  1. Re:No boobies though. on Facebook Lets Beheading Clips Return To Its Site · · Score: 1

    Thank God, because that would be obscene!

    Its the ideal implementation of Sharia law; women must be covered but plenty of enlightening clips of Kaffirs being brutally murdered.

  2. Cost is the key on New York City Considers Articulated Subway Cars · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If it cost the same it would be a no-brainer ... increased capacity for nothing. The key question is does it cost more, and if so is that the optimal way of increasing capacity for the money? If the same money would allow them to run an extra train each hour then that would be the best option.

  3. Re:What a useless article on Redesigned Seats Let Airlines Squeeze In More Passengers · · Score: 1

    There are some pictures here and here. I have to admit it looks like the saving is in the thickness, not squeezing the passenger. I wonder how it copes with the kid who insists on kicking the seat in front!

    Who cares about a good-for-nothing relic from the Dark Ages.

  5. Re:But that's not a company's goal on Should Google Get Aggressive About Monetizing Android? · · Score: 1

    If they don't focus on making money, their shareholders can sue them.

    But in a very real sense they are suing themselves!

  6. This is what BPEL and executable BPMN promise on Has Flow-Based Programming's Time Arrived? · · Score: 1

    This is what BPEL and executable BPMN promise. In practice for the business its "string these together and get a programmer top write a transformation or show you were to obtain a key data element that is missing from the stream" at best, or "try to string these together in an illogical way and complain to the development team that the components don't know what you mean".

  7. Re:Obligatory reason on NSA Director Keith Alexander Is Reportedly Stepping Down · · Score: 1

    No doubt he's stepping down to "spend more time with his family".

    Probably because his wife's e-mail and cell phone records indicate she's having an affair.

    But I sent her those emails in ROT13!

    these papers were covered with words, perhaps in an attempt to discourage people from burning them and thus releasing the carbon.

  18. I honestly can't blame them for making a 'plan B' on China's State Press Calls For 'Building a De-Americanized World' · · Score: 1

    These carryings on in Washington won't themselves lead to the loss of US power. What will though is if this becomes an accepted political tactic. Republicans win the white house and pass a law that the democrats don;t like - they do the same and hold the country to ransom. This could lead to a slow decline and long-term instability of the dollar

  22. Re:Good. on UK Court Orders Two Sisters Must Receive MMR Vaccine · · Score: 1

    I went through a weird stage between the ages of roughly 7 and say, 16 where I was extremely uncomfortable with needles. Then I had to get a lot of blood drawn for some tests, and something just clicked, and I was like "this is no big deal. Sure, its uncomfortable, but its not really scary". It was a good time for it to happen to, because the nurse that was taking my blood was semi-incompitant or something, and had to stab me about 30 times to get a vein.

    I used to hate it. They used to give injections to the class in alphabetical order. First kid in came out clutching his arm saying "oh that's really terrible - the worst I've ever had". The second the same. By the time it got to me I was dreading it. The anticipation was terrible .. I had a knot in my stomach. Of course the injection was hardly anything ... just a slight pin-prick. I kept up the pretence though, clutching my arm and saying how much it hurt for the kits still waiting ....

  24. Re:Too late on BlackBerry Founders May Try To Take Over the Company · · Score: 1

    Android the mid and low end, and - horror of honours it looks as though Blackberry's old corporate market for centrally controlled and secured phones might be going to MicroSoft.

    Did you mean by "corporate market" monstrous devices that barely work, are slow, give all control of the device to faceless corporate drones, and can only read microsoft office documents? Got ya.

    Ignoring the first part (I'm no Microsoft fan but having seen a colleagues W8 phone it works and is of reasonable speed) a device that "gives all control of the device to faceless corporate drones, and can only read microsoft office documents" is exactly what many corporations want. They have no need to read other document types, and rather you didn't install your own apps and possibly compromise security, and if you lose the phone or leave and don't return it they want to remotely wipe it.

    Its not what I'd want in a personal phone - but for a company with people on the rode who need to check secure documents, central calendars, and corporate email there is a market for them.
