  8. because using plural pronouns in singular sentences leads to odd grammatical constructions that require significant effort on my part.

    We suffer from the fact that the creators of English failed to create the proper super/subclass object types to contain a singular instance of either gender. But this is Slashdot, which is largely populated by software geeks. By now an effort should be underway to create a new language which properly handles this construct.

    But odds are that language would give white space syntactic meaning. Which is sort of like my wife staring at me, expecting me to understand the message.

  14. Remember 2G? on Fifty 'Connected Cows' Already Have 5G (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    When the telecoms rolled out stuff like GPRS to support simple packet data applications. And lots of manufacturers embedded 2G GPRS modems in their products? Ant then the telecoms pulled the rug out from under 2G, rendering a lot of expensive equipment useless. Never again. Fooled me one, shame on you. Fool me again, shame on me.

    Cows might not be a great example of this problem, as they are inevitably going to be rotated through a production line. Where new hardware can be fitted and the old stuff retired. Maybe the cellular companies can trade sheep (humans with fondleslabs) up to the latest shiny tech. But businesses have a much longer investment horizon for embedded hardware.

    ... which doesn't really characterize the nature of the reversal. It could be anything from poles moving 6 degrees per day to years or hundreds of years. And the transition might be the poles wandering around for many years. Which won't result in the loss of the field, but it pointing in various directions or broken up into subdomains. All of which will have radically different effects on geomagnetically induced currents and procedures needed to deal with them.

    Not nearly enough. Particularly if you health nuts don't keep up your end of the deal by eating more fried food. To make an appreciable dent in the fuel market, you are going to have to grow something like palm oil. On a huge scale. Here comes the deforestation and the end of the orangutans.
