That’s amazing accuracy. They dropped each bomb on one of the four corners of the complex.

That’s what they said five years ago.

Stop judging me, bucko!

“Whee, I’m Superman!”

“Fuck.”

I wasn’t talking about the Linux installer but the whole installation process. I agree that the things you mentioned are the real obstacles. Once you have the live system running it’s usually plain sailing.

It’s irrelevant to the user but for most people it’s an obstacle for trying out Linux. Most people won’t just buy a new Linux machine, not even considering the fact that they’re not easy to find. The way you get started is to install it in some old box you have lying around. That’s far too difficult for most people to do right now and therefore a barrier to entry.

Can you provide any sources?

Have there ever been cases where this actually happened?

Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched.

When I was young (a very long time ago), the UK was very much associated with rain. If you’d ask any non British person what they think about when they hear about the UK, the answer would have been tea, polite people and rain. I guess at least the first one still holds true.

Not a headline you’d ever have expected to read about the UK.

Whoa whoa, hold on there! You can’t expect a product manager to come up with such detailed specs!

Spiffing little contraption the chaps have come up with, there.

Better late than never, I guess. I really don’t understand why this isn’t more of a thing.

Not wanting to speculate here but I think the possibility that intoxicating substances were involved cannot be ruled out.

The black king is going to do an en passant.

Shoot it! Do it now!

Just a little smoking mishap, of course.

Pretty much the stupidest game you can play.

Either something doesn’t add up in this story or this guy was stupid beyond belief.
