    Blame teacher's unions

    Is it their fault you can't use an apostrophe properly?

  2. a web search engine.

    Preferably not yet another search system where the majority of your search results are merely the same question from one or two different users with a whole bunch of responses that are nothing more either than "Me too" posts while quoting the entire original post, or replies quoting the entire post and then a one line response encouraging the OP to fucking use Google (it is almost like many do not seem to understand where the search engines get their results).

    Oh, and let us not forget the many search results that do not seem to even have any of your search terms in it when you do click on the result.

    Yeah, I really hate those.

    Is that retarded rambling style a deliberate choice intended to add "edginess", or are you genuinely thick?

  5. Which were worst? Ummm, I'd just like to make sure my money's safe, that's all.

  6. So you select someone. How will people who don't get their own way react? To most he's just another faceless bureaucrat and they'll campaign to get him replaced. Rinse and repeat.

    A sizeable number will see him as an enemy of freedom/skydaddy/systemd and try more direct methods of removal.

    You can't win. It's like expecting soccer players to accept the referee's decision.

    Did the what read The Bell Curve? The cat?

  8. My pet favourite is phlogiston. While I could certainly have some fun making speeches about it I don't think it'd quite be worth living in Florida.

  9. No, but maybe that's because I'm a physic teacher. I do the occasional civic class too.

    Looks like somebody didn't bribe the right people. Schoolboy error, that.

  11. Fucking rubbish article. I've read more interesting phone directories. Hate to use *that* phrase, but I'm not seeing anything close to actual causality here.

    Is this their logic?
    1) younger men are working fewer hours
    2) the drop in young men's hours is more than in old gimmers
    3) young men play more videogames than old gimmers
    4) Therefore, videogames are causing the drop in hours

    I can't see why it isn't equally likely that when you've fuck all to do and no money to spend[1] because you've been made redundant or had your hours cut you play more videogames.

    [1] If you already bought the game & hardware it's a sunk cost.

  12. And I would find it very irritating when these folks would not go home

    Surreptitiously place a book, DVD, pair of brightly coloured socks in your desk drawer. Leave. Be sure to make a lot of noise about it. Say "goodnight" to everybody at least twice.

    Drive around for 15 minutes, then go back to the office.

    ...

    Profit!!!!

    I found some hits for using it with beer but I suspect they're getting it confused with nitrogen, which I know for a fact is used for stuff like stouts.

    Do you know anyone who works in a hospital/dental clinic ... give it a try (though I wouldn't!).

  16. If you could get away with it... on Colombian Airline Wants To Make Passengers Stand (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    I figure this probably breaks one or two little safety rules, though maybe if it's only on domestic flights they don't apply.

    I'm certain that if you could get away with it Try-onair would already be doing it.

  17. Guessing they're sacking the rest of their QA staff

    Come on. Surely they won't get rid of both of them.

    A UX engineer's job is to provide solutions to problems.

    No, that's a human factors engineer's job. A UX engineers job is to remove most of the functionality, hide the rest, and make everything light blue on a light grey background.

    A button may not be a good solution, maybe it should be a context-based suggestion, a tab, or whatever.

    No. It should be nothing, because *flat*.

    their job is to find the elegant solution.

    Elegant looking, perhaps, though even that's debatable. That's precisely the problem with the whole UX fad.
