Now I'm totally convinced. If a farmer from the butt of the world says something it must be totally true.

I heard they are going to hire Swedish farmers for the CERN and MIT is going to fire all the staff to substitute it by Mongolian shepherds.

You saw him running? Dafuq? I want Slashdot video too!

"Exists or is being researched". An euphemism for "We don't have a fuycking clue but will continue massaging our stats until they look a bit better and until we are able to put some substance in the market that we can sell as wonder medicine"

Until it's proven that thee medical wonder is nothing but snake oil, Just recall the antidepressants and the infamous ritalin.

Nice, I visited the page and found a banner "Asian Women Seeking Love".

That someone still uses Perl? ROFLMAO

Except your big penis rep.. sorry I meant GUNS and being except from taxes!

Why would I call the police to search for my phone?

And why would they need a warrant for it?

A really smart person should be aware of what a stupid scam all this dating stuff is. Your probabilities of getting laid or finding someone are exactly as high as just doing stuff in the traditional way (going out to places).

And don't tell me about the social inability of "geniuses", I score 19 out of 30 in a test for autism traits and I found a partner and even married.

What this shows is that these "mensan" aren't much more than monkeys trained to do IQ tests and score well in them.

Note that I don't speak out of despise, I score fairly high in IQ tests (i do score in the 98 percentile of a specific test suite and in English which is not my mother tongue, so that I should have a relative handicap, but these were tests made for a professional assessment, not to join a fancy club of quizz-fans) and I am fluent in 5 languages (human not programming ones)...

So, we have a few self proclaimed "geniuses" who don't have a fucking clue about probabilities, believe in marketing hogwash and who's geniality consists in filling in "brain training" type shit (meaning that they haven't even bothered to read any science about the subject).

Dating for Monkeys.

Why would this guy want to make a wall of feet?

And what does he mean exactly: Feet with people still attached to it or severed feed?

Amazing finding.

This clearly demonstrates that a subspecies of Homo sapiens; H. sapiens neandertalensis had after all the same feeding habits than the rest of the Homo sapiens species!! Amazing. Who would have told?

Another spectacular finding for the team of Dr. El Obvio, preferred disciple of Prof. O'Bvious.

Hail to them!!!

Well, actually... ehem.. the West has done what it had to do: Don't give a shit about Ukraine. The last thing the EU needs right now is a steady stream of poor Ukrainians.

While London is getting the big fat money stolen by the Russian Oligarchs from their own government (and our subsidies, BTW). And the USA used the whole thing as a PR campaign to show off how macho they are... of course, nothing to loose and Obama knows his pal Vladimir won't mind a bit of bitching.

Now Ukraine has an agreement with the EU, the Russians are happy, our great Fuhrer Angela is happy and the Righteous, Honest and Smart Mr Cameron is happy.

Nor really, it was a war between Human Resources and the Marketing. The whole thing begun the day the guys from IT started stealing the Friday beer reserved for HR blaming Marketing for it. That's why it's called the "Cold War". Also because in an act of vengeance one of the HR managers sabotaged the airco.

Why are you so mean with people loosing white thrash? Maybe he has some condition that makes him loose this thrash. Bad AC, go apologize right now!

It's not even science.

It's marketing people with number crunching data they do not understand.

I was working last year at Comscore and came to know quite a lot of these. Most were absolutely unable to figure out how to calculate an average. This people are the ones in charge of producing the data that their manager (guys and chicks that know how to start Powerpoint with a bit of luck).

This makes that even the people who really have some knowledge in statistics gets crap data so that even if they were geniuses (which they aren't) they would just be able to produce shit.

This doesn't make much sense if you think about it: Even if advertising were effective we receive so many contradictory stimuli that they would either cancel each other or become so chaotic that our buying habits wouldn't be distinguishable from pure random chance.
