Unsafe water found by EPA on airliners
Nearly one of every eight passenger airliners tested by the Environmental Protection Agency carried drinking water that fails agency standards because it contains coliform bacteria, the agency said Monday.
[...]
Of the planes checked, 20 tested positive for total coliform bacteria, which could signal the presence of other harmful bacteria. Two planes tested positive for E. coli bacteria, which in a severe form can cause gastrointestinal illness.
[...]
The EPA randomly tested the water in August and September on 158 aircraft, including small commuter planes and jumbo jets for domestic and international flagged carriers.

"The struggle for the emancipation of the working class is not between races or religions. It is one of class against class. Every trace of anti-Semitism, or any form of race hatred cannot assist the oppressed, it can on the contrary only aid the exploiters. Workers of all nationality, religion or creed must stand together against the common enemy: capitalism."

Even if he weren't, who the F is the S...
...to go yelling "GO AWAY" at him???
Why the fuck SHOULD he, Rosscoe? Why the fuck don't YOU just "GO AWAY"?

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]

Think of him as an overeager guard dog
Kind of sweet but a little stupid at times.
Usually worth it in the end.

Yeah, but when a dog is rabid, yagotta put it down.
I mean, it's all well and good to bark at -- and even bite, for all I care -- spammers and idiots... But what the fuck had "daemon" ever DONE to merit any such treatment???
I didn't see any spamming or other obvious moronity; did you?
(And if it was something in those apparently hastily redacted comments, which I missed, then enough time had gone since those that one would think even frigging "Eevul, Thy Name Is Feminine!" Rosscoe should have caught on by then.)
So all in all, I think this raging pit bull of ours isn't so much "sweet" any more, as rather more of a pain in our collective backside.
Ross: Start frigging USING that vaunted brain of yours, not just for maths but for social interaction, too. (If you think that's beneath its power-and-glory, then you are deluding yourself -- you're only putting yourself beneath our why-should-we-care threshold.)
Thank you.

That's nearly an apology :-)
Go on, you can do it! We're with you all the way!
:p
I appreciate the sentiment but if you knew who the protagonist was (as I do) then your reaction would be exactly opposite to what it was. For obvious reasons I'm not going to tell you who it is, but if you trust me when I say he's one of the good guys, you'll be on the same page.
