If you like conspiracy theories, occult stuff, or just wierd shit you will get a kick out of them. The scarry part is that some parts of these may actually be true…
I had one of these lunch conversations today… It actually started when one of the girls expressed her concern about the well being of the music industry. For some reason she really believed in the RIAA propaganda. So I explained to her how they actually calculate their “lost sales”. I explained how they are clinging to an outdated business model that will die within next 4-5 years. I told them that the only way for entertainment industry to make profit using it’s current model, is to stop all technological progress in the digital media. Hell, not only stop but roll back and outlaw some of the technologies we enjoy today.
It actually made them think for a bit. They just realized that there were actually 2 sides to this story. I figured that there is still hope for humanity 
Unfortunately, I lost the thread of the conversation and somehow the topic ended up on wiretaps. Not a good topic because people tend to get really worked up when you talk about politics.
What do you say to a director when she claims “If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about” and follows it up with “People who don’t like how we do things here in US can just pack up and leave”? Sigh… This is what we call a politically induced cognitive blockage. Further discussion of the subject is pointless.
In cases like that I usually shut up, and let people sort it out themselves. The last thing I want is to have an all out political argument at the workplace 
It is very difficult to change people’s views on political matters. It’s just like trying to convince someone that their religion might be wrong about something. In both cases you need to shatter world views - otherwise the discussion wont go anywhere.
What saddens me the most though, is that the outrageous breach of constitution like the unlawful wiretapping was diminished to a minor political issue. This is something all Americans should be angry about…
You know how Taco Bell always runs those commercials about their Crunchwrap™ thing being all portable and “Good to go™”? Guess what - they lie like dogs!
The crunchwrap is anything but portable. Today I popped into the local Taco Bell and grabbed one to go, cause I was in a hurry. I decided to eat it quickly at the bus stop while studying programming languages. I figured that I should be able to eat the damn crunchwrap with one hand and use the other hand to hold my book.
But that does not work that well… You see, a Cruchwrap contains the usual taco garbage inside - lettuce, tomatoes, and etc… That stuff starts falling out as soon as you take a bite out of the thing. In addition they did not fold my crunchwrap right, so it had a hole on top, and was falling apart to begin with.
This type of food was just not made to be portable. Remember this whenever you see that stupid commercial again. It’s not “Good to go™”. It is tasty but not portable!
The title of the mobile fast food of the year still belongs to the Chicken Quesadilla. This is possibly the easiest food to eat on the go…
Wait… Why the fuck am I going on and on about Taco Bell????
It seems that I’m not the only one who hates the stupid British show IT Crowd.
I have seriously no clue what people see in that pile of stinking garbage. It’s not funny, it’s not clever and most importantly it is not geeky. It’s a lame, lame show.
The people who like this show should turn in their geek badges and quit IT forever.
