What the hell? I thought it was bad enough that they had an "S" in the name so that someone who lisps cannot accurately name their own condtion. Now, I discover a whole new condition for people who struggle to say the letter "R" (in English at least) and what do they put in the name!?

Hilarous, they're running a pilot program to see if we can do without pilots.

This has just recently been fixed again. You can now type natural language again.

"and to prevent visa overstays" Huh? You want to detain people for visa overstays as they're trying to leave the country? How does that help?

"Balkan and Kalbag form one small part of a fragmented rebellion" How odd that someone named Balkan would form part of a fragmented solution.

I have been implementing SAP for the past 20 years. (Look at my handle.) I can count on one hand the number of bad implementations that we have encountered. The vast majority of them have been highly successful. I know this because I have supplied post go-live support at a number of these installations and on a couple of occasions even came back a few years later to implement more features.All of these customers have been very happy with SAP. (Including the people that work on it day-to-day. )

Wouldn't STAMP be a portmanteau of story amp?

I work with SAP on a daily basis (hence my nickname) and there are some updates that will break stuff. Luckily this is preventable by pushing the update into your DEV system and then onwards into the QAS system prior to slamming it into PROD. There are some cowboys out there that will slam an SAP hotpack straight into PROD but if you're dealing with one of those guys you have bigger problems anyway.

Simple. The original article on the "Exceptionally Magic" drive told him on which day to come back to /. and what to post. It's actually an easier exercise than figuring out the EMDrive. All you need to do is count the number of days between dupes and you know which day to come back and post again.

The phrase "if *and* when" really grates my nerves. Especially when we've just had an article on Boolean logic come through recently. It's one or the other people. It cannot be both. One indicates a conditionality and the other indicates a certainty.

In their defense it would be pretty hard typing anything on a computer using a ten foot pole...

Whoa! Are you saying in the next US election we're going to get people that are pro-U.S. on the ballot? Nice.

In Germany it's considered better to put your indicator on while you're in the fast lane to indicate to the person in front of you that you want to pass them. Flashing your lights is considered rude.

What could the terrorists (as if it's even remotely about them anymore) glean from the exact numbers that they couldn't deduce from rounded numbers? I.e. what state secret goes out the window if we knew 1024 NSLs were sent to Google rather than 1000-2000? This is what bugs me the most about petty pointless crap like this. They graciously are "allowing" us to know the rough numbers but give no justification for the added secrecy.
