    Yes, which is why I put the word "facts" in quotes.

    ... any good Linux administrator has handled customer boxes that have been thoroughly rooted, tossing your argument out the nearest window.

    Yea, never let 'facts' discourage your shitty joke-mongering. Forget about the gravity plating and intertial dampeners did you?

    Motion sensors and bidirectional (or outward opening) doors. Open the door with the kickplate (it's there for a reason, note other doors tend not to have one).

    Congratulations. You've avoided recontamination.

    Now, what about the toilet itself, or the paper you just wiped all over yourself? How does one keep that from being contaminated?

    Public restrooms are evil. I won't use one unless I -have- to.

    I've seen these. It's retarded.

    A football ad passes by, and a short phrase pops up in subtitles (only slightly related to the video, and usually extra stupid "It's awesome!").

    You can see an IR transfer with a camera or other optics. You can't see a $PROTOCOL transfer via 802.11.

    That said, either are less apparent than plugging into a random USB port that shouldn't be there.

    It's not the silicon that's the worry, it's the other materials that are doped in that makes it expensive, dangerous, or 'rare'.

    Senators will always get around it because they're either multimillionaires themselves with their own jets or they get to borrow private jets from big corporations that are getting "favors" from them.

    Doesn't matter. Even if it's your own plane, and you are the only one going to fly it, you still have to obey the rules.

    You never know, you might hijack yourself with that pocket knife!

    I rather tire of seeing the self-proclaimed geek elite decrying these users as "stupid" and "ignorant." No, they just have different value systems then the uber-security-conscious

    Just because they have a different value system doesn't make them right, or less stupid/ignorant...

    By -my- standards (the only standards that matter to me) they are.

    This depends if the inactivation of the receptors changes the survival rate. If it boosts it, after a nebulous threshold they will naturally overtake the "unvaccinated" population.

    If it proves a detriment, however, the odds of it doing that are much more diminished.

    Interesting read! Thanks!

    This fiber, does it have a channel in it, or do you use surface tension to puncture the surface and let the substance "suck" in? If neither, how do you actually get the fluid in there?
