  1. Re: In before Republican liars try to question all on Many of the Climate Impacts Predicted in the Last National Climate Assessment, in 2014, Are No Longer Theoretical (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds like bullshit to me. Wet potatoes go off really quickly, almost overnight. Anyone trying that trick would get zero repeat business.

    credited to help put Austin on the tech map

    What kind of retard speak is this?

  3. Mmm, Tibet? Weren't they involved in Korea too?

  4. What about Hitler, Neapolitan, or Genghis Khan?

    Type mismatch - expected parameter of type dictator, found icecream. Bailing near line 473.

  5. needing to do the needful on America's Nuclear Reactors Can't Survive Without Government Handouts (fivethirtyeight.com) · · Score: 1

    The average age of a nuclear power plant in this country is 38 years old

    Its age is zero milliseconds old, since it refreshes continually as time passes.

    Did you mean "The average age of a nuclear power plant in this country is 38 years", or perhaps "The average nuclear power plant in this country is 38 years old"?

    Don't play the hobbier-than-thou card with me, young man!

    They can't be that smart. Just look at their handwriting!

  8. Re: The so-called Flynn Effect... on We're All Getting Dumber, Says Science (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Not the brain. Different body part.

  9. If something in psychology hasn't already been known since ancient times, it's almost certainly false.

    Like the Dunning-Krueger effect? I wonder why that sprang to mind!

  10. Re:1984 was a warning, not an instruction manual. on Prosecution of UK News Photographer Collapses After Recording Disproves Police Testimony (wordpress.com) · · Score: 1

    There's a big scandal going on right now about prosecutors not disclosing evidence. Not quite the same thing, but if there's doubt about a conviction there is an appeal mechanism.

  11. The Word Hack is Meaningless and Should Be Retired on 'The Word Hack is Meaningless and Should Be Retired' (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Editor David is also Meaningless and Should Be Retired.

  12. Re:true, but needs focus on users first on Why OpenStreetMap Should Be a Priority for the Open Source Community (linuxjournal.com) · · Score: 1

    No. And that goes for astrologers, feng-shuists, and chiropractors too.

  13. Anyone who believes replying to tweets, no matter how mean, even cracks the list of top 1,000 worst jobs

    I'm rather surprised that it's a job at all.

  14. Re:please, do not break a language on Are Two Spaces After a Period Better Than One? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Wrong. I was taught, in England, to use one space after a comma and two after a full stop.

    Bizarrely, there are retards who put a space before. How shit is that ?

  15. Re:Not Invented Here on Ubuntu Considering an HTML5-Based OS Installer (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    The old installer was developed by the guys in room 21a. The HTML installer is from the guys at 21b. It's just down the corridor, on the the left.

    You're the one who started talking about guns.

  18. Crap summary as usual from ediduh Javaid on Facebook Exec Admits 'No Real Understanding' for the Scope of Fake News (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 0

    Headline saus exec - singular.

    Suammery says three, but doesn't bother to state their names or job titles.

    The one name mentioned is Juniper Downs. I can't tell if this is one of the execs who is somehow more important that the other two, the host/moderator of the conference, or a community for discerning semi-independent folks in their twilight years.

  19. Re:Same. I'm an early adopter so I got in early on Android Wear Needs More Than a New Name To Fight Apple Watch (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I had already transitioned to wearing traditional analog mechanical watches instead.

    Some of us never transitioned out of them, you retro-hipster you.

    Why would I code fizzbuzz? AnguNodePy has a standard Jizbag for that.

  24. Britons should be able to bid for 10,000 pound

    Perhaps the editors could use it to learn how to write amounts properly.

    Before any amateur grammarians spout up, yes, "a thirty pound prize" or "a twenty pound note" are correct, but that's not the construction here.

    That's not taught in CS. You want property law, room 12A.
