  1. Re:Unpasteurized milk production on Scientists Find Chemical-Free Way To Extend Milk's Shelf Life For Up To 3 Weeks (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 2

    Are those spherical cows?

  2. Shoot, there went the neighborhood!

  3. Re:Nice website on The Freeware Hall of Fame Enters Its 20th Year (freewarehof.org) · · Score: 1

    That site hurt my eyes! Oh my word.

    Also, does he remind you of the timecube guy? http://www.freewarehof.org/myt...

  4. Re:and the Los Altos garage where Steve Jobs start on Google, Tesla, and Facebook Attract 'Hordes of Tech Tourists' To Their Headquarters (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 1

    LISP? I didn't know Steve Jobs had a lisp...

  5. Star Trek on Robotic Exoskeletons May Become Skintight Suits (robohub.org) · · Score: 1

    The Star Trek Borg were right: Seven of Nine's outfit WAS the most efficient exoskeleton!

  6. Re:Well it sounded like a joke EULA on TOS Agreements Require Giving Up First Born -- and Users Gladly Consent · · Score: 1

    Doesn't matter. By 2050, everyone will have moved on from NameDrop and it'll be a ghost town like MyBook or FaceSpace.

  7. Re:New Skype App For Linux on Microsoft Finally Releases New Skype App For Linux (skype.com) · · Score: 1

    Technically it's correct, and a few characters shorter, but I do agree: Package is a better term to use in the Linux space.

  8. Re:Whether he's overall crazy or not... on Linus Torvalds In Sweary Rant About Punctuation In Kernel Comments (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    Mods, I need to report an empty post.

  9. Re:It *is* tokenism that they chose Sulu! on George Takei Opposes Gay Sulu In 'Star Trek Beyond' (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    Wasn't this the original shipping in fanfic?

  10. Re:Hey, you can do this too on Researchers Develop A Way To Stop Ransomware By Watching The Filesystem (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    Care to share the source? Maybe a github repo or tarball on dropbox or something? I would like to use something like that, but I'm not much of a programmer.

  11. Re:Private industry doing it better than governmen on Wendy's Says More Than 1,000 Restaurants Affected By Hack (go.com) · · Score: 1

    I was quite impressed with the site sharing which locations were affected. I understand security is the mitigation of risk, not the absolute prevention of risk, and I appreciate their attempts to be so open with their customers. I suppose that due to all the other breaches everywhere else in the world, I have enough credit monitoring for quite a while, so I don't need this one too.

  12. Re:Summary makes it sound worse than it is on TP-LINK Loses Control of Two Device Configuration Domains (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    I confess, I've used lots of home routers over the years, and have set up friends' and neighbors' routers, and I've never heard of using a domain name that the router intercepts. I've always just used IP addresses. If 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.0 wasn't it, I just googled the defaults for that router.

  14. Re:Domestic parliament? on Bulgaria Got a Law Requiring Open Source (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Bulgaria is still a sovereign state, not a province of a kind of EU Empire.

    For now.

  15. Re:My recessional was the Star Trek TNG theme. on Red Hat Exec Marries A Couple At Red Hat Summit (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    Ditto. 'Cept, everyone was still applauding so we missed the opening notes and missed our cue to leave. We started a few seconds later...

  16. Re:Now there's something I really want... on Facebook Messenger Now Has 11,000 Bots (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Not on any Social media site thankfully. Never have been.

    That's what you think.

  17. Re:Killer feature on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Preferred Note-Taking App? · · Score: 1

    Self-hosting and open-source (GPLv3). Hard to cash in on someone running the stuff themselves, but maybe that's too hard for you.

  18. Re:Goodbye Subscription Windows..... on 'UpgradeSubscription.exe' File In Preview Build Hints At Windows 10 Subscriptions (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I said I would switch to Linux instead of Windows 10. So I did. My main PC at home runs Korora 23. My auxiliaries still run Windows, but I only log into them about once a month or so.

  19. Re:Keep in mind where the word "sabotage" originat on Netherlands Gets First Nationwide 'Internet of Things' (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    Wow, this guy's talking to himself!

  21. Re:Pinterest? on Here's How Pinterest Plans to Get You To Shop More (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    I know some men that use pinterest. Albeit their interests lie not in home decorations, jewelry, and cooking. My male friends on pinterest look at memes, media entertainment things, and recreational vehicles and camping stuff.

  22. Re:Mozzarella: The Movie on Minecraft Movie To Compete With Avengers and Star Wars In 2019 (polygon.com) · · Score: 1

    Nah, sounds too cheesy.

  23. Re:Superannuated on Remember When You Could Call the Time? · · Score: 1

    Liar! Nobody that old would remember it that well.

  24. For the first time, I have experienced that choking-on-a-drink phenomenon. Emrom, indeed!
