  1. Frosty Piss! on The Long Reach of Windows 95 · · Score: 1

    Well would have been if I didn't have a fucking bastard BSOD. Twice.

  2. Re:OMG, thats what they did! on F-35 To Face Off Against A-10 In CAS Test · · Score: 1

    Partially right. Except warthogs are fairly intelligent, go like shit off a stick and I for one wouldn't dream of taking one on with a slingshot - or indeed anything less than a Lee Enfield with a WWI bayonet (none of those puffy little things that you can barely open a can with).

    And even then I'd be shitting myself. Lions think twice before fucking about with an adult one.

    the pilots will turn the boat anchor into a weapon

    I can just picture this.

    A10 Approaches tank.
    Tank commander: Ooooooh shiiiit!
    A10 Overflies tank.
    Tank commander: Phew!
    *CLUNK*
    Tank is now thirty feet from where it was. And upside down.

    I think he was having a dig at how flat Ohio is. The highest mountain there is like a speed bump.

  5. Re:So it's not unlimited, then... on T-Mobile Starts Going After Heavy Users of Tethered Data · · Score: 1

    Isn't that why ads sometimes have E&OE - Errors And Omissions Excepted - basically a get-out?

  6. Re:Not a new idea on "McKinley" Since 1917, Alaska's Highest Peak Is Redesignated "Denali" · · Score: 1, Troll

    It'd be like Trump buying Pike's Peak and renaming it Trump's Peak or something.

    If that happens I suspect I won't be the only one photoshopping a squashed cat onto the summit.

  7. Re:pros and cons on F-35 To Face Off Against A-10 In CAS Test · · Score: 3, Interesting

    WW2 went on for 6 years, and you got roughly two generations of planes. I suspect a modern war against a proper opponent might not go on long enough to actually produce new models - you'll fight with what you've got at the start.

    P.S. I'm not talking about the scenario where it's over in a few hours.

  8. Well on T-Mobile Starts Going After Heavy Users of Tethered Data · · Score: 5, Funny

    if "inflammable" and "flammable" mean the same thing then why not "limited" and "unlimited"?

  9. Re:He has a track record of such things on Systemd Absorbs "su" Command Functionality · · Score: 1

    You can't really separate the two. If the two things dbIII (701233) mentioned go tits up it's an inconvenience; you use ifconfig and the like, you do without sound until you reboot.

    However if something as major as your init system breaks you could well end up with an unbootable system. Having someone who's known to be a bit of a cowboy fiddling with that doesn't sound prudent to me.

  10. Re:Are you trying to imply that systemd is faster? on Systemd Absorbs "su" Command Functionality · · Score: 1

    Flinging poo at systemd is like yelling "get a horse!" when seeing a car, back in the 1900s.

    You mean it's the sensible thing to do?

    When systemd reaches the level of, say, a 1930s car then get back to me.

  11. Re:A-10 for the Win on F-35 To Face Off Against A-10 In CAS Test · · Score: 3, Funny

    You're too kind.

  12. Re:A-10 for the Win on F-35 To Face Off Against A-10 In CAS Test · · Score: 5, Funny

    The point is that F-35 was sold as a "multirole" airplane, to replace F-16 and A-10.

    Makes perfect sense - it's equal to the F-16 for air-to-ground and almost as good a fighter as the A-10.

  13. Re:Not/Linux on Systemd Absorbs "su" Command Functionality · · Score: 1

    "Poettering's Operating System" sums it up, but it's a little long. No doubt someone with an imagination will come up with an abbreviation in time.

  14. Re: Brought about by the internet? on Germany Wants Facebook To Obey Its Rules About Holocaust Denial · · Score: 0

    As if ONE country - and a small one to boot - proves YOUR point, lardy. You supporting Bush or Trump?

  15. Re:Betteridge's law of headlines says ... no on Do We Need More Emojis? · · Score: 1

    Would you smile if you were being repressed? No, you wouldn't. So clearly it's male, and you're a rapist.

  16. Re:unicameralism on Do We Need More Emojis? · · Score: 1

    The terminology for upper and lower case didn't even exist before the printing press was reinvented in Europe

    Clearly that terminology didn't exist, since that derives from the boxes printers kept their type in. However the concept did, as can clearly be seen here: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmh... Perhaps you're thinking of the Romans?

    I never saw much sense in mixing majuscule and minuscule scripts to denote proper nouns or the start of a sentence.

    I never saw much sense in referring to things that don't pee, either standing or sitting, as "he" or "she". But I doubt the French and Italians will invent a neuter gender for my convenience.

  17. Re:couldn't hurt on Do We Need More Emojis? · · Score: 1

    I consider that a feature, not a bug.

  18. Re:Over 30 years? on The View From 2015: Integrated Space Plan's 100-Year Plan · · Score: 1

    You might write "not greater" as "equal", but some of us are aware of a thing called "less than".

    If that's the case then why doesn't he just fuck off and build his own OS from the ground up? Should only take him a week.
