Alcohol is the most important ingredient in Scottish cooking. If you get enough of that before dinner; preferably from Islay, like Laguvalin or Bowmore, you won't give a damn how the food tastes.
DISCLAIMER: On my mother's side, both grandparents were from Scotland. Grandma (Nana) from Aberdeen, and Grandpa from Dundee. Relatives in Scotland sent me comics from Oor Wullie, The Broons and other UK schoolboy comic stuff. It enables me to appreciate the satire in Viz better. When my grandparents came down from Canada (where they emigrated to) to visit, they always brought a big bottle of Canadian Club with them. I think the bottle was always empty when they left.
You wouldn't believe how many people don't properly backup critical data.
Hell, I get calls from "friends of friends of friends" . . . apply recursion as required. And, no, no one has a backup, and no, no one even knows the administrator password for their machine.. . .
When a hard drive goes bad.... folks start to think about backups . . . not before then . . .
. . . while you were all swimming around in your da'd's balls, I told my grandmother that computers did not make errors, but that the folks who program them do. And she gave me a lot of shit for that.
I think the track record today proves who was right.
I take a train to work every day, here in central, rainy right now, and just plain miserable central Europe. The train service here is fantastic. Efficient and cheap (OK, maybe you might want to avoid an ICE in summer, when it is hot). Lot's of folks take commuter trains to work; something like the "High Speed Line" in Philly, or BART in San Francisco.
If they start putting scanners in here . . . the economy would go to hell in a hand basket.
... and ban students from schools. But then hordes of them will be hanging out on the streets, sharpening their pencils, and finding some trouble to get themselves into . . .
It's amazing how Slashdot can give me an oblique reference to a song, that no folks on Slashdot are old enough to have heard:
The Cramps Tv set Lyrics:
oh baby i see you on my tv set yeah baby i see you
on my tv set i cut your head off and put it in my
tv set
i use your eyeballs for dials on my tv set
i watch tv i watch tv
since i put you in my tv set
oh baby i hear you on my radio yeah baby i hear
you on my radio you know i flip flip flip for my
radio you're going drip drip drip on my radio am
radio pm radio since i tuned you inside my
radio... like this!
oh baby i see you in my
frigidaire yeah baby i see you in my frigidaire
behind the mayonnaise, way in the back i'm gonna
see you tonight for a midnight snack but though
it's cold you won't get old 'cause you're well
preserved in my frigidaire yahhhhhhh.
Who needs to smuggle on your own knife; buy a first class or business class ticket and get a nice, sharp, big knife given to you!
That airline steak was probably the most dangerous item on the plane. The last time I had steak on a plane, I though t it had a higher density that depleted Uranium. Great for anti-tank munition. Whack someone on the head with that, and they would have gone to meet his or her maker.
a 9" total length metal butter knife,
Brilliant! So, you hold up the butter knife to the Land of Lakes chick on the butter package, and scream, "Nobody moves! Or the Native American gets it!"
"Um, does anyone know how to do that trick, where the chick looks like she is dropping her tits out?"
Considering that ANY launch into space is probably gonna be noticed, it would be a lot easier just to piggyback satellites than try to make a secret unnoticed launch.
Quiet! You didn't hear it here first!
Mum's the word
Meaning
Keep quiet - say nothing.
Origin
Mum; not mother but 'mmmmm', the humming sound made with a closed mouth. Used by Shakespeare in Henry VI, Part 2, 1592:
"Seal up your lips and give no words but mum."
... and I thought that all that time reading Shakespeare in High School was a waste of time ...
a Delta 4 Heavy rocket — carrying a secret new spy satellite for the US National Reconnaissance Office roared into space to deliver into orbit what one reconnaissance official has touted as 'the largest satellite in the world.' The Delta 4 Heavy rocket is the biggest unmanned rocket currently in service and has 2 million pounds of thrust, capable of launching payloads of up to 24 tons to low-Earth orbit and 11 tons toward the geosynchronous orbits used by communications satellites
Anything else that you can tell us about the secret satellite?
The mammoth vehicle is created by taking three Common Booster Cores — the liquid hydrogen-fueled motor that forms a Delta 4-Medium's first stage — and strapping them together to form a triple-barrel rocket, and then adding an upper stage. The exact purpose of the new spy satellite NROL-32 is secret, but is widely believed to be an essential eavesdropping spacecraft that requires the powerful lift provided by the Delta 4-Heavy to reach its listening post. 'I believe the payload is the fifth in the series of what we call Mentor spacecraft, a.k.a. Advanced Orion, which gather signals intelligence from inclined geosynchronous orbits,' says Ted Molczan, a respected sky-watcher who keeps tabs on orbiting spacecraft. Earlier models of the series included an unfurling dish structure about 255 feet in diameter with a total spacecraft mass of about 5,953.5 pounds, costing about $750 million and designed to monitor specific points or objects of interest such as ballistic missile flight test telemetry."
M'kay . . . can you send me the password to will cause that mother-fucker crash down?
The really super secret satellites . . . well, we don't hear anything about them . . . and we shouldn't, either.
I have a N90, a N95, and an N800, etc. I loved being able to write apps on my laptop, and transfer them over to my hand held device . . . even though that I can't program myself out of a paper bag!
I loved flicking the N90 so much, that my girlfriend said: "Quit playing with it! You might break it!"
Insert Beavis and Butthead text here.
So this MeeGo stuff has me all curious . . . just wait, don't buy.
Going to an Ivy League school doesn't necessarily mean you're smarter; it just means your parents have a lot of money.
As a EECS graduate who studied at Princeton, I hate to hear statements like that. What little money my parents had, they saved for my college education. Princeton was full of poor, smart kids, at the time I was there (early eighties).
Were there rich dumb kids there? Hell, yeah, I'm looking at you, Angela Janklow and Jennifer Marron!
I worked my ass off to get top grades in high school and on the SATs. I live and work in Europe, but when I do assignments in the US, there seems to be some inverse predudice, "Oh, he must be a dumb, rich kid." And that prejudice disappears when they folks see the quality of my work.
The hazardous haze has forced schools to stop outdoor exercises, and health experts asked residents, especially those with respiratory problems, the elderly and children, to stay indoors.
The US ambassador to Los Angeles stated, "Fuck that god-damned mother-fucking scientific equipment shit! I just needs to take one breath out of the window to knows that this shit ain't good for me!"
"Pimp my air." Sounds right.
A certain central European country that I know, pays diplomats a "tropical supplementary allowance" for working in Washington, DC. Like anyone would think of calling DC a jungle . . .
The US ambassador to Philadelphia could not be reached for comments, because he was with his advisers in his Think Tank at the Jersey Shore. His office did release a statement that the ambassador likes his cheesesteak wid provolone and onions? Youse guys?
Bad example. See and sea are not homonyms, they are homophones – pronounced the same but spelt differently. A better example would be "The rest may rest".
Brilliant! That's what I love about Slashdot . . . we can be pedantic, in the pedantic sense of the word.
Up next, "Sesquipedalians, do we know what the fuck they are talking about, or what?" "Live, on Larry King . . . "
Unterwasserseebootbeleuchtungsautomatik is a valid word, which is used by a Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän.
Thus, you can combine the two words into Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänsunterwasserseebootsbeleuchtungsautomatik, and still have a valid German word.
Ah, but, Sir, you added an "s", which indicates that you understand the German Genative . . . as opposed to Promis who pop up on television in Germany . . . I'm talking about you, Verona!

