    There are versions with subtitles, but it's so much funnier without.

      Ah, Glasshopper, but English is a language that is far more fascinating than any programming language could ever be. This is because computers are idiots, so computer languages only have to communicate thoughts and ideas to idiots. But English is far more sophisticated, because you have to use it to communicate thoughts and ideas to things that are far worse than idiots.

        I've been using it lately, after seeing this[^] :D

          In everyday life, that's certainly true (and to this day I precede my conjunction with a comma!) However in a college English class, if you don't follow the rules to the letter (no matter how retarded) then you get docked points... To further cement the stupidity of this mindset, I wrote a paper in said class about DRM schemes. I got docked points because I was using 'defamatory/inflamatory language'. Stupid woman didn't know that scheme was literally what they were called, and wouldn't listen to any argument against what she felt was true. Hated her, hated the class, and hate English (the language!) in general... So glad that my degree only required one semester of English...

          I'm lost. What's defamatory/inflammatory about "scheme"? :confused:

          I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

            The Data Packaging Tool main window contains three tabs: Unsigned Data Files, Signed Data Files, EFT Generator and TMS Packages. (from the Ingenico documentation) Even the screenshot shows 4 tabs. :rolleyes: Marc

            I had a friend deal with Ingenico tech support recently. They told him that each of the network devices that they provided "need their own IP address." I was a bit flabbergasted, until troubleshooting and testing revealed they needed their own STATIC IP addresses. seems like they're consistent at least.

              The last time I bought high-octane cider, I stuck it in the freezer for too long, and ended up with a lump of ice and some *really* good burn-your-tubes-on-the-way-down alcohol. But I was referring to this[^]

              What I called 'cold distallation', many moons ago. When friends and I got together for winter camping and snowmobile racing in Alaska, by leaving Boone's Farm wine out in a pan overnight, we got some killer flavored high-proof 'stuff'.

                Inherently nothing. The dictionary definition only describes it as some manner of plan. However the adjective form (which to note, I wasn't using the adjective form...) is more commonly used in a derogatory manner. 'He is such a scheming b!@#ard.' Etc. So she had it in her head that the noun form of the word had a negative connotation as well... Fantastic for an English professor; doesn't even understand the language she's supposed to be teaching!
