    No problem... until it rained and the corps got wet again

    Marines should be used to that.

    As for the economy, it was all governed by the mafia.

    It's nothing to do with whose problem it is. If something is 40k new and worth 22k after three years, what's the absolute minimum the monthly charge can be? Assume the lessor intends staying in business.

    You shouldn't need a calculator.

    Any investment down there that generates skills and jobs, that does not end up in a mafia / Union quagmire is a good thing

    It's in Naples. The Mafia would be an improvement.

  9. Re:Oooh...a Shiny Certificate! on MIT To Offer Internet of Things Training For Professionals (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Before you can sell anything, you need to know who your potential customers are, right?

    Suggest to your marketing department that they start a project called Identify Demographic - Internet Of Things. Team identity is important. Budget for T-shirts & hats.

  10. Re:Pair programming is like tandem bicycling on Code Reviews vs. Pair Programming (mavenhive.in) · · Score: 1

    Pairing mental workers usually increases their performance by factors of three to five and often more.

    We should try quadding[1] them then. Will that make their productivity go up by six to ten, or by nine to twenty-five, or some other number?

    Feel free to pull a figure out of your arse. You should be able to remember where it is.

    [1] it is now.

    If you haven't been to the range for a day or two than yellowish is OK.

    There's probably one inside RH too. Can't possibly think who it might be, but the tea-leaves say he's a kraut who wrote a shit audio system.

  15. Shakespeare stole everything he read for his plays, including making up new words for the English language.

    I'm not sure it's possible to steal something you yourself made up.

    You know, those ideas like "do unto others"

    Does that mean that if she's screwing her tennis instructor I have to screw him too? I'd much rather bonk that chubby redhead from HR with the blouse like a photo finish in a Zeppelin race.

    Adultery is absolutely a crime in Virgina

    It's spelled "vagina". Does that mean nudging the fudge and tickling the tonsils don't count?

  20. Probably that Icelandic twat who's always complaining that he can't post in runes. Utter shitcock.

  21. Re:Seems simple to me on Can Author Obfuscation Trump Forensic Linguistics? (webis.de) · · Score: 1

    An example of obfuscating: How about a simple machine translation to another language?

    That would certainly obfuscate it for people who didn't speak the other language.

  23. Re:Lease, Don't Buy on How Robotaxis Might Mitigate Electric Car Depreciation (robohub.org) · · Score: 1

    Leasing doesn't magically make depreciation disappear. It just hides it and/or rearranges it.

    the cars are likely to wear out before they become worthless from a resale perspective.

    Nope. They'll become worthless before they wear out.

    Who writes this drivel? His name is suspiciously like Bennet Haselton.
