  1. nope on Utah Mulls a Database of Bar Customers · · Score: 1
    Heroin ODs cause seizures and stuff if it's a newbie user. You have to have built up a bit of a tolerance to slide into oblivion instead of shaking your way out.

    I know this because my "if I ever get AIDS" plan (prior to marriage) was to go out via heroin. Yes, I am an idiot. Thanks for asking

  2. actually on Utah Mulls a Database of Bar Customers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Lethal injection is considered humane because no pain is felt.

    There's a fair bit of debate in this point, leading to a Supreme Court case. Lethal Injection Potentially Not Painless

  3. When I was 17. . . on Comcast Apologizes For Super Bowl Porn Glitch · · Score: 5, Funny

    When I was 17 my father said the following: "the reason God made kids so cute is so people would have more than one of them before they turned into teenagers."

  5. you missed the textiles market on Marijuana Could Prevent Alzheimer's, New Study · · Score: 1

    Textile farmers stood to lose a ton if they weren't growing hemp.

    D3 is actually more common than D4 - any 6 sided die can represent it.

  8. Hi. on Interview With an Adware Author · · Score: 1

    That, and linux fanboys are easier to ply into helping me and they have social skills. Windows programmers... I don't know what's wrong with them but it's like they core dump at the sight of tits and only offer condescending advice. I sure hope they fix that bug someday.

    Just because you experience sexism as a female in IT, doesn't mean you have to adopt the same attitudes towards your male counterparts and perpetuate the cycle.

  9. re: Meet The Parents on Interview With an Adware Author · · Score: 1
    The thing that drove me apeshit about that movie is the fact that no fiance worth having would treat her future husband with such utter disregard.

    DeNiro was funny but that chick should have been kicked to the curb post-haste, along with her crazy fucking family.

  10. This is about generic software development on More Than Coding Errors Behind Bad Software · · Score: 1

  11. re: I respectfully disagree by anecdote on How Will Recent Financial Downturns Affect IT Jobs? · · Score: 1
    (This is an anecdote but I believe there's actual studies that back my point up)

    Working in school was critical for me not for experience (I worked at 7-11) but for the structure it brought the extremely unstructured college lifestyle.

    Because I had limited hours (most eaten up by work or school) I had to actively schedule my studies and homework to make sure they got done in the limited time I had.

    The one semester I didn't work my grades were awful. Part of the problem was that I procrastinated my way into Ds. "I have 100s of hours of free time, why squander these with studying?" Quickly turned into "oh shit, I only have 8 hours to study for this test!".

  12. I'd chalk it up to miscommunication on NSA Patents a Way To Spot Network Snoops · · Score: 1
    It's not a reading comp. thing. Here's his quote:

    If the gov't only did bad, well we know what happend the last time we got really pissed at our gov't.

    My point was the last few times the gov't did really bad (Civil War the most notable) the revolt was shut down with extreme prejudice by said government. Arguing that "since we haven't had a revolution in a while it can't be all bad" is a little amusing, don't you think?

  13. Re: the idea of revolution on NSA Patents a Way To Spot Network Snoops · · Score: 1

    is laughable at this point. . . the last REAL insurrection was the Civil War and it was put down with extreme prejudice. Expect the same for more, which is why the whole idea of threatening revolution is amusing.

  14. Re:the last time we got really pissed at our gov on NSA Patents a Way To Spot Network Snoops · · Score: 1
    Was that in 1968?

    Or maybe in 1861? Because the idea you were referring to the American Revolution is a bit of a chuckle.

  15. Re: Wishbone Ash on Warner Music Pulls Videos Off YouTube · · Score: 1
    Wishbone Ash used to open for Tull in the 70s . . . they tended to steal the show.

    I'd look into Gentle Giant (from the same era) and Hawkwind if you're into Wishbone Ash. (also if you like HEAVY prog stuff, Baroness's first album was released this year and it's freakin' awesome. Helmet meets Rush? Yes, please.)

  16. no accounting for taste on RIAA To Stop Prosecuting Individual File Sharers · · Score: 1
    While I agree with your statement:

    that RIAA fare's quality has dropped far more than their sales have (with one or two exceptions, ...

    I have to lol at:

    Out of ALL the RIAA offerings, these are the two paragons of quality? *chuckle*

  19. If legal (dilute) alternatives were made available on Time To Discuss Drug Prohibition? · · Score: 1
    The problems aren't as severe. Sure, people will always shoot heroin just like (some) people drink everclear.

    But if the organic alternatives were available - coca leaf, poppy tea, marijuana - I believe you'd see more of those and less cocaine/crack/heroin.

    Remember, the Hard Stuff is smuggled because of the risk/reward ratio - nobody's shoving bails of coca leaf up their ass to get through customs. (ruins the taste!)

  20. credit your quote, plagiarist on Unhappy People Watch More TV · · Score: 1

    Bill Hicks.

  21. huh? on On the Economics of the Kindle · · Score: 1

    One issue was that the other person I was reading with used a different font and when I'd try to ask opinions of things I'd find that the numbering system was inconsistent because of the font difference - that sucked!

    That's why they use locations - locations are absolute and don't depend on your font size. I'm a new Kindle user so maybe I'm missing something here, but the problem you're referring to is solved, I thought.
    Unless, of course, locations are dynamic to the individual Kindles. . . but that seems really stupid.

  25. it's still a massive fail on Fallout 3 Launches Amidst Controversy · · Score: 1
    The creators of Heroes could have at least LOOKED at the comic book hero genre to determine that power absorption is ridiculously powerful.

    Instead, we're stuck with stupider and stupider "plot devices" to make the series extend past "Then Pete blows up the bad guys, travels in time to set everything right, and has sex with the cheerleader."

    P.s. I know stupider isn't havening a word
