Funny, I thought the initial complaints were about how some gaming journalists were inserting themselves into some feminists.

You must be fucking joking.

"Gaming journalism" is corrupt and has always been corrupt, but it's not corrupted by the chance of sex with indy game designers, it's corrupted by huge wads of wonga from EA games. (entre autres).

I don't know where you got those numbers, but they're wrong.

The real answer is: (From The Laws of The Game - Law 1 - the field of play)

Dimensions

The length of the touch line must be greater than the length of the goal line.

Length (touch line):
* minimum 90 m (100 yds)
* maximum 120 m (130 yds)

Width (goal line):
* minimum 45 m (50 yds)
* maximum 90 m (100 yds)

Or, for international matches:

Length:
minimum 100 m (110 yds)
maximum 110 m (120 yds)

Width:
minimum 64 m (70 yds)
maximum 75 m (80 yds)

Weird enough for you?

At small scales like that, obviously 10 is faster than 10,000.

But Ireland is a country of 6.3 million, not 300,000 people.

Ok, we'll just leave your bizarre suggestion that countries are like boats unexamined.

But it's silly to boast about the size of your country when it's the 4th largest in the world.

I mean - "yee haa, wer'e not even getting the bronze medal!" - what kind of boast is that?

Now that is weird.

What does the size of the country have to do with it?

Who cares. How long is a soccer pitch?

Yup, David Cameron is Barbie.

Go ESA!

(Budget 150 million EUR, a bit more expensive than MOM).

Uh, $83 million 1964 dollars is $636 million 2014 dollars.

MOM is way cheaper than Mariner 4.

As one would expect. (Wanna buy a computer in 1964?)

Oh:

EC2 doesn't do migration.

Low-life.

Just migrate the instance to a host running the fixed version of Xen, reboot the host with the broken version when it's empty.

There's something after 4.3?

Mine do.

Bwahahaha!
