    Neophytes usually don't step in front of microphones and speak nonsense to the world. You know the old saying "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all remaining doubt".

    Oh c'mon. The correct answer is "And THE LORD sent them to chop down trees and build furniture, for adders can multiply with the aid of log tables".

    Well, the rest of Europe is sending those politicians that are embarrassing but know too much so you can't simply fire them to Brussels.

    England now doesn't have that option anymore.

    The EU is easier to deal with. They're so undecided that by the time they finally come to an agreement, you can rest assured that the circumvention technology has been established and superseded by at least another generation of the tools.

  5. Rudd? Working on becoming Cameron's successor? on Britain Wants Tech Firms to Tackle Extremism (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously, Cameron was awesome when it came to finding blunders and jumping right into the middle of them. Actually the Cameron is the SI unit for the minimum distance between two blunders.

    Is Rudd really trying to outdo the grand master? It's not easy, but she's very obviously ambitious and willing to put her mind to it. Or ... well, whatever substitute she has.

  6. Oh ... oh my goodness ... ok, this was great, really.

    Didn't know Nolan and Coppola are doing comedies. Some more killer gags like this and they could really revive the genre.

  7. What's wrong with using bath salts while you're bathing?

  8. In my experience, that makes them noisier.

  9. Yes, the world is not safe for children. Thankfully it isn't.

    Dead kids don't cry.

    Actually, I didn't even notice that Obama did anything like that. What did he do?

    Don't attribute to malice what can be sufficiently explained with stupidity.

    Typical, god didn't think of the snakes. Care to tell me how adders are supposed to multiply?

  13. That could happen anyway for any reason to anyone in Soviet Russia. The main difference is that she had a decent life.

  14. Stop mansplaining, will ya?

    And could someone please tell the chauvinists at Chrome that they should stop underlining "mansplaining" as if it wasn't a real word?

    Fortunately I didn't notice that. Then again, I don't know the first thing about eating healthy, working out or working in the big blue room with that hot, yellow light on top and no air condition to boot, so I can't really comment on how sensible her efforts were.

    I can comment on this one, though. And it is prime cringe material.

    I don't know if I want my kid to be part of a camp where she takes away the important lesson "that code is the language of the future".

    Unfortunately, it isn't. Everyone who knows at least a hint about programming cringes at the display of ignorance. Everyone who doesn't know jack about programming sees yet another celebrity dragging her kid into something they don't give a shit about.

    A mix of Spin City, West Wing and Keeping up with the Kardashians.

    Quite seriously, a publicity stunt is a publicity stunt, but this is not even pitiful.

    "That elevation though came at a life-long cost: a treadmill of obligations that has lasted more than half a century. Public speaking, accepting honors, roving the world as a citizen-diplomat, being a very visible part of Soviet, and now Russian, public life, are roles that she continues to fulfill to this day."

    How has she managed to survive this burden for this incredibly long time?

  23. History is being rewritten and in the future will be called herstory.

    Oh please, the Judica-Cordiglia brothers bullshit has been debunked ages ago.

  25. You might probably notice if you compare our two examples that in yours, one of the two "opinions" presented is demonstrably false.

    That's not usually the case in matters where compromises do happen.
