  1. You can go right to Wikipedia for the definition of a circle jerk.

    Millineals will fix it. That's for certain.

    Yes, the quantitative approach. Just gather lotsa data and churn it around.

    Kuhn is just a starting point for discussion. Which can't and won't happen here, because I'm not at all interested in a conversation with your genitalia.

  4. I own a piece of it. Right at this moment I am sitting in the middle of that piece. I am glad that the Government doesn't own all this junk that I've accumulated, because some busybody would have shown up years ago and loaded a bunch of it into dumpsters and taken it away. And I like my stuff, man... though I do need to get rid of a bunch of it. Based on MY priorities. I don't even live in an area where there is a 'Homeowner's Association'. The antique clawfoot tub out in my backyard may eventually end up installed in my bathroom.

  5. Many, many people would have died after the US abandoned the refugees crowded in the city in Cambodia. No matter who moved into the power vacuum to take control.

    Obviously there are complex geopolitical reasons for the 'genocide' that occurred. ('genocide'? were they not all the same nationality?)

  6. You're one of those guys who tells management they should buy servers with AMD processors in them?

    Ooookay....

    Put enough money back into the system? You mean, like, they are siphoning off revenue from the fares???

    I bet we could pull up a balance sheet and it would easily show there is zero positive revenue from actual paying riders to siphon off. So what is this money to 'put back into the system'??

  8. My drive to work is two miles. The maximum speed limit, for about a third of that distance, is 45 mph.

    The pay isn't the greatest, but it's really fricking worth it.

    Once you start picking and choosing the content on the medium you control, you have asserted editorial control, and you are responsible to edit and control ALL of the content, because you are now liable for all of it. YouTube really badly needs to be hammered for this.

    I have a cat video on YouTube. About ten years ago it seemed like the thing to do.

  11. Why mess around being owned by some unknown outside hacker, when you can be owned by a well known public entity like Apple?

  12. How long do you need to control the machine?

    Can it be just long enough to get the USB key plugged in and the system booted off of it? During that time do you install persistent undetectable malware?

    Can it be done right on the loading dock, or when the hardware is in a shipping container, using a portable UPS to power the system long enough to perform the installation?

    Do you need to 'have root' on the machine for longer than that?

  13. You know who Intel couldn't care less about?

    A bunch of nerds who fret and fester and postulate about their every move.

  14. Neither one of you could ever be an Intel or AMD employee.

    They keep their rabid fanboys outside the company. They're happy with you blustering and bickering out there on the sidewalk. They certainly don't want people with your mindset inside the company fucking things up.

    The New York Times should then move their editorial staff to China. Relocate the whole operation. In today's online globalized world, they should have no problem editing and producing the New York Times from any number of locations in China.

    Get them packing up their belongs into boxes and MOVE EM OUT! They should thrive in China's political culture.

    When they were digging up the Egyptian tombs about a hundred years ago, they found the massive number of mummified cats. They were excavated and turned into fertilizer.

  21. Evil profit-seeking was abandoned in Cambodia, as you will remember from your history of communism class.

    The 'holocaust' in Cambodia was to a significant degree caused by the US bombing program. The US Military 'bombed' Cambodia heavily, while providing aid to civilians in Phnom Penh, the major city. This caused the near entire formerly-rural population of Cambodia to crowd into the city.

    After the US withdrew from Cambodia, the entire population which was cut off from the food and resources the US was shipping into the city.

    Mother Teresa could have been the one in charge, instead of Pol Pot, and about the same scenario would have happened. Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge were fanatical Stalinists, granted, but the only way to save that country at that time was to get the people back out into the countryside growing food, which is what they tried (in their Stalinist fashion) to do.

  22. Yes, when space flight is much cheaper.

    It's not yet determined that 'reusable rockets' will make that happen.

    Remember, the whole plan for the space shuttles involved them being cheap to reuse. They turned out to be extremely expensive to rework and use over and over again.

    Fuck you. I doubt if you've ever taken a course on the Scientific Process. Keep tossing around catch-phrases like 'peer review' if you wish, but please learn more about science.

    Your homework assignment is Kuhn but there's a lot more that has happened since that you need to bone up on as well.

  24. He didn't get his initial fortune by founding PayPal, you say?

  25. You have a deep, rich fantasy life.

    Have you considered writing short stories?

    I bet Amazon would publish a collection of your work.
