Or, the great grandmother of all compiler errors.

I can use = instead of == in an expression and that's valid?

How do you model one system onto another completely incompatible one?

I don't know. I'll have a go at figuring it out after I've taken this pen and paper business process and automated it on my PC.

How could anyone have granted those patents?

Which can be paraphrased as "What the internet already does."

Technically he's right.

But you can produce as much CO2 if not more, by sitting around talking bullshit all day long.

And lets face it, there's a lot more of that going on than cycling.

Re: how much use would you or I get from that?

Probably about the same amount of use as the Apollo program. In other words... A lot.

Re: It's never embarrassing to fix a problem.

We all make mistakes. It's embarrassing not to learn from them. There's nothing embarrassing about fixing them.

Re: Security isn't a dirty word

Darling: So you see, Blackadder, Field Marshal Haig is most anxious to eliminate all these German spies.

Melchett: Filthy Hun weasels fighting their dirty underhand war!

Darling: And, fortunately, one of *our* spies--

Melchett: Splendid fellows, brave heroes, risking life and limb for Blighty!

Why not Zoidberg?

Yeah, you're going to need to replace all that with Rat 5.

Re: ""Rats don't have a sense of self"

Are they sure that rats don't have a sense of self?

My rats apparently seem to have a sense of self. Which I can demonstrate with two rats, a mirror and a banana chip.

Of course everything is now square. It's the only geometric shape that's still in the public domain.

I love that show! It's so refreshing to watch something that treats it's audience like adults.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I can't believe that Maz Technologies filed those patents with a straight face.

Re: This article reads remarkably like...

I've never understood why I should be worried about the bacteria in my toilet bowl.

The boffins did not say whether the lost continent was that of Atlantis, Mu or Lemuria.

Because that would have been very silly.

Re: This is worth a patent?

No.

It's just a flexible display glued to a bistable spring. It's hardly innovative. It's almost the definition of "obvious".

It's just a penis.

Half the population has one.

Re: Where do you get all the software from?

Either open source, or I download developer editions of software from my MSDN account.

BTW, I do actually have a home lab, but that's for my personal use. Not my employers.

Because it's currently geared up to construct an army of robotic super soldiers.

I don't work for free.

And learning new skills to benefit the company that employs me *is* work.

So I'll be doing my training during work hours thankyouverymuch.

Preferably within my lifetime.
