🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
-
Should have crossed the border to get my driver's license
-
So you could have paid for lessons (paying for driving lessons seems wonky to me anyway) with services?
-
Why driving lessons particularly?
Like... isn't prostitution there legal in general? Or does it have to be made legal for literally every possible industry that might make use of it? Now that it's settled for driving instructors, who's next? Plumbers?
-
Now only thing left is finding a hot female instructor ...
-
It's an important detail that the bug is in GRUB, not Linux.
And I've never personally seen a GRUB loader with a password.

From other things in the article (below) it sounded like you need a license to practice legally, which would make using it to pay for other things wonky.
@article said:
Segers described such transactions as "illegal prostitution" and called for them to be banned. He argued that learner-drivers would not have the requisite escort license, and so would not be declaring any sexual acts for tax reasons.
-
Exchanging A for B is OK but not B for A
Really, the logical absurdities you can find in every legal system make the software world seem like a beacon of sanity. If this forum was "The Daily Legal WTF", we'd have overloaded Discourse so much it wouldn't even start.
Also, post #10000, check'em.

Now that I have spent some time in the same room as a 1W laser pointer I am entirely convinced that they are a bad idea.
-
1 Watt?
That's not a laser pointer. That's an excuse to get 3rd degree burns.
-
But you (the student) can't ask....
-
-
Who the hell puts such a large mirror in the vicinity of a laser above 5 mW? That's just asking for blindness in both eyes.
Also: Bare hands? Moron. And considering that he seems to have filmed that one in his bath room - he probably also didn't have the proper safety goggles...
-
It's an important detail that the bug is in GRUB, not Linux.
If you ask the average person who's not a Linux nerd, they will not appreciate the distinction. I know the distinction and I don't appreciate it!
My Linux knowledge is years out of date but I always thought Grub was written for Linux.

**Bad idea:**strong text As the man says, if you have "fuck cops" tattooed on your forehead, don't commit crimes! Unless you're trying to clean the gene pool, I guess.
-
if you have "fuck cops" tattooed on your forehead,
don't commit crimesbecome a police officer and marry another police officerFTFY
-
GRUB works for pretty much every open source OS (it's GRand Unified Bootloader after all)... it's just that you don't see many open source OSs apart from Linux.
But the bug is not on the standard Linux login prompt. That's the important detail.

It's a YouTube video not CERN. At least there weren't children jumping around.

A Siberian gamer is suing the makers of Fallout-4 after he lost his job and broke up with his wife because of the video game. He wants 500,000 roubles (US$7,000) in compensation from the company, saying he did not know the game would “become so addictive.”
...
He regularly skipped work, which resulted in his employers firing him. He stopped meeting up and speaking with friends, and his wife left him. His health also started to deteriorate as he was not sleeping or eating.
-
They could make a deal and use it as advertisement
-
-
Well, at least it can't be hacked, because it doesn't have any wired or wireless network connectivity...
-
If you pay extra you can get the deluxe version that has hunter2 preprinted in the password field.

And the deluxe version will also automatically mask your password whenever anyone else looks at it!

I suppose that it couldn't be any worse than keeping all your passwords in a digital store...
Well that answers that.
-
Somebody should tell @another_sam... he might need to generate another 5d6 master password for his password manager.

It could be worse: he could be rolling 5d6, then adding the dice together to get a password (average password: 17.5).

I keep my password database on my own devices... which includes an Android phone. Bugger, now Google have all my passwords! Oh noes!
-
I keep my password
using rotating encryption, keyed based on the current year.
Now you all know why I keep asking what year it is!

So like:

So close! Actually, more like ■■■■■■■■■■■■!
Edit: Dangit Discourse! Stop hiding my password! Oh wait, maybe that's a good thing...

Damn now you know my password.
All I see is stars...

Oh dear, that sounds like a whoosh to me...
Look up hunter2 on the internets.

I would, but a selection of stars is kinda hard to google...

Here we see the rare counter-whoosh in its natural habitat.

Practicing your "quick draw" with a loaded gun in a busy airport:

Try this in Texas, you sons of bitches, and you'd probably get shot.
-
That's fucking HILARIOUS!
Probably staged, but still. That guy who tried running up the escalator was the best.
-
Akh! Whoever placed that sign NEEDS TO DIE!
-
What if they don't own the adjacent storefront?
-
It would still look a little wonky with the other storefront having a sign, but without them having one the poor choice on having the part that sticks up branch two stores is really brought to mind. Less about sign placement bad idea and more about the architect's bad idea.
-
Looks to me like the sign is centered above the store entrance - pretty much what you would expect. The :WTF: (if any) is as @locallunatic says about the architect.
-
Bad idea: A 42-second, no-skip Viagra commercial on a 46-second video. Nothing like having Viagra shoved in your face:

Reminds me of a western comic from when I was a kid. The cowboy was all scorched, ashed cigarette dangling from his lips and complained, "I don't see how those guys at NASA can handle that rocket fuel, when I can't sit here and enjoy a smoke while using a little gasoline to clean my hat."
-
Kept my mouth shut at Christmas dinner when one guest happened to mention that their new granddaughter was given the name "Emerson".
Just waiting until she develops enough to start hearing "Emerson nice titties you got there".
-
It's a damn shame I don't know any girls named Emerson.
