That was more or less what I got from some pinhead when I was writing about evolutionary algorithms.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Such utterings, if the pinhead is serious, I don't even dignify with a response!

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

We just had a very nice lunch in an independent cafe. Very good food and all for £25. Lots of chatting and very friendly.
Opposition is a Pret a Manger. I noticed the window seats full of Mac boyz n Galz. I put my head thru the door to be greeted by silence.
Independent and noisy every time for me.

That must've hurt. They probably went silent from the crashing and your screams.

What a guy. Just spent the night drinking with him! I'll update with details on Monday.

You spent the night with Frank and you are going to give us details after the weekend is over? I'm not so sure I want to hear about these details with "Frank".

If this is a set up for a joke you'll be in trouble! I once met Ali - he punched me.

Is there a reputation status where you also see other people's WIP articles? I have a question about one of mine.
I know there is a forum for article writing not really visited by many.

I think I've seen someone else simply posting the link to his WIP-preview to allow others to see it.

Don't care: it's slooooooow ... Record for fastest data rate set[^]
1.25Tb/s
1,250,000,000,000 bits per second.
Think about it for a moment.
I get 320Mb/s between my PC and my NAS, I get 1,550Mb/s from my SSD to my HDD (I suspect write buffering here, the HDD write speed is nothing like that)
I get 40Mb/s from the internet... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Hmmm... that is quite a lot of pr0n.
Life is too shor

I think that says a lot more about your internet connection that it does about mine...

My Internet transfer rate is slower than yours: 30 MB/sec. I can pay $15 a month extra for a 70MB/sec connection, but I refuse to do that. 30MB/sec is good enough for me. I can even stream Netflix movies at that speed.
Whenever I get impatient with download speed, I remind myself of my first "fast" Internet connection: That was when I upgraded from a 9600 Baud modem, to a 56,000 Baud unit. And I thought that that was fast!

I can only reiterate my belief that new users of the Internet should be forced to spend the first year on a 56k dial-up connection like wot we did. It might just make them think about what they really want from it instead of diving into the time-wasting shallow world of social media!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Why not forcing people to live in a cave with fur rags and flintstone? 
NB: I started with a 1200 baud modem

Why not indeed? I'm in favour of anything that rids us of this ghastly, overweening sense of entitlement that plagues us! It's high time that we were all reminded that there is a difference between a privilege and a right! Let them eat dirt!

Arrrrggghh! Nooooooo!
Can you imagine just how much of your bandwidth Windows 10 would steal just for updates?
And just how long to D/L Visual Studio? 3.7GB @ 56Kb s-1 is over a year...so they'd never get it finished...and couldn't ask stupid questions in QA...
You may be on to something here...
