    I was afraid that was going to be confusing, given my nick. It was definitely the "set +u" joke I was going for.

    That wouldn't have caused an overflow (actually carry) at 32767 + 1, so it must have been a 15-bit machine.

    I know how you feel. The conflation of South Korea, robots and flowers makes this a meme goldmine.

    In South Korea, only old people welcome their new robotic overlords.
    Where have all the robots gone? Girls have picked them every one. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
    What's in a name? That which we call a robot by any other name would smell as sweet.
    Take time to smell the robots.
    A robot is a robot is a robot.
    She loves me. BZZZZT! She loves me not. HMMMMZZZ! She loves me. ZZZZ! <pop!>

    And my personal favorite:

    In Soviet Russia, robotic flowers smell YOU!

    I'll point out that they've had a big anti-trust target painted on their foreheads (both in the US and the EU) for a long long time now. I'm sure they actually do spend a lot of time making sure they don't run afoul of the local regulators, watchdog groups and newspapers.

    Having said that, Microsoft?? Ethics??? hahahahaha LET THE BASHING BEGIN! Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of assholes!

    Yeah. There was an article in Readers Digest a few months ago about "hypermiling" or whatever, and it was a case study in "I'm the only person on the road". Incredibly arrogant and self-centered.

    No, the GP wasn't some twitter-wannabe. It was me, I just get irritated by clueless moderation. The AC was just to avoid an offtopic hit myself.

  25. It WILL happen one day on Unbelievably Large Telescopes On the Moon? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Since the "dark" side of the moon is protected from the radio emissions from Earth, I think it's inevitable that the dark side will one day be "the" spot for big radio telescope arrays. Why not put our biggest optical telescope there as well?
