Remember Moab

Pretty sure it's just sarcasm.

You think that's cynical? I must be some avatar curmudgeonliness then. I'm pretty sure that what's actually going on is that everything we think of as a 'profession' is that way, a…

Yeah, a solution in search of a problem.

If he's the "creator" of record, then he can give away characters, setting, plots &c. The words and concepts, as you suggest. So derivative works based on the concepts would be kos…

I think he's pointing out that an anticompetitive cabal already exists , so assuming it would continue to follow anticompetitive practices is not a leap of any kind.

It really isn't. As long as you can watch YouTube and maintain the confidence to ruin some material while you're learning, it isn't difficult to pick up. And once I tell that to wh…

Thank you for saying it. Bed bugs can go literally three years without eating. Using the mixed-toxin (different bedbug poison for each treatment, minimum 2 treatments) approach usu…

I've done that (maybe it was fizzbuzz, now that I'm thinking about it) and boy howdy does that get the people you're interviewing with agitated. Saying "I'm interviewing for a arch…

Lots of examples. 'Thorsons Introductory Guide to Medical Herbalism' is, for example, both required reading for many modern medical degrees and a collection of hundreds (of documen…

I'm in complete agreement with you. At this point, I also endorse threats of flogging for someone who tries to introduce a new framework to a project after the actual work has star…

I can't tell you how many snappy, easy-to-use React sites I've used (I was busy using them, not reviewing their code), but every single time I've said "What the hell is going on, I…

By any reasonable metric, I would say so.

Dingding Exactly!

So you're not great at the whole reading-comprehension, are you? From, as they say, TFA >For now, I want a fast, accurate, and stable version for RedHat-based Linux distributions. …

I thought I had read something about this, and behold: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-centos/

Big yawn. Imagine suggesting that the hundreds -that we know about- of folks killed while just trying to live their damn lives constitute "a terrorist state" If I was that bad at b…

Yes. And "democrat" != "actually liberal". The guy in the white house, sending Israel billions of dollars in aid while the Israeli government massacres civilians is a democrat, for…

I'm not too worried about alcohol poisoning RE: home stills. It's people who don't toss the heads and tails that have a bad time: methanol poisoning sucks, and is the cause of most…

Heh. "I'm just doing my job" worked great as a defense at the Hague.

Agreed. All my vet friends get pretty worked up about this topic, particularly the lack of oversight. Even if you're in an active war zone, if you raise your weapon (even if the pe…

No. That is incorrect. Even fully automatic long-guns (think AK47, AR-15 with a full-auto mod) can be owned legally after paying for the license with the ATF.

Automated underwriting is a computer program that takes your vital statistics as input (age, income, probably some illegal things like race and physical location of the house you'r…

>18 and 19 year olds are in commas Oh no, not commas! What other punctuation related illnesses hover over our head, waiting to descend when the clouds of vape smoke clear?

I'm just tickled pink that it actually worked. It made my workday.
