  1. Re:Sun logo on Nearby Star Is Sun's Long-Lost Sibling (syfy.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Indeed, both instances are messed-up. I mean, wrong logos attached to stories? Extremely easy-to-spot duplicate stories?

    The more of these problems pop up, the more I think there's no one left at the wheel and everything is script-driven around here.

  2. Sun sibling? on Nearby Star Is Sun's Long-Lost Sibling (syfy.com) · · Score: 1

    Does it also have an Earth sibling, too?

    So what you're saying is that Earth's properties are a pretty big coincidence...

    TL;DR

    Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space. - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

    There has been plenty of time for the stars formed at the same time and place to drift apart.

    Maybe they should sign up for a social media account. It would allow them to get closer again.

    Really? I thought it was plates.

    You win the Internet for today, my good sir.
    Please take care of it and don't drop it! The elders would not be amused.

    Well, the on-board batteries will have less energy in them, so there's that.

  11. Re:half of a statement on Apple iPhone Supplier Foxconn Planning Deep Cost Cuts (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe once iPhone profits start to fall even more they'll start listening to what their Mac users are asking for.

    Nobody asked for thinner laptops. Nobody asked for that fucking butterfly keyboard. Nobody asked to remove all USB-A ports.

  12. Re: Chromium's available on ARM under linux alread on Microsoft, Google and Qualcomm Working On Chrome For Windows On ARM (9to5google.com) · · Score: 1

    Chromium is just regular Chrome with more flavour, hence its name: Chrome-Yum.

  13. They have to sell "gaps", obviously. What kind of gaps they are, and gaps of what, I have no idea.

    You're both morons. The Super Nintendo Entertainment System is the superior gaming system.

    Looking at jwhyche's ID, I'm not sure it's a good idea... Are you trying to send him to jail?

    Will all the replies to your comment be in the form of a question?

  17. I've never even seen a "Gap" store.

  18. Maybe it is partly Google's fault. How long did it take for them to react and remove the offending applications?

  19. Re:Did anyone else get it with ICEY? on Valve Quietly Discontinues Steam Link Hardware Production (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not a metroidvania style game, but if you do not like pixel art games, don't even look at Kingdom: New Lands.

    Axiom Verge is a pretty good metroidvania style game.

    Don't worry, it's fish by-products and waste from the food industry!

    Although as a vegan, I find that as sick as directly using fish as cruise ship fuel.
