Evangelical Third Party
Oh please please _pleeeeeease_ let them go through with it! My fervent hopes and dreams would be answered...
(of course, it's an idle threat...I don't think even they are that stupid)

Dice stacking
If I didn't like boobs so much, this video might make me question my sexuality.

Of course you realize, this means war...
Okay. That's it. The bicyclists clearly need to be stopped. Let history remember that they started this. They declared war. We merely defended ourselves.
It's bad enough when one self-righteous bicyclist in ridiculous pants holds up traffic on a road. It's an entirely different abomination when an organized group takes to the streets specifically to impede traffic. Before, I was content merely to be annoyed by them. Now, they must be destroyed. Delenda est bicyclibus.
Here is my idea for a counter-protest. Some particular day, we get a lot of people together and find a heavily used bike route. Preferably one bikers use to get to work. And we walk. We walk in their bike lanes. Slowly. Arduously. Frequently stopping to tie our shoes. Or even just yawn. And we accost any bicyclists we see. We angrily condemn them for using up our precious natural resources on the construction of their environmentally oblivious and selfish bicycles, those wantonly wasteful devices of convenience that are contributing to the destruction of our planet. We must vilify these people at all costs so that their selfish behavior is highlighted to all the world, and government action can be taken.
We must construct self-congratulatory websites that claim our actions are to promote the fun of walking and the sense of community among walkers despite the fact that our actions are clearly meant to piss off as many people that we don't like as possible. We must shroud our assholicism in the cloak of activism. And then we must go home and eat beef that has been injected with as many growth hormones as possible (shouldn't a cow feed as many people as possible?) while we stew in our self-satisfied juices knowing, deep down, that just as we have saved the life of a defenseless soy plant, our actions have made the world a better place.
(Fuckers.)

Deep thought from my AI textbook
"Consider the sentence:Like, whoah, man...
J. R. Lucas cannot consistently assert that this sentence is true.
If Lucas asserted this sentence then he would be contradicting himself, so therefore Lucas cannot consistently assert it, and hence it must be true. (The sentence cannot be false, because if it were then Lucas could not consistently assert it, so it would be true.) We have thus demonstrated that there is a sentence that Lucas cannot consistently assert while other people (and machines) can. But that does not make us think less of Lucas."
A geographic challenge to Islam
For anyone who doesn't think arbitrary religious dogma is ridiculous...
Lessons learned
What I learned from this very techie thread on whether Linux's chroot should be used as a security sandboxing tool: Alan Cox is an asshole. Why is it that uber-nerds regard expertise as a license to be a complete and utter fucking tool?

Wires at an airport
How fucking retarded do you have to be to wear a hooded sweatshirt with a circuitboard and wires attached to it to an airport, ask about an incoming plane, and NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RAT'S NEST OF ELECTRONICS ON YOUR CHEST when asked?!
Jesus fucking christ...until now I didn't think it was possible to be so socially oblivious that it was life-threatening, but leave it to a goddamn MIT student to prove me wrong.
Just because you're smart does not mean you have license to tune out the world around you. You still have to be cognizant of the social environment you live in, for fuck's sake.

My shame
I have this theory that the Universe sets out specifically to turn me into a hypocrite whenever it can possibly manage it.
Consequently, I caved and bought an iPhone yesterday. Look, alright, they dropped the price $200, gave me a $100 credit on top of that, and my absolutely shitful Cingular 8125 crapped out yesterday (how can you make a pda where IMAP doesn't fucking work? What the fuck is wrong with the Windows Mobile developers?). Oh, and did I mention the fact that it cut my data cost in half? The damn thing practically pays for itself!
I didn't have a choice.

A problem of credibility
Who exactly are you going to believe: the former 20-year head of the Fed (who probably knows a thing or two about economics), or Dick Cheney?
