Comment Re:did they damage the car? (Score 1) 461

Your brilliance astounds! I had never considered that there was only one kind of terrorist, and only one place they could live! Up until now I assumed that terrorists could come from anywhere, and that there could be more than one! Thank you so much for helping me realize that there can be one, and only one terrorist organization!

And yes ... you are a blithering frigging idiot.

Comment Re:Not pointless... (Score 2) 461

Do you know what you call a person who tries to convince you that is perfectly acceptable to react in completely irrational ways at the mere sight of every day occurrences? That person is called a terrorist (and I neither use the term loosely, nor in the same way a govt. propagandist would use it)

Pay attention, once again: Don't spread bullshit memes that promote irrational fear. If you continue to do so, you are a terrorist. Again, this has nothing to do with any country, government, political, or theological allegiance or lack thereof.

Comment Re:Why did you ever think privacy matters to most? (Score 1) 113

"If you believe in privacy, you can't make the vast majority of people care about it."

What a bullshit claim. You seem to be claiming, ala Zuckerberg, that people posting "personal" details on Facebook that you wouldn't post is an indication that they don't value their privacy. I guess it never occurred to you that, no matter how "personal" the nature of the typical Facebook account, those same people have plenty going on that they don't want made public. Claiming that "kids today don't value their privacy" is so much bullshit it isn't even funny.

"But since there's no "earth" at the north pole, the correct answer is obviously the south pole."

That isn't correct at all. First of all, you can't walk south from the South Pole, but that doesn't even matter because:

He says the surface of the Earth. He doesn't say what that surface is made of (i.e. Ice works), or even in what millennium you are walking in (see also Plate tectonics )

Comment Re: North Pole (Score 1) 496

It's certainly some point near the South Pole, since the North Pole hasn't got any earth.

That would seem to be a problem, but is it as insurmountable as the fact that the South Pole doesn't have a South? (and anywhere near it would suggest many possible answers, none of which could be determined during an interview.) FTA:

You're standing on the surface of the Earth

He doesn't say what that surface is composed of, and I'm willing to bet that it is not that kind of trick question, since that would be a stupid way to asses someone's intellectual prowess to say the least.

I was a VAX/VMS Systems manager in the early 1990s, and no, that is not true. For christ sake there was no www and Ethernet was based on Coaxial Cable, with UTP just coming to market, and nobody was transferring complete OS images from machine to machine and running and stopping them on the fly. Period.
