When I was a lad, living in a paper bag at the side of the road, this was the real deal concerning Giant Robots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

. . . in the US, this was aired on UHF TV stations as: Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot.

Greeks banks will run out of money next week. The positive side of this, is that there will be no more queues in front of banks, because if there is no more money in the bank, there is no point in queuing in front of it.

How would the algorithm rate that comment . . . ?

The problem is that the town originally had 120 normal residents. Now, 40 extreme sensitives have moved there, and have started stirring up trouble, like demanding that other residents remove neon lights in stores, etc. The original residents are not enthused with this, and fear that the loonies with drive them out of their own town.

. . . then you can imagine all the "fun" sadistic police would have with these folks and a Taser.

I agree with your comment entirely. I would only like to add that a true C++ Master writes code that a C++ Novice can understand.

Time to get philosophical. Tomorrow, you could get run over by a bus. Take a wander around your Cubical Town. Are there enough folks there who could take over ownership of your code?

You can do some really cool things with C++. But if other folks cannot understand them, well it's best not to do it. Cool C++ features are like nuclear weapons: very powerful, but think about the consequences of using them . . .

Oh, I think you are underestimating the vastness and ubiquity of porn fetishes available on the Internet. There is for sure a Tube devoted to this somewhere on the Internet.

Well, here you go Mr. Putin; here are the tapes that you have been looking for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Since this contains content of a . . . well . . . "confidential" nature . . . you should view this late at night, after your wife has gone to bed.

. . . and don't forget a box of tissues, and some hand cream.

I'm thinking that there is a joke about Andrea Rossi and cold fusion in there, but I can't figure it out now . . .

"Hey, Herr Rossi sucht sein Glück - - - "

The German folks I know call them "Abgeordneten".

That what it seems to be from TFS:

Hey, he wasn't just a mathematician, he was also a computer geek. I used to see him back in the early 80's in the middle of the night in the Princeton computer center, wandering around with a deck of punch cards for the IBM mainframe.

I was playing Frisbee in a field with some friends, and it started to drizzle. Professor Nash walked by, and laid down on a bench under a tree. He folded his hands together, closed his eyes, and looked really placid, but we could see that he was thinking about something.

You know that saying, "A penny for your thoughts?" I would have paid a fortune to know what he was thinking about!

"Spying? There's an app for that!"

But you don't need one . . . we support spying natively!

I've always wondered if the NSA has academics "informally" on their payroll. In East Germany, the secret police, called the Stasi, had loads of folks working "informally" for them.

The NSA would pay (or bribe?) the academics to mislead research with disinformation, and intentionally build in a backdoor.

Of course, one might think that academics would have some sense of integrity. But these days, nothing really surprises me anymore.

That's the spirit!

Some of my comments are modded both Insightful and Troll. Sometime in my lifetime, I hope get a mod Royal Flush:

An Underrated, Overrated, Informative, Insightful, Redundant, Flamebait, Funny, Interesting, Troll.

Did I forget anything . . . ?
