    yeah, but explain this...
    Mickey - mouse - pants

  3. Re:DooDoo on Cats Can Recognize Their Own Names, Study Suggests (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    So as I always suspected, "NO!", "STOP!" and "GODDAMIT!" recognize their names, they're just ignoring me since they're assholes.

  4. brought to you by the Lock Her Up PAC, plz give! on OS/2 Warp Community Announces It's Merging With the Flat Earth Society (os2world.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    April Fools day on the internet should be International Critical Thinking day. A day to teach what everyone should be practicing 365 days a year.

  5. software quality on Boeing Unveils 737 Max Software Fixes (cnbc.com) · · Score: 0

    Shit like this is why AOC knows that in TEH FUTAR, everybody's going to be going by train.
    nobody tell her that trains are just as dependent on software. /snrk!

  6. Goodby yellow brick road on Elizabeth Warren Calls For a National Right-to-Repair Law for Tractors (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't remove the restraining bolt or those droids will run off into the hills. There will be no end to the trouble.

    wait, wait, here me out...

    Cookie Clicker, but every time you click, it sends a penny to Apple!
    Oh, and makes some sort of bullshit boop noise. Every once in a while throw in a different kind of boop to keep the player engaged.

  8. to recap:
    Netflix - but from Apple
    Steam - but from Apple
    Visa - but from Apple
    News - but from Apple

    The only innovation I see here is the attempt to direct other peoples' revenue streams into Apple's coffers.

  9. Yeah.
    The question is what is Natural Selection selecting for with the passengers?

  10. Yeah, but do they have a HEMI in it?

  11. Not impressed until they get to the part where the complete text of the Carl Sagan novel "Contact" shows up.
    Or Stanislaw Lem's "His Master's Voice", which probably comes first. /snark

  12. Re:Do you really think Congress will legislate thi on Congress Introduces Bill To Improve 'Internet of Things' Security (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    This will be watered down to the point where all it says is "Every internet-enabled appliance should have a password for security. The official credentials are scott/tiger".
    Enjoy.

  13. sheesh. get an ADE 651. on Inside Elizabeth Holmes's Chilling Final Months at Theranos (vanityfair.com) · · Score: 0

    We've known from since the time of Royal Rife that to build real Star Trek tricorders, you need to resonantly stimulate and sense the characteristic frequency of the testing material. This mucking around with nano blood samples is still messy biology. Also once you can determine the resonant frequency, it's a simple matter to destructively overdrive pathogens to blast them to bits. This has been settled super-science since the late 1920's.

  14. Re:SpaceX on Israel Launches Spacecraft To the Moon (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Best I can do is Elon Musk + Bitcoin , two days ago.

    I have no idea how to make that into a ::cue::cat play, but that would surely get me into the hall of fame.
    SCO would also be another big scorer.

  19. Re:Just curious here.... on DC Cancels Comic Where Jesus Learns From Superhero After Outcry (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    "News for Nerds, Stuff that matters" I seem to have heard that around here once upon a time. Stereotypical nerds are interested in comics.

    On a different front, these guys probably didn't want the competition.
    Tthe R. Crumb book of Genesis came too late for poor little Sheldon Cooper.

  20. Hi Son-man, I'm Dad-man! on DC Cancels Comic Where Jesus Learns From Superhero After Outcry (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh, the Christians might be upset about a trivialization of Jesus?
    I thought they were worried the Aztecs would be upset of the representation of Nanahuatzin in a comic book. Boy, you sure don't want to piss off those Aztecs!

  21. Idle Hands and all that Jazz on Microsoft Teases HoloLens 2 (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

  23. senators not serious about space on YouTube Strikes Now Being Used As Scammers' Extortion Tool (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Nah, we all hated Hatch looooonnnngggg before that. Back when he pushed to gerrymander that sweet NASA PORK to push solid boosters on the Space Shuttle design so Morton Thiokol, a major business in his home state of Utah, could lap at the government trough, resulting in the death of 7 astronauts. Set the USA Space Program back 35 years with that craven greed and stupidity.

  24. Re:Dogs on iRobot Unveils Terra, a Roomba Lawn Mower (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's not automatically picking up the dog poop that is the problem.

    The problem is limited battery life prevents automatically delivering the dog poop to Washington.

    For want of a screw the computer was lost.
