So, the expectation when you write a positive review on a Google service is that the review will not be displayed as an endorsement of the product? Isn't that the entire point of writing the review?

It's passive aggressive against the self. Fits the definition quite well.

by crystaln 13y ago
Of course this is your right. On the other hand, unless you have some rational reason to not have your existence recorded, this sounds like passive aggressive self-destruction and hatred.

Eliminating facebook would definitely prevent any pictures with you in them from being shared. There's just nowhere else to post pictures, and nothing would ever replace them.

If enough of your friends had the desire to do this, you'd have no use for a facebook account to begin with.

I suppose fear of a 9+ earthquake followed by a massive tsunami off the coast of Fukushima was considered unreasonable. We are on a blob of rock hurtling through an unknown cosmos. Calamities are very possible. It is deeply irresponible to

I was being sarcastic to point out the irony of referencing a Greenpeace study to support nuclear power over coal.

This is not really calculable, nor is the number of people killed by coal calculable in any reasonable manner. However the impact of nuclear catastrophe is far far more insidious and lasting, particularly when caused by a global calamity

"commissioned by Greenpeace International" who I'm sure would back the position that nuclear fission plants are safer than coal. Of course, nuclear power plants are safe short term. Their threat is catastrophe, which given ti

I didn't realize complete dedication and sacrifice for your ideals was indicative of psychosis. I suppose in that case many of our heros were psychotic.

Coal power is more deadly than fission power? When has coal power ever created the sort of crisis that occurred in Fukushima? Because of fission reactors, the safety of entire regions of the world is dependent on a consistent power supply a

Any word on whether we can expect customers and sellers to be hunted down? I had heard rumors for months that DPR he been compromised. I know quite a few people who used Silk Road, many carelessly so.

Tie a piece of floss in a circle. That solves most of the problem.

Seems perfectly sensible to me. Why should characters be of fixed size?

What happens in the event of a world catastrophe, like a terrorist attack, plague, or meteor strike, killing key people, limiting travel, and otherwise inhibiting recovery of all these distributed tokens and keys? Security is not only prote

And you can't check an unmask password checkbox if you get lost? Seems the more secure default would certainly be preferable.

While I see the point, I don't agree. Entering passwords with people standing behind me would be slightly nerve racking without password masking, and during a presentation would be essentially impossible. Password masking is a good def

You're suggesting that users use better passwords on sites with no password restrictions. I'm going to doubt that's true and presuming you have no data say that it's likely far from true.

That seems appropriate for a column called "it happened to me". And wait, you're surprised a human, in media, is self absorbed? That seems bizarrely self absorbed.

A valid argument against determinism in the universe. How could the Big Bang have predetermined a pony ban on 4chan?

This makes no sense. Why would Jony Ive, supposedly one of the greatest industrial designers, and Apple, one of the greatest consumer products companies, be so darn excited about rereleasing a 1 year old product in 5 colors for 15% less? Do

Filling in the first row from the center out beats the AI every time.... I'm sure the AI is a technical marvel - still needs some work though.

Is that a really a frequent enough occurrence to justify always carrying a handcuff key? I'd say that's likely to happen to your average skateboarder about once every thousand lives. You might be better off learning self defense t

I wonder what this calculation would yield: % of rapes involving handcuffs * % of rapes standard handcuffs used in such a way that both the keyhole and key are accessible to the hands * % of rapes where the victim is left unattended and ful
