    Merriam Webster's definition is wrong. It omits "so they can be milked for advertising purposes".

    Various forms of this bug have been present since forever (and my version of forever is roughly half of yours).

    If you missed the protocol off it used to automatically insert slashdot.org, shit like that. I reported it, back when I was young and naive (won't bother umlauting the i, it'll just turn into @#^&&^(TM)*&*&&(TMTMTM)(TM) or something).

  7. Doesn't the efficiency of conversion depend on the temperature difference between the source and the sink? Which, compared to a classical steam engine, is going to be not much Fahrenheit (in metric: bugger all Celsius).

    Thermodynamically speaking, heat to something else is uphill; it's possible but a lot harder than the other way round.

    Well, if you take a look at the Constitution of the United States of America, you won't find anything that explicitly forbids a private company from collecting data about you

    It doesn't say anything about murder either.

    It's IBM. They'll paint it and then decide on the material.

  10. Could the pressure be coming from the users' fingers?

    I'd tell you to hand it in, but you clearly never had one.

    The answer is not having a business that pokes its nose into other people's business.

    If they're social media then so is a bit of animal skin, some soot and a feather.

    It might be worth something to someone whose land is adjacent to it ... but if that person knows it's of no use to your uncle he can drive a hard bargain.

    And distracting from the important stuff like what colour to paint the bikesheds.

    This whole "we just have to be extra nice and generous and benevolent and they'll happily integrate and repay us" fairy tale is just that: a fairy tale.

    Be fair now, they said exactly the same about the East Germans and see how they turned out.

    Hang on, you might have a point.

    Really? So what's negative equity about, then?

  18. If the Irish bred quick enough we could have brought them in to do the actual work and just wiped out the natives, but India is like *big* and even their far-famed fecundity wasn't sufficient. Plus they can't go outside in the sun.

    Though I hear it's been tried successfully in some places.

  19. They should introduce designated smogging streets.

    You can have recursive acronyms, so why not?

    I'd rather not add to the local landfill if I don't have to

    I didn't know you lived in Africa.

    Two thirds of them think having tribal tattoos and piercings designed to take a ship's hawser make them original and creative.
