Sexy sexism talk

The disc itself is still floppy, as opposed to the rigid platters common in hard disk drives at the time. It's only the outer carrier that was rigid.
i am quite proud of how many people bit at what i thought was absolutely blatantly obviously trollbait.

WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE FONT ANTIALIASING?
Trying to be consistent with the computers of the floppy disks?

You should also check that tin foil hat. Tin foil has largely been phased out in favor of aluminium foil- Chances are very good that that most people do not actually have tin foil hats.
The question as to why tin foil is being gradually replaced is left as an exercise for the reader.

and eyt it is still coloquially called tin foil.
no pedantry flag for you!

Gold foil is the best, because it improves your ability to distinguish the warmth and richness of the audio in conspiracy theory videos on YouTube.
Oxygen-free copper foil with magneto-aligned nanoparticles is a close second though.

My youngest argued with his math teacher for 15 minutes about whether was "tin foil" or "aluminum foil" in the example problem.
She retired.
He still doesn't like math.

a fine pendant he will be one day,
needs to learn when pendantry is acceptable and when it's irrelevant, but still, i see the spark of greatness in him.
-
I've never really noticed that, I'm sure it looked different when I was connected to it by RDP.
That said, it's an older version of Chrome (36 or something) and maybe it's broken there or it's been disabled at work (seeing as that desktop seems to be locked to Aero off) or something.
-

Always
when it's irrelevant
Never

Literal he is.
To be fair, he wasn't picking a fight, he honestly didn't get it.
"Dude, it could be foil, paper, a rug, anything! It's just l*w = area."
"She said tin foil, but the example said aluminum!!!"OTOH, over the weekend he managed to orbit his own Kerbal Space Creation with only the second example (the Kerbal-5) as inspiration. So his abstraction skills are growing.
To be both Pendant and Free-Thinking, we desire for him.
PS: No, It was his brother who exploded Bill Kerman into the Sun

I know the type. Sounds just like my son. Except the doesn't like math part.

I see your point, and I can't explain the difference, but it's really not in him - he get's really mad/frutstrated and argues, but he's not fighting exactly.
-
fighting <> punching/kicking.
(sometimes there's swords involved.)
-

I know. But the result is that he started a fight. Maybe we could quibble on the use of "picked."

I don't want to pry, and feel free not to answer, but that sounds a bit like how I used to be as a kid (I have mild Asperger's).

Easy enough to not answer, as you didn't actually ask a question. Did you mean to?
-

Not all answers need a question.

mild Asperger's
-high five-
three out of four doctors consulted agreed that i have moderate Aspergers. the fourth said i was healthy and that i didn't need drugs, just needed to pay closer attention to social cues.

Is that intended as a general statement, or as an answer to my question?

Lazy journalists frequently used "the white house" to mean the executive branch. You're not an infant, you know this. Stop being a dumb ass.
Oh, Blakey, this is priceless.
-
But...Did you read my post? I've never seen anything like this in my first hand experience with several parts of the executive branch (going back to Obama's predecessor, even). I even asked for people to provide other examples.
I did contracting in 2004-5 for a military project that required digital signatures. They actually used personal certificates for us civilians--military people would have used their CACs. We kept our signatures on 3.5" floppies, rather than on the hard drives, and I never asked why, but it might have just been a convention. When you got to the point in your workflow where you needed to sign a document, you'd put your disk in the drive and then you'd get something similar to a file open dialog (IIRC it was more like the "select a directory" one) where you'd point to the floppy, and it'd find the signature file and "stamp" the document.

It's a little entertaining seeing how many people @accalia trolled with that line.
Edit: Hanzo'd, of course.

Sometimes, it feels good to be trolled.

i practically told you i was fishing with that post too!
today was a good day.

IIRC the story Blakey's talking about is the one about the people who run the government pension system, that's based out of a cave in Virginia or something. Everything they do is still paper, so when someone retires, a big paper folder that gets built up over their entire career gets sent there and then it takes ages for retirees to get processed and get their pension, or something like that. Unless it's someone who works in that office, in which case they get moved to the head of the line.
-

I thought about replying but then I remembered you know why floppies are called that.
-
I remembered you know why floppies are called that.
i have mentioned that before too.
i was referring to "admitting" i was wearing a tinfoil hat in that post though. ;-)
-
No I was conflating two "the government is way behind" stories. One was about the bunker in Virginia, and another was about different departments having to send reports to some central authority on floppy in manilla envelopes. I can't remember what the reports were, alas.
There's actually another one about how stupid the process for awarding military medals is, it's entirely dependent on people manually sending documents along an email chain and the emails are frequently lost in the process.
Anyway, point is: this woman does indeed have a job to do. It's too bad she lacks enough authority.

That we had a thread on, though I couldn't find it. But that's beyond floppies.

crackpit is just an upscale crackpot.

Yeah, I 100% believe that. I mentioned this here before, but the same place I worked had a similar process with real paper for hires. That's why it takes two weeks to get a computer when they hire you, because nobody does the process in parallel, and nobody can seem to do their part without spending more than a few days. I never know all the steps or how many people were involved, but they lost my paperwork after a week, so we submitted a new batch. I got my second[1] computer two weeks later, and--you guys know this is coming--got my first a week after that, when the person who'd gone on vacation while the paperwork was in her hands and didn't bother to give it to anyone else to process came back, and nobody further along the chain questioned a second set of paperwork, right up to the point where I asked the guy with the computer if that was my second one. I actually predicted that would happen and I was delighted to be right.
[1] Even though I got it first, it was from the second set of paperwork, so it was really a replacement.

My current job is based on automating, among other things, a task that literally involved cutting and pasting (well, taping, but close enough for government work).

>"Body Man."
Misogynist! Is should be Body Person Of Irrelevant Gender
Bullshit, that's clearly misandry: firstly, do you know how demeaning it is to men for there to be a man whose job is basically just glorified secretary? Secondly, “body” man? Men are only valued for their body now? Objectifying!
Men, you really need to wake up before the matriarchy figures out how to obsolete the entire gender.
Filed under: First they came for the floppy disks... And then they came for me!

I've got more body than I should have - that counts for me if I'm valued for it, right?
-
Good point.
-

I remember that one. We talked about it, or at least it was mentioned her, but I'm far too lazy to search for it.

didn't need drugs, just needed to pay closer attention to social cues.
That's generally a good approach up to quite severe autism

Tin foil has largely been phased out in favor of aluminium foil-
This is because only tin is capable of fully blocking the delta-sigmoid theta waves propagated by the
lizard peoplegreysFEMADavid Ickelizard people to further their sinister agenda of world domination. Once it became obvious to them that tin foil wearers were better equipped to resist their programming, a disinformation campaign was run to phase out real tin and replace it with aluminium, while retaining the original name 'tin foil' for reasons of plausible deniability. Even simply attempting to buy a foil of genuine tin these days is likely to result in a visit from theFBImen in blackUSDAelders of Zionlizard people.

closer attention to social cues
I don't have a medical diagnosis, but I'm fairly sure I have a moderate case of Gerry Anderson syndrome.

Pfft, they haven't used tin/aluminum hats since like 1995. http://www.stopabductions.com

http://www.stopabductions.com
That site looks like it was made in 1995.
Construction time for each helmet is four hours.
High quality, then.
The thought screen helmet has effectively stopped several types of aliens from abducting or controlling humans. Only one failure since 1998.
Only [i]one[/i] failure? More information is needed...
