager.
Must update brain. *scree scree scree scree scree*

Don't be silly. All rich Mexicans have a tattoo reading "Favor de no desmembrar, ni meter en saco de metal."
At least, I think I found it.
Cheap metaphorical cliches, that's what. Dime a fucking dozen.
do they use those tools on their ATMs, when there's actual money at stake?
Oh, there's money at stake in the elections... you just make more of it if your software malfunctions. :)

It's kind of rude to post the pictures of people when you don't know that the person emailing you the pictures is even the person in the picture.
Dude deserves what he gets. Entrapping people who are doing nothing wrong at all. Weird maybe. Wrong no.

Probably?
Otherwise known as the highest certainty rating in FBI protocol.
Possibly will get you detained. Perchance will only get you interrogated. :)

And for the record, the two best physics professors I've lacked a penis.

10 bucks is absolutely worth it. I remember vz being like 15 vs 45, though.
Still probably worth it, to keep the man off yer back.

Its a loose loose situation really
That sounds very loose. How loose can you get?
i dunno. ask goatse.
those people will be more obliged to pay the ridiculously jacked up business internet prices, then, i suppose.
