  1. I hope this is the first step, and over time they can get a power source farther and farther away, maybe to be worn as an earring or nose-ring or necklace.

  2. Re:The American people... on More Than 750 American Communities Have Built Their Own Internet Networks (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You're right. I'm not opposed to voluntary communism. Community is a wonderful thing! I'm opposed to government-enforced communism.

  3. Re:He seems to like complex devices on Donald Knuth Turns 80, Seeks Problem-Solvers For TAOCP (stanford.edu) · · Score: 1

    The Organ of Don and Jill Knuth

    Wow, without Jill listed there, that would be interpreted very differently!

  4. Yes, but does it also perform speculative execution? If so, do not want!

  5. Comment on The Tech Failings of Hawaii's Missile Alert · · Score: 1

    Yeah, well, in his defense the system was Emacs-systemd, and he got a little confused as to whether it was C-x C-m M-a or C-x C-m M-t in the current runlevel...

    (Yeah, couldn't decide whether to hate on emacs or systemd, so here's both!)

  6. Re:Windows 10 on PC Market Still Showing Few Signs of Life (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I did this. Windows 10 made me a Linux user.

  7. Re:The point is to make the Republican party on Senate Will Force Vote On Overturning Net Neutrality Repeal (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Ditto. Registered Republican, but I want net neutrality. Some regulation helps a free market.

  8. Meanwhile, Lisa Frank sticker sets see a huge sales growth!

  9. Re:Uh on Linux Mint 19 Named 'Tara' (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Fedora 27 doesn't have a name-- it's just a number. Same for Red Hat or CentOS.

  10. Please share what model, or is it pretty much any Cisco product?

  11. Re:Decided on a Facebook hiatus... on Mark Zuckerberg's Real Campaign: Save Facebook (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Decided on a slashdot hiatus this month. Frankly, I don't really feel I miss much and I RTFS frequently. Sometimes, you think "this is news for nerds, I should comment on it." That feeling usually drops away after 10 minutes. I conclude that it really wasn't that important then.

    Dammit...

  12. Thank you for sharing! In my now several years of shell scripting, I'd never read the man bash(1) where it talks about $LINENO. I also like your assert idea, and I'll bake that into my next project to see how it goes.

  13. About your logging, do you enable different flags for log verbosity? I've alternated between having different amounts of verbosity and just logging the maximum, regardless.

    Not a chameleon?

  15. Re:And inronically, it carries coal on China Has Launched the World's First All-Electric Cargo Ship (futurism.com) · · Score: 1

    You mean things like "Oh...and Ironically, the world's first all-electric cargo ship is being used to move coal."?

    This is slashdot. Who RTFS?

  16. I always use hunter2

  17. Came here to say this so fast, I forgot to log out of my sockpuppet account.

  18. That sounds like a terrible job. They're going to need brain bleach, and they'll still slowly go crazy...

    Find a better barber.

    I'm bald, you insensitive clod!

  20. Re:Kill all Fascist and Nazi Supporters on Cloudflare's CEO Has a Plan To Never Censor Hate Speech Again (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I got news for you. Marxists killed many, many more people in the 20th century than Nazis and Fascists combined!

    Because it was only a twelve year Reich.

    Because a lot of people died, including lots from Marxist regions, to keep it that short.

  21. Re: Why do writers do this? on Two Stars Collided And Solved Half of Astronomy's Problems. Now What? (fivethirtyeight.com) · · Score: 1

    Universal ground?! I'm still looking for the universal power port, two- or three-pronged!

  23. Could someone post a 9 second video of them summarising it for me?

    No, I can't. Vine was shut down!
