If that's what coffee did, you'd have a point.

Remember, hyperbole isn't actually true, so it's a bad idea to use it when discussing a factual matter. Save it for subjective analysis.

The media makes it sound that way because sometimes when they say "coffee" they mean coffee, but other times the study was actually on "caffeinated beverages" and were mostly about sugardrink. But the media will still say "coffee." Because an incorrect implication will produce more interest and engagement than a concise, accurate statement.

Have you considered... perhaps his username checks out, and it's just that simple?

In the decades you've been reading his comments, did he ever say anything well considered?

Yeah, but the one at the Reagan Library was in service until 2001 and was given to the library after it was retired at the end of it's normal life, ie, when it became a historical item rather than an operational airplane. It was never the Reagan family car.

He can say it but that doesn't make it true. Surely this would be a known thing by now.

He can't personally sign a receipt "The Unites States of America" and have the ownership suddenly be transferred. Even if he orders the Air Force to give it to him, it doesn't mean the people he's giving the order to have a legal right to transfer the Air Force's ownership of property.

Hey Dingus, the SCOTUS isn't going to contact a lower judge and tell them in advance how to rule, it doesn't work that way.

They would risk their life appointment by doing that, as they only serve in periods of "good behavior."

Historically in the US almost all bribes given to judges are related to criminal cases involving organized crime, where it isn't the money given that is persuasive, but rather the implied threat to their life if they don't accept the bribe.

Nothing like that is going to happen here.

The most likely outcome is a Preliminary Injunction, and further hearings in the spring if the deal didn't already self-destruct by then. Companies often prevail eventually in these processes, but not without going through the process. Deals with a self-destruct timer are often expected to fail by the people who installed that self-destruct. If you're looking so hard for corruption, that's the part of the process where you're most likely to find it.

You comment is crazy, like... you're upset that you didn't feel comfortable sniffing their farts anymore... because insulting everything and everybody turned out to include you. And your snowflake melted.

It's kinda sad that even after all these years they haven't learned the basics of writing comedy.

At this point they qualify for "Golden" discounts and they still think, "Heh heh, you said poo" is the funniest thing in the world. And when they try to go beyond that, they don't even try to use implication so that the joke forms in the reader's mind. The end result is just, "haha, you suck, I'm so funny for thinking that." Where's the joke?

If only the ebil witches weren't so pwowerful, you'd be smart and handsome and living your best life!

Even if witches were real... fark is your lost utopia that the other side destroyed?!? Even in this Age of Stupid, that's... surprising. And more than a little pathetic.

The idea that you have to be relevant to point out that something else is irrelevant is merely an elitist attack. The claim isn't that they're not 1337 enough, the claim is that since they're irrelevant, they don't need to be saved by charity.

If slashdot was begging most slashdotters would make the exact same point.

It's funny and interesting that it's still here, but perhaps that doesn't make it a thing of value.

Not an attack on C, but if you don't know what the compiler is going to do with your code you should have used another language.

The problem is that the areas where the evangelists want Rust to save the world, like in the linux kernel, you're usually going to be doing that. It's a mirage.
Most of the time when you can have all the protections, why are you even trying to use a compiled language? Maybe it should be written in Ruby or Python, or something.

That's why you posted anonymous and didn't say anything, because... know shit? Jack shit, maybe.

You not only didn't manage to make a point, you didn't even succeed at claiming something was wrong, because you didn't know enough about the subject to even point to which part you wanted to argue about.

And you were replying to a weak argument, so it should have been a softball.

While true, most Rust evangelists aren't programming in either language.

Whenever a judge says something it is a ruling. Preliminary injunctions are rulings.

Perhaps you're confusing it with a finding, or a "final ruling."

PIC is often the cheapest at volume so gets used a lot. These days you can get a 32 bit ARM on a tiny 6 pin package, so that often gets used instead even for things that would work fine on 8 bit.

Personally I prefer AVR over PIC for 8 bit, because it has a GCC port and fits better into the same toolchains as ARM.

Z80 still exists but it isn't used in very many places. Definitely not popular.
