qxwsq | doctorw | 1,331,827,148,000 | Hello giant world of reddit. I have a question. But first, re-cap!
Many of you have undoubtedly seen the Kony video, which was huge about 6 days ago but now is but a distant memory. When the video came out, it swept the interwebs and it seemed like people were finally starting to care about the tragedy that are child soldiers. Most people have heard of child soldiers but this video put a face on it, Kony's face, which seems like what people need to really remember an issue.
A few days after the video aired, (don't remember the exact details, sorry) I began to hear rumblings that the organization that made the video, Invisible Children Inc, was somehow disreputable. It became hard to trust them after that.
But still, the issue of Joseph Kony and his LRA was still a very worth while cause. Most of us felt that this guy should be put in prison or be killed or be put on a raft in the middle of the ocean. Whatever it was, we all this guy was being a dick and he needed to be stopped.
But then, today of all days, I read this article:
http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2012/03/15/kony-2012-flops-in-uganda/
In it they interview this guy named Pius Bigirimana who's apparently n charge of the reconstruction of northern Uganda from the devastation of the LRA. (from the article).He goes on to state that Kony “is of no consequence. He is a peripheral issue.”
This is contradictory of the Kony 2012 video, but why would this guy lie?
So my question is, what's the truth? Can someone who is smarter and more knowledgeable than I clear this up? I think it will do us all good.
(And don't be an ass in the comments. http://xkcd.com/481/)
Thanks for reading. | AskReddit | jewish |
qxsyp | peetss | 1,331,821,962,000 | I mean, its 2012 and computers are used in every facet of our life. Is saying you are computer illiterate similar to saying you don't keep up with the times?

qxieo | tahudswork | 1,331,796,226,000 | A friend of mine just broke up with the only serious boy friend she's ever had (at 23) for a number of reasons.
First he was really belittling her emotional difficulties relating to her father slowly dying due to alcoholism. This is after she had stayed by his side for over a year of his "panic attacks" caused by an unknown source.
Second he constantly compared her physically to his favorite porn stars
telling her that she needed "bigger tits" (She's fucking hot BTW, and already has large breasts) and keeps porn all around the house, even taped up in the kitchen.
Third when he said that he "had had enough of her bullshit" he asked her if they could remain friends with benefits. After telling her to stop whining about her dying dad... yeah.
Fourth he says that he can't see her almost every time she asks him over because he has work in the morning but still manages to go drinking to the point of blacking out every night.
She says that the relationship is over but she keeps talking to him, loaning him money and bringing him cold medicine when he's sick. I tried to explain that this is sending serious mixed messages about how final the end of the relationship really is and I'm not sure she gets it.
As for the GGG I'm not sure how to point him out as a much better alternative without him turning into a rebound relationship before the next douche bag.
So reddit hive mind, what should I do. | AskReddit | jewish |

qxb1r | Runner_one | 1,331,783,999,000 | For many years the accepted theory of oil formation is that bio-matter from millions of years ago is covered by rock layers and compressed under pressure to create oil.
There is another theory that is actually older called [Abiogenic origin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenic_petroleum_origin) that theorizes that oil is not only formed from prehistoric bio-matter but is also formed by some other process deep in the Earth. This argument is largely dismissed by most western geologists.
My question is this: Does the discovery of huge deposits of oil more than 35,000 feet (7 miles) deep. [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepwater_Horizon), lend support to the Abiogenic theory? If so would this not skew any existing estimates of Peak Oil?

qztwe | Jhzanto | 1,331,927,773,000 | I'm wanting my 7 year old son to have an internet connection to the computer in his room. However, I've learned from my 15 year old that this isn't such an easy thing to do. I just want my 7yo to have access to the sites he likes, such as webkinz, transformers.com, stuff like that. I was hoping to just find a nice open source kids browser, but I cant seem to find one. So, parents of Reddit, what all I can I do to get my child safely browsing the internet?
Edit: I'll be back in a few hours to see how this progresses. In the meantime, I must venture to Skyrim.
Edit 2: Maybe I should clarify a little. What I'm trying to do is make it so his computer can ONLY access certain sites, like a whitelist. Sites that I KNOW are safe and I'm okay with him visiting. For those of you who are talking about how he shouldn't have a computer in his room, it's not used so much as a computer. There is no internet currently connected to it, and I have no plans to do so unless Reddit can help me answer my questions. It's primary use for him currently is as a music player, and a dvd player, nothing more, not even gaming. | AskReddit | jewish |

