I sing it a little differently. But I assure you the stupidity did not escape them. Nor did going through the required motions harm anything either. Taking off your shoes and belt != "gate rape".
1. When someone makes a comment supporting MicroSoft.
2. When someone makes a comment bashing Apple.
3. When someone responds to their own post.
4. When someone screws up tags>br.
5. When someone suggests Cowboy Neal as an option in Slashdot polls.
Maybe. I'm not arguing against it, or for it. But how much? The whole point of the TFS is that effects vary so much that we can't tell people how safe it is, how much is too much, etc.
Good idea. Let's do nothing and wait until it's too late to save lives. Skate to where the puck's gonna be. Our power grid is going smart, meaning more and more things are connected to the internet, including all of our critical infrastructure. The internet of things is growing, with things like stoves and coffee pots hooked up to home networks (highly secure, I'm sure). China, Russia, Iran, and even North Korea (believe it or not) all have robust cyber offensive capabilities. This is where the next war will be fought, and the nerds here seem to want to make every excuse to avoid believing it.
I guess that might make even the slightest amount of sense if a Norwegian farmer and a Zimbabwean goat herder had the same likelihood of using a computer owned by the Chinese military.
(a) We can't be sure the attack originated in China, it could have simply been proxied through there (there are plenty of vulnerable Chinese systems).
...which were associated with Chinese military? These weren't random machines. The proxies the Chinese used were random machines in the US, and the attacks were traced back to machines associated with the Chinese govt. This has happened many times in the past, and we know of large Chinese military units engaged in cyber warfare. How many attacks like this have to happen before people realize what kind of war we are in?
If you've ever raised a 2-year old, you'd know we're not inherently good, but trained to be good by our parents and other members of society. Kids will lie, cheat, and steal unless corrected, reprimanded, punished, and told how to behave themselves.

people think that EMACS was just an editor, its scripting capabilities made it very, very unique in its abilities to handle integration
Wow, so not just a little unique?
Plenty of unix C/C++/script/python coders still use vi and emacs.
OK, I'll bite. Real programmers use emacs.
Haven't you ever heard of colorless green ideas? I hear they don't sleep well.
Do we have a lot of those in stock?
A few hundred million, maybe. The earth is pretty big.
This one?

Wow, it's almost as if you didn't even read TFS.
How did you get internet access below that huge rock you've obviously been living under?
It's OK. Commas, are on, the list of, things, to be destroyed.
Almost makes you think that was the joke. But only almost, apparently.
Hey man, thanks for explaining the joke to those without a sarcasm detector. I really appreciate it.
in 20 years the entire universe will be full of Chromebooks! Impressive adoption rate, indeed!
I don't know if I don't understand what you're trying to say, don't I.

What do you want the DHS to do? Go into every company and tell them how to set up their networks?
Wtf is a froggeld? Google, ironically, was of no use.
Ah, Chu...
Gesundheit!
Well shit, Doc Brown did that 130 years ago. How hard could it be?

Good luck doing a panorama in low light conditions without a flash.
