    Mod all Wikipedia posts down.
    Wikipedia is often a synonym for "uninformed shithead"

  10. Re:Please define it on Beer Found to be as Healthy as Wine · · Score: 1

    This is interesting - the first response advocates Chimay, which I enjoy now and again.
    The second advocates grain alcohol, which I consume frequently.

    Can't we all just get along?

  12. Re:Quotation on The Science of Word Recognition · · Score: 1

    Very strange because if you remember we don't need all those letters.

    It took maybe an extra second to read.
    High-context, though.

  13. Re: In related news... on The Science of Word Recognition · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the irritating "here here" or "poured over"

  14. Re:REKANYZE! on The Science of Word Recognition · · Score: 1

    This really screws with the recognition paradigm presented - if we screen on word masks (fork: fort, work, fuck, fork) then how can these reordered-letter words be so easy to read?

    20 square miles away...

    I understand you wanted to emphasize the concept of "really far away" and all, but square miles measure area, not distance.

  19. Re:Competing Search Service ! on GmailFS - The Google File System · · Score: 1

    Wow.
    Way to miss the point.

    Parent was suggesting using GMailFS as a storage medium for a rival to Google, not writing a search engine for crawling GMail accounts.

  20. Protect yourself by becoming useful on Outsourcing is Good for You · · Score: 4, Funny

    Become a security guard for rich people.
    Build trust over a decade or so.
    When the upcoming collapse is in full swing, abuse that trust by handing the boss over to the tar-n-feathers brigade.
    Ya gotta think long term.

    Well, shit.
