Sleeping through mundane, everyday sounds isn't quite the same as sleeping through a brick crashing through your window, or a predator ripping through the trees. There is a happy medium, not necessarily only one extreme or the other.

So you're saying these scans shouldn't be allowed?

I just wanted to congratulate you on being able to pronounce "route" correctly. I can't say the same for most, sadly.

You mean the one at the top-right corner of the page that says "Disable Advertising" that I haven't checked because the advertisements on this web site aren't overly annoying or obtrusive?

I'm more bothered by the PARTY LIKE IT'S 1989 layout on this web site that consistently breaks whenever I attempt to expand/collapse comments, or even do something so simple as post response.

In which case you may wish to revise your previous comment as follows: "And if I see flash it's a damn good indication noscript and/or adblock are broken."

Your comment prompted me to scroll to the top of this page.

Oh, look, a Flash advertisement.

I feel like this is probably the main reason most offices haven't gone paperless yet. Who works in most offices?

In the future, when nearly everyone alive has grown up dealing primarily with these virtual objects on their computer screens, I think we'll have a far more receptive audience for the paperless office.

I'd like to take this one step further: is there anyone who actually creates a new password when they have to change theirs? Mine are always another password I've used in the past, or a variation on the one I'm currently using.

I made a conscious effort several years ago to create a few very strong passwords and memorize them. I see no reason why I should have to change them.

My 0.002 cents

You echo my sentiments exactly, but I'm actually kind of curious if anyone could come up with a legitimate answer to that question. I've seen so many scams like this through the years and immediately brushed them off, as they were obvious, but others still get caught up in them.

I just feel like there's something I must be missing.

Wow, who cares about some pathetic meme structure? You're clearly not a writer.

Yo, dawg! I heard you like DLC, so we put DLC on your DVD in case you can't access it via TCP/IP!

Well, I was going to go analyze some images right now, but it seems the page won't load.....

....guess I'll just bookmark this one for later...
