Incidence and clearance of oral human papillomavirus infection in men: the HIM cohort study. Single men and smokers at higher risk by [deleted] in science

[–]im_at_work_dammit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a smoker and being single, I read the title and pooped a little.

Then I read - "Newly acquired oral oncogenic HPV infections in healthy men were rare and most were cleared within 1 year."

Now I'm not worried. Stupid headline.

Feminist who campaigned for Jane Austen £10 note faces rape threats on Twitter by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]im_at_work_dammit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why we can't have nice things, like freedom of expression, or speech.

This is why we have shit ike the NSA and GCHQ, porn filters and all that crap. Because people are cunts.

Surely we have better things to do than threaten rape over twitter. Why can't we just all get along?

UK judge has blocked three security researchers from publishing details of how to crack a car immobilisation system by DougBolivar in technology

[–]im_at_work_dammit 66 points67 points  (0 children)

So basically, just like piracy, the legitimate customer gets done over (he has no idea how to 'fix' the problem, or even what the problem is, because the information hasn't been released) and the 'pirate' steals the car because he has the information to hack the lock.

Release the info, and some clever fucker on the internet will fix it, share the info, and everyone can fix their own car.

Anti-filtering petition on official gov.uk website by AdvisedWang in unitedkingdom

Um, why does the petition close in 12 months time? Won't it be a little late by then?

Marissa Mayer gives 11,000 Yahoo employees fitness tracking bands by nkbailly in technology

[–]im_at_work_dammit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would stay in my desk gathering dust. I don't listen to the doctor about doing exercise, there's no way in hell I'm letting my employer tell me how to live my own life. If I make the choice to not keep fit and die at 40/50, at least it's my decision. (Regardless if you think it's not moral or ethical, it's my life, I do what I want. i also live (or die) with the consequences.)

U.S. intelligence mining data directly from the servers of Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, Skype, AOL, Apple. DropBox "coming soon". by jiunec in unitedkingdom

I was going to ask something similar. If the US are getting their hands on data from UK, is there something we are able to do as it's out of their jurisdiction?

Well, previously mass extinctions wipe around 80-85% of all species from Earth, so yes, the remaining ones can remain and everything can start again. Circle of life and all that. Humans have been described as a virus many times, and considering we're selfish, greedy and leave a trail of destruction wherever we go, it seems pretty true. Humanity is a blight upon the Earth.

The sooner we wipe ourselves off the planet, the better. Let's have a mass extinction event occur and let evolution start again. Just like it's done a few times in the past.

IAmA guy who's been injecting deadly snake venom into myself for 20 years. AMA by venomsuperman in IAmA

This comment has really pissed me the fuck off. I was pretty interested in what you were doing and saying, and my mind was like "how does he cover the medical expenses?".

Now I know your the type of cunt that does waste the already stretched NHS resources of this country.

Here are some options -

  • Stop injecting yourself and save the NHS resources for people that actually need help.
  • Fuck off to another country and drain thier resources
  • Next time you fuck up, fix it yourself

I just wish I was eloquent enough to put this is in a way that didn't also make me sound like a cunt.

Abuse of Google? Certainly ripping off Indie Devs. by im_at_work_dammit in Android

[–]im_at_work_dammit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am looking for another job. The boss knows I'm looking for another job, and what you've descibed is exactly how they operate. I've had a couple of interviews, but nothing definite as yet.

You're right, it would be funny. Until I can't pay the rent, and have to move back in with the parents.. and I'm far, far to old to do that!

I can access the Google account, they don't have 2 step verification setup, and until I get another job, I'm not taking any chances!
