  1. Yeah, maybe by 1980 they'll get the moonbase finished.

    SHADO is working on that in the past, even as we speak!

  2. Re:I checked on Ubuntu Torrent Removed From Google Due To DMCA Complaint (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    I'm not sure which release it was... Was there an epic battle between systemd and /etc/init?

  3. How about a link to the Linux Mint page? on Linux Mint 18 KDE Now Available (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    Throw in "In the Pale Moonlight" from DS9.

  5. Re:If one employee had done this on Wells Fargo Fires 5,300 Employees For Creating Millions of Phony Accounts (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    Question 2: How many of those 5300 ex-employees will face criminal charges for identity theft?

  6. And YOUR employer feels exactly the same way about you.

    Exactly. Ever since the rootkit fiasco, Sony has been on my shit list.

    Don't forget Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series. The Ares was essentially built from Shuttle ETs.

    Whoosh...

    640K should be enough for anyone.

    64 processes should be enough for anyone!

    Systemd would be a a great OS... all it needs is a decent init system.

  12. Dumb question... on Oracle Is Funding a New Anti-Google Group (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Wasn't Java GPL'ed? Is Dalvik derived from the GPL version, or the re-closed Oracle version?

  13. Re:Too little, too late. on Microsoft PowerShell Goes Open Source and Lands On Linux and Mac (pcworld.com) · · Score: 2

    Clearly PowerShell is intended to manage systemd.

  14. Seriously, though... is it bad that this was my first thought upon reading the headline?

  15. Has anyone asked Hank Scorpio what his opinion of this is?

  16. Re:How much for a de-gorped phone? on Verizon Offered To Install Marketers' Apps Directly On Subscribers' Phones (adage.com) · · Score: 1

    It was an older 3G phone (I think -- it's been a while), and then I got a SIM card for an assistive voice device, which would never get more than 1 bar (if I was lucky).

    How can I try it out without buying one?

    Also if you're familiar with the area, I'm in the west San Fernando Valley, if it helps.

    Some people who live in areas without good coverage from T-Mobile, considered the most customer-friendly U.S. carrier, may choose Verizon or Sprint in order to avoid AT&T, the U.S. carrier with the worst customer service.

    I fall into this category. I do not live in the boonies... I live INSIDE the LA City Limits... and I tried T-Mobile and got no signal. I would drop Verizon like a rock if I could get T-Mobile coverage at my house.

  18. Re:LOL! Serves them right! on Wrong Chemical Dumped Into Olympic Pools Made Them Green (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Wasn't L.A. the only one in recent(!) memory to turn a profit?

    And that was probably because everything was already there... The Coliseum, Pauly Pavillion, the Sports Arena (RIP), The Forum, the Rose Bowl...

    I think the only thing that really had to be built was the aquatic center, and I think USC covered most of that.

    I figured that this was only going to work when on a dynamometer. And they'd just have a defeat device to fake it for real-word driving.

    There are those of us who watched the series on Black & White TV.

    I'm tempted to ask you to hand in your geek card, but you're probably too young to remember the series.
