  1. ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

  2. Re:Already Exists on Man Campaigns For Addition of 'Th' Key To Keyboard · · Score: 1

    The "y" was used to represent the Thorn character, which wasn't in standard typesets.

  3. Re:Thorn on Man Campaigns For Addition of 'Th' Key To Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Thanks. I was about to point that out.

  4. Re: If it makes you sleep well at night.... on How Old Is the Average Country? · · Score: 1

    Even though the German empire existed since 1870, Bavaria had a King up through World War I. Bavaria existed long before Germany. Different countries have different rules.

  5. Alien rebroadcasts of "I Love Lucy" on Mystery Intergalactic Radio Bursts Detected · · Score: 1

    They got our signals, and are sending them back so we do better next time.

  6. Would still be running OS/2 on Why Automakers Should Stop the Infotainment Arms Race · · Score: 1

    If my one car had a computer system built in when manufactured, it would still be running OS/2. On a VGA monitor.

    All GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

  8. Re:Replaceable computer on Why Automakers Should Stop the Infotainment Arms Race · · Score: 1

    I was trying to think of a good response, but this is better than I would have come up with. Thanks.

  9. Replaceable computer on Why Automakers Should Stop the Infotainment Arms Race · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you are going to build something like this into a car, it must be upgrade-able and replaceable. Cars are used well over 10 years, any computer system would be hopelessly obsolete in half that time.

  10. Re:Your Welcome on Fedora 19 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm a Spherical Cow man, all the way...

  11. Virtual Universe on CERN Testing Cloud For Crunching the Universe's Secrets · · Score: 1

    Our universe Is just a simulation run in the cloud in another universe.

  12. Technet subscription must check in every 24 hours on Microsoft To Shut Down TechNet Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    Change the subscription policy so that you have to check in every 24 hours to maintain your subscription. You can only access it from a friends house if your home PC is still on. Hey, it worked for the Xbox One, didn't it?

  13. They should at least make a basic driver on AMD/ATI Drops Windows XP Support · · Score: 1

    Had that problem when everything went 64 bit OS. I had an Epson scanner, and they made no 64 bit drivers for any older device. Suddenly every old device became useless. It's not like a new scanner is that much better than an old one. Just make a basic driver so you can at least get hardware to function.

  14. Used to use it, it was the best on Yahoo Puts AltaVista To Death · · Score: 1

    In its heyday, it was the best.

  15. Re:Because TCP is broken? on QUIC: Google's New Secure UDP-Based Protocol · · Score: 1

    UDP is almost as old as TCP. They are not mucking around with it, they are just using it. It just doesn't guarantee delivery like TCP. If you are streaming something, who cares about lost packets from the past?

  16. Re:Where's the Skip This Ad button? on Review: Oracle Database 12c · · Score: 1

    Its right beside the dislike button.

  17. Re:However on Hands-On With Windows 8.1 Preview · · Score: 1

    Good. It is always nice to make someone's day.

  18. Re:However on Hands-On With Windows 8.1 Preview · · Score: 1

    At work I still use XP. I don't limit myself to what is work standard, or I would be way behind the power curve.

  19. Can you upgrade from preview to final later? on Hands-On With Windows 8.1 Preview · · Score: 1

    or do you have to wipe the machine clean to install the actual Windows 8.1?

  20. Re:However on Hands-On With Windows 8.1 Preview · · Score: 4, Interesting

    No, I am going to test it out again. Spent nearly a year with the 8 preview, and dropped it. To many tasks took too many steps. Will try this again to see if it is ready for prime time.

  21. Kernel Version? on AMD Overhauls Open-Source Linux Driver · · Score: 0

    In which version will this be included?

  22. ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD! on Former Scientologist: CoS Told Brin It Wanted Only "Good" Search Results · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'll take one.

  24. Use Google to delete your data on No "Right To Be Forgotten," Says EU Advocate General · · Score: 1

    Use Google to find web sites hosting data about you. Contact them to delete it. Now it won't show up in Google or ANY OTHER search engine.

  25. Microsoft should go with Xenix on PlayStation 4 Will Be Running Modified FreeBSD · · Score: 4, Funny

    After the IBM vs SCO fiasco, maybe Xenix can be put to good use.
