    Bah... my intent was certainly to be vulgar, and I stand by that. But if it's going to be interpreted as specifically offensive towards women (an implication not present in UK Engl…

    Well it's more sideways, perhaps even caustic, something like that, I'd say, rather than humorous per se. Still... stiff upper lip. Though I can't believe I'm getting downvoted for…

    Right - and in America you're not even allowed to cross the road! To the extent that when a self-driving car runs somebody over, "but but they were in the road " is somehow an adeq…

    If they want to abbreviate "pedestrian", why not "person"? I've never seen anybody use the term "ped" anything other than disparagingly! How should we respond to this attitude? I k…

    Sorry about that, I thought my lead-in was obvious and you were playing the straight man :( Still, I stand by what I said. EDIT: OK, OK, so after snoozing on it for ten minutes, pe…

    Yes, sorry for being unclear. I'm English, so I tend towards the mealy-mouthed. What I'm trying to say is that sushisource is being a cunt for dehumanizing the person that was kill…

    Right, but since the driver has seen there's somebody on foot on the pavement, how come they haven't slowed down already? Perhaps the person could trip and fall into the road. Perh…

    If you can't tell that somebody isn't going to throw themselves under the wheel of your car, you need to drive more slowly, so you've got time to stop when it happens.

    My car has cruise control with brake functionality. Not sure if I've ever seen it actually do it - I only really use cruise control on the motorway, where I expect wind resistance …

    That is not a high-status response ;)

    Yes, your first 2 paragraphs clarify it a bit. Thanks. As for races vs species, that well has been so thoroughly poisoned that I for one refuse to drink from it. But, you know... y…

    Hmm... I have to say the APIs and command line tooling is not where Perforce shines ;) I found the APIs generally a disaster, and rapidly gave up on them. It was much easier to jus…

    When you've got a lot of people, you've got a lot of changes - that's the long and the short of it. This is one thing the check in/check out model (as exemplified by Perforce, amon…

    I don't know how many committers have been on the average project I've worked on, but it's probably 25+, and I've worked on several with 50+ - and I don't know how you'd even make …

    I copied the 6510 illegal opcode behaviour for the SY6502A emulator for my BBC Micro, and I've yet to see a problem from it. If they didn't all have the same PLA, then perhaps the …
