  1. I for one welcome our new cetacean overlords on DARPA Is About To Start Testing an Autonomous, Submarine-Hunting Drone (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I heard on the news that due to the actions of SMJWs[1] Sea World is dropping the orca displays. And they have a park where? San Diego.

    Coincidence? I think not.

  2. Re:Nobody needs these people on Harnessing Conflict in the Workplace (video) · · Score: 1

    I saw a talk about "what millenials want" (bizarrely, part of a series on UI design) and my thoughts were pretty much the same as yours.

    I know what they need - a sound kick in the arse.

  3. Anyone else remember when Qualcomm used to make lawnmowers?

  4. Re:Typing versus Reading on Symbolic vs. Mnemonic Relational Operators: Is "GT" Greater Than ">"? · · Score: 1

    Similar symbols are used in music for going quieter and going louder.

    I don't know when the current system came in, however, and it matters not a jot when you have tin ears.

  5. Re:Typing versus Reading on Symbolic vs. Mnemonic Relational Operators: Is "GT" Greater Than ">"? · · Score: 1

    Teachers who need calculators to do basic math.

    Not sure how that would help. Calculators do arithmetic.

  6. Re:Wow, a paper about GT on Symbolic vs. Mnemonic Relational Operators: Is "GT" Greater Than ">"? · · Score: 1

    It's much more likely that clumsy fingers will type a character one too many times (or one too few) than to type an entirely different character.

    It could be a breach of the peace (I have no idea what you colonial types call it) if it was disturbing non-participants.

    But then if you chose a vicarage tea party as the venue you ought to be summarily shot for being a blithering idiot.

  8. Re:No on Fury and Fear In Ohio As IT Jobs Go To India (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    This must be a new thing. I worked on an H1B in the early 90s and you couldn't change without your master's permission.

  9. Re:A better idea on How Outsourcing Companies Are Gaming the H-1B Visa System (nytimes.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The solution to that is to have the worker own the visa, not the employer.

    If they have 20 years' genuine experience and you try to pay them like a junior they'll soon sling their hook and fuck off somewhere else if the option's open. And all power to their elbow.

    The English law on assault has an exception for "manly sports". It's not assault if you consent, and by taking part you are assumed to consent to violence so long as it's within the rules & customs of the game.

    You certainly don't need permission from a judge to have a sodding game of Rugby. mark-t is either delusional or he lives in a place full of utter pansies.

  11. Re:worked out well for manufacturing, right? on Fury and Fear In Ohio As IT Jobs Go To India (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Fourth, the job might not exist. The CEO's cousin might have already been offered it but they have to go through the motions. Alternatively, the recruiter might just be fishing for sales leads.

  12. Re:Need Help on Interviews: Ask Mathematician Neil Sloane a Question · · Score: 2

    I was helping my eldest boy. He was adding 14 and 17 and getting 21. Then he added 16 and 28 and got 34.

    Then Kansas came on the radio and they had the answer: "Carry one my wayward son."

    Or have the visa owned by the worker, so he can change jobs at will.

  14. Re:Should I be concerned? on Baidu Data Research Reveals China's Ghost Cities (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    They're dispersal sites in case it looks like the cans of instant sunshine are going to start flying.

    (The cities I mean, not the sodding sheds.)

  15. Whenever I see shit like "Faraday hopes to distinguish itself by branding the car less as transportation than a tool for the connected class" I hear it in Windsor Davies' voice. I then utter his favourite catchphrase.

  16. When I see "could" in a headline ... on British Spaceplane Skylon Could Revolutionize Space Travel (ieee.org) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When I see "could" in a headline, I add "but it probably won't/doesn't" to the end.

    I think fundamentally this is closely related to Betteridge's law.

    Slight problem there. Systemd hasn't started up the heatcereal service. We don't know why (check the logs? Yeah, very funny), but it seems to have started when someone installed 3D printer drivers.

    Do something, get in the news, get thrown under a bus, and then ... ? (I assume it's profit, it almost always is.)

    You aren't indulging in a bit of stereotyping there, are you?

    But you could well be right that he's "taking one for the tribe". Umm, I mean team.

  20. Western powers had no right to interfere in changing demographics

    Having stolen it fair and square from the Ottomans, they totally did have the right.

    Elon Musk could do it, but only if he harnesses potential STEM workers from currently under-represented demographic tribelets using a 3D printer.
