The banks are ultimately to blame for the rise of companies like PayPal. Bank transfers are still batch oriented and stuck in the 1960s, they have no excuse for not providing all t…

Those are practically African colonies.

How much is that in Schrutebucks?

Didn't Futurama already do this, or something close to it?

As a back-end guy, whatever they use that lets me use a clean, well-defined API is fine in my book. They can bloat it up as much as they like as long as I don't have to see a singl…

I bet sewer sludge would be even cheaper, but that practice was banned for a reason. I fail to see how iron oxide is much better.

Judging from the very harsh sentences masters who are caught (let alone brag about) dumping waste overboard, you'd rather think there's a conspiracy in favour of rather than agains…

I guess the American equivalent of "marrying rich" is marrying a chubby chaser.

Funny, but the subtitles are obviously fake.

>Be civil. Defending civility against savagery doesn't count as being civil? >Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. On penalty of beheading? >Avoid grat…

Since those things are already so riddled with DRM, why not simply make the internal builds phone home to an activation server that only allows IPs assigned to Microsoft?

Is he a drug addict, an imbecile, or is it just a speech impediment?

Can't speak for BMW keys, but every VAG key I've had has been horribly flimsy. Don't use it to open bottles or you'll be locked out of your car.

I can understand why the big banks are reluctant to re-write the big systems now that they have painted themselves so far into the corner, but what I don't understand is why they s…

In a sane world wiping liquids off of smooth, hard surfaces would be the same domain whether the material under whatever the wiper is attached to is in the liquid, solid or gaseous…

It didn't make Unix a success, it made Unix a punch-card-and-tape batch processing simulator in the same way the Mac was a paper pushing simulator. What made Unix a success is a gr…

Never been a Windows user or programmer, but like you I've heard they do quite a lot of clever stuff under the hood. Probably a lot of VMS heritage, another system I've never had a…

One of the worst design decisions of Unix to fundamentally separate the source from the binaries. And Debian and those of their ilk had to make it worse with that -dev package nons…

I've noticed that whenever I've been to France. I learned French in school, and I notice there's an age cut-off when I can no longer understand what people are saying. A small cons…

I can't even remember ever being able to seek in a Windows Media file without breaking the entire playback. Never had any problems like that with QuickTime.

I can concur. The Swedes have turned into an absolute disgrace. Constant late-coming, talking and other distracting behaviour. They have become a nation of low moral fibre, pure an…

>dieing Just curious, this is the second time I see this today. Is this a mistake, or is it a regional alternate form from somewhere?

There is nothing new about the technology or the business model. Maybe it's an unusual one for Americans, but for everyone else, it's not.

>My little 5'3" sister running around bossing grown men like it was nothing. There's nothing strange or unusual about that.

Wonder how their system would deal with #SandyLootCrew
