A few years back I took $100 out of one bank and deposited it at another. The second bank only credited me $80, and sent me a letter informing me that one of the bills was counterfeit. I called the bank and explained that while I'm sure they were right, I'd been handed the bill by another bank and I had no chance of detecting the counterfeit bill so it wasn't fair to punish me. They, of course, wouldn't agree with that but they *did* give me a $20 counter credit because they wanted to keep me as a customer.

A couple decades ago when all paper money was as counterfeitable as the $1 bill remains, I worked at a fast food joint and would encounter counterfeit money on a fairly regular basis. The thing is, it was obvious to me that the poor schmo trying to buy a burger hadn't made the bill, and was just handing me a stack of money he'd been handed by somebody else. Who knows where the counterfeiter was? So unless I thought the customer was actually trying to swindle I'd just take the money and let the banks sort it out later.

Similar thing here: the purchasers are unwittingly caught in the crosshairs. Nothing good comes of attacking the person who's already been unknowingly swindled.

Might as well quote the whole thing. You're still twisting it:

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.

He's obviously talking about infrastructure. Stop being willfully obtuse.

You realize many democrats run businesses, too? He would have pissed off his richest donors. Seriously, do you believe anyone is stupid enough to mean what you think he means? For fucks's sake you guys can't think at all anymore.

Second Mantis. It is a webapp, but it's fairly simple to get up and running. It's PHP+MySQL, which should run fine on a mac (you do have homebrew, right?). I don't think you're going to find any single-user bug tracking programs, but I could be wrong!

What, no love for Star Trek: In-Her-Prize? Typical.

Well done.

This was after the plane had landed safely. And well after the highschool science project had cleared security on the way INTO the plane. You're way too fucking scared.

Check out some of the comments on the source article. There are claims he was not really reading Ender's Game, and that the school is covering it up.

PHP can run like that, too, via FastCGI. Check out php-fpm.

Wild Facebook parties tend to occur when a Facebook Event invitation to a typical small gathering is mistakenly posted publicly, and then goes viral.

This effect shall herefore be known as 'blitzkeg'.

But what am I supposed to do with all my foot copies :(

No, it never [works]. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but... but it might work for us.
