"The maguro bōchō is a longer knife with a blade length of 40 cm (16 inches) to 150 cm (60 inches) in addition to a long handle. It can fillet a tuna in a single cut, although usually two people are needed to handle the knife and the tuna."

The problem with solving world hunger is that the people who are no longer hungry will start reproducing until there are too many people to feed again.
Education lowers birth rates IIRC. Could that break the cycle? Also, isn't most starvation due to political problem, not agricultural?

I don't know if it was a decision or just a happening. You get big, you get top heavy, you fall over.

I'd argue that Google has always been shit, so many half-assed/forgetten/neglected attempts at doing something. Nothing ever feels complete and the lack of help makes the products seem more like school projects rather than an actual business. I used to wonder if having to pay for a product would make the experience better, but I doubt it.

It sounds crazy, but the University of California is actually migrating their entire e-mail system to GMail. I think Google has always been about "worse is better" paradigm of software development. I mean, it works for most purposes. It's just never pretty or completely functional. But I totally hate all the stupid UI revamps they've been doing lately. I don't get what the advantage of the new UI is supposed to be.

Just read a VF article from September '11 about Google's reaction to being hacked by the Chinese. This says so much: "Google executives reportedly believed that the American government monitors [China's] Internet infrastructure the same way it monitors foreign military threats to keep the geographic homeland secure. A former White House official told me, 'After Google got hacked, they...

Victor, the City of LA signed a contract with Google and it's been nothing but missteps and errors on behalf of the company. Of course, having an idiot mayor sign such a contract says a lot about him. So many public servants just scoff when you mention the Google contract. Stuff that should have been in place years ago is still not ready and as a citizen, this access Google promised is not there or half-assed.

What about Gmail ? Context, please.

The problem isn't that they make new interfaces every so often, it's that they don't let you stay with the old one, and the new one sucks. In this case, uses a lot more CPU (even when not doing anything) and memory, is harder to use (lower contrast, meaningless icons), and yet it appears to have no additional features. Gmail has been around for nearly 8 years and it still doesn't have real folders or the ability to sort? WTF kind of a mail reader doesn't let you sort messages?

A 14-year-old runaway was picked up by police and gave a fake name and age. Somehow she picked the name of a 22-year-old illegal immigrant, and even though she's black and speaks no Spanish, ICE deported her to Colombia!

How in the hell do you deport a minor who is black and speaks no Spanish to Colombia? Somebody should not only get fired over this, but probably go to prison too.
- Gabe
If she survives, the plus side will be a free trip to Columbia.

"Forgive us. As you know, we are not church-going people, so we are unable to fully appreciate that "gay marriage" is incompatible with Christian values, despite the fact that those values carry a biblical tradition of adultery such as yours. We applaud you for keeping that tradition going."

Minesota's Republican Senate Majority leader Amu Koch shows that male Republicans have no monopoly on swarmy sexual liasons with an employee. Everybody in Minnesota Republican establishment feeling good about Amy, she was fucking a guy after all Family values #ftw

There's an infomercial on TV that showed "888 ???-????" as the phone number for the first 10 minutes. It didn't switch to a real phone number until after the guy said "Phones are ringing off the hook!".
