Here in Australia, laser pointers above 1mW are considered prohibited weapons [...]
Wow. Where I am (NYS), 5mW key-ring combination laser/white LEDs the size of a pen cap sell for US$2-3 on the counter of most convenience stores and service stations I frequent.
Again you sound like a total asshole. Old people like warm weather because their circulatory systems suck, and they feel cold all the time.
I'm sorry; as person who takes ageism seriously, that was not my intention. Please forgive my ignorance of these specifics.
I was not trying to blame the victim (as you claimed); rather, I am perplexed as to why vast numbers of would-be victims would congregate in a state that perpetrates the pattern of abuse you described. It seems to me that the cooler climate of Georgia (for example,) would provide a net-positive trade-off. (Please note that I'm only discussing people who move into Florida post-retirement).
Lawyers mismanaging senior citizen trust funds is rampant in Florida, and there's absolutely nothing that family members can do about it.
Well, seniors could not move to Florida, no? Is there an unwritten rule that hordes of seniors must move to Florida?
What's the attraction, anyway? Don't tell me it's the weather... Anyone with a desire to experience Floridian weather can just hang out in the bathroom wearing big boxy sunglasses with a couple 500W halogen shop lamps and the shower running hot water full-blast.
Seconded. Code Complete improved the quality of my work more than any other book I've read. It's worth its weight in high-quality code you wrote after reading Code Complete.

To piss you off, apparently.

No, the horizon-widening porn is called scat. Don't google it!
Why not, I love that shit.
Ba-dum, tish...

22 fucking kw/day? do you drive all-electric cars? are you growing pot man?
Reread his post; dj245 said 22kWh per day. (22kWh)/(24h/day) ~ 917W continuous draw.

What a bunch of self-absorbed attention whores.
Scientific American supports your assessment; Facebook lusers are indeed self-absorbed attention whores:

The majority of people on facebook are well adjusted, sociable people. [...] Methinks you're projecting.

When I was a kid, I used to think Milk was cow piss
Nice way to change the topic to "The dismal state of education in this country"...
Thanks, you just made me snarf my cow piss.
Actually, McVeigh was a mass-murderer and Whitman was a spree-killer.
We don't need leeches.
Agreed; we need seeders.
