  1. Re: Buddhism & Hell on U.S. Classrooms Torn Between Science and Religion · · Score: 1

    I don't see spammers listed here. Are they in some kind of sub-hell level from which they can never escape (but still have communications access to the rest of us)?

  2. Covert communications channel? on Anonymizing RFI Attacks Through Google · · Score: 1

    Couldn't the gibberish (designed to defeat filters) contained in spam also be a "Covert communications channel"?

    Bigger/more is always better. In the future (AKA lame-o business-speak's "going forward") we'll see porn featuring individuals with 5 24" penises penetrating multiple females that have car airbag-sized funbags.

    North and east you have some of the largest fresh water bodies in the world.

    I hope this doesn't refer to the great lakes - do you realize how far they are from Alberta?

  10. Re:No increase in oil demand? on Report Blasts "Peak Oil" Theory · · Score: 1

    There's lots of oil left, it's just more expensive to get at. As long as the price is above ~US$25/bbl advanced and more efficient extraction methods are profitable. Ever heard of SAGD?

    I'm involved with such a project and try to kick as many puppies as possible on my way to work every day.

    From http://uh.edu/engines/epi179.htm:

    "Three years later Tesla went to work for Edison in the United States. He tried to interest Edison in AC but was told that the idea was downright un-American. Tesla and Edison soon parted company. Tesla managed to get funding from the financier J.P. Morgan, and he issued a series of AC patents starting in 1887. He soon convinced George Westinghouse to put his money into the development of AC power systems.

    Edison's response was downright maniacal. He launched an appalling campaign to discredit Westinghouse and Tesla. The idea was to show that AC was too dangerous to use. He invited reporters to demonstrations where stray dogs and cats were placed on metal sheets and electrocuted with 1000 volts of AC."

    It's cool to use terminology, isn't it.

  21. Re:"linking" should be considered very carefully on UK Woman Charged As Terrorist For Computer Files · · Score: 1

    Fawlty Towers is really good, you guys should have it down there. Cleese was also wonderful in A Fish Called Wanda. But that one was more of an American-type movie with Curtis and K-K-Kline and Palin. Great stuff that can be watched again and again.

  22. Re:"linking" should be considered very carefully on UK Woman Charged As Terrorist For Computer Files · · Score: 1

    Don't we have to weigh something first? Cleese's facial reaction in that scene was a killer, one that he also used to great effect in Fawlty Towers. But in Fawlty Towers he combined it with the funny walk and created Basil's famous spasmodic, out-of-control angry flailing that only a tall, thin man can do.

    Maybe I'm intellectually challenged, but watching Cleese's antics always makes me laugh.

    I admit that I don't have a lot of experience with women, what with living in this basement and all.

    Years ago I dated a woman for several months who was arrested (and eventually convicted) as being a courier for a methamphetmine distribution ring a few months after we ceased seeing each other.

    So what you're saying (cutting out your long-winded story) is that you never bothered to find out more about this woman other than the fact that she was good in bed or a great companion. Is my reading of this situation correct?

  25. Re:In my day, it was Roosevelt's crutches on YouTube Removal Highlights Media Self-Censorship · · Score: 1

    Of course, this also points to a weak and ineffectual news director who doesn't have the guts to protect his/her reporters from the upper management.

    Which just goes to show that a few strategically-placed people can have a huge impact when it comes to opinion-making.
