Get A Life

3 Commments

Some people really need to find better things to do.

There was just a fairly shaky earthquake two hours ago here in the Silicon Valley, about magnitude of 5.6. The location of the quake is in fact just a few miles from my house. No damage caused though.
Now… Some of you may know about the national “did you feel it?” survey where they gather data to find out more information about earthquakes. If you do check the survey results of this earthquake, people from a few hundred miles reported that they felt the earthquake. Get a life. I know you have better things to do than that.

On the other hand, whoever wrote the software for the survey needs to put in some fraud detection at least. No way someone from a few hundred miles can feel the earthquake.

    Statistically, the few number of people that feel the earthquake hundreds of miles away will be routed out by the shear overwhelming data of the people nearer to the earthquake…or at least that is the hope. So it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. BTW telling other people to get a life is all relative. I know there are people that would consider Runescape, programming, and forums (/blogs) a total waste of time…and they would be all right. However, becoming a machine wears you down. Taking a sizable amount of breaks does increase you efficiency when you do work and that is a key thing. So basically, to wrap up, I’d say “get honest” instead of get a life because they probably are the type of people that love to screw with facts and figures and do it for a hobby, to them that is a life. Same thing as the first posters on Youtube *sigh* what is the world coming too.

    For myself. I guess I have a life.
    but not in many people’s eyes.
