  1. Re:idiot restaurant owners on How Restaurants Got So Loud (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 0

    Gee, I wonder why.

    What? You just explained that earlier. Memento syndrome?

  2. Re:I avoid loud restaurants on How Restaurants Got So Loud (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    they do lose some customers... unless I'm just a unique freak.

    Loudness is due to the restaurant having many customers. So maybe they don't lose customers..

  3. Two very different projects and purposes that do not really deserve the comparison. Otoh, while some are obsessed with tariffs, the China project seems rather innovative and ambitious.

  4. Re:Good job web browsers! on Half of all Phishing Sites Now Have the Padlock (krebsonsecurity.com) · · Score: 2

    Nobody said a https site is not a phishing site. Https is said secure because it prevents communication between a client and a server to be eavesdropped. The padlock does not say "safe", it says "secure connection". Now some people could be a bit confused but I doubt unknowledgeable users make a difference between http and https in the first place.

  5. Re:That's a great comment on That Time The Windows Kernel Fought Gamma Rays Corrupting Its Processor Cache (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    The comment could have included "Use this instruction with care. Data cached internally and not written back to main memory will be lost", INVD man.

  6. Many stars are closer on Nearby Star Is Sun's Long-Lost Sibling (syfy.com) · · Score: 1

    Many stars are closer, e.g. alpha centauri 21 (4.3 ly). Wouldn't be logical to find (/search) similar stars closer than 184 ly?

  7. Re:First ever?? on First Ever Plane With No Moving Parts Takes Flight (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Efficient engines do. But they could also work without all the complexity they have (pumps etc) as "well" as the engine from the story. Same principle: "a reaction engine is an engine or motor that produces thrust by expelling reaction mass" (wiki)

  8. Re:First solid state plane my ass on First Ever Plane With No Moving Parts Takes Flight (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    > "my ass" ... "paper airplanes"
    Is it a hint on how you use toilet paper?

  9. First ever?? on First Ever Plane With No Moving Parts Takes Flight (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    No moving part motor == Jet. The story must have been written in 1909.

  10. Re:Simple answer on Is Quantum Computing Impossible? (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the more precisely the possibilitness is determined, the less precisely the impossibilitness can be known, and vice versa

  11. Re:Dementia on There Is No Link Between Insomnia and Early Death, Study Finds (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    After 3 months without a minute sleeping, you probably want to kill yourself.

  12. Chandler: Y'know how people say that Tulsa is the Paris of Oklahoma?
    Monica: What? Who says that?
    Chandler: People who've never been to Paris.
    The One where Emma cries / 12:50

  13. There is Paris, Tulsa the Paris of Oklahoma and now the Greenland Paris. How romantic!

  14. Re:could only maintain the state for 10 seconds on China's Fusion Reactor Reaches 100 Million Degrees Celsius (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    The reaction will stop when the last atom on Earth is consumed. That should take a few seconds more.

  15. Re:Grammar much. dumbass ? on Israel Aims To Ban Gasoline, Diesel Vehicles By 2030 (cleantechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Long live Stannis Baratheon

    Grammar is an orphan, SB died at the end of season 5.

  16. Who decides what is hate speech?????

    Wikipedia.

  17. does it mean programs will be even worse than from the expensive version?

  18. Re:World Champion -- among humans, that is on World Chess Champion Faces American Challenger, Grueling First Game, and Woody Harrelson (chess.com) · · Score: 1

    I never understood why people think game-playing is a measure of intelligence.

    Not understanding something is.

  19. Where is the drama of a Bobby Fisher vs. Boris Spassky match in that?

    1972. Half of people were ever too young or not yet even born to appreciate the match.

  20. At least now we have a way top relate Edge and its older colleague Internet Explorer.

  21. Maths isn't your strongest skill, I hope?

    Text editing isn't your strongest skill, I hope? If 20% of your comment is the parent quote, then you need to make your own comment outside the <quote> tags.

  22. So you're saying these advanced rats were using microwaves also?

    All the fun astronomical stuff will take place after we die.

    Simpler than that. When you die the simulation stops. That's it.
