  1. Not a bright 'un. Brighton? Geddit? on Finland Begins To Shape Basic Income Proposal (yle.fi) · · Score: 1

    Democracy is simply mod rule.

    You're off your rocker.

  2. Re:What's up with the ' on Slashdot Asks: Notes For Next Hallowe'en? · · Score: 2

    English spelling is based on common usage not being a pedant.

    Only people can be pedants, but "common usage" is an abstract noun. You have a type mismatch.

  3. Re: my apalogies to your wife. on Mexican Senator Drafts One of the World's Worst Internet Laws (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm quaking over his spelling - apalogies indeed. OK, "arraigned" and "comprising" are actual words, but they aren't the ones he was looking for.

    He makes Joe_Dragon look like Stephen Fry.

    This guy wants to annex a country with an entirely alien culture, an entirely different language, and all kinds of social problems?

    Carly Fiorina could do it, just like she did with HP and ... umm, hang on.

    I'll get me coat.

    I'm not sure I agree that it was all that culturally united, having known several Bavarians.

    Bavarians are a bit of an outlier. The German equivalent of Irish jokes are about Bavarians.

    When I say Irish jokes, I mean Polack jokes. You must be an American to be so wrong about other countries and so sure you're right.

    The nationalism isn't particularly healthy, which is one reason why they shouldn't have unified.

    I don't see how that's the case - they've hardly been sticking the pointy hats on and goose-stepping over their neighbours - but in any case it's not your call.

    Why the fuck do they need your approval, fatty? I doubt you could even point to Germany on a map[1], so stop parroting the first thing Google throws up.

    [1] Of Germany.

  8. Let him have Czechoslovakia if it keeps him quiet on Busybox Deletes Systemd Support · · Score: 1

    It's not an init system. It's a "system management framework", didn't you read the article?

  9. Re:Bizzarro World on US Tech Giants Increasingly Partner With Military-Connected Chinese Companies · · Score: 1

    It belongs to the people. Not all of them, obviously. I mean, that would be like communism or something.

  10. Re:Sing it, Bob on Crime Lab Scandals Just Keep Getting Worse (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    You're right. My annoyance at getting it wrong is softened by someone actually knowing what I was talking about.

  11. Sing it, Bob on Crime Lab Scandals Just Keep Getting Worse (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    The trial was a pig circus. He never stood a chance.

    I want to know what substance with negative weight was on them.

  15. She so small... on Mother of All Apes May Have Been Surprisingly Small (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    A story where "ur mom " would actually be a relevant comment.

  17. Dear cockroaches/meerkats/squid on Twitch Viewers Will Try To Collaboratively Install Arch Linux (twitchinstalls.com) · · Score: 1

    Dear cockroaches/meerkats/squid/whatever

        If you've reached the point where you can read this you've probably discovered plenty of evidence of our existence. If we had an idea what questions you'd ask, we'd have left answers. But we didn't. Because we were always way too focussed on trivial shit.

        So all there is to say is this: we're sorry we fucked it up. Try to be better than us.

        Yours sincerely,
                the apes.

  18. Re:Dock the severance pay of the old IT guys / HB1 on Lessons From a Decade of IT Failures (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    H with increasing numbers makes a lighter, thinner line. B with increasing numbers makes a darker, thicker line.

    HB is basically the middle[1]. Assigning a number to it makes as much sense as saying something is very zero.

    [1] apart from F, which is stupid, and stands for "fuck off".

  19. How do you match the size of the data center to the demand profile of smaller markets?

    Neither the Sun nor the Earth is a point. Your shade-o-lite would need to be, at a minimum, the same diameter as the smaller object.
