  1. Re:No Problems -- I guess I'm a sheep... on A Peek At the National Opt-Out Day Numbers · · Score: 1

    My wife went through the same airport (Mitchel Intl.) on Monday. She informed TSA agent was pregnant, so they insisted she go through the "safe" AIT scanner, where her family walked on through the regular metal detectors.

  2. Re:The Economist's opinion on Louisiana Federal Judge Blocks Drilling Moratorium · · Score: 1

    "had government done a better job of regulating the oil industry in the first place, BP's shoddy practices might not have gone unchecked and this disaster might never have happened."

    And had the girl not worn slutty clothes to the bar, maybe she wouldn't have gotten raped.
    Blaming the victim is NOT the right answer.

  3. Re:CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION on Study Shows TV Makes Kids Fat, Computers Don't · · Score: 1

    I assume you are referring to the title, but it is pretty clear from tfa and even the writeup that the implication is NOT that TV itself causes fatness. The writeup even proposes that snacking more in front of the TV is possibly the cause.

    You just described my mother you insensitive clod!!!

  6. Re:Aged badly on Red Dwarf To Return, Find Earth · · Score: 3, Informative

    I think it's funny how you mentioned "Friends" and the US version of "Red Dwarf" in the same post. That "super jock" you mentioned was actually offered the roll of Joey on friends, but he turned it down and took the gig as Lister instead because he didn't think friends had any chance of success...

  7. From the other side of the fence on Should You Break TOS Because Work Asks You? · · Score: 2, Informative

    As someone who works for a web company that is full of high-demand listing information, we are constantly having to deal with this kind of activity. Any site with dynamic data that is in demand will already have a procedure to deal with the kind of activity you are driving to it, as they have almost certainly dealt with it before. In our case, we have a network appliance that can detect if you are a scraper based on your traffic, and then serve you a "you've been throttled" page. In short, your script will be an exercise in futility. Here is a better solution for your company - contact the source of the data, and offer to purchase a feed from them. Chances our they will be willing to comply to keep you from loading their website with stupid traffic. You will end up having to pay money, but at least your process won't break. You should suggest this to your boss at least. A side note: your peers will definitely frown on your actions. If I knew a person behind this kind of activity they'd get branded scarlet-letter-style.

    This is far worse than you are describing.

    HOT beer.

  9. Re:I'm confused.... on House Declines To Vote On Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    If you read the above post in its entirety, you would know that it was a vote to strike the immunity provision.... not a vote in favor of the bill.

    Looks like a clear cut case of the Streisand Effect, imo.

  14. Let them know what you think on Intel Laptop Competes With One Laptop Per Child · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Use a fake email address if you like, but please tell Intel what you think of their Wal-Mart style business practices in competition with this non-profit org. http://www.classmatepc.com/contact_us.cfm

  16. Re:Alpha countdown on Will Wright on the Colbert Report · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That is certainly what happened with Ultima 9. I see no reasy why Spore's release should be any different.

    Would have been better, but it's illegal.

    that may as well have been the writeup, because i don't understand a word of it.

    It seems strange to me that you complain about nerfs, then turn around and whine about "Fisher price difficulty"
