    This is just to make bloggers feel comfortable, some other law will make it legal to get sources from transmissions or somthing.

    So all pointy-haired bosses would pay a higher rate regardless of BMI and bodyfat, while the non-bastard fatsos are let off. Sounds fair to me!


    Bosses are exempt, if you have a problem with that you should have majored in Business instead of Programming.
  6. Re:What's the problem? on Charging the Unhealthy More For Insurance · · Score: 5, Funny

    Agreed, & I have a solution.

    We should gather every employee in a room & stand them on a table one-by-one, if the majority of the room thinks that person is a fat bastard, that person gets charged more.

    What the hell's the point of a Jury verdict if the Judge can just throw it out ?

  8. Hike on Hiring Programmers and The High Cost of Low Quality · · Score: 1

    All of this pays huge dividends when the next developer has to pick up where they left off. Especially if the next person isn't an expert.

    Yeah, that 25% tax you see there on the bottom, is to cover outsourcing insurance.
  9. Re:Repeal instead of attract. on British Scientists Reverse Casimir Effect · · Score: 1

    Shhh, letting them into politics where they're in the spotlight & everyone can watch them ensures they don't get any bright ideas like becomming scientists or engineers. ;)

  10. Usefull sites ? on Netcraft Says IIS Gaining on Apache · · Score: 1

    I want to know what percentage of the sites queried consist of anything more than Adsense landing pages & directories full of directories.

    Sending a spider to one bad directory can give you 30,000 trash domains in very little time.

  14. What's the big deal ? on Lawyer Thinks Microsoft Can Evade GPL 3 · · Score: 1

    I read through the GPLV3 & it looks like just about any other license, what's so different about V3 that it would be such a large problem for Microsoft ?

  18. Re:HuH on 'Til Tech Do Us Part · · Score: 1

    Pay some kid to put superglue on the toilet seat in a resturaunt before she goes, guarenteed she'll be more than happy to check the seat every time she goes no matter where she is after she has to be plucked from the seat in public.

  19. Re:Jesus Christ on 'Til Tech Do Us Part · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Exactly why I support my local pre-paid hookers.

    You may joke about me paying an outragous amount for service, but at least I'm not stuck with a long term contract that's guarenteed to suffer a reduction of service quality over the life of the contract.

  20. Rediculas on Bill Would Reverse Bans On Municipal Broadband · · Score: 1

    Municipalities interested in getting into the broadband business would also have to solicit feedback from the private sector on planned deployments.'

    there is an obesity epidemic right now and while there are a multitude of reasons for it, lack of good role models isn't one of them, IMHO

    You're absolutely right, it's not easy reaching young girls these days with everything that's in the media, they don't go for candy anymore.

  25. Re:And what do horoscopes have to do with science? on Winnie Wrote a Math Book · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There actually is some degree of astronomy science in astrology, and yes, it involves math and geometry. How many of you know that Halloween falls near 15-degrees Scorpio, and what that actually means, mathematically speaking?


    It means there's some funky lightbeams comming from Scorpio & we need to invade it or the terrorists win.
