seriously though there is over a gross dozens of you (subs) That's probably pretty high for this backwaters internet.

If you really want to push it, to obnoxious levels, mebbies set some daft weekly challenges. Like the old 64k demos; I'm sure i remember an almost functional first level of doom (probly using DX)

Heres a game, "shadow of the collossus" who can make it run , playable, on less than 50$ ?

Once again proving that programmable RGB lighting enhances performance.

Agreed, spent too much time recently trying to get a "modern" database to accept one of out transactional systems' dummy EOT value (3456-02-01).

Took far, far too long for me to realise that it only wanted to store date/time in nanoseconds !? Fuck me, you'd have to be dumb fuck computer to want to measure every date in nanoseconds - even oracle wasn't that dumb, oh hang on we're "upgrading" to MS.

There must be a joke in here to do with dates that only last a nanosecond, I think it's to do with pandas' breeding rates.

In UK I've mostly have heard 'naughties' for the decade sine about 1999. But I rarely heard "naughty X" as a year name unless someone was being even more deliberately daft. I'd say "oh" would be most common here after "two thousand and X" too in my experience.

I always thought that "'aught" was an American contraction of 'naught'.

"aught" in old timey-English can mean "other" or "else" or even "anything". In my local dialect we still say "owt" meaning "anything" as an opposite of "nowt" nothing".

But isn't half the point of cutting edge tech news to echo hype louder and louder until investors pile in?

Maybe that's why I've never got the hang on sign language; I've not been using the 11th finger.

UK is generally shite - and probably getting worse. intercity trains and local bus services are probably better than average USA - if there even is such an "average" for USA. I don't think much in the UK is as good as say NYC though - and if there is - say maybe central London, it's fucking expensive. I recall from years ago buses and metro in NYC being quite cheap - but not like continental Europe levels of cheap.

Good job UK is not in Europe anymore - bringing the equally meaningless EU average down.
