  Re: So much for karma

  Re: Why not demand we use resealable envelopes for snailmail?

  Who says that there are not already scanning the contents of all private mail already?
  If I can already do a full penetration scan in the lab, albeit slowly, who says they are not already doing it now with higher end hardware now?

  Why just there?
  They took over, upgraded and added content to a child porn website, thus encouraging the abuse of children worldwide.
  I'm wondering how much of the new content they produced themselves.

  Re: Re:

  Technically not free since it has already been paid for with advertising revenue. I find it irksome that there even are ads on channels I paid up front for.
  Even more so when the original broadcast didn't have any ... see any public broadcasting service available on local cable. Those are already fully paid for and costs them absolutely nothing yet we have to pay a premium and still get inundated with commercials.

  For varying numbers of fools and ignoramuses.
  Mind, ignorance is treatable through knowledge.

  Re:

  All to true which is why some form of patronage or sponsorship is a more viable model for the artist. They get to eat today and not await the largesse of some fat publishing industry types who control their creativity. A number of popular series were axed due to bellow expected sales where sales were limited to one region, despite a huge online fanbase willing to pay/donate to the artist to compete the story. When it comes to fansubs the quality varies though the truly stellar invariably run afoul of publishers and artists with more ego than good sense alienating the fanbase with horrible official translations.

  Well the various mafias try and avoid those types since they are bad for business.
  Biker gangs require physical fortitude.
  That pretty much leaves a government position with easy access to the preferred victim types.

  Re: Re: Re: Re:

  Get your similes in order.
  Paint chips are a solid.
  Guzzel refers to quaffing a liquid quickly. Guzzle lead paint would have worked with the implied state of the paint being liquid and consumed in mass quantities. Scarf paint chips would also have worked making an analogy with tortilla or potato chips. I like the second one since it implies the existence of at least one dip in the equation.

  Re: hospital attendant bed

  This spam instigated a thought. Why not collect the statistics from the hospitals or the insurance companies? Do they record not only injuries sustained but the sources thereof during triage for claims purposes.
