  1. Re:No it isn't on Study Finds DDoS Attacks Threaten Human Rights · · Score: 1

    How the hell is this not modded up when the parent of it is? The gp is rationalizing offensive maneuvers as passive protesting akin to peaceful civil rights rallies. The parent meanwhile shoots holes through this.

    How can't you turn off an iPhone? Did you lose your fingers or something?

  5. Re:Measurement opportunity on Single Software Licence Shared 774,651 Times · · Score: 2

    Too bad no one is offering it to you for free and the people selling games for $1 are likely struggling indie devs so you can't even use the "faceless corporation" argument :)

  6. Re:It's the other way around actually.. on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    That's funny. In the article I read, Assange's counsel was quoted saying their client did indeed rape some women and furthermore, he was being quite uncooperative with authorities.

  7. Re:Missing the point on Who Will Win Control of the Web? · · Score: 1

    Could you and the GP explain what it is about Facebook that makes you so angry when others use it? Do you think that given an opportunity, you would bar citizens from accessing Facebook, possibly because you look down on them or think it is for their own good? Keep in mind no one is making YOU use Facebook; I am inquiring about your anger at others' usage.

  8. Re:Lucky .... on Boy Finds £2.5M Gold Locket With Metal Detector · · Score: 1

    He put $1,000,000 which in the 90s was already wearing thin as a big number to anyone except a child and the bank owner was involved in shady dealings and thought that the kid was sent there by a gang to pick up the cash when he brought the check so he happily gave him the million in cash which obviously would normally not have been so easy.

    100 pushups? Tai chi?? Go on about athletic you guys all are; I'm truly amazed. Nothing like someone who is no doubt skinnyfat posting about how to be "lean" on the Internet :)

  10. Re:Abandon all your cash on Estonian Economist Suggests Abandoning Cash · · Score: 1

    I agree with you in principle but in NYC and other cities like Philadelphia, we can pay for cabs with credit/debit now :) however I also think that cash has it's purposes.

    Because powerful politician buying CEOs are driving themselves, right ? :)

  12. Re:It's a laxative! on US Army Develops Tooth Cleaning Gum · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never experienced the effects first hand then because I can tell you, if you go through too much Trident with xylitol gum, you will feel like absolute crap. The sugar alcohol content is high enough they print warnings on the label about it. I don't think it's far fetched to assume some people's sensitivity and the unknown actual amount in these tooth brushing MRE chewing gum supplements (which was probably pretty high since it was made to clean teeth) would lead to the gum acting as a laxative.

  13. Re:We've had this for a long time on US Army Develops Tooth Cleaning Gum · · Score: 1

    Almost all our chewing gum has xylitol these days (or some sugar alcohol or something like xylitol).

    Bubble gum is different, but chewing gum (like "adult" gum) is all marketed as being good for teeth and stuff

  14. Re:It's a laxative! on US Army Develops Tooth Cleaning Gum · · Score: 2, Informative

    If it contains xylitol, then it IS a laxative (as a side effect)

  15. Re:wha? more social? on Sex Drugs and Texting · · Score: 1

    I don't understand? If you have a lot of friends and connections you talk to a lot of people and probably are confident enough to talk to women at a younger age and boldheaded enough to do things illegal like drugs since your peers are using them. When someone, especially a teen, finds themselves surrounded by a peer group, they will likely do all of these things (sex and drugs). The amount they will text and otherwise communicate with their peers increases with the number of peers they have. Someone without many peers wont talk to as many people and therefore text less and also do less things (because a smaller peer group in high school most likely correlates to a less "popular" and more fringe group).

  16. Re:Heh on Sex Drugs and Texting · · Score: 1

    No wonder they end up socializing in someone else's bed a bit sooner than kids that don't feel the need to tell others what they feel, think or do 100 times a day.

    Despite you're correct opinion, you still manage to spin talking to people, albeit on the phone, as a selfish and bad thing. Why? Why is socializing some sort of information pollution that affects you? Conversations aren't telling people how you feel 100 times a day and thats a jaded view to have despite your admittance that these people will get to experience more of life than someone who remains chaste to social interaction and fun

  17. Re:Not quite.. on Sex Drugs and Texting · · Score: 1

    Yeah but regardless, when you are in high school, there is always that nagging part of you that wishes you were "popular" in the getting laid and hanging out with the "cool" kids way. Even if you have fun in other ways, its pretty standard to look at movies and popular kids and wish you were the one having fun (in the Abercrombie sexualized teen way) in high school.

    Day 104: Things have been getting weird ever since I joined his raiding party. He trusts me. They all trust me. Well, except Cranston the Night Elf. I can tell he suspects something.

    I'm starting to forget who I am. I've been getting deeper into cheetos. I miss my wife. I can't believe how long I've spent playing someone else.

    Maybe you should kill yourself. You obviously have no clue how "people" and "society" work so you aren't doing anything by continuing to waste oxygen and if we misinterpret Darwin and look at eugenics, you honestly should commit suicide for the good of the gene pool :)
