    2. racism was coined as the name for the ideology of thinking there is such a thing as races! (Biology has no such concept, dear Americans. And neither does the rest of the world, especially us Germans.)

    You're saying there's no recognisable subdivision below the species level?

    Farmers might not agree with that.

    If you prefer an empiric approach, try kicking a chihuahua and a bull mastiff up the arse. They're both canis [lupus] familiaris, so the result should be the same.

    It's correct in the linked article at endgadget.

    Which means BeauH1B either thought it was wrong and changed it or he doesn't know how to copy & paste.

    There's a TV show called Gogglebox where you watch people who are watching TV.

    It was previously suspected, not known, that the basement rock was crystallized under the weight of the 2 kilometer thick ice sheets

    It's unclear to me why you'd think users having choices is bad.

    Because *I* have better taste than them, and I have a piece of paper and 40k of debt to prove it.

    In the mean time, they've suspended trash pickup and restroom maintenance.

    Did they try calling creimer?

    Currently about 45% of Facebook users are 18-34.

    I can easily believe that, but how old are they?

  16. The proper thing to do is to run the plates, and go arrest the guy while he is watching TV later than evening.

    Don't you think arresting someone whose car's been stolen is adding insult to injury?

  17. They still think digital watches are cool on NASA Spacecraft Confirms Successful Flyby of Distant Solar System Object (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

  25. Re:Jacks on Dev vs. Ops: The State of Accountability (overops.com) · · Score: 1

    There's nothing wrong with knowing a bit of someone else's job in addition to your own. If nothing else it aids understanding.

    The problem is when you have a dev who sort of knows a bit about system administration because he kept the lights on that time the actual sysadmin was away on a course. Then some PHB decides you don't need the sysadmin any more, because the dev can do it. And then something crops up that isn't in the "For Dummies" book, and the safety rope - interrupting the guy on the course - isn't attached to anything.
