  1. I like today's /. quote at the bottom of the page. It's the first helpful, or intelligent, thing anybody's said all day.

  2. Rick Allen on Wearable Third Arm Gives Drummers Extra Robotic Rhythm (gizmag.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder if Rick Allen of Def Leppard is sitting up and taking notice of this technology...

  3. I have some on Where Are the Raspberry Pi Zeros? (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 1

    I purchased three copies of the MagPi magazine with a free Pi Zero on them. Figured I'd maybe play with one of them, then see if I could make a small profit from them on eBay later... Offers please... ;-)

  4. Re:Another shameless profit-monger... on Scott Meyers Retires From Involvement With C++ (blogspot.com) · · Score: 1

    whoosh...

  5. Another shameless profit-monger... on Scott Meyers Retires From Involvement With C++ (blogspot.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Scott was one of the many greedy people to profit from Stroustrup's clever industry cons! Read this revealing leaked interview (Invention of C++) from 1998 and learn the truth!

    Sarcasm mode off...
    Thanks Scott! You will be missed!

  6. Re: My $2500 macbook can blow it out of the water! on $5 Raspberry Pi Zero Compared To Intel's NetBurst CPUs & Newer (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    I have five of them, however they're still attached to the covers of the magazine they came 'free' with... I'm reluctant to remove them, and instead stick them on ebay.

  7. It's probably just my old eyes, but the spacing between words in TFA made it really difficult to read...

  8. I'm as likely to read this as I am a typical EULA, and likely to get just as fucked either way...

  9. TARDIS on Desktop Turing-Welchman Bombe Build · · Score: 1

    Nice TARDIS in the corner there...

  10. Re:Ashley Madison is for cows. on Ashley Madison's Passwords Cracked, Soon To Be Released · · Score: 1

    I'm still trying to remember my 3-digit username/password...

  11. Re:Crap. on Happy Birthday, Linux! An OS At 24 · · Score: 1

    So... assuming you're not just trolling... If you hate Linux so much, why do you use XUbuntu at home?

  12. Re:Finally ... on Redefining Security Visualization With Hollywood UI Design · · Score: 2

    whooosh....

  13. Re:Meeting him on Actor Christopher Lee Has Died at 93 · · Score: 1

    *Ludwig....

  14. Meeting him on Actor Christopher Lee Has Died at 93 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I met him when I was living in Germany in the '80s. I was buying a CD at Ludwick Becks (München) and this booming voice came from behind me asking if his order (for some opera) had arrived. Turning around and realising who it was and instantly turned into a nine year-old and asked him to autograph the CD I was holding. It was a BBC audio book of LotR, and he proceeded to tell me I'd be better off reading the book... :-)

  15. Re:Hmmm on Interviews: Ask Kim Dotcom a Question · · Score: 1

    Those whippersnappers... always complaining...

  16. Darn on Breakthough Makes Transparent Aluminum Affordable · · Score: 1

    Does this mean I have to put off buying my new MacBook Pro yet again....?

  17. Coincidence on Giant Lava Tubes Possible On the Moon · · Score: 1

    This in the same week that The Clangers make a reappearance on English TV....

  18. Re:Gay? on Tim Cook: "I'm Proud To Be Gay" · · Score: 2

    I hate to tell you this, but you just might have become involved in a relationship with a RealDoll (TM)....

  19. Analogy? on Swedish Dad Takes Gamer Kids To Warzone · · Score: 2

    "Here Junior, stop watchin' that porn and step over here to watch your mum and i having sex... that's what it's really like..."

  20. Re:WHICH PORTLAND on Google Fiber Is Officially Making Its Way To Portland · · Score: 1

    I find it amusing that the referenced article abbreviates to Oregon as "Oreg.", rather than the standard "OR", or the much older (but still used) "ORE."... As long as they don't pronounce it "Ory-gone"....

  21. Re:Here is a photo of the crew preparing to board. on Indian Space Agency Prototypes Its First Crew Capsule · · Score: 1

    You're right, I should have done my research. How can I expect my post to be taken seriously with such glaring inaccuracies?

  22. Here is a photo of the crew preparing to board.... on Indian Space Agency Prototypes Its First Crew Capsule · · Score: 0
  23. Re:I'm intrigued on Interview: Ask Richard Stallman What You Will · · Score: 0

    Nice try, RMS....

  24. Re:Nice to have the choice on Ubuntu 14.04 Brings Back Menus In Application Windows · · Score: 2

    That escalated quickly....

  25. Re:My favorite, ever. on Ask "The Fat Man" George Sanger About Music and Computer Games · · Score: 1

    Do you mean the Commodore 64 Master of Magic, or the Microprose PC one? Not entirely sure about the Microprose one, as I don't see it listed in his Wiki page. If you mean the Commodore 64 one, then that was Rob Hubbard I think. I played a bit of the Microprose game, but don't specifically recall anything about the soundtrack, the Commodore 64 game though - that's a different matter and that's a very memorable piece of music for me...
