So, what you're saying is, due to the untimely death of Keith Moon, we DID get fooled again?

I'm torn between pointing out that if you'd actually got an education you wouldn't have tried to use a word (tenet) that you've never seen in print and probably don't know the exact meaning of, and just snarkily retorting that choice of programming language leads to wars which are indeed of religious fervor.

Unless, of course, you meant that VB6 lives inside a religion.
Besides, the real war is whether you use vi or emacs to edit your VB6 code.

A couple examples: the slang for rides in NYC is "yellow" for a taxi and "black" for a limo. The limos can pick anyone up but AFAIK can only charge a fixed fee for a given destination. Taxis are metered for time and distance (w/ airport exceptions).

Here in the Boston area, limos are fixed-fee either per hour or per location (airports again), and are barred from being flagged down--they're reservation-only. Taxis can be flagged, but I think they are not allowed to pick *anyone* up if they are outside their designated geographic zone. E.g. pick up in Boston, deliver to Worcester, but not allowed to pick up any ride in Worcester.

So part of the big question is: is Uber a taxi service or a limo service?

Ahhhh, c'mon now: you only have 10 numbers to try. How hot is jenny anyway that you'd give up so easily?

If only the Red Viper had a more punch-resistant face, eh?

ummm... some of us never developed a WHOOOOOOSH detector either, apparently.

(I see what I did there in the title).

If this made sense at all, after a few rounds of Rochambeau v. 2 , we'd all have developed a massive testicular protection layer too.

"One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster... just don't tweet about it OR ELSE"

Doesn't have the same ring to it.

I'm not taking a position on the power-neutrality of these batteries, but would like to point out that one of the real-world problems with all of our electrical power plants is that they are very difficult to load-balance. If we could set up an "on-demand" aluminum re-smelter which operates only when grid-demand for electricity drops, the power plant could be run at a steady level 24/7.

So I guess "I, for one, welcome our star-eating star overlords" is right out?

And to this day I wonder why Homer's inventor-friend didn't just add a couple Zener diodes to his design to handle signal overload conditions.

But would the rock have rounded corners?

Just imagine a Beowulf cluster.... oh, never mind.

On the subject of Beowulf clusters: now that Tolkien's translation is available, do we need a new stupid /. meme?

Just checking in to remind everyone not to use this gadget in the great city of Boston, MA

You got dyslexic there :-)