And he goes: "This is Bill, he's been a waiter for three years since he left Penn State and had to get work. He likes town, paints toy soldiers, and he's gay." Except CMT censored the word gay.

People could start charging dues to be in or post to certain subreddits, then we could start having protests over 1% that have 99% of the karma but the act of spearheading these protests would give them karma and cause you to join the ranks of the 1% so nothing would ever happen.

The same person who gave me the job told me "there was an error in communication and they had already given the position to someone else" it would not have been a big deal to just say that I didn't get it.

1.
Going to college, having parties spring break, regular US college life.
I'm asking this because it's 1 year that I serve in active military service(here it's mandatory for 3 years).
I really envy all those college guys in the US that have parties and are free of commands and orders.
Still I learn so much about myself from this service and it's improving many trait's in my personalty. After sitting inside bushes for days, pissing in bottles. I have learned to appreciate the little thing in life like a toilet or a bed. Nothing is too hard for me after walking 40 KM(25 miles) carrying 30KG(66 LBS), and my fitness improved remarkably.
This of course costs seeing my family and friends twice a month and having really big problems in "starting relationship" department.

r13xo | rsound | 1,332,012,112,000 | The toothless hillbilly next door loves to talk on his CB radio. Trouble is, he like to talk to his friends across the country. He doesn't work, so he talks night and day to his friends. Just now my wife had to stop watching TV because this guy is in his truck with with his gigantic linear amplifier (big enough he has to run the engine while talking), his talk-booster, roger beep and echo and 4 foot oil-cooled antenna. When he talks, it obliterates the sound on the TV. He also obliterates my telephone. His radio inside his house has a custom made amplifier (2000 watts maybe) fed to a dipole antenna 2 feet off the ground out back (looks like something he bought at the flea market).
So, I go to the FCC site to find out how to complain, and find out that in their words "The enforcement division does not investigate complaints of interference to home electronics. The owner should do what is necessary to block the interference". Say WHAT? The guy is running mega-power and you are not going to investigate? Yes. that's right.

y=a(x-d)^2 = ax^2 -2a*dx+ad^2
we now suptract f(x)-y
we get
bx-c+2a*d*x-ad^2
and lets call it b(x)
we group the x terms together
we get
b(x)=(2a*d+b)x-a*d^2 -c
and the slope is (2a*d+b)

r2gxn | unitedstates | 1,332,105,454,000 | I am a white, conservative guy and I've lived in suburbia all of my life. I haven't run up against racism very much in my life, and so [incidents like this](http://www.whatswrongwiththeworld.net/2012/03/something_can_and_must_be_done.html) blow my mind (link is from a blog about white kids suffering from racism at a mostly black high school, where both students and teachers practiced racism; the link is pretty good, but I don't like the last paragraph).

r2fst | bobbin_threadbare | 1,332,103,961,000 | With the whole boycott of Elsevier going on and people trying to increase open access to science, I was wondering if it would be possible to have an open access reddit like environment, where people can submit papers (instead of links) the committee would be the mods deciding if the paper needs revision and so on, and people could comment on each paper and upvote and downvote if they are accepted as part of that scientific community.
Wouldn't something like this increase collaboration among scientists, drop costs of publishing while increasing potential audience of scientists?

