    If you have ever seen an animal die because they drank antifreeze that was left out/spilled, you wouldn't be saying this.

    There is no such thing as 'junk DNA', I wish people would stop saying that.

    Admittedly, I now get a lot of people shouting words like 'gay' and 'bender' when i cycle past.

    I hope you're telling them back to "bite [your] gay meaty ass!"

  9. Re:1-byte records? on Data Sorting World Record — 1 Terabyte, 1 Minute · · Score: 1

    In the 1TB benchmark, records are 100 bytes long.

    "100 bytes?" Why this arbitrary, ugly, sorry-ass excuse of a number? An elegant, round number like 64, 128... hell, even 96 would have been a sensible and far superior choice.

    6 Dream Jobs That Would Actually Suck

    There's also one that discusses preemptive disillusionment: The 6 Worst Jobs Ever (Were Done by Children)

  24. Re:Deepwater Horizon sounds like a title of on Quantifying, and Dealing With, the Deepwater Spill · · Score: 1

    Deepwater Horizon sounds like a title of a space horror movie. Or some under water slasher/ghost ship movie.

    Correct: Deep Blue Sea (1999) + Open Water (2003) + Event Horizon (1997)

    Regretfully, Leviathan (1989) failed to match our title mask.
