  1. Re:Needs a Concatenation Operator on Should JavaScript Get More Respect? · · Score: 1
    When you innocently write
    document.theform.hours.value += 1;
    Like others have said that isn't an innocent mistake. It's a dynamically typed language you should typecast your String to a Number first. Having said that in your simplistic example you could get away with a double plus, no good if you want to increment by greater than a unit but x='1'; ++x == 2.

    They will lose, it would be nice if they costed society a little less money to do so though.
    Won't they have to pay for the wasted time if they lose?

    I quite appreciate the summary of the thought process that led to this design.

    We have a blanket keep left unless overtaking rule on all roads 80+ (km/h) down under and fuckers are always driving well below the speed limit in the passing lane here! In your case, however, the person behind you is obviously a total asshat.

  11. Security/privacy of postal mail on Reading Your Postal Mail Online · · Score: 1

    Some people are talking about postal mail being private/secure. That's just BS! my wife and I recently had all our original supporting documents for our tax lodgement stolen from our mailbox (well they wouldn't've fit in the box but the postie left it lying around anyway). Yes my accountant should have sent it registered post but that's another matter.

    Quick, all the attractive intelligent people need to have an orgy!

    Seriously though, a lot of intelligent women have other priorities nowadays than procreating.

    If you don't know that an act is evil, how can you (and all your children for all eternity) justifiably be punished for it?
    I'm not arguing for or against anything but who says God has to justify shit?
  14. Re:God on Scott Adams Suggests Bill Gates For President · · Score: 1

    You said an 11-month-old baby wasn't a sentient being. That is incorrect, an 11-month-old baby very much is a sentient being as are most other animals. If you are referring to sapience, well that's a different matter.

    I have a 5 year old child and a 5 month old child and while one obviously possesses higher reasoning power the other already has a sense of humour.

    BTW: It's spelled unassailable. And I'm not a fucking sophist.

    A fertilized egg and an 11-month-old baby have two things in common: neither of them is a sentient being but both have the potential to become one.

  23. Re:They both did it on A Sunshade In Space To Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1
    In the Simpsons, Mr. Burns built a giant sunshade to block the free source of energy that is the sun. In Futurama, a giant mirror is launched into space to block the rays of the sun, and reduce global warming. A small meteor hits it, causing it to turn, focus the light on the surface of the Earth, and cut a swathe through the arena from which the scientists (and Nixon's head) look on.

    This is the closest thing I could find to my reaction.

    Yeah, let's put trillions of remote control lenses (supposedly not mirrors, either way) in space. What if Dr. Evil got control of them!? He'd be able to basically wipe out very specific regions of the surface of the planet.
