Fuct up rants

So this asshole sells a busted laptop (stating it worked fine) on eBay and the guy who bought it yanked all the data off the hard drive and posted it on a blog. Very enjoyable read.

Tip: Format the hard drive before ripping someone off.

If this was real it would be so nasty

The story goes like this: Sometime in the 1940s, Enrico Fermi was talking about the possibility of extra-terrestrial intelligence with some other physicists. They were impressed that life had evolved quickly and progressively on Earth. They figured our galaxy holds about 100 billion stars, and that an intelligent, exponentially-reproducing species could colonize the galaxy in just a few million years. They reasoned that extra-terrestrial intelligence should be common by now. Fermi listened patiently, then asked, simply, "So, where is everybody?" That is, if extra-terrestrial intelligence is common, why haven't we met any bright aliens yet? This conundrum became known as Fermi's Paradox.
