Vote how? Do you really think if I didn't HAVE TO fly because it is an unfortunate necessity for my job I would even go NEAR an airport? Do you think I consider it a great pastime to be the star in my personal pervert peep show for some TNA mouthbreather? Or that the butt-groping of that greasy single-digit IQ expert turns me on? Getting your kneecaps shoved into your thighs is just the icing on the turd cake.

Yes, that would be a knee-jerk reaction... if there was enough room for a knee to jerk, dammit!

I'd rather get some cryptic information about stop codes or an error message than a condescending sad face accompanied by a reboot request. At least I can look up the code and get a ballpark idea what the issue is without firing up windbg.

America.... home of the fr... yeah right.

Anyway, take a look at the kind of books that are *taught* in schools:

...

So lets see... underage sex, murder of your relatives, regicide, racism, lynchings, rape, adultery, organised crime, a mentally-ill killer and of course - lawless schoolboys killing each other! What's not to love about the American school system, yeehaw!

More like a failure to double check settings or something.

see me on Facebook. Local undersherriff initiated a traffic stop in a dark territory valley (no cellular reception) while I was in my disabled vehicle waiting for traffic to go by before exiting to determine why I was having difficulty re-starting the engine.

Slashdot cracks me up
Red faced and angry about the coming Surveillance State
Damned happy to have every cop be a walking surveillance unit
Anybody else see the irony?

Like, perhaps, English. So that he could - after all these years as a professional who types out strings of characters that very specific meaning - understand that when he says "could have cared less about my career," he means "could NOT have cared less about my career." Maybe he's been working all these years in languages that don't incorporate the concept of "not" or " ! " in evaluating two values. Are there any? I couldn't care less. Grown-ups who communicate or code for a living should be able to handle that one correctly.

This is an example of a good password at my company "m7Rx2NqU" -- that's an unrecognizable jumble of characters that only a computer could love, but never a human.

I'd prefer to use "correcthorsebatterystaple" (ala XKCD), but my company's password policies do not let me use a pass phrase, but a jumble of numbers, letters and uppercase.

In communist Russia, Americans spy on YOU.
