If you read the bio you link to, it says he used to post as "Mr Pink Eyes" — so this guy has submitted a link to his own blog. Take with salt as necessary.
Actually, he spoke at the University of Michigan's graduation also, where he advised Beck & Limbaugh fans to read a Huffpost article or two, and Liberals to watch Fox News. He also advocated against name-calling like Fascist, Socialist and Teabagger, because once you've given someone a derogatory label, it's impossible to come to a compromise with them.
From my understanding, the reason it's called "My Computer" in Windows is to force (lazy) programmers to handle spaces in file paths. But that could just be a rumor.
I guess you don't like being able to upload images/files to a web application.
This (or another in a litany of ) WP vulnerability usually involves uploading a php script which exposes a bunch of extra server-side functionality (download any file, list users, access MySQL dbs...) through WP's file upload manager, which WP seems slow to fix on occasion.
That said, there's no reason a developer couldn't do the useful part of your suggestion —run a checksum of their application files when the upload to the server, then use that to identify anything that's been monkeyed with. I might start doing that, actually.
But there's no way I'm spending a dime with YourHostingCompany(TM), which requires I make simple code changes via VPN. Will you give me SSH access, even?
Looks like a +2 to me at the moment. In fairness, while my closing was factually accurate, it was disingenuous. Though wasn't the London bombing a retaliation for the UK following us into Iraq?
I'm disappointed that i left it in, since it detracts from the points I was really trying to get at.
There's a difference between being independent and self-assured v. not "giv[ing] a rats fuck" what the rest of the world thinks. I was also trying to get the Parent (or anyone else...) to explain what's "sad" about emulating ideas from Europe (or anywhere else...), other than a "not developed here" attitude.
Personally, as an American citizen, I could give a rats fuck what the international community thinks about us.
Awesome. And I'm sure you wonder why we got attacked in the first place. Personally, I like traveling, and I'd rather not be spit on when I venture abroad for sightseeing.
The sad thing is before his 1st term is over, we will be hardly distinguishable from most of the European countries in terms of economics and social and political policy.
And that's intrinsically bad, because...? If you have some example of where they're failing and we're following, then maybe bring that up. But I don't really see how emulating someone else is a "sad thing" in and of itself.
No one has flown planes into any buildings in Europe that I know of.
There are some things that do help significantly without the need for medication. First soy will turn him into an ADHD poster boy even with medication.
Tell me more about this link between Soy products in his diet and his level of focus. All I can find online is borderline-pseudoscience (not saying it's wrong... but the tone of the writing has that inflection of "whack job" to it) about Soy during early development leading to ADHD/Autism/etc.

Dialysis replaces kidney function, not liver.
Don't worry, that will change in the post-apocalyptic future.

Gearing up to renamed it the "Googleheim" I guess.
As a mac-user and a game enthusiast, I find the "+2 Funny" mod it currently sports most excellent.
I wish I still had mod points, because you deserve a +1.

Exxon Valdez was a tanker... run by the Exxon corporation. You probably meant Exxon and BP, but I won't presume.
Blue Man Group starts a segment of their show with a hilarious video on the topic:

I think the term you're looking for is "Limousine Liberal." It's a pretty handy descriptor.
Right, that's why we call it "blackslash" :)
/ and \ : Slash and Backslash, respectively, respectfully.

"Dirty Pretty Things" is the film you're referencing starring the lead actress from Amelie, if I'm remembering correctly.
Out of mod points, or you'd get +1 Awesome.
You must not have watched it, then.
That's Halo's Marathon DNA showing through. The .44 in multiplayer Marathon was devastating. Especially two-fisted.
Seconded.
Yes, please. Go on reading from the Declaration of Independence in a conversation about the Constitution.
I believe biometrics[1] are considered "Something you are" to round out the trifecta with "have" and "know."
[1] NB: Biometrics are bad for a huge number of reasons. (Including, but not limited to: un-revokable. I'll let you ponder the others.)

Now that, sir, is an *interesting* idea.

Wouldn't it be "+2, Hilarious?"
