Whatsapp is big in some countries. As in used by practically everyone kind of big.

It has come and gone in Thailand. Somehow everybody switched to Line, seemingly overnight.

How did MST3K handle that?

In a straight-forward way. They paid money. That's one of the reasons they used the movies they did; they were cheap to use.

Yeah, but the more sensible thing I read was that Apple met with Elon Musk to discuss some sort of project that they wanted either his input or help

Maybe so, but the guy he met with is Apple's acquisition guy.

I guess you gotta know what you're doing.

Your faith isn't so much in God as you may think it is. Your faith is actually in those translators, that they did a correct and accurate job.

This is an argument you cannot win. The response is simply "It's accurate because they were guided by the Holy Spirit." In fact, any seemingly clever argument against religion is easily refuted with "because God." Having omnipotence on your side makes arguing for it a piece o' cake. Here's a good recent example. Several times Ham whips out the Because God argument in response to Nye's time consuming and pointless parade of logic and facts.

If it so old it should be an ember by now, or does it still radiate ?

If it didn't radiate they probably wouldn't have noticed it.

I like AOL. It started the internet super-highway after all, and if not for it, we would all be on modems, gets our software by CD, yada-yada-yada.

This is a troll, right?

Shazbot! We ran into some trouble getting the comments. Try again... na-nu, na-nu!

I tried it. The article had that text instead of the comments. Mork and Mindy? Seriously?

I ALWAYS go "below the fold!" With my tongue. That's where the most desirable, uh, "feature" is.

As you get older you'll find you have to be a bit more careful about just which fold you're going below.

We have work to do on four big areas: feature parity (especially for commenting); the overall UI, especially in terms of information density and headline scanning; plain old bugs; and, lastly, the need for a better framework for communicating about the How and the Why of this process.

I don't think the label of "beta" means what Slashdot thinks it means.

Stirring does not mean random distribution. Stirring homogenizes a batch, evening out distribution of mixtures and concentrations of solutions.

You'd think that would be right, but mixing, no matter how long, always leaves clumps. This is a known problem in, for example, paint mixing. You can stir for a year, then get out a microscope. You'll see clumps of pigment.

Hack Reactor claims 99% placement?

I don't see how. Nowhere near 99% of the students taking the class would ever be qualified to work in the field.

there is no really good reason that a tiny, tiny bit of peanut butter in a large meal won't work.

Yes there is. Peanut butter, no matter how well you stir it, will have random clumps of the allergen and people will die. More stirring does not solve the problem. Random does not mean equal distribution. It means random distribution, some of which will be in larger clumps.
