I can also honk their horns, flash their lights, and open and close the sunroof.

I'd said I flashed your lights mama
your horn won't even blow
I even flash my lights mama
this horn won't even blow
Got a short in this connection
hoo-well, babe, its way down below

Check your facts: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/08/26/200427/firing-missiles-at-enemies-usually.html Congress generally likes to hide when it comes down to "declaring" or "authorizing" military actions. That way if something goes wrong (like American men and women getting killed or something) they can deny responsibility.

Speaking on behalf of the Internet, we'll miss you, bob ol' boy. Have a nice life!

I used to live on a lake that had a permanent population of 60-80 Canda geese. Those bad boys were afraid of nothing and would hiss at you just for lookin' at 'em the wrong way. There was only one thing they couldn't tolerate: a dog. I'd see a bunch of 'em take off in a hurry for what looked like no good reason, then a minute later here'd come a dog, trotting along, minding his own business.

Screw R/C planes. The best and probably cheapest way to get rid of geese is to get a Jack Russell terrier and let it start "herding" them. Two weeks, three tops, and those geese will be gone forever. He'll work for food and keep you warm at night.

I'd guess that many, maybe most, stolen CC numbers are pretty close to worthless, given that the number has probably already been flagged as stolen and will be rejected on the first transaction. If it does succeed, the transaction will be flagged by the bank and not paid off. However one "like" is worth pretty much the same as any other "like". OTOH, the risk of using a stolen CC is non-zero but using fake "like" is risk-free.

Waiting for the Samsung fandroids to wake up and start explaining why this isn't cheating, it's optimizing, and even if it is cheating it's Apple's fault.

I wasn't referring to your post, vik. I was referring to slashmydot's post, which is provocative and judgmental enough to make me think it may be a troll. However, I'm also aware that there are people in the world who are sufficiently ignorant and arrogant to make such a statement seriously. If that's the case, I can't help his arrogance but I can try to make him a bit less ignorant.

(Not sure if trolling)

You're assuming that they have a choice. When jobs are hard to find (416,565 people are unemployed here in N.C.) a lot of folks are grateful to have a job at all, much less able to choose between jobs.

"We don't have time for a meeting of the flat-earth society."

Not for nothing are the Republicans known as "the stupid party."

Damn you autocorrect!

Can we please stop pretending that "market share" means "winning?" http://techpinions.com/androids-market-share-is-literally-a-joke/16709

Will they blur the tortises' faces?

Somehow this is Tim Cook's fault. Steve Jobs would never have let it happen. Also it proves the inherent superiority of Android over the iPhone. I just haven't quite figured out how yet. I'm sure somebody will, though.

Congratulations! You just won the Slashdot Sourpuss Prize. The award used to be a b.j. from the supermodel of your choice, but we realized you'd just think of something to gripe about it so we quit giving it out. Enjoy your fame.

Sigh. It raises the question. To "beg the question" means something completely different. Here is a simple rule of thumb of when that phrase should be used: never.

Thank you. I've been wondering if I was the only person left who cares.
