And what about if those words were being used for legitimate purposes? (Admittedly, I can't think of any legitimate reason most people would do so)
One instantly comes to mind: keytool -keygen
Filtering out the obvious obscene words and words limited to sex is trivial. It's the nature of the search engine, unfortunately. If I'm an inexperienced Googler, and I search for "cracks" as in "pavement", I'm bound to get a lot of questionable, and non-pavement-related material.
I agree. I just dropped Netflix after sitting on the same three DVDs for a month or two. I just don't have the time, and like you, I put something on my queue today that looks enticing, and when I get it two days later, I'm no longer interested.
Not to mention, of course, that Netflix simply doesn't fulfill the "I'm bored, let's go rent a movie" activity.
I, too, work for a rather large Fortune 500 company, and we have one member that telecommutes. Sure, the rest of us would like to, but it's frowned upon. Even though our one telecommuter is arguably the brightest, most talented, and hardest-working engineer, I still catch little glimmers of phrases along the lines of "anyone know what he's up to?" That type of garbage.
And, no, it's not me (sadly).
Give it another ten years or so, when companies finally get their heads out of their collective asses and realize they can outsource jobs to intelligent people that live in rural areas for a salary somewhere in between what they're paying their silicon-valley people and their Indian script-readers.
One could also argue that making counterpoints against arguments that criticise the current administration by hilighting errors in the previous administration, solely because you feel that antagonists of the current administration hold their beliefs because they are on the other side of the proverbial aisle is fucking asinine.
BTW, it's kind of strange to see the same people asserting that (while you didn't do so, explicitely) mice etc are "thinking", feeling creatures just like you and me, while they also state that they are useless as laboratory models, because of "all the differences".
I think you miss the point. They are creatures capable of thought, and they feel pain, but that does not make them "just like you and me". It makes them deserving of compassion. Merely because some might make the claim that an animal deserves compassion and a decent level of respect, that doesn't mean they are human-like or that they are being placed in the same realm as humans.
are innefective. Animals are simply too different from humans. Placing human brain cells in them to make them more similar is like putting a hat on them and saying "Look, they're little cowboys!"
Mice don't exist so that we can use them as disposable commodities.

Oh, that's right, I forgot.
Facts are liberally biased.
No, seriously. What copy-and-paste bug?

P.S.,
And don't get raped. And don't get a bad transfusion from a third-world hospital.
Tell me, Mr. Dobson, just what exactly goes on in that little head of yours.
Mine does; Fortune 500.
Someone please mod this AC up, so more people can see it. eMusicj is a great tool.

My example co-worker comes in for a week or two about three or four times a year.

Are you new?
Guess that means that hardly anyone is interested in this bloated (and stupid mono-based) technology, hmm?
I guess digg was right. Slashdot is dying.

Holy shit, stop the presses.
All blogs were already spam. Now it's just unashamedly so.
I'm sure you'd rather have the bimonthly "Funded study states Windows [faster|more secure|cheaper] than Linux" story?
