  1. Re:Isn't it ironic on Iconic Star Wars Actress Carrie Fisher Dies at 60 (people.com) · · Score: 1

    So you're bearing false witness?

    None of us actually believe that 2016 is some sort of malignant entity. We just identify patterns and make a narrative to help deal with the negative things that happen.

    Unlike others who really do believe in talking burning bushes, crackers turning into human flesh and horses flying to heaven. And are willing to kill others to "prove" it. Or use it as an excuse to abuse children, mistreat women.

    Happy Holidays!

    In this case the multiple endpoints were likely the legitimate users. They tested for around 1M submissions per hour (reports vary from 750,000 to 1,500,000). There are 15M total expected users. My bet is that some significant amount got home from work, had some dinner, then attempted to use the site.

    A torp launcher, cruise launcher, a heavy assault launcher, a heavy launcher, a rocket launcher, a light missile launcher, a shield booster, an armor repairer, a hull repairer, a 1MN afterburner, a 10MN afterburner, a 100MN afterburner.....

    I was going to moderate this.
    But then I couldn't work out if it thought it mostly Flamebait, Troll, Redundant, Insightful, Interesting, Informative or Funny.

  13. Re:Approaching the problem from the outside in. on Nanotech Makes Steel 10x Stronger · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Cheaty like refining iron from ore instead of just using the sharp rocks and strong branches you find laying around?

    but they also made less than impressive stuff like Syndicate, so it's a bit of a mixed bag.
