I thought "Jacques' kit" must be a reference to Monsieur Cousteau, but I couldn't see how "aqua-lung" could be seven letters. 
EDIT:
Aha!
- "Less than" ⇒ "sub";
- "Indefinite" ⇒ "a" (an indefinite example of)
- "Capacity" ⇒ "qua[^]" (in the capacity of)
Very devious, and no mention of alcohol.

Yay! But I still have to do it again Monday.
Wonder if I can reuse an old clue?

Occasionally I manage to post a useful answer in QA, and someone upvotes it and adds a reply comment indicating they have +5'ed it. Sometimes I reply "thanks", and sometimes I don't bother; no real reason, just how the mood takes me at that moment. If I get upvoted in the other forums I rarely see such a comment (unless I have solved a really difficult problem*), so there is no one to reply to. Am I considered rude if I don't respond in QA, or is it a given that we are all grateful for any positive votes?
*which does not happen often.

In QA, you are considered rude if you respond to "Thank you" with "You're welcome" and don't provide additional codeZ...

Considering how rude some people are over in QA, not saying something derogatory is considered the hight of good manners.

That's really a matter of moods. When I'm in the mood for a discussion, for example, it's really rude when everybody agrees with me or just gives me upvotes.

Sorry, was this a five minute argument, or the full half-hour?

I usually reply only to such comments when it's not only a "My 5". While it would be polite to answer, it is not related to the technical aspect and therefore of less interest for others. So I hope that such posters don't think we are rude.
For me such post are just a way to tell me who likes my answer.

Oh, that reminds me - you neither thanked nor upvoted me for yesterday's birthday wishes.
You have just been Sharapova'd.

Here you get an upvote for complaining that you did not get an upvote on wishing someone's bithday

+5!
Now would you please say "Thank you" so that I can say "You are welcome"? 
I ain't got no signature.

I have no idea of protocol either - my situation wasn't in QA, was on articles.
Once got down voted for posting a comment on an older article which helped me with a problem I had. I only wrote it because I voted 5 on the article to reflect the assistance I got from it.
I mean it's not as if reputation means too much to me - it was just a few points, I don't really care. I just found myself thinking about what have I done wrong in this case.

I don't think your rude if you don't reply to a "thank you." Like you, I say "thanks" just when the "spirit moves me."
cheers, Bill

Have heard today's kids telling "I am not a nerd".
Two questions: (from your personal experience, and not from Internet resources, please):
1. When kids use this term, what exactly would they mean?
2. Is it so bad to be termed a nerd?
Had never heard this term as a kid; I'm nearing 50.

Nerd or geek, who gives a fluff. Just don't go be getting yourself labelled a dweeb.

1. Whatever is 'current' in their social sphere. Could be clever, too clever by half, swot, teacher's pet, idiot ...
2. Depends what they mean by the term.

Depends on the kid. I didn't mind it.

Geeks are now considered to be cool. I am not sure about nerds, or the difference.
A friend of the our family asked me to create a Minecraft Server for her son using his name; "Jacob's Minecraft Server". He was in primary school (10 year old) at the time and the server made his popularity rise.

Just look at the people who try to make fun of those nerds. Most of them are dumb enough that one could easily imagine them sitting on top of a tree with a banana in their hands. Ask the 'nerds' (which no doubt are present here) and they will tell you that they would never trade their intelligence against the 'normal' life of the other primates.

I know a person who has a user name as "nerdy(Her Name)"
So I don't think that people mind being called as Nerd!
