Wanted: Software engineers with big tits.

That's obvious, but it still doesn't clarify whatever point it was you were trying to make.

He punched a colleague. He got sacked. Seems pretty reasonable. But it's also pretty much the ultimate sanction the BBC can impose on him, so I'm really not sure what you're trying to say by comparing it with a much worse hypothetical assault which would still have resulted in him getting sacked, albeit with perhaps a little more alacrity.

Sounds like my ex-wife. Badoom.

Works on many levels.

Would it kill you to explain even vaguely what this thing does in the summary?

There's nothing mandatory about the licence fee. You're free to stop watching live TV at any time.

Well, yes, he'd have still got sacked, if that's what you're saying about it not making any difference.

But are you implying that verbally and physically assaulting a colleague aren't grounds enough for dismissal?

Only on some airlines. Others allow one in the cockpit for the "minimum time necessary" (paraphrase of what I read on BBC News earlier).

Up next, the four limbs you can live without.

I can't wait to see them Godzilla.

General Convolution?
Genetic Construction?
Genital Convulsion?

It's not a "goes against what you'd expect" surprise, but if you had never thought about it before, it could well be a mild surprise.

That's what a discovery is - to see something for the first time.

Just because this seems obvious in hindsight, that doesn't mean it's not interesting or useful that it has been shown scientifically to be true.

That is pretty much what the article suggests. Concatenating string involves creating objects, blah blah blah...

I doubt you'd see the same "9000 times slower!" kind of results with standard C strings.

Unless Uber achieve actual, literal, world domination, using Uber will always be opt-in.

Doh. I made mine six feet wide. No wonder it didn't work!

Aliens only featured in a minority of episodes*, and they were never the best ones. Episodes, I mean, not aliens.

*yeah, I'm guessing, but I think I'm right.
