  1. And a light doesn't change just after the first one passes it.

  2. Re:In this case, they catch a killer on Genealogy Websites Were Key To Big Break In Golden State Killer Case (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    DNA matches person A, and person B. You need to find out the common ancestor of A & B. (And hopefully they only have one!)

    You're going a long way back if you're finding amoebae.

    I cannot control where I shed skin and hair.

    Yes you can. I have a 100% proven method for not shedding skin and hair in Gorky Park. It could probably work for other locations too.

  4. Re:Badge of Honour on US Keeps China, Puts Canada on IP Priority Watch List (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    An expectation that the department, as a whole, might produce something commercially successful is not the same thing as requiring that every individual experiment comes with a business plan.

    I'd have thought a captain of industry like you would know that.

    I saw article. Russian not use article, ever.

    The lack of dialog makes them easier to internationalize.

    Like Star Wars, then?

  7. John 8:7 on Design Commentary on Google's New To-Do Tasks App (pxlnv.com) · · Score: 1

    Anyone else think the typeface in the Wired article's headline sucks ass?

    Oh, and it's flak, not flack. The former is from the German for anti-aircraft gun, the latter means a shill.

  8. I once tried plaid on inverse plaid for a poster. It was ... different.

  9. Re:Rats fleeing a sinking ship on Tesla Autopilot Crisis Deepens With Loss of Third Autopilot Boss In 18 Months (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The only thing that is holding Tesla back, is their ability to produce cars fast enough.

    That's quite a big hindrance for a car manufacturer.

    P.S. You use too many commas.

  10. Mine doesn't even look like English unless I use a fountain pen.

  11. As I understand it the spoken form is almost identical. The Croats preferred to write using the Latin alphabet because they're mostly bead-jigglers.

  12. Re:Bachelor's degree a waste of time for coders on High-Paying Trade Jobs Sit Empty, While High School Grads Line Up For University (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    I once inherited some code from a guy who was self-taught. He'd only taught himself one form of loop.

    I don't remember off the top of my head if it was the test-at-the-top or ~bottom form. I *do* remember the clusterfuck of auxiliary flags and tests he used to shoehorn one into the other.

    He hadn't taught himself local data either. A100_first_time_round_flg, first_time_round_flg_b300a ...

  13. Perhaps you should learn the difference between arrest and conviction, and the respective levels of proof required.

    Why are you on your high horse? Been collared for looking at jihadi websites again, have you?

  14. https://news.slashdot.org/stor...

    Coincidence? I think not.

  15. Somebody hasn't done his job, then.

  16. What, in this day and age? I donÂ(manishsuckscock$TM) believe you!

  17. Double l is also considered a letter in its own right. So llama sorts after luz.

    Correction: s/is/was/, they changed it recently. Looks like my dictionary is out of date.

  18. You can enable the new look and features by clicking on the Settings cog in the top-right corner

    What are the chances of you being able to find the control to turn it off again if you don't like it?

    Assuming such a thing even exists.

  19. Odd name for a journal. Is it based in Sheffield?

  20. Re:This is what Europeans do best on Scientists Plan Huge European AI Hub To Compete With US (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    They will translate it into 24 languages

    Perhaps they can get the AI to do that.

  21. Perhaps it's another word for "hominids"?

  22. Re:They just want to decrease sexual harassment on Chinese Tech Companies Post Men-Only Job Listings, Report Finds (theverge.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    You're usually wittering on about how fucking brilliant China is. You should go and lie down before you have a fir of the vapours.

  23. Re: Yeah, dinasaurs on Was There a Civilization On Earth Before Humans? (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 0

    We were the first to mine coal, drill for oil

    Cola and oil might be their waste.

    Also, some things shouldn't go missing. Tracks on the moon, orbital satellites, undecomposable manmade polymers and alloys, radioactivity.

    Perhaps they were just more tidy than us.

  24. Re:Why is it really a problem? on Former Reddit Executive Sees 'No Hope' For Reddit (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    There are vastly more political dimensions than just "libtards" vs "cuckservatives"

    Didn't say otherwise.

    nor are centrists located half way between the two.

    Didn't even mention centrists, but why would they be called that if they aren't located sort of centrally?

    You should get reading skills above 2nd grade before throwing words like "retarded" around, fatty.

  25. Re: Figures on Could We Fund a Universal Basic Income with Universal Basic Assets? (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Perhaps the first sentence is the reason for the second sentence.
