  1. Re:I'm not your stepping stone on Do 'Ultracool' Brown Dwarfs Surround Us? · · Score: 1
    This is me NOT going on a Stross-fueled rant about sentient-packet network repeaters orbiting brown dwarfs.

    "If a programmer tells you to use vim or emacs, tell them, "No." These editors are for when you are a better programmer. All you need right now is an editor that lets you put text into a file. We will use gedit because it is simple and the same on all computers. Professional programmers use gedit so it's good enough for you starting out."

    Can't beat that.

  3. Re:It's worse than that. Very flaky players on Bitcoin Price Crashes · · Score: 1
    One of the main differences between Mt. Gox and a regular bank is we are actually hearing about someone breaching security and robbing the safe at Mt. Gox. A "real" bank would hide it and cry.

    Disclaimer: I have some bitcoins.

    Disclaimer: I think Eugene Zamyatin should get all the profits from the sales of "Anthem". :-)

  6. Re:Irony on Assange Handed Sydney Peace Medal · · Score: 1

    But you forget he is one of the happy few born with the ability to sing the "brown note". I think he and Tipper attended Dead shows in the hopes that he could bum rush the stage and cause a massive, septic outfreakage, man.

    HOPE for the best.
    PREPARE to be disappointed.

  8. Re:I am disappoint on Kepler May Uncover Numerous Ring Worlds · · Score: 1

    People always forget Don Quixote's child who took over that mill. She became the head of a large oat-grinding fortune and was one of the unsung heroines of protestantism, an early Quaker in fact. Her name?

    "Let's stick with chess."

  13. Re:Santa Claus? on Intel Unveils 10-Core Xeon Processors · · Score: 1

    I always see "Nehalem" as "Nifelheim". Some wish to put Christ back in Christmas, I want to put Santa Claus back in the Apocrypha.

    Only if they cut their hair. Seriously, don't mess with long haired Hebraic types carrying the jaw bone of an ass. It's murder on property values.
