Comment Re:Again, hard to take conservatives seriously (Score 1, Insightful) 314

Hmm. I'm neither liberal nor conservative, and I do not see the evidence for Anthropogenic Global Warming (tho it does seem as though the Solar system is warming), however, I also see tons of evidence that genetically modified foods are deletrious to the biosphere, human health, etc.

What does that make me?

They were undoubtedly "told" by their NSA rep, "We at the NSA *KNOW* security. Better than you guys in fact. For the benefit of our country, and indeed, the entire world, we want to sell you the MOST ADVANCED RNG we can design! Please, please consider buying it from us, so that we may fund additional security improvements for you in the future. It can only make your users safer!"

They possibly even believed it.

Man, Texas ain't half that bad!

I work in Houston, make ~$100,000, don't pay any state income taxes, have a 7% sales tax rate in my city, and a $800 two bedroom apartment 15 minutes from work. I doubt I could have all that in very many other states.

Oh, and we have sun like 230 days a year (compared to Seattle's ~100), and it's never really cold (it snows maybe once every 7 years).

Really? /. still doesn't have UTF-8 support? That was a € sign. Are you fucking kidding me?

It's their fucking database. Their website is in the UTF-8 charset, but their database's character set is apparently ISO-8859-1 which doesn't even have the € symbol. Their front-end attempts to compensate by converting everything it can into HTML special chars, like & euro (e.g., €uro vs. €uro).

The devs should be shot.

I have several times walked around with $800 fiat-value American Gold Eagles ($50 fiat each) in my pocket.

Of course, the price of gold was then around $1,500 Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs; e.g., "USDs")/oz, so that's $24,000 FRNs.

They were in my pocket, of course. My next goal is to have 25 American Gold Eagles in my pocket :-)
