  1. Re:Modern Technology on UK Government Department Still Runs VME Operating System Installed In 1974 · · Score: 1

    Those hill forts were made from wood. Typical pre-Roman celtic structures. Wood decays, stone not so much.

  2. Google Mistake on The One Mistake Google Keeps Making · · Score: 1

    What they need to do is to continue developing the mistake and when ready release a beta branded as 'Google Mistake'. Then quietly announce a few months later that 'Google Mistake' is being shelved indefinitely. Isn't that what they usually do?

  3. Re:No group "owns" any day on the calendar. on Neil DeGrasse Tyson Explains His Christmas Tweet · · Score: 1

    Tenant? Don't comment if you don't know how to spell.

  4. Re:Kind of Disappointed in You on Neil DeGrasse Tyson Explains His Christmas Tweet · · Score: 1

    will you please stop using that 'hamstering' thing?

  5. Re:Doh! TERRIFIC products , not terrible on Comcast-TWC Merger Review On Hold · · Score: 2

    Sorry. You can't take that back. You will be remembered for making terrible products. But perhaps if you try to sell it such that people think in terms of the original meaning of 'terrible'. You make truly frightening products that strike terror into the competition. Doe this help?

  6. Tis the season on The World Is Not Falling Apart · · Score: 1

    to state the obvious. Come on, can we please have some hard facts and details and not this editorial bullshit?

  7. Cory Doctorow on How Laws Restricting Tech Actually Expose Us To Greater Harm · · Score: 2

    He's the sort of mega-evolved Bennett Haselton. Or Bennet on steroids if you prefer. A lot of obvious waffle and no real clue about anything.

  8. Confused on The History of the NORAD/Microsoft and Google Santa Trackers · · Score: 2

    When I started reading TFS and found myself dazed and bewildered - words swimming in a blur before my eyes - I was sure that this must be one of Bennett's wonderful epics. But no! Theodp wants to usurp Bennett. Treason!

  9. Re:Hypocrite- not surprised on Putting Time Out In Time Out: The Science of Discipline · · Score: 1

    Thank you anonymous friend!

  10. Emily Dickenson? on Amazon "Suppresses" Book With Too Many Hyphens · · Score: 1

    Does Amazon sell collections of Emily Dickenson poetry? She was mad into the humble hyphen.

  11. Re:Precious Snowflake on Putting Time Out In Time Out: The Science of Discipline · · Score: 1

    Charming!

  12. Re:Precious Snowflake on Putting Time Out In Time Out: The Science of Discipline · · Score: 1

    I'm sure I have read many comments here stating that psychology is not a science. It is not.

  13. Holy fuck on Putting Time Out In Time Out: The Science of Discipline · · Score: 1

    Seriously? Unicorns and rainbows. Ponies. Fuck. Is this from the 1970s? Spanking? WTF?

  14. furst on The Dominant Life Form In the Cosmos Is Probably Superintelligent Robots · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    tops

  15. Re:Hole to be filled? on Anyone Can Now Launch Their Own Version of the Pirate Bay · · Score: 1, Insightful

    shhh!

  16. Sorry, I don't understand. May we please have a car analogy...oh, right. Thanks.

  17. Re:I believe it! on Startup Magic Leap Hires Sci-Fi Writer Neal Stephenson As Chief Futurist · · Score: 1

    Elle a chaud au cul

  18. Re:But These Where Dangerous Criminals ... on Did Alcatraz Escapees Survive? Computer Program Says They Might Have · · Score: 5, Funny

    They just got jobs as politicians - Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld - these are just a few of the escaped prisoners you are looking for.

  19. Re:So which came first on How Birds Lost Their Teeth · · Score: 1

    I cannot argue with your logic, sir.

  20. Re:Quashed? on Sony Pictures Leak Reveals Quashed Plan To Upload Phony Torrents · · Score: 1

    It is the uploading part that is considered illegal.

  21. Re:Bennett Haselton writes on Why Didn't Sidecar's Flex Pricing Work? · · Score: -1, Troll

    I started reading this and assumed it was a poorly written satire of the 'article' - NO! it is the article. Nice troll douchebag!

  22. Re:Duh. on Why Didn't Sidecar's Flex Pricing Work? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Drole? what is that supposed to mean? It is not even a word. If you're going to set up a petition, please have the decency to be able to write something that makes sense. If you mean 'droll' you have managed to misspell the wrong word. Bah.

  23. Re:So which came first on How Birds Lost Their Teeth · · Score: 1

    the livers are pretty damn good too. Lightly sauteed in butter, splash of red wine. I haven't got around to trying the gizzards or hearts yet, but will eventually.

  24. Re:Wasn't there a book about this? on How Birds Lost Their Teeth · · Score: 1

    But moths are just 'meh'...

  25. Re:The beaks won on How Birds Lost Their Teeth · · Score: 4, Funny

    He is being deliberately contra-dictionary.
