    Right, but now you have to live right next to mordor.

    The question was not how one could earn 8K, but how someone like you could. I forgot that I wasn't talking to my potted plants and should have dumbed down my wording even more.

  3. Re:Was it a cause of his legal trouble? on Our Low-Tech Tax Code · · Score: 1, Funny

    Just out of curiosity, how do you manage to "earn" 8K a year. You obviously don't have enough marketable skills or even higher order brain functioning to command that amount. If it is indeed possible, than I have a few potted plants in my living room that I think I need to have start pulling their own weight.

  4. Re:Science or Religion? on A Warming Planet Can Mean More Snow · · Score: 1

    Really. One of my neighbors has a Phd in some field of electronics. A few years ago his furnace broke and he actually dissembled the entire thing trying to find out what the problem was. It took the HVAC guy most of a day to reassemble the thing. This is just one reason that I have no problem making statements about PhD's I've never met, who try to make claims of authority on subjects they know nothing about.

    Really, which book? I knew I remembered hearing a similar quote, but couldn't for the life of me remember where.

    Reality is that which continues on, even if you don't believe in it.

    Quick question? Are you actually ignorant enough to think that reality bases itself on a misleading poll, or are you just whoring for someone in order to prevent having to take responsibility for your actions?

    I hope you realize that trying to cover from an idiotic remark by bragging about irrelevant degrees pretty much consigns you to ridicule.

    I take it that's the current bullet point explanation that is used to prevent you from having to say "It's cheaper over there and we don't have to give a damn who gets hurt because of it"?

    and exactly which agile development system legitimizes lazy engineering practices. the ones I'm familiar with do no such things, although it is sometimes hard to get the point hairs to realize that they actually have to know what they are doing instead of simply pushing all of their decisions off until the end.

    I have incriminating information on my computer so I'm supposed to download and run some closed-source software from people who now know I have this information, and it will make my problems go away. Right.....

  17. Re:Is there a niche for this? on Ads To Offset Cost of Unlocked Google Phone? · · Score: 1

    Funny, I don't fit into any of those categories and I pay about $6.00 a month for my phone. It's just that some of us have more important things to do with out money than pay a fortune for something like a phone.

    I guess that explains why Somalia with it's lack of regulation is such an economic powerhouse while you are left trying to figure out how to scrape by without screwing over everyone around you for a quick buck.

  19. Re:I don't blame them on Apple Voiding Smokers' Warranties? · · Score: 1

    I've always thought the residue was more or less sticky. This would make it less likely to aerosolize, although I'd certainly wash my hands when I'm done. I wouldn't be surprised if excessive smoking would void a warranty. Many years ago our TV made a loud pop and stopped working. It turns out that all of the candles my mom burned created a layer of soot that shorted out the high voltage section.

    In other words, you like to hire ethically challenged people who are willing to break the law for your profit. Please tell us where you work so we know better than to be associated with such an ethically deprived individual.
