  1. Re:Hang on... on Teen Sues MySpace Over Sexual Assault · · Score: 1
    Women having sex consensually, and then crying rape afterwards is NOT uncommon...


    That is as bad as rape in my eyes. Once you are pegged as a sexual offender that's a gift that keeps on giving the rest of your life...

  2. Re:the product is stupid on A New Technique to Quickly Erase Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Don't quote me on this but from my understanding it is possible to pull information from RAM after power has been discontinued, even after multiple writes. I don't know how many, etc. but I'm sure someone here does.

  3. Re:Vandals on A Look at the Editorial Changes on Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    I'm a new "editor" on Wikipedia and by editor I mean I correct spelling and that's about it as I'm still getting used to the protocol. I would agree with your assessment, as most pages I look at seem to be well written and thought out. I think that there are more well intentioned users than vandals and when pages are vandalized it is usually obvious. I wouldn't say that Wikipedia is perfect but I don't think any enclopedia is and this certainly gets a ton of peer review.

  4. Re:Switzerland doesn't have a problem with Terrori on Labs Compete to Build New Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1
    One major difference between the US and Switzerland is that Sw runs a neutral foreign policy.


    Switzerland's neutrality also is like a child sticking his fingers in his ears and screaming so he knows nothing about what's going on outside of his little world. If Switzerland wasn't neutral during WW2 I wonder how the outcome might have changed?

    Shameless post just to say I posted on a Woz thread...

    You don't seem like the Simon Cowell type, nor do most people I know for that matter though. And the History Channel is about all I watch, so I look forward to seeing this.

    Thanks for everything, I wouldn't be where I'm at today without you.

    1. I don't think over 5K of weight in a trailer loaded is unreasonable. Think gas, ski's, camping gear, food, etc.

    2. Semi's are designed to do what they do, even if you put a hitch on your Acura and are a stupendous driver a 5K trailer is going to throw you around especially when it's windy. And that 5K isn't even taking into account what you have inside your vehicle that counts towards the gross weight, including yourself. I'll take a full size truck with a transmission cooler and/or tow package for towing, thank you.

    Cool. I had to post the FP link after it came through work on an IM and I read the site. The counter was leaping at one point and now the webserver is dead at 10:00PM PST. I think the girlfriend picture kept people interested. It did me anyways.

    Hey, I'm 6' 3" why are you picking on all of us tall people like that? ;)

    I would say taller people seem to be more uncoordinated than shorter people though but I think that's due to the fact that some people don't quite adjust as well as others when the growth spurt hits. Especially when you gain 6 inches in a year, etc.
