You seem to be confusing "axis" with "orbital plane", near as I can tell.

You're pretty sharp for an immature Pak Protector.

You think we have a pretty good understanding of physics.

ZQ ended up doing depressives, women, and herself a big disservice. Not entirely her fault, perhaps, though it seems she'd be better off getting lots more help for herself before thinking she's anywhere near ready to help anyone else.

No link to obamasweapon.com? You're obviously one of THEM, trying to misdirect us.

BTW, I've just found out the hard way that G-Translate's handwriting recognition for Chinese characters is network dependent. Downloading the Chinese dictionary allows you to translate between English and Pinyin or characters well enough offline, but too bad for you if you don't already know how the character is pronounced. (Sometimes you can make an educated guess, but not always.) I suppose it would be a bit much to expect them to tell you "The functionality that really makes us useful can't be accessed in the country where you'd be most likely to need it", though.

Thanks heaps for that teeny tiny omission.

I can still visit my neighbourhood McDonald's and get reasonably good coffee, free wifi, and my daily dose of S1E.

Chunjie kuaile! Happy Chinese New Year!

You should be ashamed of yourself. No, really.

I've been running Linux on laptops without much trouble for about 10 years. Mostly Acers. I didn't realise that made me an outlier.

I really don't see what all the fuss is about--Poettering has merely done for Linux what Monty Widenius did for relational databases. And we all agree that was a good thing, right?

Sweatshop? Dante had the right idea. Ultima Thule, baby--that's the genuine article.

Those are things that I do already with a couple of 3-dollar timers from my local hardware store.

Indeed I am.

And I have it installed. While I still can, it seems.

I know two people back in the States who caught polio before the vaccine against it became widely available in the rural areas where they grew up.

Each of these guys has one arm that looks perfectly normal, and one that looks like it quit growing when he was a kid.

You might feel differently, but I'm mighty glad my folks got me vaccinated.

As one of the maintainers of the docs for a commercially-supported Open Source product, I'd like to inform you that this is one of the funniest things I've read all week.
