    You ambiguously elude to a few things.

    I think the point has alluded you.

  2. We don't have them because we won - twice.

  3. What's the name of the other one, whose business model is "saying the opposite to Gartner for profit"?

  4. You could at least have read The Fine Summary above

    Stop using grandpa's account, you little hooligan!

  5. Road damage is exponentially proportional to vehicle weight.

    You are literally as dumb as a rock.

    That's retail, I assume, and per pair?

    So extrapolating based on hammers & toilet seats they'll set Uncle Sam back by 6 grand a set.

  8. I can't drive in shoes at all. By shoes I mean formal shoes that you'd wear with a suit. The solution is to keep a pair of sneakers in the car.

    I tried driving in bare feet once and it tickled my toes like hell. Had to move the seat forward so I could press with the bit just behind the ball. Maybe if you do it all the time you get used to it?

  9. Benighted heathen on Microsoft Could Turn Every PC Into an Xbox (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    mold the Xbox One, you benighted heathen.

    I'll let the mold go - this time - as 300 million bloody idiots insist it's right and I can't be arsed to argue with the fat cunts.

  10. Re: Not so fast. on GE Considers Scrapping The Annual Raise (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    To be fair, the CEO and maybe the guy below him would have got huge raises no matter what.

  11. The middle pedal is not the casseur on Tesla: Model X Accident Caused By Driver Error, Not Autopilot (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I am talking about slowing down, not about breaking.

    If you don't slow down in time you might well break something.

    By being a genius with the IQ of an Einstein, I came up with an algorithm to achieve the optimal setting on my thermostat.

    Depending on whether it gets cold enough to burst pipes, I'm guessing the answer is either "off" or "an RCH above freezing".

    Then again, I'm almost as dumb as Feynman, so ou might be working totally over my head.

    A solution is a one-time income. A series of problems is a perpetual revenue stream.

    You should of gone to Arvhard like what me and my pop did. Then you'd know shit like that.

  16. Re:It's happened since the 90's on Uber Denies Access To Harvard Startup That Compared Ride-Hailing Prices (boston.com) · · Score: 1

    A few sites blocked the bot.

    I'd post those as the highest of the ones that did report, maybe with some random fudge factor on top.

    But then, I can be a vindictive bastard.

    I doubt Oracle themselves could even answer the question, even if they wanted to.

    Speaking as someone who's dealt with their, for want of a better word, arcane fee structures.

  20. countersue on Man Sued For $30K Over $40 Printer He Sold On Craigslist (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    He should counter-sue for barratry, libel, slander, arson, extortion, jaywalking and anything else he can think of.

    About a million - nah, make it two - should be about right.

  22. Re:Accounting is murky anyway on Oracle Whistleblower Suit Raises Questions Over Cloud Accounting (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem with Cloud is you're selling the customer the _potential_ to use a service in the future usually. Knowing when to book that as an actual sale seems to be hard with this model.

    Isn't that like insurance? They pay a premium each month, but you don't know when (or if) they'll make a claim.

    If it's the situation where they pay a base fee for availability plus usage fees if they exceed a threshold that's just like having a plumber/lawyer/electrician on retainer and paying parts, labour above X hours, disbursements etc as they arise.

    These aren't exactly new business models.

    It's called accruals (as opposed to cash) accounting.