r2ejd | marmosetohmarmoset | 1,332,102,345,000 | So I'm a girl who likes a nice strong beer. Yesterday was St. Paddy's day and I had a bottle of Guinness for the first time in many years. The last time I had one was when I was young and didn't really like beer- my memory of it was that it was very strong tasting. This time though- pretty weak and totally bland. I wouldn't have even identified it as a stout in a blind taste test. Everyone else seems to enjoy it so much, though. Am I just crazy? Did I just get a bad bottle? | AskReddit | jewish |

r1sgu | Machinax | 1,332,052,654,000 | Earlier today, I had a dream about someone I used to know when I was back in college. We were friends, and were actually becoming good friends by the time I graduated and moved away.
Unfortunately, we didn't stay in touch, and since finishing up college in 2003, we have not had any contact with one another.
And yet, for some reason, I had a dream about her today. So with my subconscious apparently trying to tell me something, I searched for her on Facebook and Google, but came up with nothing. I still have her name, but that's all I have. I don't know where she currently lives, I don't know what she does for a living, I don't know if she's married and has changed her name, and we don't have any mutual friends that I know of.
(Well, we have one - my old roommate - but he didn't like her for some stupid reason, and I doubt he would have her contact information all these years later.)
This isn't the first time I've tried to look her up online, and all previous attempts - including the one today - turned up negative. Admittedly, it's a bit difficult to search for someone when all you have is a name from nine years ago.
And even though it was almost a decade ago, I would like to try and connect with her again. Not only were we friends, but she was an absolute sweetheart.
But, for the life of me, I can't think of a way to do it. As I said, all I have is a name, and absolutely nothing else to go on. I can't even throw it out to Reddit, for fear of jeopardizing her privacy (and even mine, for that matter).
So...suggestions? Tips? Ideas? It's not the end of the world if I can't find her, but I would (very much) like to, if only to say "hi".
EDIT: Actually, I think I have a couple of pictures of her. Not sure if that would help at all. | AskReddit | jewish |

r1ro3 | BrainsAreCool | 1,332,050,984,000 | [Here](http://imgur.com/a/EP26k) is a link to the pictures my friend took of the guys car.
The story of events, so far as I know, goes something like this...
My friend was rear-ended by an anonymous drunk driver on St. Patric's day who was escorting several passengers. The passengers fled the scene first and went to go eat at the local Courtesy Diner in the area. The accident happened on Hampton avenue. While waiting for a half hour or more for police to show up my several of the offenders associates showed up at the scene to talk to my friend and such since the driver responsible for hitting my friend wouldn't say much of anything since he was too drunk. One by one they apparently left for seemingly legitimate reasons until eventually the offender himself left.
Sadly, my friend did not manage to harvest any information other than the pictures above and, as you can tell, the plates are far too over exposed to be useful. If anyone knows anything about the incident or the person(s) responsible would you please post any relevant information here?
Thank You. | AskReddit | jewish |

r3ue3 | PhilGarber | 1,332,184,422,000 | **EDIT**- The example should be in a column, but Reddit wrecks the formatting. Is it still understandable?
Hey,
Can anyone decipher this example? I get the mathematical concepts fine (conditional statements), but the examples really weird:
___
**Example**
10 INPUT X
20 INPUT Y
30 IF X > Y THEN GOTO 60
40 IF X < Y THEN GOTO 70
50 IF X = Y THEN GOTO 80
60 PRINT Y, X:END
70 PRINT X, Y:END
80 PRINT X = Y:END
**Example**
Refer to the above program and use the chart below to work through questions 1 and 2 that follow. **(chart omitted)**
1. For each conditional statement in the program, write the p clause (hypothesis) in the first column of the chart. Then write the negation (~p) in the third column of the chart.
2. Now suppose that X = 6 and Y = 5. GO back to the chart and fill in the truth values for each p and ~p.
In this program, the GOTO statement is a link between the hypothesis p and the conclusion q. For example, without the GOTO statement, the first conditional statement of the program would read: 30 IF X > Y THEN PRINT Y, X
3. Rewrite each of the other IF-THEN statements in the program without the GOTO statement.
Suppose that someone scrambles the instructions in the program so that the second conditional statement reads: 40 IF X < Y THEN GOTO 80
4. Rewrite this statement without the GOTO statement for X = 3 and Y = 10.
5. Is the statement you wrote a true or false conditional? Explain.
