    Sufferin' succotash, my brain will *only* imagine the word "Customerspliotation" as being spoken by Daffy Duck in a spray of saliva.

    And you know the empty heads on that show are a media creation, right? Many cast members are not even residents.

    See the "valley girl" phenomena of the 1980s for reference.

    How about a test for sociopathy (or whatever they're calling it now) before being declared fit to run for public office?

    Nah, the sociopaths would claim discrimination. And people would agree with them. Never mind.

    So what is good enough? Does the handful of millimeters manifest in any directly measurable way? Is there a natural amplifier? Maybe it's translated to increased horizontal incursion of the daily tides? I'm not on any side or a denier or anything here, but I have to admit some of the numbers tossed around on this issue sound like they're down in the noise. Maybe it's just my comm theory background talking.

    Hotspot! I see what you did there. Ha!

    Even the sea cannot resist the trendy go to locations along the Jersey shore!

    No worries. The ban in NYC on large sodas should reduce the amount of pee flowing into the ocean enough to counteract the sea level rise on a local level.

    *shrug* It is what it is. Personally, I use Mac OS, Windows and Linux (on a 200 node cluster) on a daily basis, so, you know, blow me, AC. Cheers. :)

    I'm talking about a specific group of people who hold a specific line of thought and do specific things.

    Which you have fully documented by monitoring their every post and reading their minds, I'm sure.

    OK, bored.

    Well, in all seriousness, one can't use pot kettle black if I parody Apple bashing because someone else NOT me does the opposite. I'm not responsible for what other kettles do. Despite how often it happens in political discussions, it doesn't really work to call a *group* of people hypocritical. You need to demonstrate that individuals in the group are being hypocritical and there's not just a difference of opinion within the group.

    You savvy?

    Yeah! Demons! Devils! I hope you remembered to shake your fist.

    Speaking of which - pot, kettle, black,

    Yeah, that whole pot kettle comment thing doesn't really work when you are talking about big, diverse groups of people.

    Any billionaire Slashdot readers, that is. Do guys like this do things like this just to get erections or something. Is it sex? I know a guy who does slightly sub millionaire business with a small string of gas stations, and he gets all the hot lasses he could ever want, so it can't be that. Maybe he's like the Plutonian, and just wants somewhere quiet.

    On the other hand, if he's planning a tropical island supervillain base, where do I send my resume?

    I'd be a hard working, go getting, self starting project lead of your Advanced Superweapons Division, Mr. Ellison!
