  1. Re:The truth is... on Data Centers Push Back On US Efficiency Rules · · Score: 1

    Google just wants to continue using the chilled blood of babies to cool their data centers.

    As far as hemocoolants go, this guy's blood would probably work better.

    [...] if I have to buy a Mac for someone it's like pulling teeth.

    We're kindred spirits! When someone asks me to buy a Mac "computer," I work 'em over with a pair of Vise-Grips until they become reasonable.

    coprolalia

    copro- [prefix] dung, excrement, feces
    -lalia - combining form denoting a condition involving speech

    With this prefix and suffix, we essentially have "the talking of shit; shit-talking." In my experience, this has a more specific (and generally more condemnable) meaning than the mere vocalization of vulgarities.

    Further, (in my opinion) the suggestion that saying, for example, "fuck that," is comparable to shitting out of one's mouth, well that's straight-up bullshit.

    No, the geeks at /. are in love with Woz's Apple, everyone else is in love with Steve's Apple.

    That sounds dirty.

    It is. Having a strong emotional relationship with a corporation represents poor mental hygiene; a fanboi is a person with an untreated case of Stockholm Syndrome.

    What would really surprise me is if they find that an American living in Japan and eating a 'local' diet would not acquire these bacteria.

    Indeed. One may even anticipate expediting the process in a manner comprised of (for example,) Two Japanese Girls / One American Mouth.

  12. Re:Applied skills on Wisconsin DA Threatens Arrests Over Sex Ed · · Score: 1

    How about the benefit of kids not engaging in sex in the first place because they aren't encouraged to because it "safe"?

    I said "a 'good' argument;" the idea that kids need encouragement and/or assurances of safety in order to address their natural hormonal urges is completely ludicrous. If your idea were logically sound, the human race would have died off due to a lack of sex-ed classes.

    I'd love to hear a good argument for the benefit gained by kids engaging in sex not knowing how to use condoms.

    Probably because accelerated-aging hasn't shown electromechanical magnetic disks to be a dependable medium with a predictable lifespan for long-term archival purposes. NIST hasn't published anything about using HDDs as an archival medium, and NARA makes no indication that they use or recommend HDDs for that purpose. However, both organizations have published longevity estimates and storage guidelines for optical media.

    I blame High Fructose Corn syrup consumption.

    I'm sorry but I don't believe that's accurate. I pour HFCS right on my pancakes. The interesting part is that I can cook additional pancakes with the power of the mind that I get from that sweet corny nectar.
