  1. Re:Not my kind of robot war on The BBC Announces Robot Wars' Return To TV (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Pink hair is the best!

  2. Re:This will be a disaster on TPP Signing Ceremony To Take Place In February (freezenet.ca) · · Score: 1

    I'm extremely glad that one of the first stupid lawsuit comes from Canada against the USA. If the USA being sued by a close friendly neighbour doesn't wake up your elected officials, nothing will.

  3. Mod informative for telling us what ATF stands for, unlike the summary.

  4. If I learned anything from watching Star Trek, the secondary regulator should kick in when the primary regulator overheats.

  5. Hey on First Children Have Been Diagnosed In 100,000 Genomes Project (bbc.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Where's the moocow guy?

  6. Re:laws are for Cows on French Conservatives Push Law To Ban Strong Encryption (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    The moo cow posts are usually right on topic, sometimes using knowledge that's inferred from the topic.

    My guess is that someone wrote a script to warn him when new threads are making it to the front page. If that person has a desk job it's easy to always post in every thread.

  8. Re:laws are for Cows on French Conservatives Push Law To Ban Strong Encryption (dailydot.com) · · Score: 2

    We used to have these very informative posts about HOSTS files, sometimes more than once per thread.

  9. Harry Solomon: Dick, I can't see through my eyelids.
    Sally Solomon: Open them.
    Harry Solomon: Oh, they're manual.

  10. Re:The contents of the message on North Korea Expands Retaliatory Loudspeaker Propaganda (yonhapnews.co.kr) · · Score: 1

    Probably no smart phones, no Internet, no Wi-Fi, no 3G/4G/5G/etc, no cellphone towers, etc.

    In fact, I've heard they don't even have electricity, water, food, houses, clothes, molecules or atoms.

  11. Re:I can't work out what this would achieve. on North Korea Expands Retaliatory Loudspeaker Propaganda (yonhapnews.co.kr) · · Score: 1

    People in general can bring themselves to believe some incredibly insane shit, especially when they've surrounded themselves with a lot of like-minded individuals. Studies have shown that pointing out the truth of the matter just causes them to become even more fervent about it, because by that point, they've made those falsehoods a part of their belief system, and attacks on those beliefs are the same as attacks on their very sense of self.

    Sounds like Emacs vs Vi, console/OS/car/etc fanboys.

    By the way, your editor/console/OS/car is crap.

  12. Re:News for Nerds? on North Korea Expands Retaliatory Loudspeaker Propaganda (yonhapnews.co.kr) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, I guess we could discuss the possible reasons why their speakers aren't loud enough? That's nerdy, right?

  13. In a few centuries all real religions will be dead. The last war will be between the followers of FSM and IPU.

    Yes I know, it sounds like that South Park episode. But still a good scenario for a movie.

  14. Re:I had one of his CD+Gs on David Bowie Dies At Age 69 (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    See, it's already worth ten times what TWX was willing to pay!

  15. Re:Who gives a shit on David Bowie Dies At Age 69 (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Nerds play D&D. Labyrinth was fantasy, much like a D&D game. So I guess it kinda explains why this is tech news.

  16. Re:Most of the ppl on /. on David Bowie Dies At Age 69 (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    People with real music playback software only have to type "David Bowie" in the search field.

  17. Re:I had one of his CD+Gs on David Bowie Dies At Age 69 (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Now that he's dead, that special CD is probably worth 10 if not 100 times more.

  18. Re:"Could" on New WiFi HaLow Protocol May Bring Old Security Issues With It · · Score: 1

    To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

  19. Re:Holy shit this is the first I've heard of this! on David Bowie Dies At Age 69 (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    There's only 27 mentions of "David Bowie" on their main page. Is that normal for the BBC?

  20. Re:seems rather myopic of microsoft. on K-12 CS Efforts Earn Microsoft CEO Ringside Seat For State of the Union Address · · Score: 4, Funny

    Boys can keep themselves amused for hours on something very small...

    Well, it's not that small.

    They don't know it's available to them? What the hell does that even mean?

    I think it means "PC load letter".

    Then how do you explain this martian skin cream against spider bites?

  24. Re:Holy shit this is the first I've heard of this! on David Bowie Dies At Age 69 (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Because he was a rebel that supported the fall of music labels, the media ignored his death.

    That, or the real Goblin King is involved and we're not supposed to know about it.
