  1. Re:April 1st should be the most important holiday on Microsoft Memo Bans April Fools' Day Pranks (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I love this idea and would mod you up if I could right now.

  2. Fun with Acronyms on NASA's SPHEREx Mission Will Investigate the Origins of the Universe (engadget.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not sure how they manage to get "SPHEREx" out of that full title.

    But I guess SPHUERIE didn't sound catchy enough.

  3. Now if you're counting in septenary, on the other hand...

  4. He obviously meant < 10. Just using the < symbol without the HTML entity code makes Slashdot eat it. This has been well known since the dawn of Slashdot.

    Since your language implies you are absolutely certain you're the smart one, you should already know this.

  5. Re: The problem with DuckDuckGo on DuckDuckGo Denies Using Fingerprinting To Track Its Users (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Either SP is mangling the results or Google is returning different results to the SP servers than it returns directly to users.

    The latter case. Google skews its search results based on the profile it builds of its users. Even the same search on Google might return different results for two different people.

  6. Moosen!

  7. Re:Up to 30 minutes to warn of a "dire threat" on Cellphones Across the US Will Receive a 'Presidential Alert' at 2:18 pm Eastern Today (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The only way to make this more perfect is if it included an overly long intro jingle and a few requests to "Like up this video and leave a comment on where you think the nuke's gonna hit first!"

    "And don't forget to hit that bell icon to make sure you're notified of our next nuke strike!"

  8. Re:good story destroyed by CO2 on Life In the Spanish City That Banned Cars (theguardian.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    By the way less CO2, is less food for the trees...

    Wow, how on earth did trees survive before we built cars, then!?

  9. Vulnerability Detected on Cops Will Soon ID You Via Your Roof Rack (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    general color -- red, blue, green, white and yellow

    Apparently, if you want to sneak past this system... just drive a black car.

  10. Re:All your privacy belong to us! on Gmail's 'Smart Compose' Feature Will Write Emails For You (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Take off every 'ZIG' !!

  11. Re: "Your payment is due even though you can't p on IRS 'Direct Pay' Option Not Working on Tax Day (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    The illiterate were once allowed to sign with âoeXâ.

    Wow, that's a rather complicated string of symbols for someone illiterate.

  12. Brain Heist on Canada Has Pulled Off a Brain Heist (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I've heard of brain heists before. The one that sticks in my mind is the one that resulted in the acquisition of Abby Normal's brain.

  13. Re:Frogs on a log. on Nearly a Third of Tech Workers Are Ready To #DeleteFacebook (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Are you, perhaps, a person with such relatives?

    I'm sure none of us will judge you for it if you "address the situation" and then respond, "Sorry, I don't have a Facebook account anymore. I don't agree with their practices." Sometimes the only way to deal with people who keep up a habit that inconveniences you is simply to make it impossible for it to continue.

  14. Re:Why shouldn't Trump think that way? on Trump's Meeting With The Video Game Industry To Talk Gun Violence Could Get Ugly (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    I have yet to see a game that allows you to kill schoolchildren.

    As much as I love and agree with your entire comment, I should probably address this sentence by pointing out the existence of Yandere Simulator. That said, guns are strictly absent from the game.

  15. "So, Dunn, you were under Oveur and over Unger."

    "Yeah, both Dunn and I were under Oveur, even though I was under Dunn."

  16. They're creepy and they're kooky!

  17. Re:Many veterans end up homeless on Robots Are Being Used To Shoo Away Homeless People In San Francisco (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    NObody expects the Veteran Inquisition!

  18. Re:Why is this so cheap? on Exhausted Amazon Drivers Are Working 11-Hour Shifts For Less Than Minimum Wage (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Yep, you think you're buying a watch and really you're buying aluminum soffit panels.

  19. Re: Hope someone picks it up on Lead Developer of Popular Windows Application Classic Shell Is Quitting · · Score: 1

    I made a folder full of program shortcuts - nicely shortened such as "ch" for Chrome and "ide" for Codeblocks - and added it to my $PATH. Makes it extremely quick to open my common software. As an added bonus, the folder has a shortcut to itself, just called "path," and I can type that to add program shortcuts or remind myself which ones I have.

  20. And then Isaac shot monsters, using his tears as bullets.

  21. Re: his troll-fu is weak on Flat Earther Plans To Launch Homemade Manned Rocket (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Perhaps he means $ ls -ld

  22. Re:I like the pinball machine too on CBS To Reboot 'The Twilight Zone' (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    Welcome to the club! One of my all time favorites, got one myself too. Great game design, if you can forgive the suicidal clock opto board.

  23. Re: Also... on 'Daylight Savings' Is Grammatically Incorrect (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    And try ordering unlockable doors for your building.

    I would hope all the building's doors can be unlocked.

  24. Re:Year of the Linux Desktop, just like last year on Linux Foundation President Used MacOS For Presentation at Open Source Summit (itsfoss.com) · · Score: 1

    Year of the Nuclear Fusion-Powered Linux Desktop?

  25. Re: Are bats really blind? on Why Bats Crash Into Windows (nature.com) · · Score: 1

    Bad jokes? Surely you mean... bat jokes? I'll let myself out now.
