    Well, the components of fuel that burn the fastest also evaporate the fastest, so it doesn't sound likely to me. Although I suppose in the tanks heavier components could build up, but I wouldn't consider it likely.

    Does Being 'Loyal' Pay?

    No

    You can save a few characters there....

    Well, we're a lot further south than you're probably thinking, and the article is about how we're stupid and bigoted enough to have a 50-year-old telescope.

    Careful with that. There's a time and a place to sniff petrol, and around a bonfire isn't it!

    Indeed, it's from The IT Crowd.

    Thank you. I feel a little less stupid.

    You wouldn't steal a handbag.
    You wouldn't steal a car.
    You wouldn't steal a baby.
    You wouldn't shoot a policeman. And then steal his helmet.
    You wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet. And then send it to the policeman's grieving widow. And then steal it again!
    Downloading films is stealing. If you do it, you will face the consequences.

  10. PSA? on Competing Contests To Create Pro- and Anti-Piracy PSAs · · Score: 1

    What exactly is a PSA? My google search has suggested prostate-specific antigen, professional sports authenticator, professional skaters association and the Phillipine Sports Association of Texas. None of which seem to make much sense in the context...

    I do actually quite like that answer. I will however continue in my atheist ways, as I don't feeling like worshiping someone who's using me to settle a bet.

    I definitely agree with your P.S. too!

    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
    Then he is not omnipotent
    Is God able to prevent evil, but not willing?
    Then he is malevolent.
    Is God both willing and able to prevent evil?
    Then how does evil still exist?
    Is God neither able, nor willing to prevent evil?
    Then why call him God?

    I believe I'd like to see you call me Poindexter to my face, although you have pointed out to me that I want to make the world's second most boring Youtube video.

    I believe I'd like to see you try. Actually I'd like to film you trying and upload it to Youtube.

    You don't seem like such a smart guy. Try to think about the purpose of hashtags to work out why I said that.

    You should learn how humour works before you post about the topic.

    How, pray tell, can I *use* hashtags in /.?

  20. Re:The best solution for Firefox stability problem on Firefox Advises Users To Disable McAfee Plugin · · Score: 1

    A new account would suggest that he'd just signed up to shill for Mozilla. Although, you can look at his posting history and see that he was complimenting Chrome not too long ago, so he's probably genuine.

    In my experience Firefox doesn't need any outside help to crash.

    Looks like your mind went to a lot nicer place than a lot of the posters who came later than you. I'd much prefer a robot to brew my beer than do the other thing.

  23. Re:I call bullshit on Severe Arctic Ozone Loss · · Score: 1

    Alright, you forced me into actual reading. Apparently the low temperatures reduce the rate at which the chlorine-oxide intermediate reacts with nitrogen dioxide to remove the chloride free-radical from the system. Sooner-Boomer made me mad with his "those professional scientists don't even know high school chemistry" bullshit so I went off half-cocked.

    Sorry.

    The kind of nerd who sees TOR and thinks of a secure routing protocol, rather than some game inspired by a kids movie?

  25. Re:I call bullshit on Severe Arctic Ozone Loss · · Score: 1

    In general chemical reactions will happen faster in higher temperatures. As with almost everything, this is not always the case. Some reactions have more complex kinetics required to make them happen, which can be faster or slower with an increase in temperature.
