    I didn't expect the Ninjas.

    Nobody expects the....

    Wait. Wrong meme.

  3. Re: Where is Apple? on UK Cabinet Office Adopts ODF As Exclusive Standard For Sharable Documents · · Score: 3, Funny

    While all that is true, Pages is much better for layout than MS word or LibreOffice's Word processor. Sometimes people like good tools

    Looking for tools? Slashdot is the right place.

  4. Re:Privacy while crossing the boarder? on Activist Group Sues US Border Agency Over New, Vast Intelligence System · · Score: 1

    The rent is too damned high!

  5. Re:Hmmm on New Toyota Helps You Yell At the Kids · · Score: 2

    Probably. I must be getting too old for slashdot, because I'd rather concede the point instead of arguing until my dying breath over slight nuances of words and corporate governance.

  6. Re:What are the other 99% supposed to do? on California In the Running For Tesla Gigafactory · · Score: 1

    No doubt it was a different time. In addition to few external competitors, the entire world was rebuilding due to WWII and recovering from a decade of pent up desire from the Great Depression.

  7. Re:Hmmm on New Toyota Helps You Yell At the Kids · · Score: 1

    No. They're more like Ford/Mazda, wherein Ford owned a big chunk (49%) of Mazda. Hyundai owns ~40% of Kia. Not the same company.

    'In living memory'? Ask George Takei what he remembers from his childhood.

    How many factory workers were middle class, during this heyday of which you speak?

    In the 50's and 60's? Most of them.

    "Heads, I win, tails, you lose" isn't a new scenario.

  12. Re:To me it's pretty clear. on Russia Prepares For Internet War Over Malaysian Jet · · Score: 1

    The militaries of the world take people who are 'just' farmers all the time. Most equipment is made to be operated by and maintained by average guys of average intelligence. (Depending on the level of mechanization of the farm, the proverbial farmer may be overqualified to operate some machinery)

    How do you lose the advantage of the skin when it is cut prior to cooking? I'm seriously at a loss here.

    (As far as your other observations, I don't know. Seems odd to me that you couldn't find something considerably better than TH for considerably less than $100. I suspect part of the problem is not knowing the area and which non-chain restaurants to hit. Chains are almost invariably aimed at the lowest common denominator)

  15. Re:Available food ... on New Treatment Stops Type II Diabetes · · Score: 1

    There's a helluva lot of territory between Tim Horton's and $100 meals.

    And what's wrong with fries fried with skin on? Most of the nutritive value of a potato is in the skin.

    "Works for me. Close ticket"

    That's not how science works.

    Isn't this probaly one of the foremost National Security issues of the US? The freaking Stock Exchanges? You're telling me they don't know to what end, or who was in it?

    If even part of this is true, this country really is FUCKED! All the way to the top!

    And the Republicans will blame Clinton for everything

    I don't see how, given how much more the Gingrich House got done than the Boehner House has.

    In most cases, you would end up paying for the Ex-Wife's apartment and one for you without the hopes of having a mistress because you are broke.

    If you need money to get companionship, you may want to invest that same money into buying a personality.

    I only use ceramic non-stick or all steel pots. I hope they have something more than "all aluminum" or it's at least coated with another non-toxic material.

    That was awful. Pick up just about any Harry Turtledove book for a more thoughtful take on the subject.

    You need one of those gay European man purses to carry around all your loose change. Then it makes sense, I suppose.
