There are 2 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.
10 types perhaps
What about the other 8?

So the true purpose of the Large Hadron Collider is to rectify the situation.
"Yes, I know about the nurse, but who's the doctor?"
"Doctor Nourse"
"He can't be a doctor and a nurse at the same time."
"No, he's the doctor. Doctor Nourse."
"That doesn't make any sense!"
Amazon.ca is now shipping using Intelcom express. My delivery was fine and on time, but lots of people have reported bad experiences with them.
Their shipment tracking page just looks like an email feedback form. I don't think they have an publicly accessible tracking system yet.
I've found that i can right click on a tab to close it when it's been hijacked by models.
Is that the one where one goes down on you while the other steals your wallet? Because I already heard that one.
The critical step to this "unlimited budget via the back door" is to bring the new system up, regardless of how far away from actual completion and stability it is, then immediately shut down the old systems, shred the hard drives and dispose of the hardware, so that no one can ever contemplate returning to the old system as a standby.
That's funny, because it's exactly what they did when they overhauled the Canadian federal employee payroll service (Phoenix). There are now egregious failures with the new system: unpaid employees, overpaid employees and incorrect amounts in year-end income tax documents.
Imagine receiving triple your salary, making sure to keep the extra money aside, because it *will* have to be reimbursed. And to add insult to injury, pay income tax on that huge amount, then fight CRA to have your tax return revised when the correction finally gets applied.
Just by looking at the cheeto-grease smears on the screen

Have you seen Star Trek Continues? [...] The guy who plays Kirk in Continues has it down to perfection, every mannerism, speech pattern, facial expression. [...]
He also does a hilarious Zapp Brannigan cameo, in a recent Futurama live-action fan film.
Unfortunately that $5 wrench can also be used to shatter the memory card into thousand of fine silicon particles. PKI doesn't help protect against that.

>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?
I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.
Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.
What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.
Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.
This is precisely why I lost all interest in Oculus the instant I heard that it had been acquired by Facebook.
