Do your evidence that this was a murder is limited only to something that even crystal healers would consider crack pot?

How much RAM does a time machine require because that seems to be the basic advice here.

I’ve seen this warning on a t-shirt. Not on the label of the t-shirt, the actual design of the t-shirt. Which presumably also constitutes a warning, I bet the lawyers love that one.

According to a friend who’s a lawyer she once had to explain to someone that she can’t sue her landlord because she slipped on a wet floor, since it was her house and therefore her wet floor. The landlord merely owns the house, but didn’t make the floor wet.

It’s like on medication when it says something along the lines of, do not take this medication if you are allergic to this medication or think you might be allergic to this medication.

Good now it’s your fault if you have an allergic reaction.

It reminds me of the time at work that we got a piece of industrial equipment. The manual clearly had been translated from Chinese into English via a Tibetan monk who would never heard either language.

It said things like “ensure when on that the fingers are not found” and “if loud kick immediately and call for help from empowering”. The best bit was the warning at the top that said “DO NOT DANGEROUS”, which was very helpful.

For some reason it also had a biohazard label on the box. It was a laser engraver. Where’s the biohazard?

It makes it sound like some cursed item. Get the SCP on this.

Who are you?

The man is 100% ego, so if you pretended to not know who he is, he’d probably struggle up and die.

Why even have a QA department if they just release the game anyway?

Yes and the examples you provided are so compelling.

Drones don’t pilot themselves humans do it. You’re not going to want to put on board processing on a drone it’s just going to increase the cost to limited tactical benefit. Plus without oversight you couldn’t take the chance it wouldn’t go completely haywire.

I’m not sure how it’s an arms race given the fact that it can’t do anything remotely useful.

The US has absolutely mad road to traffic laws. Zero concept of lane discipline, you driving whatever lane you feel like. Don’t understand roundabouts even though it’s just a curved road, it’s really not that hard. Still don’t have standardised pedestrian crossings even when other countries had them back in the 1920s. A red traffic light only means stop sometimes, but sometimes you can go if you’re turning right. No one obeys the speed limit, people regularly exceed it, and see no problem with that. And of course no one has separate indicator lights and brake lights because when would you ever slow down and go around a corner, definitely no need to engineer for that eventuality.

Yeah the sentence should really be rewritten as “to capture knowledge already accessible on the internet, and repackage it into an utterly pointless hallucinating RAM guzzling money pit”

I’m colour blind so there’s basically only three colours on this graph but what I’m assuming is showing is that windows is decreasing in popularity and apparently so is OS X. I’m assuming the other colour is Linux or Chrome but no idea which is which.

For future reference, when making graphs make them in black and white first and if they are visually distinct then you can add whatever colours you want.

Given that it’s the engine Egyptians, they’ll be cat videos.

Well they are competing with Minecraft.

I watched the gameplay trailer when it came out and I can’t say it was particularly invigorating. It was mostly endlessly slash at zombies then endlessly slash skeletons.

Doesn’t exactly scream deep combat mechanics.

Let’s go back to bartering, 1 egg = 256kb of RAM

For an ostrich egg you can get RGB too

It’s the only way to get a pay rise. You have to work with the idiots or they don’t give you any money.

The problem is the people in charge are not the people that should be in charge. I suppose it’s my fault for not getting an MBA.
