Two replies to the same message with the same information? It's starting to look like you're writing their adverts for them.

The first one didn't come through immediately so I thought I'd hit the wrong button. But if they want to hire me ..... !

The only thing that I don't get yet is why everyone so desperately decorates himself like a christmas tree.
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.

You decorate your Christmas tree with diamonds? Can you adopt me please?

Please move to the end of the line. The other applicants arrived before you.

I concur. What's the big deal with diamonds, rings, etc. They are just shiny rocks attached to bits of shiny metal after all!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Gold has excellent electrical properties and does not corrode. Diamonds can be used in all kinds of cutting tools. There are probably hundreds of more productive uses for them than decorating some aging primates

Well, diamonds are made of carbon after all.
Burns just fine.
But as the heat conductivity is five times that of copper it's at least pretty hard to set fire to.

The answer is SUBAQUA, or SUB-AQUA, by some standards, so after 3 hours of holding my breath I'll have to do it again. Can anyone give the solution to the cryptic bits.

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... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

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.
