    Oh how I wish you were kidding, but experience confirms that you are not.

    I do throw away a phone every single time I illegally download a movie.
    That's 0 times so far.

    I already do.

    I mean, hypothetically.

    Electric motors [snip] have 0 risk of exploding

    Yeah because lithium-ion batteries are perfectly safe!

  5. Re:couldn't microsoft on Microsoft Warns of New Video ActiveX Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    However... has there ever been a Microsoft patch Tuesday that hasn't had any patches? I'm going to tentatively say "No"...

    And even if it happened, wouldn't the safe assumption be that the patch system had a bug or was exploited?

  6. Re:age discrimination on Andreessen's Secret Plan To Find the Next Netscape · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Good luck, Marc. Good thing you are using mostly other people's money.

    Smart people know it takes money to make more money.
    Brilliant people realize it doesn't have to be their own money.

    It took a bit longer for the news to filter down through TWO levels of protection!

    Indeed, there's a higher chance of the neutrino changing the state of the doctor's own neurons and making him flip out and start turning patients into mutant zombies in a plan to take over the world...

    Crap, I'm NEVER going to the doctor again!

    Well I think....
    Wait, what did you just say, I can't remember.

  13. Re:Easy solution. on NIH Spends $400K To Figure Out Why Men Don't Like Condoms · · Score: 1

    I'm scared of the use of that word "vulcanize". To vulcanize rubber you impregnate it with sulphur and then place it on a oven-hot iron.

    I agree, "Impregnate" is a very bad choice of words when talking about condoms.

  14. Re:What's the big deal with IPv6 on Comcast To Bring IPv6 To Residential US In 2010 · · Score: 0

    Because 640k is enough for anybody!

  15. Re:buzzword overload on A Look At the Tech Behind Burnout Paradise · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No. There is some distance between "parallelism" and "threads". For example, SIMD instructions, are parallel, and have nothing to do with threads. On the other hand it is perfectly possible to have multiple threads that are not running in parallel (on a single processor for example).
    See also: Threading/Concurrency vs. Parallelism.

    I tried using those third-party blinker fluid replacement kits, but they wouldn't work in my HP printer.

    Shame there's no +1 Funny Troll moderation ;-)

    There's nothing stupid about teaching more junior developers about good practices.

  23. Re:Experience on How Software Engineering Differs From Computer Science · · Score: 1

    I've done a serious remodelling of a house. Due to my experiences I now think that building software is EXACTLY like building a house. People just have a much, much too positive idea about the crap that goes on when you try to get people to build the house you want.
