  1. > If you met him on the street, you'd never guess that he once injected himself with a 3.5 million-year-old strain of bacteria...

      Well, I wouldn't guess this for anybody.

  4. Re:They're bums, why keep them around on Greece Is Running Out of Money, Cannot Make June IMF Repayment · · Score: 1

    There are EU taxes as well. And they are not confined to the Eurozone. Some countries receive more than they contribute (e.g. Bulgaria), others - the opposite (e.g. Germany, the UK, etc.). So these transfer payments do happen, EU-wide.

    Average net wage in (FYI: the two countries are neighbours and members of the EU; one is not in the Eurozone):
    Greece: 1004 euro
    Bulgaria: 356 euro

    Have you noticed the 2.82x louder whining coming from Bulgaria? Have you noticed its national debt? No?

    Once again: fuck you.

    For private companies, bankruptcy puts a ceiling on the amount of incompetence that can be tolerated. For government, there is no limit.

    The government of Greece is keen on proving that this is not true.

  9. Re:Ahhhh, C++ on Was Linus Torvalds Right About C++ Being So Wrong? · · Score: 1

    Operator overloading is just a special case of polymorphism. By your reasoning, it is impossible to look at a page of code written in any OO language in isolation and know what it does, with confidence.
