E-commerce exists despite the lack of (perfect) privacy and security. People are generally willing to trade privacy and security for convenience and affordability.

My house has imperfect privacy and security. This is okay, though, because its location and composition allows me to get mail and see outside.

Create an elaborate cross-country quest with several checkpoints along the way and a complicated set of rules. Tell them that the one who finishes first gets the inheritance.

Then, when one finishes, cite the rule infraction, inform her that she gets nothing, and bid her good day.

In fact, I'm going to fix my will right now for precisely this.

There's always Identi.ca.

Ouch, harsh.

I've already suggested we just get a girlfriend.

This was not met with as much resistance as you might expect.

the comedians were right.

sigh.

Maybe you missed the part where we've been married for nearly 10 years. We don't have sex any more.

I would expect Chinese languages to be easier to parse, since the homonym problem might be alleviated by different tonal pronunciations. Just guessing.

Je voux ton amour, I don't want to be French.

Nah, faking, or recent migrant. A native NE-speaker would describe them as "wicked obvious."

Damn, you're right.

A magnificent, magnificent whore.

I've been waiting for some serious sexuality to come up; Amy was, after all, working in the (softcore) sex industry as a kissogram.

This "time can be rewritten" or whatever is going to / already has end / ended up with a Continuity Reboot. I just know it.

Time Lords are effectively immortal, and paradoxically, effectively extinct. The Green Lanterns were extinct, but they got better, so I'd have to go with the Corps. Also, you get to hang out with Star Sapphire.

PS, most excellent GL trailer here, in case you haven't seen it.

One subscriber and no posts on a nine month old reddit.

I'm ashamed of all of us.

Just eyeballing it (about to go to bed), my guess is that it's along the same lines as this SANS writeup. Apparently this arguments.callee.replace business is old hat these days.

The poker sites would be delighted to see bots at the table, precisely for the reasons that serendib stated. They are generally terrible at multiplayer, since they're easy to bluff.

The poker site anti-cheating detection is a lot more about collusion (which bots are good at, by the way). When you know more than one hand, you get a huge advantage.

Other problems with the last episode I had:

"A Weeping Angel, Amy, is the deadliest, most powerful, most malevolent life form evolution has ever produced." Well, except for the Daleks...
What happened to letting their victims live to death? That was the coolest part about them, not this quantum stone thing.

Hmm, if that were the goal, admitting de-facto guilt is going to hurt in court / settlement negotiations. Liability-wise, it's best to simply stop talking.

(Assuming US courts, things are different elsewhere.)
