@tsaukpaetra Ok.

@hardwaregeek Glands sound like balls rather than the end of a dick.
EDIT
an organ in the human or animal body which secretes particular chemical substances for use in the body or for discharge into the surroundings.
Well that seems to describe a penis correctly. So yeh I suppose it is right.

Yes, as already defined above.
Welcome to the party?
-
@tsaukpaetra said in In other news today...:
that was neither asked for, expected, or wanted.
ISTM that describes most of TDWTF.

@lucas1 said in In other news today...:
@tsaukpaetra I thought the whole euphemism was that it was like Big Ben's swinging bell i.e. like the head of a dick.
Apparently? Can we be done with this derailment now? Already upthread it was explained and I don't know what you're trying to do now...
I would say we're just talking bollocks now, but that's still unclear

Glands
Where'd the 'd' come from? That wasn't in the definition...

Not "glands," "glans." It is the part commonly known as the "head."
Filed under: Dictionaries are good.

@hardwaregeek Thanks for the correction.

Somewhat more newsworthy than @lucas1 writing working code (though perhaps less surprising):
To shore-side witnesses, it first looked like just another cruise ship docking at Port Coxen Hole on the Honduran island of Roatan.

Trying to get back to more or less newsworthy topics:

You corrected me after mis-reading something and you mis-read what I said. LOL
-
@lucas1 I didn't misread you; I insulted you. Major refactoring, not green-field. Not newsworthy, either way.
-
@hardwaregeek Yes you did. I already said I was surprised by it working first time after a major refactoring (btw this was when I was in debug mode in VS, as I believed the initial few run throughs were a fluke). You can't insult someone when they have self deprecated (twice).
Also it was a bit of a joke to put it in here, because I was self deprecating.

Ah, and let us count the very vast number of people writhing in uncontrollable laughter as a result, now, shall we? Oh, I see that it's only you. By yourself. Laughing at your own joke.
Now there is something at least moderately amusing.

@magus said in In other news today...:

Laughing uncontrollably makes it rather difficult to write.
-
@magus I did laugh at my own joke. Just because I find something funny that I have said, doesn't mean it wasn't a joke.
It was an attempt at humour. The attempt is good enough to consider it a joke, whether it is good or bad is up-to the listener.

I was amused by the joke. Not so much that I lost control or anything, but I think we all can identify with the sentiment he expressed. I'm usually shocked when something works the first time. (That's what she said!)
-
@hardwaregeek Was the captain watching "Speed 2"?

Sure, but until the Times, or the BBC, or at least the local fish wrapper write about it, it isn't news.
-
@hardwaregeek I might take that fucking challenge up. Most Journos have fuck all idea what a coder is talking about.

@boner said in In other news today...:
whaaat? So if I have a minor software issue with my product and I take it to some guy who knows computers and it comes back in three pieces, the warranty is still valid?
-
@pie_flavor They mean a battery. A replacement battery is normal for most phones / laptops.

We all knew this kind of thing was going on. Now the press has figured it out too:
Next step, to try my "rotation of the earth defense", in which I claim that my car, ticketed for speeding in a westerly direction, was moving slower than stationary objects at the side of the road.

Google to the rescue !
I can beat that for Americans:
There is a residential area in stockholm named "Pungpinan" which translates to "Pain in the balls" ... Just one example of the glorious naming capabilities of swedes of old.

Ah, how typical:
Donald Schulz told WWL that he has been issued speeding citations 10 or 11 times while his car remained parked. The camera, which is designed to ticket speeders, captured Schulz's license plate, instead of the car passing by Schulz's car.
"Whoever is responsible for reviewing these violations is not doing their job," Schulz told WWL.
City officials told WWL that a contractor is to blame, and that the contractor will train its employee how to properly issue citations.

No, voiding the warranty because someone actually broke it is different from voiding the warranty because you chose to have it serviced by someone who doesn't charge
$OEM
's extortionate prices for repair.

In this case, "pretty incredible" seems to mean "just like the old version, only shitty"

@dkf Microsoft is the best at software
the company released an incomplete patch this month—almost 18 months after receiving the responsible disclosure report.

Why do they have a separate product, Inbox, that's a version of Gmail that doesn't suck, and instead of fixing the bits that are still broken and moving everyone over to Inbox, they instead redesign Gmail so that it sucks slightly less?
-
@pie_flavor Gmail is better for some things than inbox and vice versa.
I would rather Google just make them different mail views rather than different "products".
-
@lucas1 There's only three things I can think of that you might be talking about; HTML-only view, the ability to use non-Google email accounts in the mobile app and the ability to search for categories. Other than that I have no idea how Gmail could be better than Inbox, enlighten me.
-
@pie_flavor think again.

Three in one shot? Nice.
I wondered about that, so I read the article... the teacher fired a shot into the ceiling and the students were injured (two only very minorly) by falling debris.

I wonder if they think people who eat spicy food hate their tongue?
Sounds about right to me.

Jesus, they just had to write the headline like that. I hate the media.
