Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Who gives a damn? I fuck sheep all the time.
And yes, male both ends. There are a couple lesbians that need a two-ended dildo...My router just refuses to wear a strap-on.
Stupid quiz. Stupid results.
Like all things in life, pumping is just a primitive, degenerate form of bending.
Hey, I don't tell you how to tell me what to do, so don't tell me how to do what you tell me to do! ... Bender knows when to use finesse.

The quiz in question has you choose which of two sites, based on screenshots, has spyware. The sites were all for things like screen savers, song lyrics, and free game downloads. That is a terrible, terrible way to judge a users capability to determine if something has spyware.
It contains no technical information or interactivity whatsoever. No status bar information, no ability to view page source, just screen grabs of random web sites.This is a completely invalid, unsound test, as there is no technical way to determine the presence of malicious software simply by looking at a page as it initially loads in the absence of any ability to interact with it or at the very freaking least scroll up or down or hover a mouse... sheesh...It's like blindfolding someone and then blaming them for not being able to catch a baseball pitch, facing away from the thrower, with their bare hands. Of course they won't be able to, if you take away every single useful tool for them to accomplish the task.
The quiz (http://www.siteadvisor.com/quizzes/spyware_0306.h tml [siteadvisor.com]) asks questions like "Which of these smiley download sites is safe?" The answer I'd pick is "I don't care which one is safe, I wouldn't ever download something so pointless and high risk to begin with", but that option isn't available.
Look at the survey before you believe the statistics. What they have shown is so far from the claimed “Based on their choices, a majority of users (65%) would have been infected with adware or spyware many times over”, it’s ridiculous. For example, the first question asks the respondant to choose between two screensaver downloads to determine which is spyware-ridden, by looking at a screenshot of the website _alone_. This presupposes that a) 100% of users would download a screensaver and b) that people would make their choice based on the look of the website and nothing else.Seriously these are collectively the worst survey and article I’ve ever seen.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests
You might be right about that, Joe.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there
Our species really annoys me.
The poll is very confusing. I got 5/8, and all 3 were because I selected the spyware site, not the safe site. Stupid confusing polls
