What Is Chlamydia? Snow White: Chlamydia is a lot like swallowing a poisoned apple transformed through magic by a witch. Except, instead of a poisoned apple, it’s more like bacteria living on dirty dwarf cock. Cinderella: The Chlamydia bacteria can grow in the throat, vagina, penis, or absolutely anywhere on that whore “Sleeps-Around Beauty.” Oh, I’m sorry. I mean, Aurora. Pocahontas: Chlamydia is the only thing I still have from John Smith.
How Do You Get It? Snow White: I’m not a scientist so I can only guess, but I think the smart money is on doing the rusty trombone with Happy. Jasmine: Chlamydia was invented by Jews. Ariel: I got it playing a game I like to call “Finding Nemo.”

I wonder how many other things in life go better with a BAC of .129 and .139. I guess It is time to get out the party breath-a-lizer and do some experiments. XKCD: Balmer Peak |

RE: MIT student arrested for entering Boston airport with art project |

Decius wrote: She's extremely lucky she followed the instructions or deadly force would have been used," Pare told The Associated Press. "And she's lucky to be in a cell as opposed to the morgue."
The quote above is a Massachusetts State Police Officer publicly threatening to murder an MIT student who accidentally showed up at the airport wearing an electronic art project. She has, yet again, been charged with carrying out a hoax. Remember kids, anytime a Massachusetts police officer is confused, its your fault for confusing them, and not theirs for being fucking stupid and paranoid, and you are likely to go to prison or worse if it happens.

I know this is a bullshit post, but do you think cases like this could be used as legal precedent for others to escape conviction of DUI, drug possession, etc? LINDSAY WILL NOT BE CHARGED - What Would Tyler Durden Do |

It looks like the world's highest production cost car show, Top Gear, is coming to America. BBC America that is. That's right -- Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May won't just be stopping by to hoon around a bit like they did last time, instead it looks as though they'll be coming stateside to a local cable operator near you -- at least according to the BBC America site. They're showing off air times starting on August 20th with "Episode 1."
I can't wait! Top Gear: Top Gear UK Is Coming To BBC America! |

Demanding the source code for the Intoxilyzer 5000EN |

A Minnesota man accused of drunk driving has sued to see the source code of the Intoxilyzer 5000EN machine that busted him, and the state Supreme Court is allowing the request to go forward. His attorney told the paper, "The problem is, the manufacturer of the thing thinks they can hold it back and not tell anybody how it works. For all we know, it's a random number generator." If they’re going to be accused based on what some machine says, then they ought to be allowed to challenge the accuracy of the machine. And they can't do that unless they’re allowed to know how the machine works.
Who is doing the QA work for these state certification programs? What if the machine was off by a 100th of a BAC measurement? I applaud this effort, even if it is just a slick way to get out of a DUI. Demanding the source code for the Intoxilyzer 5000EN |

Data Visualization: Modern Approaches |

Data presentation can be beautiful, elegant and descriptive. There is a variety of conventional ways to visualize data - tables, histograms, pie charts and bar graphs are being used every day, in every project and on every possible occasion. However, to convey a message to your readers effectively, sometimes you need more than just a simple pie chart of your results. In fact, there are much better, profound, creative and absolutely fascinating ways to visualize data. Many of them might become ubiquitous in the next few years.
So what can we expect? Which innovative ideas are already being used? And what are the most creative approaches to present data in ways we’ve never thought before? I've personally used IBM's Many Eyes and I'm thankful they make such a service freely available. Also, I secretly have a crush on Fernanda B. Viégas; one of the researchers that worked on Many Eyes. Oops, I guess it's not a secret anymore. Data Visualization: Modern Approaches |
