    By the power of arcane magic I can reveal that he used it to schedule his medication.

  2. Sounds like a good idea on Mozilla Puts New Money To Use Fighting For 'Internet Health' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Every dollar wasted on this is a dollar they can't waste on wrecking the UI, adding features nobody wants, and removing ones everybody likes.

    Sounds like a good idea

    Well that's him, then. He rants on about government waste while leeching off it.

  4. W00t a hundredandeleventyone!!!! on Plex Media Player Now Doesn't Require a Subscription; Pass Users Get Kodi Plug-in (engadget.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    I have no idea what any of it means, but I'm sure it's awesome.

  5. I seem to have missed the part where they use data as currency in Blade Runner.

  6. Apart from actual working sysadmins, I'm going to guess that the majority of the smug bastards saying "you should have backed up" don't back up every single day.

    I didn't lose much, but it's still annoying.

  7. Even mildly insinuating that you have moral or religious issues with homosexuality gets you branded a homophobe and recidivist.

    Not sure what word you were looking for there, but you didn't find it.

    But that would be stealing from Disney, you dirty commie hippy!

  12. data seems to be the new currency.

    If there isn't a SciFi novel in that, there must be a decent short story.

  13. It's certainly not in their worst interest to do it. It wouldn't be worth your while suing over it. Multiply that by all the people that use it ...

  14. I agree it's nothing Earth-shattering but it sounds like a sensible idea, given that the last fucking Samsung drive I had died without any warning whatsoever.

  15. Is it as popular as Bennett Haselton?

    You assume he only subscribes or is being subscribed to by people in perfect agreement with all what he is thinking. I don't see on what basis you can assume this.

    White supremacists subscribe to white supremacist websites. Islamicists subscribe to islamicist websites. Cheese eating surrender monkeys who haven't heard of a filter bubble subscribe to slashdot and post ill-informed crap.

    Back in the dial-up days you could access the web (or some of it) through AOL's own app. It looked like an upholstered cushion to me.

    No jobs should, except government contractors. Right?

    Exactly. were, not are.

    The guys who did all that stuff are mostly dead or retired.

    Do you have a map showing affluence? This could be a 'C causes A and B' situation.

  23. Re:And everyone's fuel mileage goes down. on EPA Increases Amount of Renewable Fuel To Be Blended Into Gasoline (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Did you even read the link? It says corn-based fuel ethanol.

    It certainly isn't the case for all ethanol. Brazil was using ethanol back when they neither had oil nor the money to pay for it.

    In the rural midwest salaries might top at 55k with the average being $35-45k. In Dallas that range is more $85k-150k

    Already debunked. In theory at least - see Requirement 4.

    As I said before, there's no need for any new rules - they just need to enforce the existing ones properly.
