Okay, it's wrong to tell real users to re-install Windows. But I admit it's fun asking users that are using Mac or Linux if they have already done that. Once.

RE: Stupid Secretary WTF
In the "blindly following policy" column, I've had a clerk ask for my photo ID when I was using a card with my photo on the front of it. They did realize what they had done about the time I pulled my wallet out, at least.

While we have officially adopted the metric system, since the majority of Canada's population is very close to the US border, we tend to use both systems simultaneously. Nearly every thermometer has both scale on it. Our cars list velocity in both miles/hour and km/hour. We use pounds instead of kilograms for human weight. Feet and inches for height. I favour the metric system, personally, but many use the US system most of the time. We're simply too close with the US to stop using their system entirely.@SuperousOxide said:
I thought Canada had switched to Celcius with the rest of the world. It may be zero degrees F up there, but you don't see it because your thermometers say -18 C.unless you live in some of those northern states you don't see it much.
Ah. The joys of living in the state of Canada.The US does use metric for a few things. Wine and spirits are almost exclusively sold in metric units. Soda and bottled water often are (500ml, 1 & 2 liter). The speedometers and thermometers have both (digital thermos may have an either/or setting). I have seen rare highway signage showing distance in kilometers. Most grocery goods, in addition to the old units, have the metric sizes (weight, volume, whatever) on them, though they're not happy even numbers.

Going off of science, you actually can't say that the Jesus who is still alive is fictional - science can only disprove, not prove. So unless you can somehow conclusively prove that an immortal Jesus does not exist anywhere in the universe (which would require observing the entire universe simultaneously), you cannot say with certainty that the common christian conception of Jesus is fictional.
Same with God. Unless you can prove He does not exist anywhere in the universe (which, again, would require observing the entire universe simultaneously), you cannot say with scientific certainty that God does not exist.
No. Just...No. Or did I miss the announcement that today was opposite day? If so, my apologies!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_proof(Sorry for double-post but I had to bite)
When taken to extremes, the only thing that can be proven absolutely is math. It has no dependence on external senses and exists (or can exist) entirely within the mind even if all that you see and hear is a mirage. Not that this is a great way to go about life, since my imaginary universe has predictable consequences for my imaginary actions. :-)
And Wikipedia's analogy of criminal proceedings is somewhat flawed. At least in the US (I think this is different in ... Scotland?), we do not find people "innocent" but rather "not guilty." Other than that, it was an interesting article.

Is the number plate glowing?
I'd guess it's just made of highly reflective material, which reacted to the camera flash a little more strongly than the everything else in the scene.
They used that reflective coating and lights around the camera to get "glow" effects on the cheap in Dr Who. It's used on most if not all vehicle plates here in the US.

RE: AVG existentialism
"Void* is not actually void* - Best error message EVER!
Nope. This loses to "Parameter is of type parameter. Cannot be parameter." But it's close :-)
