  1. Er, so your saying, it's drones all the way down?

    Basic to asic, I liked his comp, with "two fans like a Charger game!"

    Ah I was waiting for that tulip comment. Please explain how similar tulip bulbs and bitcoins are.

    I hear there's a newsletter you can subscribe to.

  6. Re:oh, so you want to take calls on your 'phone'? on iPhone X Bug Leaves Some Users Unable To Answer Calls (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Ditto. Also, I notice a preference for people nowadays to *not* use phones as a phone.

    True. It is however tax avoidance.

    That's your Tax Avoidance dollars at work.

    Ivan! It's Superbowl Sunday! Can't you have a *little* reverence!

    Does it ever get tiring thinking up ways to shoehorn your Trump-hate into literally everything that ever happens in the world, or as a symptom of your pathological obsession is it a purely subconscious act that requires no noticeable effort on your part?

    I know, it's tiring. Samo with the old Obama hate, I couldn't figure out why any and every topic would be politicized, before that it was Bush hate...etc.

    It appears that hate is recursive.

    When I'm rough-around-the-edges and talk/joke around as such, where's the tolerance for ME?

    Yeah, that's where it breaks done, doesn't it.

    Thanks. I thought it meant what it used to mean: machine language. Assembly, or something of the sort.

  14. They should make a movie about him, starring Randy Quaid.

    Yes, somebody else posted a link to the actual PH telegram. I stand corrected.

    I have read about your hosts file program elsewhere on the net, along with some bizarre comments about your weird behavior on Slashdot. I was on the edge of purchasing your software, but reading this comment has made me reconsider. Thank you, I guess. You saved me some money.

    No, no, no! That comment was simply a drill. See the part at the end, "all talk & no action"? That signifies that this was a practice comment. In the event of a real hosts file anomaly, you would be directed to your nearest governmental DNS resolver.

    I blame Hollywood. Yes. How many TV shows and movies blare "THIS IS NOT A DRILL" to make things sound super important and serious? I chuckle every time.

    Military folk, back me up here: in any of the drills that you experienced during your service, has the phrase "this is a drill" or "this is not a drill" ever occurred?

  18. Re:Emoji is plural. on Lawyers Faced With Emojis and Emoticons Are All \_("/)_/ (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Frankly I thought emoji was already plural, with the singular being "emojus", of course.

  19. Re:The circle of fascism on 'How We Made Starship Troopers' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Paul Verhoeven misinterpets Heinlen's work as fascist and makes a movie that satirizes fascism, which in turn gets many people upset at Verhoeven for glorifying fascism.

    Interesting.

    "I even put one in an SS uniform. But no one noticed"
    I noticed and thought it was stupid. Besides having bugs and humans, it was obvious that very little of the book made it to the movie.
    Great bugs, though.

  21. Re: Back to full fascism with the Dims on 'How We Made Starship Troopers' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Given what liberals have done to the country, who can blame them? If I have to choose between liberals and Nazis, give me the Nazis.

    And this is how we get a Hitler, ladies and gentlemen.

  22. In the sentence "decided to have a look for the present of secret military satellites", Ed should prolly change "present" to "presence".
