You think THAT's scary. Go to Europe. They copy your passport at HOTELS for god's sake. The NERVE of them! Holy shit, we're all gonna die, the FBI is taking fingerprints! Alert the media!

And a few getaways that will forcibly remove you from your technology.
Yeah, they're called "the middle of nowhere" and they are not at all expensive. I try to go there at least a couple of times a year. They are fantastic.
So I tried to get the wankers which run the "HSBC Goodness Gracious Me" call center to give me a security contact and a reference to report the bugs. Guess what - they neither understood the concept of "Your credit card interface has a major security flaw", not could provide a contact.
Careful doing that. I've heard of *ahem* someone *ahem* doing the same thing with a bank, and having to spend several weeks giving depositions to the police, talking to the fbi, and basically being treated like a criminal. Moral of the story, switch your account and shut up about it, or it could easily become a giant hassle for you.
Regardless, I would guess that your friend has a bank account, if for no other reason than because mason jars are not, to the best of my knowledge, insured by the FDIC.
Having done it before, I'd take a pay cut to do it again. Sure, there's a problem with seperation between work and home life, but many of us have that anyway what with mobile phones, blackberries, etc. At least that way my commute is shorter.
Do they still get transported to school in motor vehicles?
Yes, with rock-hard vinyl seats, a metal interior, and no seatbelts, driven by an $8/hr drug addict who, for the cost of a cup of coffee, will rocket the bus over the bumpiest part of the railroad tracks.
don't consume trans fats (except for naturally occuring ones in beef). The government was "supposed" to regulate trans fat labels, but they haven't. Many items say 0 trans fats but contain a significant amount below 1 gram, and your government allows it to be labeled 0 grams. Nice. That's government at its finest. When I see 0 grams of trans fats, I will call the manufacturer and ask them to confirm the fact that there are zero, and most of the time they'll say "there's a negligible amount" which is the equivalent of saying "yeah, they're in there." No thanks.
You could always just not eat packaged food. It's cheaper, more nutritious, and better all around for both you and the environment to not eat anything that comes in a package. Sure, there's a little expense for time, but the quality you end up with makes it well worthwhile. Especially if you have a wife and don't have to cook it yourself.
Nukes in orbit are stupid. You could simply give a rock a little push from that far out, and gravity would take care of everything you needed to destroy just about any ground target.
Of course. That makes a lot of sense given that we are likely to go from nothing to a fully functioning nuclear armed star ship while Bush is still in office.
a) Get dressed, get in your car, drive to Wal-mart, purchase a DVD, wait in the checkout line, drive home, and pop it in the DVD player; or
b) Open iTunes, browse the movie/TV selections, download and watch your movie/TV Show
c) Go to the on-demand service provided by my cable company, choose a movie, and start watching it immediately.
You have a right to *peaceably* assemble. As soon as it's no longer peaceful, it doesn't qualify anymore. Your right to free speech does not imply the right to speak freely in any location you choose.
Technology removes privacy. It's the nature of technology. It removes privacy and pays you with convenience. Just like you can't have pudding if you don't eat your meat, you can't have the conveniences technology provides without some sort of payoff.

what a bunch of fucking nerds.

If by "fix" you mean "create a giant clusterfuck", then yes, that would fix things nicely.

I'd take a pay cut to telecommute.
30% to taxes is nothing. Add up all of the various income taxes, and I'm over 40%. And I'm not even close to the highest bracket.
Because it has approximately 1Mb more than Opera included in the install file.

Well, for sure now is the time to buy a quad core. I doubt there will be any new chips released for the next several years at least.

I choose "C".

I'm sure that works great in Canada, but we have more than 4 people who live here. Also, we have electricity, so we can power our counting-machines.
Good, now maybe that stupid Dr. Sbaitso will be able to give me some answers that make some god damned sense.
I could not call my friends for shit, but IM? Even AOL IM? Worked fine.
