In my opinion, a dishwasher is to washing dishes as a Roomba is to vacuum cleaning.

They cannot do the whole job, and not at the same level as a human being. In a restaurant you can actually notice if they use a dishwasher or not for glasses, knives etc.

Can't we add this APK guy to our hosts file or something?

And lack of Unicode support.

Like toilet paper?

Yup.

See also the interesting number paradox. If there is a collection of numbers you can define as non-interesting, because they lack any properties you consider useful or interesting, then being in that collection makes them special in some way, so they aren't really non-interesting anymore.

In the same way, taking extreme measures to make your writings lack any distinctive properties will make them stand out.

This looks to me like the script equivalent of an SQL injection attack. In an SQL injection, unverified text is copied into an SQL query, which allows an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands. In this 'bad taste' vulnerability, a filename (which can contain almost any possible character) is copied into a small VB script, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary VB script code simply by giving a file a carefully crafted name.

Aside from the injection vulnerability, this particular version of the attack would not be possible if there had been some extra restrictions on what characters are permitted to be used in filenames (on Linux). Scripting would be a lot easier if one did not have to account for the possibility that people use double quotes, newline characters or even stranger things in filenames. Sadly, there are those who oppose any restriction on which characters can be used in filenames, simply because they want to be able to abuse the filesystem as a cheap hash table with raw binary data as filenames.

Did he get his phone call?

Sometimes +5 Funny seems just not high enough. I wish the parent could be modded up to eleven.

One digit, obviously.

Don't mod down someone if you disagree with what they wrote. That is abuse of the moderation system. Write a reply instead.

You might want to provide some arguments for that.

You have a bathroom in your basement?

Yes, stop using reply-all -- it bogs down the email system.

404: Katniss Not Found

Look, I don't care if prostitution should be legal or not. But think about his: how do you define consent? How many prostitutes are doing it only because they really need the money, to feed their family? Or maybe they are addicted to drugs, and have no other way to pay for their addiction. Can you honestly say that being a prostitute is what they really want? Is that consent? What would happen if, say, a country starts providing basic income to all their citizens. How would that affect the number of people working in prostitution? Don't you think that number would drop dramatically?
