  1. Re:Some of this sounds illegal? on Vertu, Phone-Maker To the Rich, Says It's Broke (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Not any more. St Theresa has freed us from such socialist nonsense as being obliged to actually pay workers. The grubby little oiks ought to be grateful for having something to occupy them, given how atrocious daytime TV is. The devil makes work for idle hands, you know.

  2. You do realise that there is more than one kind of plastic, right?

  3. Control group on Ends, Means, and Antitrust (stratechery.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    In other words, as long as prices do not increase -- or even better, decrease -- there is, by definition, no illegal behavior.

    This is utter twaddle. Without any shenanigans they might - due to technical advances - have decreased even more.

  4. as you sweat, it evaporates, dissipating heat off your body. As long as you are hydrated, this will work.

    You're missing one important factor: the humidity of the air. The higher it is, the less effective sweating is at cooling you. When it reaches 100% sweating doesn't do anything at all.

  5. Picasa was a fucking piece of bastard shite.

    Unless it was an exercise in how not to design a UI, in which case it was a roaring success.

    However the point is mute

    No it isn't. Perhaps you should STFU, and then you would be.

  7. Re:Gulshan Rai is an idiot on India Presses Microsoft For Windows Discount in Wake of Cyber Attacks (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows that Indians are like totally the best in the world at computers. Their own home-grown Linux distro is widely acknowledged to be the best in the world, beating RHEL and SLES on servers and routing all the Debian herbal varieties on deskies while being more flexible than Arch or LFS.

    So why the heck didn't they install that?

    What? I remember a constant battle to prevent the bloody thing buggering up my Win 7 & 8 machines that were working fine. What are you smoking, and where can I get some?

  9. Anybody know on Sony Will Start Pressing Vinyl Records After 28-Year Hiatus (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Anybody know what the Japanese for hipster is?

  10. Eh? From what GP wrote, it was Sony who fumbled the egg here.

    It wouldn't have killed them to have just let the accounts continue in the meantime, until it was solved. Little bastards.

  11. This post brought to you by ampersand e acute sem on France Drops Windows 10 Privacy Case After Microsoft Changes Telemetry Settings (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    You managed it. Seems this Mark Wilson fucktard doesn't know how to proofread. They'll probably offer him a job.

  12. WTF is a libert? The noise frogs make, perhaps?

  13. Apart from one small detail: nobody would actually say the second one, because it sounds wrong and is wrong.

    Now "ask them to queue" or even "queue them up" are acceptable, but not what you wrote.

    Your usage is an eggcorn.

    The difference is that with human-created art you think "what was the fuckhead smoking?", but with computer-created art it's more like "what was the fuckhead who programmed it smoking?"

  17. Re:They broke the back button on Opinion: Google Unleashes Terrible New Update For Google News Upon the Net · · Score: 1

    No matter where you are on the news page, be it halfway down the News section or halfway down finance, click to read an article, click back to go back, and you're at the top of the main news page.

    So now there are two sites that do that?

    I've often wondered if it's the default way http works and every website (bar two) have managed to work around it or whether some idiots implemented it intentionally because they thought it was a good idea.
