  1. Emacs and Vim combined? Blasphemy!!! on Emacs and Vim Combined In New 'Spacemacs' Distro (spacemacs.org) · · Score: 1

    Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

  2. Fuck you statists! The Market will solve this... on Bruce Schneier: We Need To Save the Internet From the Internet of Things (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Tech-clueless buyers will naturally gravitate to Internet-enabled toasters and refrigerators that cost twice as much money but can't be pwned with minimal effort by fourth-graders; and the problem will solve itself -- right after donkeys fly.

    Sure, but the number of ways to get fucked by C/C++ is countably infinite, while the number of ways to get fucked by Perl is uncountably infinite.

    Which language would you have sex with?

    Perl, obviously, it has the most holes in it and sucks the hardest. There are countless ways to get fucked by Perl.

  5. Re:48 bit IPs would have been nice on What Vint Cerf Would Do Differently (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    But I can understand that when IP was developed there were only a few thousand computers in the world likely to be connected, so 16 bits would seem adequate. Using 32 bits would have been a bit of a stretch at that time.

    Ummmmmmm... Have you ever seen an IP (v4) address?

  6. Pfffffftt 800,000 years??? on Our Atmosphere Is Leaking Oxygen and Scientists Don't Know Why (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's not climate, that's weather. I'm really sick of these so-called "scientists" pulling this alarmist "research" out of their statist asses to garner yet more of that sweet sweet government giveaway grant money. This isn't "science" -- reproducible results or it didn't happen. Until then, I say we drive it like we stole it.

  7. Probably not... on Will Oracle Surrender NetBeans to Apache? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Were there possibly a paid installed base that Oracle had/could buy, so they could say "we have your quivering, twitching, small-mammal-terrified asshole over a barrel, surrender or die", they might possibly give a marginal fuck; otherwise, no, no, not so much. Surrender or die. It's the Oracle way.

    Yeah, but GE has the benefit of not having to pay any corporate income tax, so they're a leg up on all those small business losers.

  18. Re:In Germany, lights work that way on Audi's Traffic Light Information System Tells You When The Lights Are Going To Turn Green (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    Except for the fact that Audi drivers are uniformly the worst, the biggest, most self-entitled, self-absorbed assholes on the road. So, when that light turns green, three Audi drivers on the cross-street will still be out in the middle of the intersection, waiting to turn left after THEIR light changes to red.

    Pay attention -- the next time some asshole throws himself under your wheels, expecting you to brake hard so he can save a tenth of a second -- even though YOU have the right-of-way -- it'll be an Audi driver.

    As for the "iptables -F" bit, which everyone seems to have their knickers in such a twist about: The Facebook bit was snipped from my script to set up firewalls. After having too many times said^Wscreamed "Who in the hippity-hopping fuck (interactively) put in a rule for "192.168.1.1 drop" (or some other ridiculous shit), I've instituted a policy where ALL iptable rules (even on my own personal machines) happen in a single script where it starts with a blank table, and you fucking DOCUMENT why you're blocking this address/range. When I snipped and posted, I didn't fully consider that I was posting to a site full of nitpickers. Mea culpa.

    Actually, you're right. It was a "war of independence", not a "revolution" in the classical (i.e. French) sense. However, what the Founding Fathers (the "Revolutionaries" in common parlance) did was both treason and sedition.

    And you're right on your second point as well, but it will involve the Second Amendment, not the First.
