    I was using computers before 1984 and I've never had to do "configure, make, make install" before.

    but unfortunately does nothing to increase the amount of time that people waste on Slack.

  10. A lack of water will stunt the growth of trees... What exactly are the qualifications for being an ecologist again? Are they hiring?

    I'm no botanist, but I do know that if you put water on plants, they grow.

  11. Maybe that's a USA thing. Real maple syrup is actually quite common in restaurants in Québec.

    Remember Texas Instruments? They were the first ones to sell solar-powered pocket calculators so they know how to compute correct answers at low power. Let's have them make processors!

    Remember Casio? They were the first ones to sell digital watches, which is a pretty neat idea, with built-in calculators that could compute correct answers. Let's have them make processors!

    What other CPU was not affected by those flaws? Atmel's ATmega series. Let's have them make processors!

    The Netflix quality/bandwidth setting is for the entire account, and it's not limited to "browser streaming".

    Who the fuck uses a browser to watch Netflix anyway? Get yourself a set-top box, nerd.

    There's a difference between accidents caused by random events, by mistakes, by lack of time to react, by other people who happen to be idiots and accidents caused by idiots to themselves because they are idiots. The best example I've read on Darwin Awards is an idiot who played russian roulette with a 12 gauge shotgun.

    Or you could build drone-only pizza kitchens in more places to cover all the area within the range of drones. Since a kitchen is almost always the smallest area occupied within a regular restaurant, it would cost a lot less to operate. There's probably savings to be made on permits and other things, too.

  25. You do know about insulated pizza bags, right? And the bag itself would probably be inside an insulated compartment as well.
