letsgo,

Oops I thought you were going to be ragging on an early jazz genre.

letsgo,

You think rubbing sticks starts a fire, but in reality it’s the worms that start the fire with their Annelid Magick.

letsgo,

Yeah but when you’re young and stupid you have this idea that some slightly less young people are “old”. I remember when I was young and stupid thinking someone who was 18 was “old”.

The thing to look forward to is when these kids’ music starts getting played on “golden oldies” radio channels.

letsgo,

USB beats HDMI hands down. Ever heard of HDMI Superposition? No, me neither.

(I just DuckDuckWent it to be sure.)

letsgo,

It’s likely seen the image before. Try randomising the image, reversing some of them, altering the gamma, and adding some noise. See how it does then.

letsgo,

For simple tasks you don’t need CLI. Most GUIs implement basic workflows and do a reasonable job at it (obviously not counting the ridiculous amount of time Windows needs to “compute space requirements” while deleting an empty directory. Seems it’s more important to get that little popup on screen and run the animation a few times than actually doing the job).

It’s when you get past the basics that CLI comes into its own. Those grindy things you do in Windows clicking one thing at a time? Glue a couple of commands together in the CLI and it’s done in a tiny fraction of the time.

Well in theory it makes you more mobile (if you want/need to move for some reason): just give your landlord notice and move out. Whereas selling can take an indefinite amount of time.

Do they have to be antipodal? If we imagine a clock face overlaid over an image of the earth, if a meteorite strikes vertically (i.e. parallel to the 12-6 line) at 11, could it result in a bulge at 7?

Not sure if you read your history book (the Bible), but he brought seven pairs of clean animals and birds (Gen 7:2-3).

letsgo,

They’ve been doing this for literally centuries.

I think it started out with a rare case of honest advertising. So for example 720K floppies were advertised as 720K. But then some lying bastard clever marketer decided to start advertising their 720K floppies as 1MB floppies, sometimes but not always marked “unformatted capacity”.

And of course this had the desired effect of making people buy their disks instead of the honestly marketed ones, because people didn’t read the small print and thought they were getting more storage, which was important before CDs were a thing and software distributions were starting to need multiple disks. So everyone had to start doing it.

This is as far back as my memory of the practice goes, so it may have started before 720K floppies were mainstream, but that’s why disk manufacturers now advertise the unformatted capacity of their drives instead of the formatted, aka usable, capacity.

letsgo,

For centuries. Justification: Jesus was dead for three days: from Friday afternoon (3pm?), day 1, through Saturday, day 2, and into Sunday early morning (6am?), day 3. Total elapsed time 39 hours. Digital computers were around last century (19xx) and this century (20xx), which is two centuries by the same logic. Also two millenia, but I find “centuries” a more satisfying word. Colossus went into operation in 1943, so that’s 80 years elapsed time.

Cra–er is a racist term; it’s the white equivalent of ni–er.

Or, when it looks like you no longer have a choice, click Back and you will then be given that choice.

Redde Caesari quae sunt Caesaris.

letsgo,

Caaesar ad sum iam forte. Brutus adarat. Caesar sic in omnibus. Brutus sic in at.

letsgo,

Ideally it should be one of those irregular language thingies: someone who suffers from aibohphobia must be cibohphobic.

letsgo,

Only if they don’t claim they’re an expert.

letsgo,

Don’t know. I haven’t found them yet.

letsgo,

Don’t Fuck With Paste - for all those stupid websites that think pasting my email address from my clipboard extender (Ditto-cp) is somehow unreliable.

letsgo,

Or 7/22 if you’re American

letsgo,

It’s jumps, not jumped, otherwise there’s no S.

And I also prefer the sphinx one.

letsgo,

Was that the one where the Arabs sided with the Nazis, and lost control of the land when they lost the war?

letsgo,

Species 8472 has three legs. Three is an odd number. Four would be an odd number of legs for a member of Species 8472 to have. Three plus four is seven, which is odd (2x3+1). Two odd numbers can therefore add to an odd number.
