@Holypuck2025 @Vincentt1987 Okay, you know best. Dedicated animal transports can take a lot of animals. Regular passenger flights? You might want to look that up. Or better still ask your friends who work cargo what the average number of animals are on a passenger flight.

[kodabar @kodabar]

@Holypuck2025 @Vincentt1987 100? Most pets travel in the cabin and flights rarely carry more than one or two. The engines don't vent into the cargo hold either. You're upsetting yourself over something that doesn't happen.

@mrendell Matt Rendell, you are my favourite part of the Tour de France. Long digressions about language and culture during quiet bits of the race absolutely fascinate me. And then to challenge the vacuity of 'green' claims from a major team sponsor? Well done. I shall miss you.

[kodabar @kodabar]

@gemoscatelli @skdh And yet I'll bet you have retirement savings, despite your espoused certainty that this will happen.

[kodabar @kodabar]

@gemoscatelli @skdh Your prediction will not age well. Remember it when you make your next.

[kodabar @kodabar]

@FiddleyF @skdh This prediction will not age well. Remember it when you make your next one.

[kodabar @kodabar]

@gemoscatelli @skdh The first part is true. The second part is not. Quantum factorisation is not yet practical and is even a long way from possible. The implications may be huge, but so's the timescale to solve it. And you're presuming that no one is working on this. Ask Peter Shor.

[kodabar @kodabar]

@zbangazbanga @skdh It's a step, but not a major one. On the Google roadmap, this looks like step 2 of 6, so it gives the impression that quantum computing is close. But the gap between steps 3 and 4 is about a hundred times greater than between 1 and 2. And 5 and 6 are just: ???, profit.

[kodabar @kodabar]

@Subhash_Peshwa @skdh No. That's not how this works. Quantum bits change very quickly, which is why you need error correction, lest they change before you've read the information. Linking it to another chip ensures all the information will be invalid before it's been communicated with the other one.

There is nothing better than listening to @mrendell and @Petekennaugh not talking about cycling in the TdF commentary. I love hearing about regional history, geography and culture. And the 'T Rex' thing just did it for me. Keep up the good work, fellows.

@tchesshyre Now produce a Mail article claiming it's the most eco resort and saying that burning wood pellets to heat hot water is "environmentally-friendly" (cf. Drax). It's amazing what a free holiday can buy.

[kodabar @kodabar]

@picadorbooks @harrietgibsone @Independent Tim Berners-Lee invented the web, not the internet. You write very generally about the internet, when you're only talking about the small part of the English-language internet that you use. Bonus point for the tofu joke though.

@vegassoftware Anyone seeing this should know that the response to this was not to reply or to post an advisory notice, but to follow me on Twitter. Not impressed @vegassoftware

[kodabar @kodabar]

@vegassoftware Maybe use your social media and websites to inform people that there's a problem with the activation servers for the more recent versions of Vegas, instead of relying on Reddit and Twitter to do it for you.

@CareeristCom I don't know if it's you or some kind of affiliate, but every Digg article is getting comment-spammed with a link to your webinars: https://t.co/zWB1THJlzk

@NiranjanShan13 I'm not accusing people - I'm accusing you. I think you looked up that article five minutes ago and have read no others. I'm also accusing you of arguing in bad faith and being unable to disengage gracefully without having a final jibe. Just go away.

[kodabar @kodabar]

@NiranjanShan13 That you couldn't just leave it and had to tack on an allegation of straw man arguments does not paint a good picture of you. It just sounds like you're close-minded and have to get the last word in. There was no need for an insult. Now I feel sad for you.

[kodabar @kodabar]

@NiranjanShan13 I don't think you know anything about the political history of Taiwan other than maybe a few lines you've seen in a book or two. The trouble with saying 'helped enable' is that it's so slight it's unprovable one way or the other.

[kodabar @kodabar]

@NiranjanShan13 Oh my goodness - you think the US convinced Taiwan to democratise? I would stop using that as an example if I was you. The US influence in SK democracy is arguable, the US democratic influence in Taiwan is non-existent. You're just making stuff up now. We're done.

[kodabar @kodabar]

@NiranjanShan13 Those sources don't support what you claim. The first relates to only Truman's plans, the second is yourself and the third concludes that "it was likely the South Koreans themselves" and not American diplomacy that led to the actual transition to democracy.
