The Dunning-Kruger effect... If you're dumb, you tend to overestimate your intelligence.

That explains all the "above average" votes.

Having read about it, I wondered whether I'm too stupid to know that I am, or that I really am above average. Being unable to pick one, I just went for the funny choice.

Because counterfeiting an American car is like counterfeiting Swedish wine.

You must work for the pr0n industry then. And it looks like you can't get it up
percase.

... welcome our muscle powered machete wielding robots.

The question they asked was "Which sounds better, channel A or B?" whereas the question to be asked is:

"The original is channel C. Which sounds more like the original, channel A or channel B?"

Asking the first question, your subject will pick the track with the higher 'loudness' (a bit of bass/treble boost) almost invariably.

The latter question is the correct one, as the whole point of recording music is to make it sound like you're actually there in the room with the musicians.

Though there are 3 monitors for 5 PCs, my wife tends to use only one - the 19" CRT - and then use remote desktop for the others, and for servers far far away.

She often has a remote desktop in a remote desktop in a remote desktop session, it's quite funny to see those little information bars at the top of the screen sliding over each other until she's got the right one.

Oh, the joys of being married.

I guess the cashier cannot distinguish between the types because they're... indistinguishable?

I always wondered, why don't they just sell the "standard" ones and just put a collection box for the unfair traded farmers near the cashier?

And, uh, if there are "organic" as opposed to "standard" bananas, i wonder what the "standard" ones are made of. Even plastic is organic...

I know how to spell banananananas, i just don't know when to stop.

You're also clear in the patent area. As an individual, you cannot infringe on patents. You're allowed to go to the patent office and build whatever is described there. You're not allowed to distribute such device - then you are no longer an individual.

In software terms, you may compile and use LAME for encoding MP3s at home, but you're not allowed to distribute the compiled result.

I always eat my chicks with garlic. And ginger. At least that's allowed.

Who would run out of fuel first, the laptop or the plane?

Or the coffee.

I'm waiting for someone to tape a 22" LCD to his car's windshield.

I drove mine straight through a wall at 1 Mph. And i was not even drinking.

I have a bunch of them in my garden. They're called "plants".

I know you.

You were that blond guy in one of the Law&Order: SVU episodes.

... welcome the overlords who licenced us and now pwn.
