    One can have a comfortable existence by working.

    Put those goalposts back where you found them.

  2. On octave is 12 semitones whatever the key isn't it? It's just that the sequence of whole/half intervals is different. TTSTTTS and all that.

    Having exhausted my knowledge of music theory, I'll leave it at that.

  3. Hmmm on An iOS 11.1 Glitch Is Replacing Vowels (mashable.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does this explain the outbreak of &@(TM)$ that seems to be afflicting our beloved site?

    Theirs a huge difference between "I got a degree, so I can stop learning" and "I got a degree I don't have to learn a disparate skill"

    Is they're a huge difference between theirs and there's?

  6. Re:I can see where this is headed on Hello, Mobile Operators? This is Your Age of Disruption Calling (mckinsey.com) · · Score: 1

    Paying more monthly for a phone that was a color other than black.

    Even then, white cost most of all.

  7. But murca bigger! Murca got more ruralz!

  8. Wall of text on Apple is Really Bad At Design (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they do, but they know how to do paragraph breaks.

    No jokes about wanking yet? This place isn't what it used to be.

  12. Re:Nothing sudden about it on How Fonts Are Fueling the Culture Wars (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    You don't have to be blind to be unable to read a sign. There are poisons which are odourless and tasteless.

    Any other bits of your ignorance I can chisel away at while I'm here?

  13. Re:Nothing sudden about it on How Fonts Are Fueling the Culture Wars (backchannel.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't know. What if you couldn't read a sign or a label and drove off a cliff or poisoned yourself?

  14. William -- Shatner on Snapchat Files For a $3 Billion IPO (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    The company -- originally named Snapchat -- has declared its intentions to become -- a camera company -- rather than just an app developer.

  17. If your native language is Pundujabit on Smaller ISPs Have Happier Customers, UK Based Study Says (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    The four biggest companies accounts for 87 percent of the market

    Now it might make sense that if the subject is plural (hence, usually ends with an 's') the verb should too. It might make sense if you are normally speaking the jolly old Pundujabit, old chap.

    But it's doesn't work like that.

  18. Try adding it to humans first. Starting with slashdot editors.

  19. Accuses of. Criticizes for.

  20. Somebody wrote a perl script!

    You seriously think that most of the people here are over 25?

  22. Doing the doubtful on Web Bluetooth Opens New Abusive Channels (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    Web Bluetooth will allow to connect local user devices with remote web sites.

    Will also allow sentence not having getted one subject?

  23. A-Class: Doesn't matter, it's upside down anyway.

    Before most people's time, but unless you inherited that ID you're old enough to remember what I'm talking about.

  24. New strapline on No One Wants To Buy Twitter (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The Verge - for people who find Wired too difficult.
