  1. Re:Marillion was first on Why Amanda Palmer Left the Music 'Industry' For Crowdfunding (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    I suppose one of them was a concept album inspired by the Matrix sequels?

  2. Frost betterave tosp! on Slashdot Asks: Should Businesses Switch To Biometric Passwords? (hbr.org) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No.

  3. Re: Hackers Paradise on China Is On Track To Fully Phase Out Cash (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I suspect that the military have quite a few exemptions from normal employment laws.

  4. Re:anarchy enables fascism on HBO's 'Silicon Valley' Joins The Push For A Decentralized Web (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    But that's the hard problem: how do you govern without setting yourself up as a state, or else letting someone else get away with doing so?

    We could take it in turns to sort of act as a sort of executive officer for the week. All the decisions of that officer would have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, anything else requires a two-thirds majority.

  5. Re:Marillion was first on Why Amanda Palmer Left the Music 'Industry' For Crowdfunding (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Marillion still existed in 1996? I thought they did four albums and disappeared in the 1980s.

  6. Re:Why is industry in quotes? on Why Amanda Palmer Left the Music 'Industry' For Crowdfunding (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    At least he didn't put [sic] after it, which seems to be a growing trend. Fortunately, it isn't growing in a literally exponential way.

  7. I think it likely also points out the problems with homogeneous systems...centralized systems, and such mandated by the government.

    I'm sure private sector companies all happily undertake the additional expense & complication of developing & running entirely separate systems for each branch/office.

    But remind me, who do you work for?

  8. hipgnosis on The Failed Experiment of the Digital Album Booklet (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    One word: hipgnosis.

    Millenials are mourning the loss of the CD booklet?

  9. Re:Ok, who has the time machine? on Blocked From US Tech Investing, China Goes To Israel Instead (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    No, you're thinking of macaroni.

    A Macron is someone from North Africa.

  10. Turns out, most things are named after their actual characteristics.

    And it turns out that there are exceptions. You can name two now I've educated you.

  11. Re:Wipe it on HP Issues Fix For Keylogger Found On Several Laptop Models (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Never ever do a reinstall on your only available computer.

  12. Re:What do you mean? on Trump Signs Executive Order On Cybersecurity (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    On time there was a mistake and the announcer read out next year's results.

  13. It says green in the name of Greenland.

    It's mostly white.

  14. If you don't, it cancels your medical insurance.

  15. /|\ Found the spoon-fed millenial on 'The Traditional Lecture Is Dead' (wired.com) · · Score: 0

    Even a dimmy can read about twice as fast as someone (modulo racing commentators & auctioneers) can speak. Lectures are plain inefficient.

    If you're stuck you ask your mates or you bring it up in the Q&A session. That's what they're for.

    Lazy would be not having any contact hours at all.

  16. Re:What do you mean? on Trump Signs Executive Order On Cybersecurity (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump doesn't need them any more. Now he's in, he'll be able to rig the next election by himself.

    That's if there is a next election...

  17. Re:No no no NO NO NO NO on New Windows Look and Feel, Neon, Is Officially the 'Microsoft Fluent Design System' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    A mouse has two or more buttons

    Old Mac ones didn't.

    This is because the kind of people who own Macs would press the wrong one.

  18. Re:Not exactly 'wiping' the hard drive on Call Center Operator and His Cousin Steal $645,000 From UK Water Supplier (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    They aren't very good at jokes, either. At least not intentional ones.

  20. Re:get rid of tenure on 'The Traditional Lecture Is Dead' (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    The whole point of getting tenure is so that you can avoid teaching.

    Bloody students. Education - at all levels - would run much more smoothly without them.

  21. Re:wrong.... on 'The Traditional Lecture Is Dead' (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming that "lecture" implies it's at a university? They take the register?

  22. Re:wrong.... on 'The Traditional Lecture Is Dead' (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    If you took a lecture on how to mark quotes it was an utter waste of time.

    "A lecture is a method of transferring words from the professor's page to the student's without passing through the brain of either." -- One of my University professors.

    He used the lecture time for Q&A or group discussions.

  24. Wrong. Eagle did.

    I know your mom drives you everywhere so perhaps you don't get the concept, but Neil Armstrong was, and is almost universally billed as, the first man to walk on the moon.

  25. There's plenty in Ireland, so go and feck yerself. I doubt you could even point to Ireland if you were standing on it, you fat cunt.
