  1. You mean the "newspaper" that used to have tits in it? They'd probably know the difference between "cost" and "coast" and capitalize place names derived from compass directions appropriately.

  2. They meant the gender gap is "76 cents for every dollar".

    That's wrong too.

    Don't get stuck up on semantics.

    Heaven forbid that people should be numerate and literate enough to understand a simple mathematical concept and express it in words.

    openness to other's ideas

    I see what you did there, timothy. I bet you don't.

  4. The well-known U.S. wage gender gap is 76 cents for every dollar men earn.

    Are you saying women earn less than a quarter of what mean earn?

    Let me put it another way: that is what you're saying, but is it what you meant?

  5. Re:Things Do Not Want on New Microhotels Fight Airbnb With 65 Square Foot Rooms (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you go to restaurants 3X a day while you're at home?

    No.

    Do you take an oven, hob, microwave, fridge-freezer and store cupboard with you when you go on a trip?

    One issue - apparently it makes you the verbs.

  7. everyone all already knew that timothy is stupid on Google Will Kill Its Chrome App Launcher For Windows, Mac, and Linux In July · · Score: 1

    everyone all already knew

    Everyone all, I presume, means even more than everyone. Something like the population of the world squared?

  8. I hope. We all hope. But are we hoping hard enough?

  9. Ebeling reportedly told his wife, Darlene, "It's going to blow up." He told another daughter, Kathy Ebeling

    Let me get this right ... his wife is the first daughter?

    We all know what comes from things like that: Slashdot editors.

  10. security waver on NSA Suggested Clinton Use A $4,750 Windows CE PDA (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    What's a security waver? Does it move it up and down, or from side to side?

  11. A timothy by any other name ... on Hotel Experience With Android Lightswitches (dreamwidth.org) · · Score: 3, Funny

    The hotel in which Matthew Garrett was staying at

    He should check his bill in case they charged him twice.

    Fail.

    Oh, and it isn't raviolus either

    Fail

    it's based on a Dutch borrowing if you must know

    Don't give a fuck.

    Overall: total fail.

  13. China's growing nation status

    Is it more of a nation than it was ten years ago, or is this just more incompetent writing funnelled through a dipshit editor?

  14. I could say why the author is a jerk, but I have to clean up a raviolus that one of the kids has dropped.

  15. Greater than recent? on A New Reality For IT: the 18-Month Org Chart · · Score: 1

    The article is greater than recent? Are they still writing it or something?

  16. Pray we do not change it further.

  19. Their goal was to make a system capable of mimicking the knowledge and intuition of human security analysts so that attacks can be detected in real time.

    That was their secondary fall-back goal.

    The primary was to be able to predict stock and commodity markets, or at least sports events. They gave it up because it wasn't really contributing to the greater good of humanity. No, really. Cross my heart.

  20. frosty on Interviews: Ask 'Ubuntu Unleashed' Author Matthew Helmke · · Score: 2

  22. dimothy continues to fail on Push To Hack: Reverse Engineering an IP Camera (contextis.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Verb, meaning to install or configure = "set up". Two words.

    Noun, referring to the output or result of the above = "setup". One word.

    Not fucking hard, is it?

    In many places in Europe the decimal place can be the thousands separator.

    No it can't. Decimal place isn't even a character.

    I would expect that when the page says it is displaying english, it would use the english thousands seperator.

    Well, you're clearly an expert.