isn't that a trainspotting quote?
Well, fuck me over flying backwards, and dip me in dog-shit. I should know fuck-all about that.
Was "Trainspotting" a cartoon in Viz?
Small orifices will be able to get it by the end of the year, Verizon said on Monday
Why do they need quicker access to porn . . .?
they chain the knives (in the kitchen) and the tools in the workshops to the tables (or so I've heard).
Prison Superintendent: "Gee, Beav, a lot of prisoners got strangled with chains last week , , , ?"
Chief Officer: "Well, gee, Wally, maybe we should ask Guard Eddy Haskill . . .? Where could all those chains be coming from . . . ?"
Very creative use of the word, "fuck."
If I remember correctly, there is a great scene in Scarface where Tony Montana talks to his "partner" in Columbia:
Colombian Drug Lord: "Fuck you!"
Tony answers: "No, Fuck You!"
We got incredible mileage out of that quote.
You also might want to try, "this fucking fucker, is fucking fucked!"
But that is none of my god-damned fucking business . . .

That is what Slashdot is all about . . . good, clean, wholesome fun for the family . . . let's get outraged at news, that isn't news!

Sure why not when I could just break a chair leg off and bludgeon someone.
You let your pupils sit!, in chairs?!?!? When I was a schoolboy, our classroom was in a paper bag, by the side of the road . . . etc.
. . . the title Godwins you!
Despite any political or historical implications, I would assume that most folks would realize that using a Swastika would be in bad taste.

Oh, I missed that one: Now I know what that Yoda fellow meant, when he said, "Use the fork, Luke, use the fork!"

Which is at best tangential to the topic at hand, no?
A native American Indian hunter/scout/guide once told me that his folks never got lost in the woods ... but sometimes the path strayed a bit.
When I told him that my thoughts often ran tangential to the topic, he answered, "Good! Then you will not notice that we are lost!"
