I recently read a compilation of studies of illegitimate children. The statistics ranged anywhere from 2.5 up to 20% of children in marriage are the product of infidelity. If there's that many fathers out there raising someone else's kid, even if you only take the 2.5% statistic, imagine how many women are able to cheat and not get pregnant. Now remember that it's widely accepted that men cheat more frequently, so take whatever estimate you have in your head and double it.
Unless you propose to eliminate infidelity, your solution is a terrible one. For someone like me, who practices safe sex without exception, marriage or a similarly commited relationship is in fact the most likely way to contract an STD.
Much more likely it's just aliasing from your human brain's ultra-sensitive pattern detector encountering some random noise. The big wrinkly part in the front is supposed to act as a post-processing filter, yours seems to be malfunctioning.
If you want to gain an intuitive understanding of just how "coincidental" coincidence can be, work in tech support for a year or two. You'll begin to wonder if your cubicle lies on the path of the beam, but eventually you'll realize that when you flip a coin a thousand times, sometimes it comes up heads fifty times in a row.
People nattering on about their magical powers should be poked in the eye.
Picture this: your mother-in-law comes over. You open the front door, and just as she's about to cross the threshold 40 of these things come running down the hallway armed with foot-long kitchen knives.
A robot walking slowly is a toy. A robot, even a tiny one, pistoning down a hall, leaping obstacles, maybe tripping and catching itself with one hand without breaking stride... that's just plain scary. I believe that no invention is complete until it's capable of its own starring role in a nightmare. We're getting there, let's get it done this decade.
I've done it once in my life, a few years ago. Do you still remember how to have sex with a woman? Anyway, here ya go: How to make a straight line.

Ah, it's been a few years since I used Photoshop, I just looked up the healing brush and now I can see all the extra stuff it does. Although, all of it looks like things Gimp can already do, but it would take a person who knows exactly what they're doing and 20 steps. Hopefully that summer of code thing gets this.
Cow-orker is wrong. I can't remember off the top of my head how to do it, but it's easy (if you know how). Might involve creating a path and selecting a stroke, or holding a meta key while choosing a tool. Somehow I uninstalled Gimp in an orgy of recompiling, so I can't tell you exactly now, but yeah, it does lines just fine, and circles too!

noexec Do not allow direct execution of any binaries on the mounted file system. (Until recently it was possible to run binaries anyway using a command like/lib/ld*.so/mnt/binary. This trick fails since Linux 2.4.25 / 2.6.0.)
I'm no physics expert, so feel free to discount this, but I'm pretty sure all you'd manage to do is make your orbit elliptical. I imagine there's an "orbital escape velocity" where if you push hard enough you'd manage to hit dirt, I just don't a person's legs would be enough.
That's a stupid statement. Not seeing how someone could take this in a racist way would make you either an idiot or a child.
That having been said, this whole damn story is stupid. Call me when the riots start or when the whole advertising company and half of Sony is thrown in the gulag, otherwise I really don't give a shit about people worrying that other people might--or maybe should--be offended by an ad that was obviously created just to stir up this exact controversy. This only gets interesting if enough people are actually stupid to fall for it.
No, there's a blatantly obvious message that contributes to the discussion. You know, the part that says "and you're tech-challenged." Pay special attention to the word "and". If the statements on both sides of the word "and" aren't true, then the entire statement isn't true. Have you been huffing paint?

Oh man, do you realize you just missed the chance to say "Hii!"

This comment sums it up much better.

Shoulda used paintbrush instead of pencil. It's not anti-aliased, so people will think Gimp images looks like crap.

Yeah, they just don't call it that: Gimp skincare
What's wrong with mod_ruby that you're trying to use FastCGI?
I know nothing about rails, does it not work with mod_ruby?
From man mount (eww):
noexec Do not allow direct execution of any binaries on the mounted file system. (Until recently it was possible to run binaries anyway using a command like /lib/ld*.so /mnt/binary. This trick fails since Linux 2.4.25 / 2.6.0.)

Thanks. I never thought of that :\

Dude, I know. She has those ... boobs ... getting in the way. I bet she doesn't even have a penis. How boring can you get?
P.S.
You're gay.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
