WHOAH. No library card? That would be a different, and very serious story. We can't let just anyone use a library computer without a card.
It's, you know, government property and such.
My money is never. Forced Anon is on, therefore, there would be no way to figure out which post was by the bots, unless you knew the photo source, and the comment pool. Which defeats the purpose of the test. At least in a Turing test, you have a name next to whatever is being said, even if it is Person on Other Side of Screen. 4chan, everyone is Anonymous. Shit, you can forget your own posts just as easy, too.
And if it used a sig, it'd be dead in the water within moments.
From the article:
Likewise, Natalie Portman -- beloved of geek fanboys worldwide since long before her Star Wars turns -- is an accomplished psychology student with two published papers under her belt, but psych isn't strictly a science or tech pursuit. (Waaahbulances will please park in the designated Comments section.) Hot grits, etc.
So...when I saw that Nintendo quote, the wording ("Commented Nintendo in a statement") really reminded me of Yoda. So I took the entire quote and put it through a Text-to-Yoda website, and got this...
Of counterfeit Nintendo products seized from retailers and manufacturing plants in China through the years despite the millions, only been one criminal prosecution, there has. Numerous factories, seized, where tens of thousands of counterfeit Nintendo products were, with only trivial fines or no penalty at all escaped. Hmmmmmm.
Pigs taste good.
Shamelessly lifted from imdb: a Pulp Fiction quote.
Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own feces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?
You know, if I hand you $5 on the street, you're legally obligated to report that income, right?
Just like Richard Hatch was- you know, the (naked) guy from Survivor who won $1 million, only to not put it on his tax return?
So, does Harry Whittington get combat experience? He did get shot...and he was shooting...not to mention the tactics involved in NOT TELLING PEOPLE WITH GUNS WHERE YOU ARE.
Ditto to the parent- msconfig is a good friend of mine, after i convince him to do what i want. Once i kill everything that i don't recognize and reboot, things fly. At least at initial startup. I get surprised how often it seems as if random letters were thrown together for a file name...
Slightly off-topic, but didn't Microsoft do this same thing with Firefox? I seem to remember a slashdot article on it...ah, here is is: Microsoft AntiSpyware thinks Firefox is Spyware Hey! It's from a year and 6 days ago! Fancy that...
I feel compelled to point out how the researchers are only following the programming. The mice knew this would happen, most likely, and so they were prepared to meet their fate. It's all part of the plan.
Furthermore, there is very obviously no cruelty going on here- when was the last time YOU heard of a lesser being killing a pan-dimensional and much more intelligent being and having it labeled as cruelty? It's kinda like getting pissed at the tiger who kills the man and saying the tiger was cruel and inhumane.

I thought that in the end, there can be only one?

Seriously, where's my bloody ponies?

They closed the pool? Why? ...
That was the House. This, however, is the Senate. Two different beasts entirely.
Great, now when I get rickrolled, I'll have to sit through a related commercial. Uh...what exactly is related to Rick Astley? Anyone?
Like so many things, Runescape is easy to start. And really hard to quit.
I cite it as my sole reason for vowing to never touch WoW for fear of being anywhere near as badly addicted as I was to Runescape.
How about: "A geek gets it done, and a nerd doesn't." (Earthlink commercial, IIRC)
IIRC, that's one of the "Missing Option" posts for the current poll.

IIRC, there was something like this last year....
Although i could be thinking of the "wireless extension cords" on ThinkGeek...
So...the ISS is a moon now?
But... That's no moon. It's a space station.
It's finally snowing in DC. I'm psyched. 2 inches...is not much. (I used to live in upstate NY...) But it's something.

Blame God.

Here's the Wikipedia article for those who forgot: Richard Hatch (directly pointed at relevant section)
He's in jail now, and has another 3 years or so left. (I'm going to avoid the obvious gay + prison joke for an AC.)
Let's just hope Second Lifer's like Ms. Chung don't forget to put things like this on their tax return.

Z does stand for good things. Violence is a good thing, especially when it's something certain gamers look for. Like, say, myself.
You know y'all loved the Postal series. At least your id did. There's no denying it.
I feel obligated to point you towards this, a contest hosted by mastercard in which you make your own mastercard-esque ad.
I truly feel that you guys are on to something, and i might just have to start watching ads to see if yours makes it.

I'm talking about Cheney, FYI.
