  1. Re:Do literary awards matter? on Why Is Science Fiction Snubbed By Literary Awards? (galacticbrain.com) · · Score: 1

    I often think that the awards ought to go to the editor more often than not.

  8. Huzzah for Verizon on How Tech Companies Are Responding To Hurricane Matthew (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    A Verizon spokesperson says drone-enabled connectivity has "set the stage" for connecting drones to their IoT platform next year.

    Sounds cool. I mean, what could possibly go wrong with that.

    If The Donald says that average men talk that way, it must be true, of course!

    What Tatars? I don't see any Tatars...

  11. Looking to Trump as a saviour from corruption is like believing that you can extinguish a fire by dousing it with gasoline.

    If Trump actually represents anything other than being a poster child for the Me Me Me Generation, it's that, in his world, anything and everything IS FOR SALE. If that looks a lot like the definition of "corruption"...? Perhaps there's a reason for that.

    I won't try to speak for His Whollyness, but I am pretty sure you are merely projecting.

  16. Don't you mean "RMN"?

  17. Actually, Asimov first wrote of it (and quite possibly did a better job of exploring it) here.

  18. And how's the weather in Langley today?

  19. Do *you* go to every tech website and paste the same shitty comment, thinking yourself so very clever?

    (You're not.)

  20. Next time remember to log in, Donald. Then you'll get modded up for this for sure.

    When people buy an appliance rather than a computer, they get what they get.
