    You gotta give them credits, they're more stupid than even the British with Brexit.

    Debatable. Trump can't last more than eight years, it's like in the rules and all that.

    The Brexit mess will still be there twenty years down the line.

    I was going to claim the term "yellow-washing", but it's already a thing.

    Record implies storing at the rate that the data is produced.

    Yes, I know.

    I think I read "not just" as "just not".

    It started making a funny "put-put-put" noise, but they mistook it for somebody talking.

    Amazon is just a seller

    In which case they bear the responsibility - though they can in turn sue their supplier, and so on.

    If you went to a restaurant and ate a steak and it gave you food poisoning would you accept "take it up with the butcher" as an answer?

    There should be a mod which is both -1 and +1 titled "depressing, but true".

    It's refreshing to see people who will readily admit when they're wrong

    Yes, it's a pity that more boche bastards don't follow suit.

  10. If you use firefox you'll probably need to upgrade sooner than that...

    Or eclipse, for that matter.

  11. You'd think Amazon of all companies could have kept a close eye on their supply chain for these things

    I see what you did there.

    Unlike the plaintiffs.

  12. OK, it's late, but... on SanDisk Breaks Storage Record With 400GB MicroSD Card (extremetech.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    SanDisk claims it can be used for recording video, not just storing it.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but how do you record videos without storing them?

  18. Scoville who? on How NASA Kept the ISS Flying While Harvey Hit Mission Control (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The first time you mention someone, you should give their full name and job description, e.g. Dr Scoville K. Capsacain III, mission control controller, said ... .

    That way readers know who the Holy fucking Mary he is.

  19. i7 8 core 3.07G throttled to 1.6 until I get a new heatsink. Still I/O bound before the CPU's maxing out.

    I wonder what the point is.

    Is it the malware host that the blue hipster fucktard who knows nothing about science used to link to, or am I confusing it with something else?

  22. university participation rates amongst young people in 1950 were 3.4% of the UK population, in 2013 it's over 50%.

    This is a good thing. A very good thing. Given the extensive flooding that's happened in recent years it's more vital than ever that wickerwork production is not interrupted.

    but they also have a lifetime battery warranty.

    How sumptuously vague. It could mean that it lasts as long as it lasts or that if your battery fails they have you assassinated.

    What it really suffers from (modulo total lack of originality) is imprecision. Average is just a measure of central tendency. It can refer to the mode, median or mean (and there are several types of those, too).

  25. I heard some don't know the difference between "much" and "many". Frightful!
