Who's the fat chick he's hitting on, and does she know the kid has a'chronic gastrointestinal disorder" that won't let him out of the house?
Will Rogers never met me.

"12-year-old Max, who suffers from a chronic gastrointestinal condition"
OK, who's gonna be first with the fart jokes?

Poke-yoke[^]
Interesting word. Hard to achieve.

Never heard of it.
And given that it's Japanese and this is an English site, that doesn't surprise me too much...

I hadn't either till new job. Half Asian here. Interesting mix of cultures. But they said make something idiot proof you know poka yoke. I had a very perplexed look on my face.
Anyhoo, idiot proof = poka yoke. Or more exactly baka-yoke.
Actually probably just something new for managers to say now that I think about it.

Yes, please stop repeating before some management group picks up on it and I cannot escape the term. 
Just like:
1. not in my wheel-house
2. got no skin in the game.
3. etcetera and so forth

I never liked the term "low hanging fruit". I find that most non-engineers use these stupid words and phrases, the most.
Just tell me what you need to me to focus on, and bugger off with your low hanging fruit.

Shirley you just prefix it with a lower-case "i".
That applies the very definition of perfection. I know this because apple has been telling me so for years.

So... I guess Pirate Bay isn't very popular here since, well, it's used to download software for free. Software that some of us created and that we want to get paid for.
And next to software of course music, movies, books and pr0n. All copyrighted material that the creators didn't get paid for.
As far as I know downloading that stuff isn't illegal in the Netherlands though.
I still buy software, music, books and movies, but there's just so much stuff (some of it hard to get or even unavailable where I live) that I too downloaded some stuff once in a while.
Sometimes my download lead to an actual purchase. Sometimes I was glad I didn't pay for such garbage. Needless to say, not every download from TPB was a lost sale, but it was always a gain for me.
So it's not only a loss for me, it's a loss for the artists who's music I downloaded, it's a loss for the people who shared their own stuff using TPB and it's just a loss for the world in general.
And I just read they're now targeting another good friend of mine... AdBlock[^].
I guess the popularity of TPB and AdBlock is just the public saying "we've had enough!" and the closing of TPB and possible sueing/closing of AdBlock is the big bosses saying "nope"...
Luckily there's still good, free and completely legal stuff out there!

I personally think that if it wasn't for the Pirate Bay the entertainment industry would never have got off their asses and created services that are actually good value for money, such as Spotify and Netflix.
I also think it's responsible for a much closer release schedule when it comes to TV and movies in different countries (I remember at one point when Lost was on, there was a gap off over a year between it being shown in the US, and then finally shown in the UK).
It's time had passed though, and I'm not sad to see it go, but I do think the way it's founders were hounded was completely OTT (apart from the guy who also hacked into banks and so on).

I've already seen plenty of "you are blocking ads therefore you are a thief" messages.
They can go elephant themselves with a large pine cone.

Every time I see one of those, I write a new adblock rule. Problem solved. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

As an aside a bit, that's the good thing about the Internet with open source. Once it's out there it's out there. You can stop a person / company, but you can't stop the idea. Anyway, if they close down AdBlock I'm sure someone else will make another version.
Oh, and I think most people have downloaded from TPB a time or two, regardless if they admit it. I remember back in my 3D days I "liberated" a copy of 3DS Max from work. I never would've learned Photoshop had I not "borrowed" a copy from the Internet. Eventually, I dumped 3DS Max and went legit with Photoshop, but that was after I learned it and pretty much use it for everything graphics-wise. It's still the best image editor IMO, never would've known that before I used it.
