    Wasn't the History Channel good (or at least, sort of OK) a few years back?

    By a few I probably mean about ten.

  2. 1st declension accusative singular on Geoblocking, Licensing, and Piracy Make For Tough Choices at Netflix (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    I didn't see anything that I wanted to watch. Simpsons - nope, goldrush - nope...(repeat ad nauseum)

    Are you that cunt who keeps phoning me about problems with my computer?

  4. Re:How would that work? on The President Wants Every Student To Learn CS. How Would That Work? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    I don't really agree. Being able to write a little bit is useful.

    Being able to code a little bit is more like being able to drive a little bit - you're likely to cause as many problems as you solve.

    First, the cultures need to match closely enough to minimize loss of information when communicating requirements.

    valid8 number is nummerical is not in state ment of needfuls increase in scope will cost xtras

    Second, the time zones need to match closely enough for clarifications and change requests to be communicated in a timely manner.

    Bof. If they won't work nights there's plenty of others.

    Third, the field of use needs to be one where sending information out of country does not pose an unacceptable privacy risk.

    Whose privacy? Whose risk?

    I get what you're saying but those things added together and multiplied by the PHBs' quarterly bonus squared don't outweigh "cheap".

    Sure. You just choose not to.

    I am sorry you weren't smart enough to learn C****

    I'm sorry you're not smart enough to know what a strawman argument is.

    Are you smart enough to poke yourself in the eye?

  8. Re: Embrace on Microsoft Announces R Tools For Visual Studio (technet.com) · · Score: 1

    First, R is an open source language.

    Well, there goes my "pirate R" joke.

  9. Re:Corrected summary on The President Wants Every Student To Learn CS. How Would That Work? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Not true. At least 30% of them are where he totally misinterprets and exaggerates what a politician said in the bar.

    Having had the misfortune to write C**** in anger, I wish she'd become a nurse or a schoolteacher.

    Slow down. Haste makes waste, you know.

  13. It's counter-productive anyway: it reduces the number of combinations you need to try.

    P.S. Whoever modded me down above, just go drink bleach.

  14. Facebook benefit from a well educated populace?

    No idea. If you can find one, ask him.

    I find SJWs - especially the self-identifying ones - almost as tiresome as hipsters.

    But if someone wants to waste his own money and he isn't bothering anyone else then I say let him get on with it.

  19. We get round that by either changing the payload itself (while rendering it still usable) e.g. by transcoding videos, adding filler pages to .pdfs and/or by zipping it together with a randomly gener

    OK, rewrite the first one as:

    "Twitter employees read every one of the 250 million tweets per day that some shitcock somewhere whined about for some reason and agree with the content of them all."

  23. Re:Flip A Coin on The FBI Feared Communist Infiltration of EPCOT (muckrock.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd say the FBI are more dangerous because commies are easier to spot, due to their funny accents and pointy beards and all that.

    Right. They were so totally satisfied with the situation at the end of WW2 that they didn't try to starve Berlin into submission three years later. Prague spring? Hungary 1956? I must have imagined them.
