    Your style is admirable. Keep it up!

  6. Re:What does SAS stand for? on Ask Slashdot: When Do You Include 'Unnecessary' Code? (sas.com) · · Score: 1

    Haven't SAS'd in over 20 years but lol'd all the same.
    Honestly, habits die hard. I hit ESC three times in vi, but I don't "think" I'm OCD...? :)

    /Wonders how many /.'ers know of SAS
    //Probably the same amount that know of Ada

  7. Re:Phoning the police? on Vacationing Security Researcher Exposes Austrian ATM Skimmer (carbonblack.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, they regularly throw shrimp on the barbi in the opernplatz.

  8. Re:Don't eat this shit on KFC Introduces Meal Box That Doubles As A Smartphone Charger (indianexpress.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't need to hold the bones of the animal slaughtered for nourishment as their rendered fat dribbles down my chin, but it makes the experience all the more satisfying.

    /BELCH So, these charge boxes are grease-proof, right?

  9. Re:Why did she go to Germany? on Developer Of Anonymous Tor Software Dodges FBI, Leaves US (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    this works in the rot13-er-izer: "Vpu zbpugr Xelcgb, oribe rf xhruy jne."

  10. He may not be the hero we want, but he's the hero we deserve. Good on ya, mate!

  11. Geils v. Angel on German Court Orders Man To Destroy Naked Images of Ex-Partner (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    even though it might make your blood run cold, as per the ruling in that case, "I guess you gotta buy it."

  12. Clicked the link, saw the comments... on Google+ Redesigned (blogspot.com) · · Score: 2

    and they were all just links to the announcement with a single sentence about the article, and a public share. Yeah, I'm not that excited and I'm never coming back.

  13. Odisha, you say? DigitalGREEN is there. on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Introduce Kids In Rural India To Computers? · · Score: 1

    Given that USAID partnered with DigitalGREEN to teach them to wash hands before feeding children (but after handling cow pies) by showing videos on a lappy with small digital projector, you may want to talk to someone at DigitalGREEN.

  14. So... how screwed am I? on Thunderstrike2 Details Revealed · · Score: 1

    And what do I do to stay unscrewed? a serious question from a Macbooker.

    /I'm expecting much hate but some wisdom embedded in the barbs

  15. I like the cut of your jib, anon. We should hang out.

    /but not as friends... because of reasons.

    How will my friends know what I'm listening to?!

    /Oh right, I don't have any friends. So no problem!

  17. Cyberpunk Fiction did on Video Games: Gateway To a Programming Career? · · Score: 1

    However, the focus at improving a task repetitively helped me enormously, and I have video games to thank for that.

  18. Can't wait for Apple to remove the port! on Apple Watch's Hidden Diagnostic Port To Allow Battery Straps, Innovative Add-Ons · · Score: 1

    Next hardware rev they'll remove the port, or worse, just slightly change the configuration of pins and size.

  19. Re:No anonymity/handles, no pr0n on Google Insiders Talk About Why Google+ Failed · · Score: 1

    and what's hysterical is that I still get e-mails that people are following me on g+, even though I haven't posted in years!

  20. No anonymity/handles, no pr0n on Google Insiders Talk About Why Google+ Failed · · Score: 1

    These are why g+ failed. They wanted it to be a credentialing service more so than a "social network", and they actively stamped out any questionable content (in addition to questionable profiles).

  21. Worst. Mobile Site. Evar. on 'Mobilegeddon': Google To Punish Mobile-Hostile Sites Starting Today · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So big sites will tell some junior developer "make some grimey mobile style sheet. You've got a week." And we'll end up with something on a mobile browser that's worse than the full site? BRILLIANT.

  22. But Bill Gates is still sending me $1000, right? on Listen To a Microsoft Support Scam As It Happened · · Score: 2

    I've forwarded that e-mail hundreds of times!

    /the world will always build a bigger idiot

  23. Blood For the Blood God! on Games Workshop At 40: How They Brought D&D To Britain · · Score: 1

    And by 'Blood', I of course mean Money. ;) Those minis were not cheap. But Adeptus Titanicus was like a watered down Battletech, but in a good way. You spent more time playing and less time nose deep in rule books. And the mythos! They went deep and wide. A few years ago I was playing Blood Bowl online (soo much easier when the computer does the math for you) and last summer I got the Space Hulk video game for a song on steam (it's literally just the board game in your computer. Terrible video game, but awesome online game simulator).

    I hope they stick around for a while longer.

  24. Re:47,000 Edits, 10 articles affected on One Man's Quest To Rid Wikipedia of Exactly One Grammatical Mistake · · Score: 1

    I realize it's anathema to expect any one to actually read the article, but it's addressed. He keeps a 6-month database of previous edits and never re-edits (at least, not for another 6 months).

  25. Re:Similarity on One Man's Quest To Rid Wikipedia of Exactly One Grammatical Mistake · · Score: 1

    Mod Parent up, because I came to post this exact thing. In fact, the fascinating thing about Stealth Mountain is the amount of absolute abuse he 'suffers' from those who don't appreciate his corrections. And it's too bad he hasn't posted recently; I can't imagine it's due to a lack of tweet-fodder to work with!
