Fix his sentence by swapping two verbs and add a preposition:

See? I'm a human, man.

As for "EMDYSI?", I thought that was a CAPTCHA for a second and was about to prove my humanity with an eight-character response.

One would think they would use an "AmIHotOrNot"-style CAPTCHA- show some snapped images, and ask "who would you most like to have sex with?"

You're already signed up. You don't need to press a "share" button for anything. There's no need to spend time wondering whether they're now sneakily holding on to info they shouldn't- the answer is just "yes". You don't get an annoying email every time someone you know gets heartburn. No dumb comments, no stupid advertising. There's no "friends list" to manage, no "unfriend this person" fights- they manage your friends list for you. Someone is always following you and finds you interesting. They're already synced with all your information from other sites. Their stuff works with your phone. New exciting data collection features are coming out all the time. You're already paying for it, so you might as well join, and in fact you did already. It's so easy to use.

RTFA: Fact: The U.S. spent $502 billion subsidizing fossil fuels in 2011.

Which proves you're full of shit.

Uhhh... so the cleantech industry receives "just as much money" as the $500 billion per year in taxpayer subsidies given to oil and gas companies? Do you have any source to support that allegation besides your CAPS LOCK key?

fixing parentheses:: (40 million cards / 10000 plaintext PINs) * 10 guesses per card = 400,000 cards, not 4000.

1. I don't care about your PIN. Your grandma's will work fine. I can throw those numbers out the window.
2. For each card try 1234 (or whatever comes out of a random() call.) 1234- stolen, next card. 1234, stolen, next card. 1234- stolen, next card. 1234- *kaching*. 1234, stolen, next card. 40 million cards / (10000 plaintext PINs / (10 guesses per card) = 4000 cards.

Yeah yeah. But the plaintext space is small and can be brute forced. They have 40 million cards. They don't need 40 million working PINs.

Only "weakly encrypted" PINs. How do you "encrypt" a four-decimal-digit PIN? Even if they only had PIN hashes that were as yet uncompromised, it wouldn't offer much protection. if Target changed policy and invalidated your card immediately after you entered the first wrong PIN, the crooks still stole 40 million cards and would have scored a list of about 4000 working card numbers. At least if the PINs were required to be base-64, the crooks would only find a few.

Another challenge is the fines and penalties for installing solar cells on your roof.

An alliance of corporations and conservative activists is mobilising to penalise homeowners who install their own solar panels- casting them as "freeriders" - a sweeping new offensive against renewable energy, the Guardian has learned.

These people are actually freeloaders but of course he can't say what they really are because of political correctness that forces him to use softer words like "freeriders".

Further details of ALEC's strategy were provided by John Eick, the legislative analyst for ALEC's energy, environment and agriculture program.

Eick told the Guardian the group would be looking closely in the coming year at how individual homeowners with solar panels are compensated for feeding surplus electricity back into the grid.

"This is an issue we are going to be exploring," Eick said. He said ALEC wanted to lower the rate electricity companies pay homeowners for direct power generation - and maybe even charge homeowners for feeding power into the grid.

"As it stands now, those direct generation customers are essentially freeriders on the system. They are not paying for the infrastructure they are using. In effect, all the other non direct generation customers are being penalised," he said.

Eick dismissed the suggestion that individuals who buy and install home-based solar panels had made such investments. "How are they going to get that electricity from their solar panel to somebody else's house?" he said. "They should be paying to distribute the surplus electricity."

I don't want sewage electricity being forced down my throat after it's been on some other guy's filthy roof already! I'm an American; I have a right to choose clean electricity!

In November, Arizona became the first state to charge customers for installing solar panels. The fee, which works out to about $5 a month for the average homeowner, was far lower than that sought by the main electricity company, which was seeking to add up to $100 a month to customers' bills.

IN THE BEGINNING God created heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was floating on the surface of the waters. God said "let there be light" and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness with a thin film of perovskite on glass so that the material formed tiny crystalline islands. The islands absorbed photons and converted them unto electrons, whilst light striking the empty areas passed through. And God saw that it was good. Then God said "let the rooftops sprout with panels: panels bearing light from the heavens"; the ceilings brought forth electricity, freeriders yielding current with voltage in it, unto the grid. And God saw that it was good. Then to be fair he charged the freeriders $100 per month, which Arizona reduced to $5, for those who drilled the formless void of the earth for the Spirit of God, and have to distribute the unwanted surplus electricity. And God saw that it was good.

Now that we have Obamacare, why can't HIPAA be crumpled up and tossed?

The whole point of HIPAA was to keep your health info secret from insurance companies, so that they wouldn't deny you coverage or overcharge you for being a sick person. Of course, that was a stupid idea- insurers don't care about the juicy details of why you're sick. They only care about which policyholders are costing money. You obviously can't keep your insurer from finding out about the claims payments they're making on your behalf. And nothing ever seriously prevented insurers from conspiring with each other about whether to blacklist you, even if your doctors were gagged and prevented from revealing your blood type to each other.

The central feature of Obamacare is supposed to be preventing insurers from overcharging or denying coverage to people with preexisting conditions. If that's the case, then WTF is the purpose of HIPAA anymore? Keeping your spouse in the dark about your herpes? Making sure potential bosses can't google your name against "DSM-5" or "virus"? Preventing WalMart greeters from tackling kleptomaniacs? Ensuring food charities won't withhold green bananas from the terminally ill?

Since HIPAA was enacted, people have really gotten in their heads that the privacy of their health information is their most treasured possession. People are even screaming about HIPAA violations on healthcare.gov because it has a radio button for smokers to click on. But if *insurers* can't do anything with this information anymore, then who cares? Should we still be forcing sick people to make extra trips to the hospital so they can pick up their X-rays in person? This info should still be confidential, but I don't know why it deserves its top secret status anymore.

They shouldn't need to prove it's "absolutely" safe with the certainty of a mathematical proof. Obviously that's impossible. But it's not hard to define some sort of reasonable standard for what the manufacturer should demonstrate regarding safety. The FDA simply defined that standard as "nothing".

The U.S. FDA differs from the corresponding agencies in other First World countries because it has a different standard for determining safety. Usually, a manufacturer has to prove a new chemical is safe before they can put it on the market. In the U.S., the standard is different. Unless a third party can prove to their satisfaction that the product is unsafe, the manufacturer can continue to sell it. This is why bisphenol-A, for example, is used in the lining of all canned foods in the U.S. and not in other countries. Although studies have repeatedly come out indicating that it binds to estrogen receptors and mimics estrogen in some ways, the FDA has claimed that no one study in humans has conclusively proven that BPA has effects. BPA studies are difficult in humans because it's impossible to shield a control group from exposure to it- virtually all foods sold in the U.S. are laced with it, with no labeling requirements whatsoever. China has banned the use of BPA, but still manufactures millions of tons for exports to the U.S.

That's a pretty accurate observation. Just look at this one-sided episode where they bash people receiving disability. It's obviously geared toward people over 65.

Sure they can. All genital selfies can be reproduced by discriminating between just two images.
