  1. Re:Delayed for opening of Star Wars land at Disney on 'Star Wars: Episode VIII' Delayed By Seven Months (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    They can't build a theme park in under 12 parsecs?

  2. That's because we didn't have unixisc (alias Captain Obvious) to tell us that Hitler was a bit naughty.

  3. Re:Of the five on Tech's Big 5 -- Here to Stay? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I was reading Joel on Software in the netty, and one of the chapters was about how 19 of the top 20 tech companies had been replaced x years later.

    The only one that hadn't was Microsoft, and his reason was they hadn't made a colossal fuckup like all the others. He made a joke about clippy.

    Windows 10 is 27 legions of clippy.

    Perhaps if you actually thought about what you were saying you wouldn't contradict yourself so much?

    I suspect that if it was feasible and cost-effective to migrate they'd have done it 17 years ago.

    Piss on a fusebox, you aspie fucktard.

    Most women actually find wussy men likeable as friends.

    FTFY.

  7. An init system on Ask Slashdot: Good Introductory SW Engineering Projects? (HS Level) · · Score: 1

    An init system that's just an init system - not 97 other unrelated things.

  8. Re:Great Parents!! on Twins Study Finds No Evidence That Marijuana Lowers IQ In Teens (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    It caused low self-esteem?

    Don't be silly, things like that don't happen in the USA. Because guns.

  10. Does it run for five minutes then pop up a message saying "Go read a goddam book"?

  11. Re:One kind of employee on Google Has Toughest Interview Process For Developers, But Not the Worst (getvoip.com) · · Score: 1

    Seems they like ones who know what geolocation is, but don't know what HTTP headers are for.

    Being pretty dumb at geography & foreign languages appears to be a bonus.

    I self-identify as a Motie. I am triggered.

    My lawyer will be in touch.

  13. Re:He's Not Qualified on Hawking Says Scientific Progress Is Major Source of New Threats To Humanity · · Score: 1

    Say what? Next you'll be telling me that belting out catchy ditties doesn't make Bono an expert on agro-economics.

  14. Re:Why care? on Hawking Says Scientific Progress Is Major Source of New Threats To Humanity · · Score: 3, Funny

    What if we aren't an intelligent species?

  15. Re:New technologies? on Weak Electrical Field Found To Carry Information Around the Brain (eurekalert.org) · · Score: 1

    Even if the sheilding was faulty, I'm not seeing a plausible mechanism for there being waves bouncing around the room afterwards.

  16. Re:Interview "Grilling" or "Testing" is Poppycock on Google Has Toughest Interview Process For Developers, But Not the Worst (getvoip.com) · · Score: 1

    Thanks. I'd been wondering if it was something I'd done.

    Isn't it amazing how a company that constantly waves its willy about hiring only the best of the best is able to consistently produce such utter shite?

    (is THAT on topic, twat with the modpoints?)

  17. Re:Sweden worries about theirs too... on Belgium's Aging Nuclear Plants Worry Neighbors (phys.org) · · Score: 2

    Finland is Uralic.

    Type mismatch near line 261. Expected country, got linguistic group. Bailing

    If it's "Clash of Warriors" I was thinking of (among all the unsorted random stuff on my HD) then yes, you're closer.

  19. Re:Not a Question... on Interviews: Ask David Peterson About Inventing Languages · · Score: 1

    Is this any different than "spaceship model designer" or "cinematographer" or the guys who designed the weapons used by Orcs in LOTR over at WETA?

    A bit. Pretty much any SciFi or fantasy film is going to have those, but only a small minority bother with made-up languages.

  20. Ob on Interviews: Ask David Peterson About Inventing Languages · · Score: 0

    I guess Americans have an advantage in that there's very little likelihood that they'll unconsciously put bits of an existing language in.

  21. Re:New technologies? on Weak Electrical Field Found To Carry Information Around the Brain (eurekalert.org) · · Score: 2

    Just fucking don't go there. My wife is one of those nutters. She opens the kitchen windows if I've been using the microwave.

    There's an old joke about people who complained about a radio mast that they said was causing all kinds of problems from eczema to sour milk. The owner apologised, and hoped that it wouldn't get worse when the time came to switch it on.

    I rarely use the ones where the power isn't a multiple of 3.

    I have a spreadsheet I created for working out the cheapest online bookstore for specific books. It incorporates shipping costs - fixed and variable and currency exchange rates.

    It works for me, but it's a pile of shite.

    I can see how if I'd developed it at work to find the best supplier of buggerbum beans it might have grown into an entire procurment package. A shite one.

    You don't build an aircraft carrier by extending a four-drum raft.

    I don't agree that you need to learn coding to learn systematic thinking. Decent car mechanics tend to have it.

    Coding might be one way to pick it up. But if all they're doing is pissing around with framework-du-jour or making pooeypoint presentations I doubt it.

    Probably something to do with a turtle.
