"Peepee"

Some people giggled, therefore it is a joke and complete work of art, and therefore copyrightable. Nobody can use the word "peepee" without express permission of me.

I'm sorry, but "PeepeeTM" has been trademarked by my penis. Any unauthorized use of the word "Peepee" or the color yellow is strictly prohibited.

Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!

When I read that, I laughed so hard I crapped my pants. That's the last time I have a juice cleanse.

Thanks for the explanation. This is not a joke then, just a quip.

A "quip" is a witty remark. This is a banal remark.

That someone owns the copyright to it is a huge black mark on our intellectual property laws.

Here is an example of a quip:

"I was walking down the street and Jehovah came up next to me and stuck his hand in my pocket, trying to steal my iPhone. This is how I know God is on my side. When I caught Him in the act, we had a laugh and decided to go laugh at the people coming out of the health food store after having a juice cleanse, knowing they'll die young, probably from being so gullible."

Because everyone knows that the real eggheads use pipes...

I notice a couple of the guys in that photo are puffing on cigarettes. It's hard to imagine today, but the guys at NASA mission control probably had ashes all over the equipment.

My first job was working in a TV studio, and it was not uncommon for the director and technical director (the guy switching and fading between cameras) to have cigarettes dangling from their lips. (By the way, this was on the Bozo show), and I would regularly see Cookie the Clown having a smoke too.

>I take it you've never heard of Margaret Hamilton or Admiral Grace Hopper who somehow managed to excel in a much more sexist society than we have now because instead of whining about the patriarchy on Twitter or Jezebel, they went and proved themselves better than their male peers. What if a girl entering into STM was only just as good as her male peers? Why does a minority have to out-perform to reach the same results? Don't you think that's unfair, and still biased?

Modern Warfare and Command & Conquer: Red Alert will probably not be approved for sale in China.

I was going to add Sleeping Dogs to the list, but I hold out hope that "Why don't you have a pork bun in your hand?" will someday become as important a cultural touchstone in China as it has become in the West.

Well, at least they didn't make the astronauts wear ties...

Not until they got back on Earth.

The point being that you didn't see anyone from the space program that sent guys to the moon and brought them back alive trying to draw attention to themselves with flashy shirts with scantily clad ladies on them. But back then, the people who were part of the space program didn't think of themselves as special snowflakes.

I care. A dress code sends a message about a company's culture. The stricter the code, the more that company cares about having a professional appearance, and less about professional performance.

Is that why these guys were never able to land people on the moon?

At Facebook, it's memcached, with an HDD backup, eventually put onto tape...

At Google, it's a ramdisk, backed up to SSD/HDD, eventually put onto tape...

For anyone who can't afford half a petabyte of RAM with the commensurate number of computers? I have no good ideas... except maybe RAM cache of SSD, cache of HDD, backed up on tape...

Using something like HDFS to store your data in a Hadoop cluster of file requests, is likely the best F/OSS solution you're going to get for that...

you brought it up simply to cause a flame war though. it has nothing to do with the point being made.

Let me take you through it step by step:

The "point being made" was,

One of the things that caused a lack of sleep for Jefferson was the long line of people at his door (at the original Whitehouse). Most of them wanted jobs or handouts; he didn't mind the ones who actually came to him with policy concerns.

Then again, his government was mostly limited and operating by the rule-of-law, so not too many people felt he ought to be murdered.

And my point was that the "not too many people" who felt he needed to be killed were entirely made up of other privileged white men, completely ignoring the fact that there was a very large group of people who would have been happy to pull the trigger if it meant freedom for themselves and their families.

It's easy to consider yourself safe because of the rule of law when the rule of law makes sure that the significant portion of the population that is being held in slavery has no recourse.

Jefferson and his cohorts were able to sleep well at night because they owned black people who were doing all the hard work and were physically unable to get into that "long line of (white) people at his door" who were looking for jobs and handouts.

Sometimes, a "news story" is so obviously a press release that it's almost embarrassing.

Here's a couple of news stories that hit the wire in the past few days, so you tell me why you think there's suddenly a story about how we're all going to live in a robocar utopia:

http://gizmodo.com/hackers-hav...

http://gizmodo.com/chrysler-re...

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling 1.4 million cars due to a security flaw that leaves the vehicles vulnerable to complete takeovers from hackers.

Yes, over a million popular cars can be commandeered by hackers from thousands of miles away.

This is a response to a Wired investigation demonstrated how hackers can exploit a security hole in the UConnect software installed in many of the company’s popular new models. The software has a flaw can be used to take control over the vehicles, cutting transmission and endangering/scaring the bejeezus out of the people in the car.

People who own those millions of cars won’t all get shiny, new, unhackable versions of their rides. They’ll just get a USB stick. FCA’s recall will give people a software update on a USB that fixes the security hole discovered by researchers.

(emphasis mine)

If his company hadn't been hacked, and their filthy dirty laundry thrown in the street for everyone to see, would he still be talking about their need to find a "path to recovery and morals"?

I wish him nothing but a lifetime of regret and penury.

why you gotta go there??? its off topic

So you think Thomas Jefferson's slaves were all just thrilled about being indentured workers? You don't think that maybe one or two of them might have been a little put out about the whole "I own you and you and your children will work for free for me forever" stuff?

I doubt all of them got the Sally Hemings treatment.

I get that some level of executive security is probably a good thing, but does the Secret Service really need 1,500 people on staff?

The Secret Service protects more than the President. Plus, they're responsible for enforcing counterfeiting laws, which probably keeps them kind of busy, because counterfeiting has to be one of the most tempting crimes of all.

The reason this story highlights Obama is because he's got that pesky problem with his skin color that makes him a target for domestic terrorists like this guy:
