  1. Re:A statement of intent is not an actual plan on Despite Lean Space Budgets Russia Is Headed For the Moon (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Also observe Syria. Before Russian military got involved there, Assad's government was basically on its last ropes. After Russians came, Assad's forces with Russian help reconquered much of Aleppo, Hops, and Palmyra.

    Against an enemy with no airforce and very little air defence, that's hardly an achievement.

    Belgium could have probably managed it, and without hitting quite as many hospitals.

    They didn't invent the computer, or the things that led to it.

    Sucks to be them. Do better next time.

  3. Stop trying to turn Unicode into the world's most dysfunctional image format!

    Just wait till the hipster SJWs behind it all find out that there are languages that have no written form.

    They'll turn it into the world's most dysfunctional audio format too.

  4. Contracts and laws are put in writing, not crayon drawings or figurative dance.

    Maybe there's a reason for that?

    I suspect it's the kind of twattish thing the French do.

  7. And it does; within the scope of what Unicode is actually supposed to do

    Make text handling more complicated than it needs to be and waste storage & bandwidth?

  8. Is there one for "Pointless article about pointless research is pointless squared"?

    Hang on. Probably best to wait until there actually *is* one.

    One of the elements of DevOps is to combine the skillets

    Makes sense. Most DevOps people would be better employed as fry-cooks.

    I don't know about how your native language works, but in English the second one is not a simile, metaphor, allegory, opinion or anything of that kind.

    Low density is a good thing. You could use the fuel tank's buoyancy to generate lift. Maybe you could do away with wings completely.

    I'm amazed that in all humanity, nobody's tried it.

    Not currently (sorry). Maybe that's why they're targeting short haul flights - it's limited by the length of the cable.

    It's generally a bad idea to use foreign phrases in writing when you've only heard them spoken.
