Yeah so what. The Netherlands and all have been reclaiming their lands for centuries. It's a technical problem that's been solved. It breaks sometimes, yeah what doesn't. All the nice places are filled up with shitheads. Everyone else has to go somewhere, and almost by definition it's going to have its bad points.
Unless everyone decides to go to the nice places and take their shit.
Sure, I expect everybody knows that by now, but it turned out to be a funny summation of her foreign policy experience. A Dem "dog-whistle", if you will.

You're absolutely right, and it's a big reason why nobody does that, no matter how it's written. They find adaptors of some sort, written in a future language-du-jour, to get the data/reports/screenshots into the future framework-du-jour.

Ha! You forgot about having to physically get up to press the buzzer. And sometimes having to pick up and caress your buzzer. And, of course, there's the semi-automatic buzzer activation mode for when it's set down. Other than that, spot on!

I hear that the insurance companies are betting on the scientists.
As a karma whore, is resent/resemble that remark, you insensitive clod!
As a karma pimp, I pedanticise your spelling error.
They ever want to put a nuke in my back yard then PIIMBY (Put It In My Back Yard), I'll bake them a cake and move all my stuff out of the way.
You just put the raw materials in a cakepan and set it outside the containment building, amirite?
Forecasting? It doesn't look like you can even get postcasting right.
Exactly. Good water, good land, trading hub, defendable, etc.
"...so the margins of error are too great for what we want". Good explanation.

Earthquakes != Tectonics, as Weather != Climate.
Yep, blundering my way through slashdot's website since 6 digits ago.

His was a good joke, and I liked your answer, too.

That reminds me of that time when I wrote to Dog with emacs from my cshell. Dog wrote back...

Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I've removed all of the hidden files.
...and the bad news is *all* of the files are now hidden.
"I might not plug it into the network, but I'll find some use for it."
Nonsense. Every network needs a honeypot.

I did not know that.
Huh. Looks like you took care of "Mr. Consensus" with a logic bomb.
"Except, you still have to care for those kids in the form of child support or, you know, food. "
Careful. A simple modification of technique, and he has a food pyramid scheme.
So, answer the questions, retard...

It's not my job to help other assholes procreate.
Yeah, screw this. I want time off to procreate myself.
Heinlein said something about all morals are ultimately based on propagation of our species.

...He the hell did this guy break any records himself? It could have just as well been a monkey up there.
Just like the moon landings. Been there, done that.
