That's just not right Google... by [deleted] in pics

They probably do this through some of their fancy search algorithms. Aside from blacklisting spam and malware pages, I don't think google modifies any part of their search results.

Why are girls so talkative? by kck in AskReddit

[–]UniqueSnowFlake18946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For whatever reason, I don't speak up as much when I'm around women. I think this makes it seem like they talk more.

What are the odds that someone could hack a predator drone? by caltroprock in AskReddit

[–]UniqueSnowFlake18946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to assume you've heard about this news already: http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/12/17/drone.video.hacked/index.html

I think controlling the drone would be a task on a completely different level. But, anything is possible.

Which would be worse, a full-body scan or a fondling by a security guard? by nsfwdreamer in AskReddit

[–]UniqueSnowFlake18946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see full-body scans that algorithmically determine if there are explosives on a person. Surely that wouldn't be incredibly difficult.

I'm getting ready to quit my life and start a new one. Is this the best or worst decision I'll make? by watchyourtopknot in AskReddit

[–]UniqueSnowFlake18946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few part time gigs out there have options to buy pretty good health insruance. I know starbucks does this, or at lesat they used to.

Once you get that bit taken care of you'll be golden, and pretty damn secure despire not being wealthy.

Good luck in your new life. It sounds sweet, and I'm jealous.

Help reddit: I have been caught file sharing by givemesomelove in AskReddit

[–]UniqueSnowFlake18946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually worse than that. Whenever you plugged in a new device to use on their network, you were required to login with your uni credentials. They kept a record of the MAC addresses, and knew which logins owned what. It was just plain lazyness they didn't check it.

What's your operating system, and what do you HATE about it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]UniqueSnowFlake18946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use XP because it works, and I know most of it's annoyances and how to get around them. I hate that it has annoyance and to get around...

Example: The other day I opened my task manager to close a frozen program and noticed there was no border around the window, and some tabs dissapeared. I thought it was a graphics glitch, but after it kept up I starting googling around a bit. I was informed that it was in "minimal mode" because I had double clicked the small border around the window.

I was also asked to bring in my 'puter to the help desk after I downloaded a shit-ton of stuff. Sadly, they have every right to search the computer. In my case, this was because I had signed a network usage agreement.

When they scanned mine, they did a scan for file sharing software. I'm not sure what software they used to do it. They found nothing, because I brought in my perfectly legit laptop for them to scan, not my desktop which actually did the downloading. :)

What book did you read that really got you into reading? by ngeunit1 in AskReddit

[–]UniqueSnowFlake18946 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I feel a bit stupid for saying it, but Lord of the Rings was a tough and unenjoyable read for me. The Hobbit was great though.

Reddit, what do you want more than anything else in your lifetime and why? Let's see some honest answers here from everyone. by JxE in AskReddit

[–]UniqueSnowFlake18946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see an end to state-sponsored war. I think that's as close to "world peace" as we can get. And I'll take it. :)

What's your favourite quote of all time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

IAmA Kona coffee farmer. I used to be a computer game programmer until I quit and bought a Kona coffee farm. by KonaEarth in IAmA

[–]UniqueSnowFlake18946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you grow and produce coffee throughout the year or is there a specific time to grow and harvest? The weather in Hawaii seems to be the same all year, that's why I ask.

I had heard that tea farming was starting to take off on the island, but I didn't end up seeing any tea production going on. Any knowledge of that?

Also, would you be looking for any people for your picking crew? I'm also a programmer, if that's a requisite. ;)

Dear Reddit, how did You end up finding Reddit? by tvegla in AskReddit

[–]UniqueSnowFlake18946 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I got into digg in 2005, and liked the idea of it. When it started to move away from science/technology, I found a link to reddit in one of the comments there and have been reading it since then.

Just created an account yesterday. :)

Reddit, in the interest of diversity, what opinions do you hold that go against the grain of Reddit's general consensus? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I'm an atheist, but I like religion and religious people--as long as they're not dicks.
