  1. Re:Wow, they really are stuck in the past on Al-Qaeda Calls For the Execution Of Bill Gates and Others To 'Damage the US Economy' (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't see what Al-Qaeda could expect to accomplish by killing him.

    It's more a political thing -- they get a lot of funding from Big Malaria.

    I damned sure didnt see a penny for my study on the gap between girls who study english in a dark room with eleven scorpions and boys who study english in a fumigation tent.

    I don't know why you'd need a special grant to just observe students in the temporary overflow classroom trailers after lunch on chili day.

    God is great!

    And Schwarz's explanation that the acronym GNU stands for 'GNU is Not Unix' drew the following exchange: "The G part stands for GNU?" Alsup asked in disbelief. "Yes," said Schwartz on the stand. "That doesn't make any sense," said the 71-year-old Clinton appointee.

    In follow-up news, Richard M. Stallman was served a subpoena to thoroughly explain the 'recursive' acronym, and additionally, to brief the jury on the facts of the case.

    In an unusual exception, both the prosecution and defense agreed that popcorn would be provided free to the court, both parties, and spectators to the case.

  5. Re: How about replacing the CEO with a machine on Wendy's Plans To Automate 6,000 Restaurants With Self-Service Ordering Kiosks (investors.com) · · Score: 1

    Is that true? I thought that only the proceeds from property sales and funds from employers and financial institutions could be seized for unpaid taxes, and that, through the court system.

    Well, there you go:

    • Get in touch with parent poster
    • Get in touch with your team
    • Charge each of them to put them in touch with the other one
    • Profit!
  7. That's a *HORRIBLE* idea. You start thinking you can write that program, then generalization takes you down the internationalization/localization route, then you learn about character sets, font design considerations for new scripts, the political/international/interplanetary aspects of character encodings, and ... down that way lies madness. I think I need to lie down now.

    We're fuckin' code monkeys.

    Damn straight.

  9. - law officers won't even answer a direct question about "is this legal or no?"

    If they could answer those kinds of questions, wouldn't they have become lawyers instead? Seems like it would pay a lot more and keep them a lot safer.

  10. Re:"Habitable Zone" on Are We Alone In the Universe? Not Likely, According To Math (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    What, then, could an SQ +50 Superbeing possibly have to say to us?

    Or just making them very uncomfortable, I would do that in a heartbeat.

    By which he means in about a quarter, when he has to produce another earnings report. I think he's confused by how an ostensibly human heart is supposed to sound.

  12. TV Reporter: Can you give me an example of one of those?

  13. CERN confirms it... on Weasel Apparently Shuts Down World's Most Powerful Particle Collider (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Furries ruin everything.

    Plus, it's unlikely getting stuck in a particle collider will give you mutant powers.

    Sure, and add some deer for variety. Total cost would be about ... let's see, about 2900 kilometers, pigs, deer, carry the ten ... twenty-nine hundred sows and bucks.

    Sorry, old joke, but I couldn't help myself.

    In that case, maybe Pakistan would benefit more from a pork detection project.

    Only possible conclusion: MS Windows is not fit for purpose for any mission critical use.

    Of course that's the case -- it says that in the EULA. You did have your fancy lawyers read the EULA before you decided to use our software in your medical device, right?

    It sounds like they're trying to make it out like some kind of heroic war story instead of the unmitigated disaster that it was.

    You know, a war game.

  24. Don't worry, I'm sure President Trump will have a clear, workable answer for us by then.
