That's probably why you've never seen a reason to learn jQuery.

He pretty much called the pope a moron: http://io9.com/5839933/did-gal...

As far as I'm aware he brought many of his troubles more or less on himself due to his unfortunate habit of insulting a medieval absolute monarch.

Yes some people like to exercise their imaginations outside of textbooks that will almost certainly be rewritten by this time next century, depressing stuff indeed. I've even heard that some of the cretins even enjoy such flights of fancy!

The horror.

If Yellowstone goes boom it will almost certainly wipe out most complex life on the planet, and we'll be very fortunate not to count ourselves among the casualties. I'm afraid some balloons just aren't going to cut it.

I'm not sure underground is such a great idea - underwater now, that might be a different story.

Seems a bit like chopping off your foot to fix an ingrown toenail.

By that rationale the CIA has jurisdiction in Beijing.

Jusrisdiction does not mean what you think it means.

GCHQ has no jurisdiction in Ireland. Different country, not part of the UK and all that.

You maggots are like little fat marxist daleks waddling around the place shrieking "deconstruct! deconstruct! deconstruct!" even if you lack the self awareness to know this yourselves.

Tell me, if a woman said "But if a man makes a pass at me or gropes me, I have no problem decking them," would you then respond with "Are you afraid you might like it?"

Not edgy, not cool, and mostly just another gormless attack on male heterosxeuality. The vast majority of dudes aren't gay. Deal with it.

Software patents aren't recognised by the EU as far as I'm aware.

It was pretty clear what you meant and you weren't making a point about farming. This kind of econut proselytising is why people are not inclined to listen to environmentalist activist groups.

Not even showering less. Get the memo, the lifestyles of the citizenry aren't the problem.

One of the most interesting posts I've read here all year.

Sadly that's never going to happen, at least not legally. I can't imagine a legislature or insurance company that would allow people to operate an automated vehicle while inebriated or not in full control of their faculties. You're going to need to be able to take over at any time in case of emergencies or software failures, which means you'll have to keep a constant eye on your surroundings as well.

Not to say it won't happen anyway, but it won't be legal.
