I haven't heard of a plane that has crashed twice, usually once will do the job.
I see that you have never flown American Airlines.
Ceci n'est pas un password.
Ceci est une sword?
How can none of these responses start off with, "Yo dawg, I herd you like password managers, so..."?
The usual reason. You weren't looking hard enough.
From an interview with a Google Lexus 9000:
"How would you account for this discrepancy between you and the twin 9000?"
"Well, I don’t think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error."
"There has never been any instance at all of a computer error occurring in the 9000 series, has there?"
"None whatsoever, Frank. The 9000 series has a perfect operational record."
Because there are times when you need to send a message but you can not be talking aloud.
"Open browser."
*ding*
"Go to..."
"Enter address please."
"DOUBLEYOU DOUBLEYOU DOUBLEYOU DOT PEE OH ARE ENN..."
Now, what's a hyperbola?
It's something that people on the other end of that U-curve of math knowledge from you all know about.
It wouldn't matter what criminal charges I was facing, I would be boldly laughing in the face of this moron who feels the need to go all "sci-fi" while at work, as if the Star Trek embellishments somehow helped here.
Are you suggesting that a court which listened to Prenda's John Steele and Paul Hansmeier, operating under the name 'Lightspeed Media Corporation', argue that Court ordered sanctions don't apply to them because they don't feel like paying, is still somehow dignified and above making references to something as banal as Skiffy? That a defendant who is considered an embarrassment to the entire legal profession cannot ever be subjected to ridicule?
More to the point, did you know that Prendateer John Steel already tried calling a district judge a moron and laughing in his face in his own courtroom, with predictable results.
If anybody has offended the dignity of the courts and running up the bill for the State of California before running off without paying, it was John Steele, Paul Hansmeier and Mark Lutz.
Perhaps after you have spent six years in law school, nine years in the Marine Corps, served as a county sheriff for eleven years and then put in twenty-five years as a practising lawyer before being appointed to sit in county and state courts, you too will be able to write legal decisions any way you like. Until then, there's always complaining on the Internet.
Actually, the most fun I've seen in parallels to LOTR is not in science, but in Shakespeare.
You may want to read Norse mythology some time.
Parts of it may seem strangely familiar.
I wish we could find a way to make the honeymoon last forever. Maybe a way to identify and blacklist bad actors before they can create damage.
That sounds like a perfect plan. And I'm sure that the identifying and blacklisting of bad actors would be awesome during the "honeymoon" period when it is introduced. Enthusiastic participants will make it a great alternative.
And then, once it gets popular, the assholes will show up...
To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.
