This gets modded insightful? Who waits 6 hours to see a GP? You don't go to emergency to get a sick note.

GP is girl who's into bandwidth. Big, fat tubes of juicy internet goodness. Plus the line "I need a network connection that doesn't suck so hard it's in danger of forming its own event horizon" was a good one. Your troll "hurr durr comcast is teh suxor!" is a wholly different beast.

This gets modded insightful? In any case where a person responds to a perceived threat, there is a test for reasonableness. You might find a jury that thinks being on camera is threatening enough to require a physical response but its more likely that if you attack a cameraman, you'll find yourself being prosecuted.

Its funny how the IT department doesn't want to build the apps in the first place which means end users have to do the work themselves.

While this may be true for really big lies, I would imagine that most persistent lies that people tell fall into the exaggeration or truth twisting category. Over time with consistent telling, they become the truth in your mind. I highly doubt that anyone has a truly accurate memory of their past.

Not if their reason for refusal is based on racial discrimination which is what this sounds like. See here...

They love Apple products so it seems their nationalism can be overcome by the right product.

Good analysis except for a few incorrect assertions. FB is not growing exponentially in revenue or profit terms and can't grow exponentially in users given that its at 900m user accounts (less unique users).

Full year revenue:
2008: 272m
2009: 777m (285% growth)
2010: 2,000m (257% growth)
2011: 3,700m (185% growth)

Full year EPS:
2008: -0.06
2009: 0.10 (n/a from neg)
2010: 0.28 (280% growth)
2011: 0.46 (164% growth)

Selling $30,000 speaker wire is a perfectly rational thing to do.

Well obviously the NPR test was flawed. Most people prefer pizza to NO pizza. While there are some who would pay for a simple NO pizza diet plan (a foll and his money are easily parted), it would be difficult to target them as a group.

Your problem is that you want a simple explanation for the universe for reasons that are your own. Unfortunately reality is very complex - possibly to the point of being beyond our abilities to understand. Simply plugging the hole with a creator and/or active god does not advance our understanding at all. Aristotle was a very smart guy but if you think anyone alive several thousand years ago had it all figured out then you are delusional. I think Socrates was much closer to the mark:

Is it opposite day or something?

No because plain text emails could be intercepted entering and leaving the server.

In population statistics for a large workforce, the mean and median are likely to be the same thing.
