I don't agree. This link gives you a better idea of what type of course it will likely be. Seems to be fairly reasonable as a computer science curriculum. I can tell you from personal experience that a real master's degree in computer science from a major university is not very useful anyway. I have yet to find a practical application of Rice's Theorem in my day job.

I remember a guy who blamed the NSA for him defrauding all the other shareholders. "Qwest is doing great, but just ignore the fact that I'm selling tens of millions of dollars in stock just before everything tanks!" Any executive in a company who sells stock while still working there needs to be investigated very thoroughly, especially if that company subsequently tanks without warning. Qwest, if you recall, had to restate BILLIONS in sales (there are more links if you care to search).

Indeed, like in this episode of Brain Games.

I think the method is a very strongly motivated post-purchase questionnaire type of thing. Basically, they pay something like a $25 gift card, wherein at least one of the questions helps link the purchase to the ad that motivated it. I think they must get enough responses from such measures to justify it.

This is probably a better picture. I hope it's legit.

This isn't about right or wrong. There's no logical fallacy here. This is simply about whether or not we even want to hear what he has to say, based on how he's saying it. You can choose on your own.

Yes, goddamn it, he's wrong to talk like an arrogant twat. Is his proposal or desire wrong? I don't think enough of us give a shit enough to listen to his arrogant twatness to find out. The analogy to big, fat, ugly is not a good one.

Seems very much like the same guy. He posted chiptune on his site and also had some past underhanded entries there. Presumably, he's just not updating (or updated) for this last entry.

But, it's only 3 days late so that makes it okay!

That's not quite as interesting as NASA employees in cosplay experiments.

They will continue to blackmail you. Why wouldn't they when so successful the first time? It's not like they're trustworthy or anything. If you're stupid enough to get involved with Ashley Madison in the first place, then just fess up to your wife and family and deal with the consequences. But, in the end, most of us will have no sympathy for either the scumbags who use Ashley Madison or those who blackmail them.

For those non-Americans who didn't or don't plan to RTFA, this is opinion piece on American journalism only.

Ha! You just whacked me with a good dose of nostalgia.

True, such entries COULD be filtered out, but it provides enough PC should they need it. What the OP suggests is at best not going to help and at worst going to create huge problems. All in all, a stupid idea.

That's a really fucking stupid idea. All you're gonna do is give the law enforcement agency probable case to get really invasive. The prefix text you put there won't stop that.
