  I love sonic booms

  They are the "sound of freedom" according the huge National Guard billboard that was near my house in the early 1960s.
  Convair F-102 Delta Daggers would fly fairly low over my house.

• On the post: QR Codes: Ugly, Overused and Doomed

  

  DaveTechDirt03 ( profile ), 09 Mar, 2012 @ 01:19pm

  I use QR codes

  As a consumer, I use QR codes.
  When I am walking by a house with a For Sale sign and there is a QR code, I can, typically, scan the code and find out some more info about the house.
  
  As a marketeer, I am using (well, my customers are using) QR codes.
  1. A realtor who sells rural property. The For Sale sign does not tell you price and features. A box with flyers is nonsense. The QR code is perfect. You scan and are shown a single webpage that fits on a phone screen and it shows: price, major features and contains a call to action.
  2. An energy-saving company. They put QR codes on their trucks. (The URL is also on the truck.) Scanning the code takes you to a webpage with a discount offer and a call to action.

  "Nerds targeted in the real world by bullies could push back...And so, the Troll was born."
  
  What?!
  I am a nerd. I was born a nerd and I was never bullied for being a nerd.
  I troll because I can.
  I enjoy starting a word fight, but it has nothing to do with being bullied.
  Trolling is similar to poking a stick into a hornets' nest (which I did, once) to see what will happen.
  Trolling is fun.
  
  BTW. The Washington Times: a newspaper written by troglodyte for the ignorant lumpen proles.

  Eating causes huge drop in productivity.

  Studies have shown (cf. Nazi concentration camps) that allowing workers to eat causes a drop in productivity. It makes more sense to just work them until they die. Replacements (cf. booming populations in certain parts of the world) are easy to come by.

• On the post: Dentist Has To Pay Legal Fees For Suing Yelp & Reviewer Over Bad Review

  

  DaveTechDirt03 ( profile ), 25 May, 2011 @ 08:13am

  Just so we keep the idiot dentist's name in lights.

  "The ruling, issued last week by Santa Clara Superior Court Judge Peter Kirwan, directs dentist Yvonne Wong to pay attorneys' fees and legal costs to Yelp, as well as Tai Jing and Jia Ma, parents of a 6-year-old patient of Wong's."
