  1. Ouch! I just walked into a goalpost.

    I swear it wasn't there before.

  2. You've embraced. You've extended. When are you going to extinguish?

  3. Is it because you like headphone jacks?

    They weren't thinking big enough. They tried to replace an init system with an init system. Evolution, not revolution.

    The Glorious Lennart has vision! He has ambition! He's going to replace an init system with a combined init system, network controller, desktop environment & kitchen sink.

    Funny, PulseAudio's like that. I wonder if there's any connection?

    What's really annoying is that Gnome 2 was more than good enough. They spent considerable amounts of money & time making something worse.

    What a great way to ask a question. I hope you never have to front a board of directors with an outburst like that.

    Go fuck a bollard, you pompous cunt.

    I'm old enough to remember when food really was seasonal. They didn't airlift sodding string bastard beans in from Kenya or anything like that.

    So when it was in, you pigged yourself immobile on it. By the time it was going out, no matter how much you loved it, you'd had enough - and something else was coming in that you haven't had for nearly a year. And so it goes.

    In the Netherlands a similar study claims the same about diary.

    Are fresh dates better than dried ones?

    Cheese and yogurt making involves the fermentation and conversion of lactose to amino acids.

    Twaddle. in yoghurt the lactose is converted to lactic acid. Lactic acid doesn't contain any nitrogen.

    If there are amino acids in cheese (some of them smell like it) then that's from proteins.

    Milk isn't nutritious at all if it makes you shit your arse inside-out; it's probably anti-nutritious.

    It's fairly nutritious if it doesn't.

  13. ... how old is Barbara Streisand?

    Indeed. It's like making a TV with a built-in VCR or combining the base unit[1] & monitor of a computer or a stereo that looks like separates but isn't.

    Every function of a watch has been replaced by a smartphone

    I suppose telling the time without ferreting about in your pockets and hitching up your overcoat while your hands freeze because you had to take your gloves off isn't a function then.

    Wristwatches replaced pocket watches for a reason, kiddo.

    In England & Wales a plaintiff (and I think in some cases the respondent/defendant) can be required to make a payment into court in various situations, one of which is to act as a bond if costs are awarded against him.
