Dear numbnuts (and I have no choice, but to assume that you are literally so stupid, that your nuts have gone numb as an involuntary, biological reflex, that is tasked with preventing your stupidity from polluting future generations),

In regard to your criticism [that it]:

Please explain how the windspeed of "the average winter storm on the Oregon Coast" has fuckall to do with the average windspeeds as experienced by the East Coast (and the regulations guiding the engineering of their infrastructure), along with how winterstorms -- which generally result in exhibiting snowfall -- has fuckall to do with the rainfall produced by summer storms.

Additionally, please discuss (with examples) tools that should have been used as a means of providing an accurate prediction of expected windspeeds: 48 hours, 36 hours, 24 hours, and 12 hours in advance of the storm making landfall.

Answers to essay questions may be provided in as many words as the student requires in order to answer the question with full intellectual honesty, along with proof that they're not an armchair, hind-sighted, fucking idiot.

...would have been if all Tokyans(sp?) disconnected their phone-calls at random throughout the day as a tribute to King Steve's mandate that a phone -- even one in it's 4th revision -- shouldn't have a founding principle of being able to maintain a phone simple connection.

I have a photo of my penis on LinkedIn with a caption: "If you hire me, you get this, and 5 inches more!"

So far, all I've received as spam, and one har-dee-har, "So all we get is 5 inches?"

I hate to "steam" you even more, but NASA disagrees with your "JWSC !- Hubble successor" belief.

Webb often gets called the replacement for Hubble, but we prefer to call it a successor. After all, Webb is the scientific successor to Hubble; its science goals were motivated by results from Hubble. Hubble's science pushed us to look to longer wavelengths to "go beyond" what Hubble has already done. In particular, more distant objects are more highly redshifted, and their light is pushed from the UV and optical into the near-infrared.

...which is the first paragraph on their page addressing whether or not Webb is Hubble's successor. I don't mean to imply that they're an authoritative voice or anything on the subject, but surely their opinion should be weighed into your semantics argument?

and he'll put funding for it as the first item on his presidential agenda. Word on the Hill is that the jobs plan Romney's announcing in September involves putting a sizable number of Americans to work building his spaceship so that he can scope out an appropriate location for his galactic rule; funding for a measly telescope seems like a natural fit, no?

up to Alaska. If only a new compelling reason to make this happen would present itself to us.

A god that demanded the murder of infants, gives him...hope? That's a normal mental condition?

While this may be true:

This isn't:

From the KB warning:

"Vulnerabilities exist in how the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service and the BlackBerry Messaging Agent process PNG and TIFF images for rendering on the BlackBerry smartphone. Successful exploitation of any of these vulnerabilities might allow an attacker to gain access to and execute code on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Depending on the privileges available to the configured BlackBerry Enterprise Server service account."

Access to the besadmin account gives an attacker all sorts of access to the server. That account has sendas permissions on all users mailboxes, can make configuration changes to the BES configuration, including changing device settings, and pushing applications to the devices.

It really wouldn't be all that hard to completely compromise an organization's Blackberry configuration -- server and device -- and there's a good chance that you'd be able to escalate privileges onto other servers within the network.

Sadly, the subject-line of this post is more interesting than everything already posted on Google+ combined with everything that will ever be posted on Google+.

tl;dr: I took a shit!

to just buy the CEO a pair of clip-on sideburns?

Pro-tip: "all the latest windows updates" don't install updates for java, adobe reader, or adobe flash.

When did I say that all information should be free? Care to quote me?
When did I say that I have a right to know everything? Care to quote me?
When did I say that an organization or an individual wanting to keep something secret is in and of itself evil? Care to quote me?

That's quite a lot of inferring you did there, and none of it's remotely accurate. Excellent job, champ.

But please tell me how it's beneficial for people not to know rhat Lockheed was broken into through an RSA vulnerability? Please tell me how it's beneficial to current users of RSA's product to know the extent to which they are at risk. I encourage you to answer both questions directly in lieu of making half-assed inferences.

What exactly is your problem with people revealing information that organizations would rather keep hidden?

And what exactly is your evidence that you're not a moron?

It's a site dedicated toward electing Democrats, and discussing Democratic Party principles. Yes, it is true, as per the site's FAQ, that it is not a site where non-Democratic Party principles are discussed. Just like NASA forums don't spend time arguing over whether the moon is or is not made of cheese, DailyKos doesn't rehash base philosophies that have already been agreed upon. If you think the site is a "sandbox", you've never read it, are only pretending to have read it, or don't understand the concept of what is or what is not "off-topic." There is quite a schism among users regarding any major issue: from President Obama's handling of extending Bush's tax cuts for income over $250000, the Senate's and the President's handling of health care reform, to the handling of Libya, to the handling of Osama Bin Laden's capture. The site is anything but a consensus, there's much disagreement (which is what you get in a "big tent" party), and you're being wholly disingenuous to state otherwise. I'm sorry that you apparently got banned from the site. How many sockpuppets have you had to go through?

Both require users to spend some time contributing to the site before they're awarded the ability to mod: over here it's by acquiring 'karma', and at dkos, it's by acquiring 'mojo'. An advantage, imho, of the kos model is you get to see who upranked any given comment. This allows you to see which mods are abusing their privilege to mod up trolls, as well as to see what little cliques exist who spend their time uprating their friend's comments regardless of content, or downrate their internet-enemies' comments.

Slashdot has the issue of anonymous cowards. It has it's benefits, I'm sure, but it makes driveby trolling a hell of a lot easier. Is there any means to report a chronic troll? Is there any backend slash-fu to try to detect sockpuppets beyond IP?

And then you have sites like Boingboing: an idiot mod protecting the fee-fee's of idiot writer's like Xeni and Cory when they make idiot remarks about topics they'd like to pretend they have any expertise on.
