Perhaps you just aren't smart enough to see the obvious. Perhaps you are lost and confused.

Note that this article is from zero hedge. There are 500 million lines of code? I don't buy that. How about some documentation on that? Never happened with ZH.

I always research my own diagnosis,

No you research the disease, not the diagnosis.

No, I always do both. With something as important as a diagnosis or a potential disease, I would always research the heck out of them and get a second opinion, and often a third and fourth opinion.

What if you drink and do some mnemonic exercises, while smashed?

Doesn't that simply kill the bad cells and strengthen the good ones?

How did they get a bunch of drunks to take IQ tests over and over?

How did they know how they would test if sober?

If they were comparing the drunks to a less drunk or non drinking control, I would say the drunks did pretty darned good by comparison.

If you sobered them up, they might even do better than the controls.

bgamall4 says

Apparently that was not what was seen by many, many people. You may be right, or you may not be right. You weren't there. They were.

Neither were you there. People said they saw a streak of light and then an explosion. The streak of light was the plane, on fire. The explosion was the plane exploding. No mystery there. No reason to turn it into something it was not.

Oh of course I forgot, it's on the web so it has to be true. Every single article about the 500 million lines of code goes back to a single article in the NY Times that says "According to one specialist, the Web site contains about 500 million lines of software code" Who is this mysterious specialist and how do we know he/she is telling the truth or even knows the truth? Gee I guess no one has ever told a NY Times reporter a lie before. You think?

CGI's people wrote 500 million lines of code in less than 18 months, including analysis and design. Bullshit. A lot of you guys are coders, you know this is bullshit. No one has ever done anything even remotely close to that starting from scratch.

No no, Big Mal -- honeslty, I just think that ol gal's got her salmon grabber mashed into the poor girl's face, distorting her lip upward to resemble a kind of smile.

Look to the eyes. Those are not smiling eyes.

I'll drink to that

I think the results show that....

You only need 1 line of code to have a poorly designed and functioning program if you do it right.

Accenture.

I am sure they'll spend the money.

Working system and auditable performance and iron-clad security tech and protocols?

Accenture?

Well, they could have gone with Deloitte!!!

So by your own sarcastic volition everything you say must be false.

Interesting. Drinking will really give us effects such as this. Just like in smoking, which is considered life threatening since it is the cause of so much disease that lead to death. Though, drinking cause less, we can still tell that mental decline is something we should think about.

Crude photoshop of what she might look like if her cheek weren't being smashed upwards.

Crude photoshop of what she might look

Photoshop? You mean that there are pictures that might have been altered? You mean you can't trust what is posted on the internet? No say it ain't so joe. If it's on the internet it HAS to be true. It HAS to be true. Pictures like this PROVE there are massive hoax's being put on every day. They PROVE it!!!! Why if the pictures were photoshopped the hoax truthers would actually be hoaxers. We would have a hoax death spiral. The mind boggles at the possibilities.

Ok you can delete it now mosquito dick.

No, that's a very poor read of what I said. I don't believe in things that come from an obscure anonomous reference to be engraved in stone especially when they seem very unlikely. Even when someone puts them up in a very nice looking chart.

It's called skepticism, something that somehow seems to be lost when dealing with the internet. Maybe there are 500 million lines of code, but I don't know that and neither do you so your assertions that having 500 million lines of code is the problem are meaningless.

In a word tautology

The median income today is about $51,000, while the median home price is
$328,000.

Source? That median home price sounds way too high.

www.census.gov/const/uspricemon.pdf

is a bit out of date, but shows it in the low $200s.

i published the newspaper at my school for about 10 years. the biggest problem i had when taking pictures is that some people will always look into the camera and smile, regardless the circumstances taking place. i never figured out the rhyme or reason, just realized i had to talk to them first and stage some realism!

Call it Crazy says

We already know you don't read complete threads for the answers... Go check
out the post above from your butt-buddy, you'll find what you're looking
for....

Wow--lots of sarcasm from someone who doesn't know the difference between average and median.

Care to try again?

So what is your point?

My point is, the girl is not laughing. Her cheek and the side of her mouth are being pushed up by the woman's arm.

Call it Crazy says

Who knows how many lines there are, but the question is, can ANY company go in and re-work all the operational pieces in a few months and get it to work right??

No. What does that have to do with what I said? You're the one who said "all 500 million lines".

MrEd says

Then why should we believe you

Believe me about what? I said that in my opinion is that there isn't 500 million lines of code or even close. That's why it's called an opinion, there's nothing to believe. If I said there ARE less than 500 million lines of code then that's called a statement and you are free to believe or disbelieve me. Or even prove me wrong if you can find any proof.

You are one dumb fuck.

Whoah! Geezus, Big Mal! You do not cuss a guy out for simply disagreeing with you!

But...let's go with your premise: let's say the girl isn't having her face distorted by an overly huggy bear. I think it's possible that the kid is just weirded-out. She's got all kinds of chemicals coursing through her tiny brain. Adrenaline can make you pretty freaky. Mix that in with somebody taking her photo...you know, she's suddenly thrust into something very dramatic, and the eye is on her. Maybe she never received that kind of attention anywhere else ever before. Given our celebrity worship culture, I think it is not unreasonable to think she was camera conscious.

If she was smiling, it seems very likely to me that it was more to do with sheer bewilderment, and less likely a case of, "we're gonna fool them all!"

What's going on right now? The price is completely flat. Some circuitbreaker tripped?

I'm not saying manipulation doesn't happen. I think that the money markets
are manipulated a little with QE. And there was a time when Gold and Silver were
manipulated by the hunt brothers. But they had their heads handed to them.

How about when upgrades/downgrades on stocks are issued? Manipulation? I think they should be banned from doing this.

You are not a software engineer, thus have no qualifications to comment on this subject.
500 million lines of code is easy to achieve through inheritance, canned classes and objects that are bought 3 party to achieve rapid code development.
Unfortunately, this is at the cost of security and throughput.

"Obama won and we "ALL" lost."

PhRMA did not loose. ACA passed with no re-import provision and they have millions of new customers headed their way, many with tax dollars in hand.

The gun industry and NRA did not loose. Background checks (required for all sales from dealers) are up 66% since Obama was elected and all ten of the record setting sales weeks followed his announcements of anti-gun schemes. NRA membership now totals 5 million.

General Motors and AIG won big. The real estate industry is doing far better than it would have without Obama's assistance appointing fed governors who buy $40B/month of their mortgage backed securities, keep interest rates down, and keep property prices up.

The military-industrial complex is still doing great. Even with the budget caps and sequestration we're matching the cold-war peak in real dollars.

I guess this means an end to the "STFU Dirty Hollyweird Liberals" mantra among the Conservatarian crowd.

As soon as someone in Hollywood says something conservatives like, the rule that celebrities should have no say in politics is suspended.

You might want to take this into account:

Richard and Sandra Weiner of Denville have filed suit in state Superior Court in Passaic County alleging breach of trust and fiduciary duties against Coldwell Banker of Madison and Wayne residents, and Coldwell agents, Robert Lindsay and Jeannemarie Phelan. The Weiners are seeking compensatory damages for invasion of privacy, infliction of emotional distress, breach of contract, trespass of land and other civil counts.

Great argument. You've really convinced me.
