lastres0rt on I hope the GOP keeps up the anti-contraceptive rhetoric. That'll be just about as popular as stating the gov't should ban bacon. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"It's the consuming the bacon that's the issue. I can't imagine it being any issue to buy someone else bacon (say, you're covering lunch for a friend, and they ordered a BLT). Heck, I remember an article a while ago where some Israeli operatives trained pigs to guard border towns because they didn't have the "OMG KEEP AWAY" issues that Muslims had with 'em."

"Yeah, my general attitude is "If I'm in a situation where I intend to use this [X], I don't think anyone cares if it's legal." There's the issue of getting searched by cops, yes, but c'mon... Also, Stingerette is your friend."

"[They suggest on this page](http://gotech.gatech.edu/plugins...) carrying pepper spray, and I know I've seen folks considering / buying knives (though how legal that is, I don't know...)"

"There is a difference between "Other religions existing" and "Actually knowing WTF you're doing" in regards to them. One rather pointed reminder came when I was in elementary school... I was out for the High Holy Days and not only did the school HOLD A FIELD TRIP during one of those days, I was also expected to complete some sort of test / assignment the day afterwards which was about the field trip I never went on. As though there was no valid reason I could've possibly had to miss that particular day..."

"Yeah, yeah, preaching to the choir. That said, I don't assume everyone is on the same page, so to speak, so getting folks who might not be as involved to read this is still a good idea."

"I think Ron Paul is focusing on caucus states precisely because they're not WTA. I imagine he could do a lot better in primaries if he thought he had a chance of winning some primary states outright instead of just collecting 2nd place delegates each time."

lastres0rt on The Original Creator of Ghost Rider Ordered to Pay Marvel $17,000 (yes, you read that right) for Creating Ghost Rider. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"It may be a "new thing", but as more and more indie creators come out of the woodwork and decide they're not interested in working on enriching some other company's IP... well, we're already seeing some of the early fallout of that. Granted, Ghost Rider was developed in the 70's, before the main "Creator's Rights" movement, but even so..."

lastres0rt on My wife loves to talk to Siri. After she saw a post on r/iphone, this happened. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
""Miles" seems to be a location. Siri interpreted your question as "what is the time in location(Miles)" instead of as a math problem."

lastres0rt on My friend was just diagnosed with aspergers. He has been pretty down. However I think if ladyboners had a look at him it might cheer him up. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Well, in this case it was using a concept we already understand (a book) as little more than padding for packaging. It's not that books don't still have A utility, it's that for their original intended purpose (a vehicle for plain text), we have much better alternatives now. Once you move away from that even slightly (high quality pictures and diagrams, interactive puzzles like crosswords, etc.) books still have a decisive advantage."

"There's plenty of reasons for this underrepresentation, most of them capricious cultural bullshit, and certainly not reason to state that "women can't program". Programming is a lot like drawing: EVERYONE can do it to some degree. Not everyone can build their own compiler, but the idea that I haven't done so yet doesn't mean that I can't or I couldn't be taught how to. (Actually, I may have done it early on in my CS education; I just forgot that I did. Shows you how important knowing how to do that stuff is, eh?)"
