  1. You have a captain and a first officer who are both women, which would happen 25% of the time if men and women reached that rank equally often.

    Better hope their cycles don't get synchronised.

    That's wary. You can't be weary of something before it's even happened.

  3. It's mandatory to be a lesbian?

    Jokes are not statments of facts

    They totally are. I'm an Englishman and I once went into a pub with an Irishman and a Scotsman.

    You can look up patent applications for pies and see that the rejections have to be over prior tart.

    Copyright can cover ideas

    No it can't. It covers expressions of ideas. And no, that's not the same thing.

    That's vi vs emacs, surely?

    Cellphones killed them, every one.

    When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn? /#

  10. Has anyone else noticed this trend of CEOs saying stupid things?

    Perhaps they're worried that if they aren't in the spotlight for a while they'll cease to exist, or maybe it's the latest fad from some "guru".

  11. I rolled my eyes when they said that in the year 2000 there'd be hotels on Mars and we'd all have jetpacks.

  12. Legally they didn't steal anything. However as far as bragging rights go, they can sod right off. I'm sick of them and their fanbois claiming they invented the sun and moon and everything below them.

  13. They cut a turd in two. Now there's two turds!

  14. That would make an awesome movie. Just the one, though.

  15. There's probably a museum somewhere that has one.

  16. Now matter how much you automate, you'll require some labour - if only to feed the dog - and it'll still be cheaper in China.

    A top-poster?

    I thought those died out with usenet.

  19. It sounds better in French.

  20. I'm sure SuperKendall will be along shortly to tell you that it's socialised medicine that has the death panels.

  21. The write speeds are awesome. Plus it's webscale because it doesn't use joins.

  22. It's almost enough to store all the data their keylogger stole.

  23. We had some of them when I was at college. They were great for 1st year stats - you did the exercise on minitab, tore off the bog roll, added notes & comments, signed it & handed it in.
