  1. Re:What the hell is a "child predator"? on YouTube Will Disable Comments on Nearly All Videos With Kids (variety.com) · · Score: 2

    What the hell is "bullshit"? Is there an actual bovine inside my screen taking a dump?

  2. the dawn of the floppy disk on America's Cities Are Running on Software From the '80s (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    would be 1971. I wonder if these computers and related stuff could be sold to vintage nerds like Curious Marc for example?

  3. My side-business repairing Commodore Plus 4s and Atari Falcons is safe!

  4. maybe make it run at a few 100 MHz, or upgrade to the 65816 architecture.... I think I'd rather have that.

  5. will it run on the amiga?

  6. Re:Probably a good idea on Trump Directs Pentagon To Create Space Force Legislation for Congress (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    I mean what makes sense to do in space we already do: shoot up cameras and radios that mostly point back down at us.

    Sometimes we send cameras with radios further out for our amusement to get some pictures.

    Space gets us information. Planet, singular, THIS one, gets us food, water, and air.

    Yes. The military is a socialist outfit. Do you not see this?

    Tell me, where does the military get its money from? Who competes with the military? Where is the market pressure?

    So why do you disparage socialism? You love your military and its silly toys? But you have a problem with roads and water?

    "I can't even follow what you're trying to say. "

    Your sig is barely better.

    "Socialism: a lie told by totalitarians"

    What lie? Which totalitarians? My Canadian health care is socialized, it's a lie? I'm a fool for having a medicare card so I can be rolled into a hospital?

    I don't get you or your sig.

  8. Middle-age or Middle-aged? on Middle-Age Men Who Can Do 40+ Push-Ups Have Lower Heart Disease Risk, Study Finds (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm pretty sure the fact that a man in the 1300s could do push ups has little to do with my health?

    "You do understand the the Air Force has a large group of people who launch and use spy satellites, right?"

    Strange. That's socialism at work right there. I guess socialism is OK when it benefits large corporations. As long you get crumbs, right?

    You are a weird WEIRD person.

    Even if rockets are free, what kind of things make sense to do in space?

    Seriously, I keep hearing this. And for someone with such a funny view of socialism, pray tell; what is it that got you your precious Moon landing in 1969?

    The invisible hand? The Free Market? Pilgrims?

    Answer: the same thing that got you your interstate highways and municipal drinking water.

  11. Re:Maybe game companies can make stuff that is goo on Major Games Publishers Are Feeling The Impact Of Peaking Attention (midiaresearch.com) · · Score: 1

    You can still play old games. Loderunner and Sword of Fargoal are two games that are nice and slow and boring and entirely addictive. Loderunner especially, it's like a one-Lemming Lemmings with only one tool and the other Lemmings are trying to kill you.

  12. Re:What's in a name on James Cameron's Alita: Battle Angel Released After Sixteen Years (rottentomatoes.com) · · Score: 1

    Alita is french for "chosen one".

    Not in the french I speak... It's not even a word, the closest would be a word meaning bedridden or "forced bed rest".

    Thank you. I was thinking someone snuck decaf into my cup.

    But lights on a runway are a lifesaver.

  15. Re:Anybody serious would be at Amundsen–Scot on Mars One is Dead (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    That's OK, there's nothing to breathe so you simply suffocate before you can feel "less thermal loss".

  16. Re:30 years old? on Software Engineer Loses Life Savings in Quadriga Imbroglio (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    How do you figure? He got a job at age 23 that allowed him to put aside 60K a year in the most expensive area in the US?

    He must have been making 150000 to 200000 a year before taxes right after college and lived in a trailer. Humbly. ...and then he plowed everything into a risky crypto-currency?

    No, sorry, it doesn't add up.

  17. "not that every language doesn't have it's own intricacies"

    Yeah, about that...

  18. Re:Different format from US comics on In France, Comic Books Are Serious Business (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    One of the greatest realistic Belgian comic book heroes is Gil Jourdan. The first volume still reads fresh today.

    I like Gaston Lagaffe... Quebec also produced Red Ketchup....

  20. Re:Wait before you draw conclusions on US, China Take the Lead in Race For AI: UN (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I think it means "Annual Inflation" of capabilities and promises.
    Since our society seems to be based on the flow of money, and all our physical needs have been met a long time ago, we have to find new ways to get that money moving.
    Fads, fashions, trends... aren't just for clothes!

  21. No mention of GEOS for the 64? on Meet the Guy Who Holds the Guinness World Record For Collecting Spreadsheets (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Bringing a graphical spreadsheet with graphing capability on a 64 was a tour de force. Not mentioned in this article?

    Here's a weird little web page about it

    Yeah, hilarious. I just spent the weekend with no internet because the cold weather somehow affected the cabling here. I can live with that but of course I won't get a credit since I am with a bandwidth re-seller, they simply shoveled the blame up to Bell.

  24. Well of course on US CEOs Are More Worried About Cybersecurity Than a Possible Recession (fortune.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Even in a recession they still get their golden parachute, but a IT breach could reveal their porn browsing habits
