"You will be charged with the manufacture of a device that (when blown up) killed or if unlucky injured several police officers."
Sorry. You had the order wrong. Don't worry. I fixed it for you.
"Do you think quoting my post line by line makes you sound like less of an absolutist idiot? "
Just accept the fact that he buried your ridiculous post, line by line, and exposed you as the idiot that you truly are
"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 )
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.
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
