How is this odd? The last thing I ever want to do with my pistol (Or, hey, my AK-47 style rifle, for that matter, but I own that rifle mainly for kicks) is to end a human life.

The fact that I own a gun for self defense does not imply that I actively want to kill an intruder breaking into my house.

I wouldn't post a sign outside that said "rob me" and I wouldn't place my $2000 guitar and $2500 computer in the front fucking window of my house for this same reason. For that matter, I can't do anything about the possibility of theft while I'm not at home.

(See also: the reason I threw away the box to my 50" television in a dumpster instead of leaving the box on the street in front of my house for a day)

Protecting oneself is not an invitation for an attack.

You! You've got too much dopamine in your system. Stop it!

Studies have been conducted which claim female pornstars are not only much more likely to rate themselves as happy with their personal sex lives than an average american woman, but also that they rate themselves as happier overall.

I can cite if you need but I'll have to find the article.

Someone remotely hijacks your driverless automobile. They drive it into a coffeeshop. Are you to blame?

None of these are good logos. Almost all of them are good tributes. I vote for either the pre-October logo or a new, good, logo.

I mean no offense to any of the contributors - I like almost all of them a lot, but I don't think they make good permanent logos.

Getting caught plagiarizing once is reason for expulsion where I go.

s'pect is short for suspect, chief.

Here is another of Heinlein's assessments:

Never try and teach a pig to sing: it's a waste of time, and it annoys the pig.

Hey, uh, if you're getting a woman/girl pregnant while you're making $10/HR, I'd say that falls under the umbrella of 'personal irresponsibility,' and would be You and the female's fault, not society's.

I find the iPad too small for several uses. I would love a tablet with an 8.5x11" useable screen.

Before Win7, we had a "quick launch" toolbar, which is a little different than the OSX style dock/taskbar present in Win7. The Win7 implementation is better IMO.

I don't know if you'd lump the window previews with this or not, but that was a new feature in 7 as well.

I think there are studies which refute your assertion.

So you couldn't figure out Calculus, but you ended up with an MBA?

...pretty much sums it up.

I didn't pay any money for Apple's dev tools. Are you referring to the fee required to publish an application?
