  1. Re: You are falling wrong on Stunt Woman Tests Apple Watch With Violent Fake Falls (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    You missed an article before "other", Ivan. And it should be "putting it in context".

    P.S. Sentences don't end themselves.

  2. Re:Editors! Huh! What are they good for? on Artificial Sweeteners Are Toxic To Digestive Gut Bacteria, Study Finds (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    As someone who's down almost 15kg from his peak I can tell you that inside every fat bastard there's a thin bastard trying to get out.

  3. Re:Saccharin is made from coal on Artificial Sweeteners Are Toxic To Digestive Gut Bacteria, Study Finds (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Funnily enough traditional foods that contain toxins are usually prepared in a traditional way to remove or deactivate those toxins, so I fail to see the relevance at all.

    As for coal, it's a bastard to mine compared to chopping down trees and surface deposits are rare. Plus it smells a lot worse than wood. For this reason it wasn't used much before the industrial revolution. This is a mere blink on evolutionary timescales.

    Wait. So how much Diet Coke do I need to quaff before my shit glows in the dark?

    It's almost like we have had an obesity epidemic for the past 40 years. HMMM I wonder why.

    I think it's because there's so many fat bastards around.

    Next!

  6. Re:"only one milligram per milliliter of sweetener on Artificial Sweeteners Are Toxic To Digestive Gut Bacteria, Study Finds (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It wouldn't be true in any case, because the solute is one thing and when you mix it with a solvent it becomes another thing. There's a word for that - a solution.

    It's like using the same word in the same sentence to mean both salt and brine.

    Or maybe CO, which is OK because it's one less.

    It's like saying beer contains 8% beer by volume.

    False dichotomy. Plenty of people have handled similar accusations with calm and dignity.

  10. Re:Not compatible on Wi-Fi Now Has Version Numbers, and Wi-Fi 6 Comes Out Next Year (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    More recent standards have backward compatibility, but that hasn't always been the case. The summary is wrong.

    You may well be right about that (not my area of expertise) but if you aren't you will be.

    Backward compatibility adds complexity. And adding complexity adds costs. Adding costs reduces bonuses.

    Somethings's got to go, and it won't be the bonuses.

  11. Yeah, and add an almost appropriate alliterative adjective.

    Second thoughts, belay last. That'd just be sooooo camp.

    Everyone will still just call it WiFi. FCC dictates strength and range

    They don't dictate any fucking shit to me, you fat cunt.

  13. Re:Because no one reads them! on Ask Slashdot: Why Does Almost Nothing Come With a Proper Printed Manual Anymore? · · Score: 1

    Were these manuals, full of extraneous commas too? Or did you, get someone with a clue to, write them?

  14. There's using a word metaphorically and there's using the wrong word. They aren't the same thing.

  15. Re:Where do you put it? on Ask Slashdot: Why Does Almost Nothing Come With a Proper Printed Manual Anymore? · · Score: 1

    It's called a bookshelf. Of course most people buy them from somewhere like Ikea and they can't figure out how to put them together.

  16. Re:Dead trees cost money on Ask Slashdot: Why Does Almost Nothing Come With a Proper Printed Manual Anymore? · · Score: 1

    I find it easier to google the manual online than find the one that came in the box with the product.

    Unless the product in question is your modem/router etc.

  17. You supposed to have learned something useful while still a kid.

    Like the difference between "you" and "you're"?

    If your hiring on the cheap

    Or the difference between "you're" and "your"?

    What would a minimum wage be, if not the least wage that a person could survive upon?

    Well it could be the least that employers can get away with.

  19. they mean mostly the same thing but slightly different

    No they don't. Not unless a monarch controls a country with leather straps.

  20. M7700 comes close. They weigh 17 tons, though.

  21. I reckon there's a signed where it should be unsigned (or vice versa) somewhere.

    If you jammed them you can always bring them in and replace the electronics in them.

    Jamming prevents it contacting its base. It doesn't allow you to control it.

    Yeah, apart from the tiny detail of having to be physically there those are exactly the same thing.

    That's like saying it referred to "pink farm animals with flat snouts that like to roll in mud" and didn't mention "pigs" at all.
