  1. Pity you didn't take Economics as a minor. You might understand things like discount rates/time value of money and opportunity cost. Then you wouldn't make such an ass of yourself.

    Because if I take it before I get off the plane, I feint.

    When do you launch the real attack?

    What the hell are they putting in cars these days to make them so much heavier?

    Americans.

    Actually that's unfair; they're only about half the increase. The rest is iPhone dongles.

  4. Degrees are also insanely expensive in the UK.

    If the UK is insanely expensive I don't think there's a word to describe the situation in the US.

  5. Some part of "post brexit" confusing you?

  6. I'm very certain that within the next 10 years, you are going to see those same people in charge of hiring raise the bar to a Masters degree at minimum

    Red Queen effect. It's a known thing.

  7. In fact, forget the dancing.

  8. BP my arse.

    "pounds sterling", "GBP" (that's the ISO code) or just plain old "pounds" are all acceptable.

    You could use the symbol (the one that looks like a curly L, not the one like a sharp sign), but slashdot would probably convert it to [(*Ä*)] or something.

  10. thrown up a smoke screen

    I can just about make out what you did there.

  11. I have great difficulty believing that

    Try googling it then. It's a matter of record.

    P.S. Denying actual, verifiable & objective facts gets modded insightful?

    With Gnome doing the UI it'll be so private that even the owner can't find his shit.

    You don't understand what hyphens are for either.

  14. They're bored with making an utter fucking mess of software. They want to do it with hardware now.

    Though they'll probably say "synergy" or some such twaddle.

    My answer would have been that world might be, but the monkeys who currently run it aren't.

    You've changed my mind.

    Similar thing for me, except it was in North Wales on an outdoor pursuits course. We must have found, by pure chance, a place where any light from roads or villages was masked by the mountainous terrain and there was no cloud either.

    We sat gawping at it all for about an hour in more or less silence. And no, we hadn't been eating any strange plants or fungi.
