  1. Claude Littner off of The Apprentice on Silicon Valley Courts Brand-Name Teachers, Raising Ethics Issues (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    As Claude Littner one said "You're not a brand. You're not even a fish!".

    IANAL, but isn't that laches by about 5.5 years?

    The USA has no rectors that can use spent fuel in any meaningful way.

    This is because graduating in both physics and theology is quite a tall order.

  9. I suppose concluding that ToS was before the purported invasion is too much of a stretch for you.

  10. Re:in other words on 60,000 Germans Evacuate While Officials Try To Defuse a WWII Bomb (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    I knew a guy who was in a bomb disposal unit in the Belgian army.

    Apparently chemical ones are the worst. They have to identify what it is (not easy when the paint's fallen off and it's encrusted with a century's worth of rust), move it to a secure lab, then release the contents, in a sealed chamber, into a substance that will neutralize or absorb the poison.

    If they don't find any more they might be finished in about 2030. But they keep digging them up...

    I first had to face this problem back when the only online forum for discussing it was Usenet, which had no visibility with the general public whatever.

    I wish. You've never heard of the September that never ended?

    I heard on the TV about a blockbuster. That's 4,000lb, IIRC. A cookie is 8,000, unless it's the way round.

    In either case it's pretty big. Only Lancasters could carry anything bigger (up to 20,000lb), and even then only with modification.

  14. Re:It works for natural languages on Do Code Bootcamps Work? (inc.com) · · Score: 1

    If you can teach someone to speak, read and write a natural language (such as French, German, Arabic, etc.) in an intensive course lasting a few weeks - which is well known to be possible

    Starting from not speaking or writing any language at all?

    In any case, such a short course is barely going to teach you the rudiments.

  15. Re:There's no reason a bootcamp can't work. on Do Code Bootcamps Work? (inc.com) · · Score: 1

    Something approaching a CS degree program without the general education requirements to go with it would be ideal. Anyone doing that?

    There's definitely one. I believe they call it "Britain".

  16. Re:Bootcamps work for some people on Do Code Bootcamps Work? (inc.com) · · Score: 1

    When the camps first opened there were far more people interested in attending the boot camps than there were available seats. This meant that they could be very selective in admissions leading to better results.

    They could do that. Or they could jack the price up and trouser all the wonga.

    One of the little metal fingers in the timer broke off, and the whole timer module had to be replaced.

    Must have been a while back if anything could be replaced (except maybe seals and drivebelts).

    I was thinking of those graphs so beloved by economists where one line slops up and the other slopes down.

    If those lines are resolution available and what I can detect I think they crossed already.

    If Reservoir Dogs counts as a gangster movie I've watched two. The other is the one with "I read a lot about history ... Sicilians are actually N1ggers".

    You can see I'm a total movieholic, can't you?

  22. My guess is that it won't hurt, but also won't help anyone. Proving that the only people these deals actually help are the elites who craft them.

    So it won't help anyone, except those that it helps.

    Your guess isn't even coherent. It would have to improve vastly to even be bad.

  23. Ridding yourself of an entire division that is making that much revenue cannot be justified with your simplistic reply.

    It rather depends on what the associated costs are, which is the point the "simplistic reply" was correctly making.
