  1. Back in the mid 18th century there were plenty of alternative employment opportunities for displaced agricultural & industrial workers.

    Now they did mostly involve going to other countries and shooting people (and occasionally being shot by them) and being flogged and catching horrible diseases. But you can't have everything, can you?

  2. They hadn't even evolved when you were my age. So STFU, you toothless pant-pisser.

  3. Re:Please please on Mozilla Plans To Remove Support For Firefox Complete Themes · · Score: 1

    Classic Theme Restorer will almost assuredly be completely dead with this change because I'm assuming it's effectively a theme and they're removing the ability to rearrange the UI at all.

    Firefox can fuck off then. At some point they made a dog's breakfast of the UI and without CTR it's a pain in the ass to use.

  4. There's not much gets past you, is there?

  5. Re:Probably not a coincidence on Same Birthday, Same Social Security Number, Same Mess For Two Florida Women (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    Not from the US, but I worked there for a while. It was a long time ago but I'm pretty sure I went to the office, showed my visa and the lady pulled a stack of cards out of her desk. She took the one off the top, put the details in the computer, handed it to me. Ten minutes from finding the place to "have a nice day".

  6. It depends where you put the brackets. on Usernames Reveal the Age and Psychology of Game Players (sciencedirect.com) · · Score: 1

    That or a bus full of prostitutes.

  7. Stupid fucking cunts, the pair of you.

  8. AniMoJo has gone shopping on Boot Camps Introducing More Women To Tech (dice.com) · · Score: 1

    Why? Do you assume that all women fit into your prostitute fantasy?

    I will add that the phrase "boot camp" is an insult to all those who died at Hiroshima and Nagasaki due to US imperialism and should be replaced with something less militaristic.

  9. mongoDB on PostgreSQL Getting Parallel Query · · Score: 0

    It will be interesting to see how it compares with MongoDB. MongoDB does not use joins. MongoDB is webscale.

  10. Obligatory car analogy on Comet Catalina To Pass By Earth For the Final Time · · Score: 1

    So it's like saving the effort of walking by standing in the road and letting a bus catch up with you, only very much more so?

  11. Re:Great algorithm - would implement! on New Algorithm Recognizes Both Good and Bad Fake Reviews (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    I think I've seen that before. It was in a forum about C++.

  12. Re:A better idea on How Outsourcing Companies Are Gaming the H-1B Visa System (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    While Italy certainly does have issues and has had for a very long time, why Belgium? Do you actually mean the EU Council or Parliament?

    What a stupid question. Do I look like an American?

  13. Re:Consider Google/Alphabet on Even the CEO's Job Is Susceptible To Automation, McKinsey Report Says (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    If I were Sergey Brin, Larry Page, or Eric Schmidt I'd have a veritable platoon of specialist lackeys to do all that stuff for me and just feed me the gist.

    Do you think Ike looked at all the maps and photos himself when they were planning for Overlord?

  14. You know I read a lot. on New Book Sold Out Offers a Look At the H-1B Debate · · Score: 1

    Seriously where did people get the idea that opinion pieces need to be objective or balanced?

    They tend to work better if they appear to be, or at least look like they're making a fair effort.

    You know I read a lot. Especially things that have to do with history & strategy and all that. I find that shit fascinating. So when you're trying to knock out the US Navy in one afternoon, you don't lead up to it by taking out ads in the Washington Post saying "OI! Pearl Harbor! We're gonna blow your ass off, LOL BANZAI!!!eleventyoneone".

    +1 Would buy a new keyboard again.

  16. Re:Then what are they going to do with the extra t on TV Networks Cutting Back On Commercials (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There was something on the BBC news this morning. They're incorporating the ads into the shows.

    A character in an Australian soap skates past a poster, and the poster will be for a local product depending on where it's being broadcast.

    They were even [the moving version of] shopping different cars into scenes. And the pixels weren't wrong - it wasn't at all obvious, even if you've seen a few.

  17. Re:Just one question... on Interviews: Ask Stack Overflow Co-Founder Jeff Atwood a Question · · Score: 0

    I don't even know my password to stackexchange.

    But given that their policy requires a mixture of uppercase and lowercase in a ratio between 2:3 and 3:4, 7 digits, all different, that can't be found in the ascii representation of any of the aforementioned, two punctuation marks, one Cyrillic or Greek letter and some valid morse code it's hardly surprising.

  18. Re:But People on Dorms For Grownups: a Solution For Lonely Millennials? · · Score: 1

    But then there's KGIII, who founded his own company when he was 9 and retired as a multi-millionaire by the time he was 13, was ratarsed for the following four decades and now travels the country picking up chicks at will. Combine the two and there's a certain balance.

    Maybe they're alter-egos?

    I'm also really certain that my collection of firearms is going to be a show-stopper.

    Come on, now. Do you really need two howitzers?

  20. Ah. Was that before they merged to form Comcast?

    Schneiderman, Schneiderman,

    Look out, here comes the Schneiderman

    [1] Couldn't think of anything that rhymes with "subpoenas" apart from "dry cleaners", and that totally won't scan.

    Autonomous/Automatic Sardine Can Opener. Pronounced ass-cow.

    Or stick Chinese/Commie in front and say cash-cow. It probably will be, to somebody.

  23. The speed in knots of a displacement hull is roughly 1.3 * sqrt(length at waterline in feet).

    Engine (or oar, or sail) power doesn't factor into it at all?

    You want to make the USA like Belgium and Italy?
