Comment Re:What is it that is bad, exactly? (Score 1) 206

Many people will poke fun at the religious angle of it, but frankly I would be critical of this stunt even if it was for a cause I believed in.

And seeing as it _is_ a cause I believe in, I will chime in with said criticism. It's not unlike those tracts that look like money that people sometimes leave as "tips". Great way to get attention, but in the end it's generally the wrong kind of attention, rather anti-persuasive.

Comment Circular reasoning? (Score 1) 245

Can't use it in court because it hasn't been proven in court. Okay, not exactly circular, but the easy way out is to just prove it in one of these traffic cases, assuming such proof is possibly. Probably worth it to the city and/or state to go to the expense for one simple case so that it can apply to all the others. Woe to the person who has to sit through that trial though just to try to get out of their ticket.

Not true, start tagging the story diedvorakdie or ohnoitsdvorak.

See, this is why I miss USENET. In the old days it would have been "dvorak.die.die.die". I just don't think you can successfully convey how mind-numbingly stupid he is with only two dies.

Besides the fact that it could be misconstrued as "The, Dvorak, The".

This guide was written in response to the numerous fallacies about the hard disk that are still being propagated in many forum discussions. Although many articles have covered these topics, it is apparent that hard disk urban legends are still more popular than the simple truth. So, let's get down to basics and examine some of these common fallacies or myths and debunk them!
Take a look and see how many of these top 20 HDD myths you actually believed to be gospel?"
