Well, a Cat5 hurricane heading straight at you might allow you to envision some of the possibilities.
The only ones I don't hold responsible for not getting out of the way were old or disabled people. The able-bodied people wading around afterwards should have been able to put 2+2 together and flee.
I think one explination I heard was that the bus drivers all fled. Well, OK...how about if you can drive, take a bus and fill it up! WTF? Isn't that better than leaving them to be flooded out? How much you think those cost to replace?
So you swing a little wider on turns...it isn't that hard to drive one...have you seen some of the people they hire?
I'm pretty sure sleeping in the car in Anywhere, USA is better than sitting on your roof waiting to be rescued (or wading through sewage...can you say bladder infection?).
Actually, what's amazing is that they just decided that now there's something interesting? WTF have they been doing for 20+ years? Pulling their puds? Obviously they must have been if they managed to screw up the data so they can't retrieve it anymore.
Good going guys, thanks for looking out! BTW, can we have you repay us for not doing your jobs?
I'm glad this current researcher found something worth looking at more closely, even if it's only.01%
Rare coins, loads of my dead husband's tools, the large screen plasma TV, antique silverware, huge gun collection (I can't shoot so they do me no good).
I'm on prescription medicine (vicodin, Percaset, Demerol), so no calls before noon please. Contact me for prices. Cash only please, I have plenty of money to make change!

Ah yes, I can't see any reason for someone to target that nice old lady.
Oh, I don't know....maybe it was the yellow liquid that was seeping out under the door? You're right though, it would be the third eye in the middle of his forehead that would be the give away...not his nose.
Delicate tiles? What? Are they made out of...sugar? Snapping them with a touch of the finger? WTF? Are you HIGH?
What I want to know is.... who the hell designed this tile shield? A pack of retarded monkeys? Why in hell would you spec a tile that when patched, becomes more likely to fail?
I'm old enough to remember the first shuttle landing when a half dozen of the little bastards fell off. I remember thinking it was a fluke, since it was the first flight and all. Ha! They can get them to stick on, but now they can't seem to keep ice and foam from damanging things.
Honestly, why do I feel like this thing is made from leftover spare Yugo parts?
No, I'm not a rocket scientist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
Except, isn't this exactly what wasn't going to be made public?
I don't really give a shit one way or the other. What pisses me off is that the guy in charge can't just say the truth. If you fucked up on the website, say so. You're not that good of a salesman to try that doubletalk bullcrap and get away with it.
...get fiercely competitive when forced to share their pot with strangers of the same species, but they're accommodating when potted with their siblings. [...]
So they don't mind sharing their pot with siblings, but get hostile when they have to share thier pot with strangers of the same species?
I know how they feel.
Wait..what are we talking about? Plants? OH..That kind of pot...I thought you meant....nevermind.
Oh? You can think a few moves ahead? Really? So ok, pick any subject from today's NY Times and give me a prediction for 6 months from now. Make sure you're accurate and send a copy to the appropriate authorities so they're informed as well.
Thank you for saying (in more detail than I planned) exactly what I was thinking....solar in Canada makes no sense to me. When you need the power the most, (winter), you have the least amount of input (sunlight) for that geographic location.
I believe I read (maybe here) that HP printer cartriges had a chip on them that would report to the computer that they were out of ink, when in fact they were not, to get you to buy another over priced cartrige
I thought that was Lexmark cartridges and I thought one other "feature" was that there was an expiration date on the ink....WTF? After a period of time (30 months or so I thought), the cart would complain that it was beyond it's prime date for use and suggest (or require, I can't remember) that you get a new cartridge.
There are all sorts of things wrong with this besides the obvious of a cartridge telling you it's too old...one being how the freak does a cart KNOW what the date is? I guess there could be some sort of interaction between the cart and the print software checking a hard coded date on the cartridge itself...who knows. This would also assume that the PFY at Staples or Office Max would rotate stock correctly and not stick some poor schmoe with an "outdated" cart.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I read the same thing the OP did and I thougt it was on slashdot 3 or 4 years ago.
People's natural tendency is to seek the cheap (or easy) route now, giving far less weight to the long term.
Generally I agree unless you've taken it up the ass (i.e. not got what you bargained for....clogged jets after two weeks of inactivity, three color cartridges that you use one color primarily and end up with two colors you hardly ever use being almost full but have to buy a new cart because trying to refill and it never works out....miserable pricks who decided all three in one was a great idea).
Sorry about the run-on sentence, but you get the idea.
Then, you become a wiser shopper and at least slow down and think it through before knee jerking and getting the cheapest model.

That's a straw man arugment and you know it.
The fact is, the freakin clown was asked repeatedly to follow instructions by the cops, he refused so he got what he had coming.
Screw him, they should have tasered his nuts so he wouldn't comtaminate the population with his offspring.

I agree, there's enough WTF to go around.
The chain saws were for the death matches, of course.
Or perhaps, someone was expecting Zombies!
It's just a little joke pople, nothing to see here....

Yeah, that's what Mike Vick was doing....raising dogs to sniff cancer in other dogs....Yeah, that's the ticket.

Ah yes, I can't see any reason for someone to target that nice old lady.
Why would his nose grow?
Oh, I don't know....maybe it was the yellow liquid that was seeping out under the door? You're right though, it would be the third eye in the middle of his forehead that would be the give away...not his nose.
I'm pretty sure I deployed some "Dark Fiber" this morning when I got my coffee and cigarette.
Say hi to Mr. Hanky when you see him.
No, not really but it's a thought.
Thank you....finally someone stating the obvious.
Delicate tiles? What? Are they made out of...sugar? Snapping them with a touch of the finger? WTF? Are you HIGH?
What I want to know is.... who the hell designed this tile shield? A pack of retarded monkeys? Why in hell would you spec a tile that when patched, becomes more likely to fail?

Shouldn't your tag line read:
"Resistance is Fertile; You will be inseminated"
Conversations and results are public.

How dare you assume to know what people need vs. what they want.
Fuck you and your argument.
Well, when I think of Politics...I think of Slashdot.
Ok, so someone want to tell me how in the fuck this has anything to do with technology?
Not so sure if this is a good idea....the last thing I want is an overdeveloped toaster oven pissing and moaning about doing work.
Really, would you want C3PO as a work companion?
Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch

And I would suggest the opposite is true as well.
Don't believe me? Try suggesting that global warming (choose one) is / is not being caused by humans.
Both sides of the extreme can usually not tolerate the other side's opinion.
