info on JFIF thumbnail structure

ImageMagick or something can probably strip the thumbnails en masse if you want.

"Everyone who logged on, it affected to some extent, whether by causing headaches or seizures," says Browen Mead, a 24-year-old epilepsy patient in Maine who says she suffered a daylong migraine after examining several of the offending posts. She'd lingered too long on the pages trying to determine who was responsible.

Many lulz indeed. She already knew the posts were on there and she still loaded the page and stared at the graphics? Sounds like attention whoring to me.

Really, view the source, look at the backend database directly, view the actual page with colors/fonts/graphics/scripting disabled, or at the very least have someone that's not epileptic do the staring at it.

And why wasn't her first priority disabling viewing of the forums by others, and then investigating?

Sheesh.

Sad story, but sure seems like a straw man to me. Tell a grim tale of abduction for profit and thereby cast aspersions on all compensated adoptions. Either that or it's a badly written summary.

I notice Outlook is used for the exhibit. Fitting as it has the most antisocial behavior with regard to the already irritating vacation notice fad.

rasputin7: Ignore that fact that the average homeschooled kid scores FAR higher in standardized testing and so forth.

Yeah, no kidding that they will be able to parrot whatever the test expects from them. Or their religious teacher and parents. Lots of learning to contort to please the authority figure, less critical thinking (although plenty of skills as weapons to defend the approved viewpoint).

There's plenty of empirical evidence out there to support the idea that homeschooling produces young adults who can interact great with authority figures but not at all with their peers, and hence fail at life.

Hahahahaha. I was homeschooled for a few years and my parents dragged me to one of these.

I just remember the one exhibit that disproved logic or something, thusly: "1. Aristotle, Socrates, Plato etc were ancient Greeks; 2. They all had the ghey (insert copious evidence of ghey behavior, in some detail ?!); 3. The ghey is wrong (insert copious Bible quotes); 4. Therefore we must reject secular logic and science".

It won an award.

Although I am curious about the dinosaur/human footprint thing. I've seen that photo mentioned in a few places, along with a tree branch vertically through multiple layers of strata. The former especially would seem to be an example of Stephen Jay Gould's "rabbit in the Precambrian". I looked before but couldn't seem to find anything. Anyone have info confirming or debunking it? I'd appreciate it.

P.S. Watch Nova's Intelligent Design on Trial to see how intelligent design teaching as implemented is quite literally a simple renaming of Christian creationism. Amazing to see all the "Christian" creationists perjuring themselves to the court, bribing, sneaking books into classrooms, and various other shenanigans. By your fruit you shall know them indeed.

The kids can't be taken off the no fly list, because they are not on it in the first place. If they were on it, they would not eventually be allowed on the flight.

The mere existence of such a list is repugnant to the Constitution, to our natural rights, and to common decency.

I find it unlikely that an unattended nuclear power plant would melt down.

Orlando also tried to ban giving hungry people food.

Yes, Michae W. Dean, the following is in the Constitution:

To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries;

Keep in mind that there was a vigorous debate as whether this was even a good idea. What's in the Constitution was a nice compromise but it's been abused for far too long. Time to knock it back a few notches and teach people a lesson.

duus, this is why:

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England may not enter -- all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!

If Ron Paul wasn't running in this election, I'd vote for Colbert in a heartbeat.

I have wide feet. Why can't I have a pair?
