DaemonFCYeah, you see those people at Walmart. The woman that is so fat that you wonder how she wipes is my favorite. I bet she can't reach up there and resorts to stuffing toilet paper up her crack instead. Whatever unlucky person that Medicare pays to bathe her once a week is in for a pleasant surprise.Aug 05 06:12
DaemonFCThey always putt around on those electric carts that Walmart has, so that they 90 year olds have to walk around the store.Aug 05 06:12
DaemonFCI call the fat ladies the toilet paper stuffers. You just know that's what they're doing, the act of wiping has to be physically impossible.Aug 05 06:12

schestowitzIn general, I am disappointed by the EFF's half measures. Software patents are not technically legal and should be eliminated rather than accepted. The nearest analogy I can think of it how the tobacco industry fought anti-smoking legislation by introducing a raft of half laws to oppose, like "no smoking areas" in restaurants.Aug 05 17:41

DaemonFCschestowitz: when a credit card customer defaults, eventually the debt is "written off", then they go and up the rate that other customers pay to borrow moneyAug 05 18:27
DaemonFCso basically, the ones who don't pay their bills screw everyone elseAug 05 18:27

DaemonFCwhatever I put on it yesterday gets paid off todayAug 05 18:28
DaemonFCit may seem pointless, but it's notAug 05 18:28
DaemonFCmy card gives me a small discount for using it, so I may as wellAug 05 18:29
DaemonFCit's not a lotAug 05 18:29
DaemonFC$400 in purchases = $5 back from the card company on most stuffAug 05 18:29
DaemonFCbut there's "bonus categories" that rotate in and outAug 05 18:30
DaemonFCso some months I get 5% on gasAug 05 18:30
DaemonFCsome months it is groceriesAug 05 18:30
DaemonFCsome months it is clothesAug 05 18:30
DaemonFCto some extent, you can plan to buy things based on what month you'll get bonus cash or what merchant will give you a bonus discount for shopping thereAug 05 18:31
DaemonFClast month I bought a new pair of shoes for $60, but ended up paying $56.25 back to the card companyAug 05 18:31
DaemonFCit's an incentive to bury yourself in debt, but you "can" pay it back right away and not accumulate any interestAug 05 18:32
DaemonFCso as long as you don't spend money you don't have, you can farm the discountsAug 05 18:32
DaemonFCthis three month block (June, July, August), I get 6.25% back at Kroger, but the pre-discount amount is counted to my store "loyalty card"Aug 05 18:34
DaemonFCso I ended up getting enough points for 10 cents a gallon off my last gas fill up at their store's gas station, and I got 10 minutes on my cell phone too, and ended up getting that for buying $100 worth of groceries, which ended up costing like $93.75 after my credit card discountAug 05 18:35
DaemonFCit's a complicated set of "incentives" they have but you can stack them up and make the money go a little bit further Aug 05 18:36
DaemonFCthe $100 worth of groceries I ended up buying were all loss leader itemsAug 05 18:36
DaemonFCfilled my freezer up with things like those frozen pizzas that go on sale all the timeAug 05 18:37
DaemonFCI eat lots of that kind of stuff anyway :)Aug 05 18:37
DaemonFCso it's just a matter of making my money go a little further than it would if I didn't botherAug 05 18:37
DaemonFCmost people don't, they just go in the store and do their monthly shopping there and end up paying so much markup that they obliterate any savings they accumulatedAug 05 18:38
DaemonFCso as a matter of fact, I am a net loss for Kroger each monthAug 05 18:38
DaemonFCthey know that every once in a while, someone like me will come along and just farm their sales and points systems and discounts and so on, and lose them a little money, but they're looking at the bigger pictureAug 05 18:39

DaemonFCI told her that the Affordable Care Act says that if a group plan doesn't pay out at least 80% of what it takes in each year in medical expenses, it has to send you what's left as a rebate instead of giving it out as CEO bonus moneyAug 05 20:06

DaemonFCI go back to my argument that people should not have to guess what they're eating or multiply calories x arbitrary serving sizesAug 05 20:34

DaemonFCI think that people should just find a way to treat the tap water instead of paying a company to suck out millions of gallons of groundwater from a central location, put it all in "disposable" plastic bottles, and burn diesel sending it all over the countryAug 05 21:14

DaemonFC"Regarding the "leak", Microsoft does these intentionally, it's a PR stunt. It's unofficial, but they do it every time. Why else would EVERY SINGLE internal development copy of Windows find its way out onto "piracy" sites?Aug 05 22:55
DaemonFCIt is true that some "pirate" versions of Windows have unexpected malware, but it's also true that Windows itself is malware no matter where you get it. So, the malware rate for Windows is 100% right off the bat, since it controls and manipulates the user on behalf of Microsoft.Aug 05 22:55
DaemonFCSome people ask whether Microsoft or Apple is a better choice. The truthAug 05 22:55
DaemonFCis that they are a false choice. They are really the same thingAug 05 22:55

MinceRsomething regarding DRM, WMP and updates was in the winblows EULA i read onceAug 05 23:00
DaemonFCwell, it is a component of WindowsAug 05 23:00
DaemonFCwhen you say that Windows is malicious software, you are covering any software that comes with it as wellAug 05 23:00
DaemonFCthe only thing that makes IE or WMP a Windows component is that Microsoft won't allow you to uninstall them (not really anyway, although it may let you delete a few shortcuts)Aug 05 23:02
