    Because you don't get to see the results instantly, so it forces you to slow down and think about what you are doing, and get it right in the camera.

    It's why I use ed to make programs. Because you don't get to see the results instantly, so it forces you to slow down and think about what you are doing, and get it right in the file.

    We now have daily obituaries. Thanks slashdot, can now cancel my remaining magazines subscriptions.

  9. Re:ATARI WASNT NOTHING on Atari Co-Founder Ted Dabney Dies at Age 81 (eurogamer.net) · · Score: 1

    "Wasn't nothing"? Double negation, so you actually mean "Was something"

  10. Just wait for a moment on Is Cockroach Milk the Ultimate Superfood? (globalnews.ca) · · Score: 1

    Let's wait for monsanto and the like to change a few genes ; when the cockroaches reach the size of a cow, it will look way more appetizing.

  12. But but ... on Did Google's Duplex Testing Break the Law? (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    OpenWRT used to discourage people to install on newer dual-chip routers, and indeed the bw was lower. But LEDE (the new OpenWRT) did amazing progress in this regard. Try it.

    Did Obama end the Korean war?

  23. Re:But, why? on Trump Withdraws US From Iran Nuclear Deal (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Oh, you didn't get it, yet? Trump's goal is to disassemble, wipe out, destroy whatever Obama did. Would that be bad, or good.
