Best to include a control group in your study that would expose subjects to the "old way" of roasting peanuts, whatever that is. Then we'd know for sure. :)

please revert back to this thread once you have caught on to the running joke, thx :).

I read that the same way, had a chuckle ;)

So what's your point? Because there was a CIA office in the WTC that Al Qaeda was justified in attacking the building?

I don't see your logic at all. You comparison would make more sense if it was a well known fact that Al Qaeda was planning to deploy missiles to target Obama. And if, knowing that fact, he then went and hid in the CIA office of the WTC. I get the feeling that your post is a straight up troll though, so I'm not sure if I'm wasting my breath.

And anyway, the destruction of the CIA office in the WTC was by no means the primary objective of the 9/11 attacks. They were terror attacks, not strategic warfare, and it's debatable that these guys even had intelligence on that office being there. Moot point.

what were you doing to get the ticket, eh? improper use of the median lights up some pretty strange images in my head :).

Wish I had mod points for you sir.

No need to worry. Reports around the web are contradictory to this article, all say it's extremely unlikely that an attacker could gain access to your machine using this vulnerability. You're more likely to get blue-screened.

What's more, you'd have to be sharing your bluetooth id AND the attacker would have to be within range of your signal.

Even so, overly-aggressive DRM only serves to justify piracy further, giving pirates a leg to stand on. There have been a good number of recent releases where the pirated version was actually better than the original release because the DRM was such a pain.

There's a whole section in the article titled 'Round the globe.

Cross-country flights are not exclusively what this article is talking about. In fact, there's a nice image on page two of the article showing Lufthansa's coverage area from Western Europe to the Western U.S.

Maybe you have a two hour flight. On an 18-hour flight there's only so much you can read, sleep, and watch before you start to get antsy. I'd surely welcome internet on those flights.

My point was that most people aren't really being affected by these things but there's a very loud group of people running around yelling boycott from the rooftops and acting like Sony's starting the next holocaust- it's only going to make it harder for the common people to relate to your cause.

There it is again, and this is what I'm talking about.
Come on people, we're not talking about ethnic or religious persecution here, we're talking about a consumer electronics company. It's really overblown.

Sorry but I think you guys are just really out of control with this Sony stuff. How do you take a statement like "I don't care that Sony is a shitty retailer, it doesn't affect me" and blow it out to "I don't care about anything going on in the world." I care a lot about things that are going on in the world, but what has Sony really done that warrants this kind of behavior? Are they dumping toxic chemicals? Causing global warming? Killing babies?
Oh, they may have accidentally released your e-mail address and a hashed password.

I think you're stretching a little bit, comparing someone boycotting Sony products with someone ignoring the existence of concentration camps. I'd love to see you explain how those two things are even remotely alike.
