TSA Screeners Miss 75% of Bombs and Explosives

kronosposeidon says...

I'm happy to report that the TSA screeners successfully identified and confiscated my toothpaste on my way out of Phoenix's Sky Harbor airport. It slipped right past the screeners on my way in from Denver. Suckers!

From the looks of the object in this video, the TSA should ban all tampons. That's fine; just leave my Crest Sensitivity® toothpaste alone.

Girl Gets Answer Very Wrong

Diogenes says...

yet again, rubadub is correct

the little girl's answer most likely wouldn't be offensive to asians "in asia"

i have often heard chinese people refer to themselves as "yellow people" here in china -- as an interesting aside, calling a single chinese individual "yellow" in chinese can have a negative connotation, but that involves a play on words in chinese wherein a stronger inflection on the latter half of the chinese word for yellow (hwang-SU) means that a person is perverted, not cowardly

here is another example of a very popular, contemporary asian product which we in the west would likely find highly offensive:

"darlie" (nee "darkie") or "hei-ren" ("black man") toothpaste

Faux News/Norton Antivirus fail

Zonbie says...

Um - virus' and trojans have appeared on ipods, music players and other hardware. Visiting hi-jacked websites can also infect you. (at my old work an art reference site was hijacked, giving me an afternoon of scanning and deleting malware...over 100 items in total) Anyone who thinks that anti-virus software is a 'scam' is headed under 'toothpaste is a lie devised by dentists in order to make you spend money'.

Free anti-virus is better than none, but its not as good as most subscription based systems.

Best way to infect someone, hijack a website and run the script. Also jpeg's can and have been known to hide virus' and with the increase in the MAC's user base, it too is starting to come under attack.

If you don't have any anti-virus then you are crippling everyone else, as a zombie pc is used to infect others.
(And no, there is no obvious way of knowing without scanning)

the 'macs don't get viruses' is a load of bollocks. You are less likely, granted, but not immune.

How to Tell Real Breasts from Fake

Attenborough - Truth about Global Warming

GeeSussFreeK says...

Ya, I agree, this graph reminds me of looking on the back of a tube of toothpaste. You see this graph with no real values mapped out with their brand beating out the leading brand by some non-nominal amount. Not only that, but this graph seems REALLY short in terms of global geological events. And you are exactly right as well BC, they can't even predict the weather for next month correctly and I am supposed to have 100% faith in their even longer reaching predictions? Not to say that clean isn't smart and nice, who likes smog really? But I have take major issue with this "assume a spherical cow" model of prediction for anything other than tomorrows weather.

A Letter From California Senator Barbara Boxer (Politics Talk Post)

blankfist says...

When I woke up this mornin I felt a pang.
I was hungerin for some apple pie.
Stumble in the bathroom, hung my hog a little bit.
Washed the sleep out of my eye.
Oh yeah, its gonna be a fine day.
Scratched myself a bit.
Poured me out a bowl-a corn chex.
Closest thing I could find to apple pie.
Lingerin taste of toothpaste
Made the milk go down a bit funny.
But you know, them chex they do satisfy.
Oh yeah, thisll be a fine day.
So, after my mornin rise-n-shine and eat-n-clean.
Had my mind set to hit them streets.
Drizzle from the night left cold puddles out.
Had my black stomp-boots on my feet.
Its my day.

Since I was in kneepants my pop had tried to make me realize. if i
Set my mind down to it I could be a big man in the public eye. so
With my big blue collar on, I set out to find the easy way. what an
Ice cold bath it was when I found you had to pay to play. to taste
The taste its a tease that never would subside. the taste is strong
But soured by my learned eyes. well, if a woodchuck could chuck wood,
Hed get down on his knees to pray. this little snappy boy might see
The light this ground hogs day.

Malcolm Gladwell on spaghetti sauce & happiness (TED talk)

kymbos says...

I find myself completely disagreeing with him on this. I think that this diversity may have sold more tomato sauce for the firms who embraced it, but has not made us notably happier. I couldn't tell you what type of tomato sauce makes me happier, and I just choose whatever is in front of me when I'm in the store.

Our obsession with choice has led us to the mistaken conclusion that choice equals happiness, when in reality it just means more choice and greater market share for larger companies who can diversify further.

Next time you go to the supermarket, look at the toothpaste and toothbrushes. There are hundreds of them. Do you seriously think they are marketing to different tastes? Rubbish - they're owned by the same two companies who diversify like crazy to stop any new firms from cutting into their market and convincing us morons that we need ridges on the back of our toothbrush to scrub our tongues.

In fact, I'm sure I've seen studies that show we prefer a choice of up to five options, and beyond that we get confused by the range and just make an arbitrary choice.
