It's clearly meant to be overly twee. That's what makes it funny. It's also why it's so short.

I quite liked it!

Dating advice for girls on /. - I never thought I'd see the day.... ;)

The problem I have with the US date format is simply that it's often ambiguous when used on the internet - it being international and all.

The way people "say" dates is fine, so if someone likes "May 10th" or "10th of May", I'm easy - there's no ambiguity. But writing 05/10/2014 on a website is a bit crap because it is ambiguous. Either go with writing the month name or 3-letter abbrev. or go with ISO format 2014-05-10 - you're still allowed to say it in whatever order you like! So when I read an ISO format date, in my head, I'm not saying "twenty-fourteen oh-five ten" - I still read it as 10th of May.

I'm wondering how they got caught anyway. The radar profile on that thing probably wouldn't be hight given that presumably only the tiny engine would be metal plus a few odd bits, and it likely would've flown fairly low.

The other graphs on Netcraft pretty much answer this:

Web server developers: Market share of active sites = looks like MS is on a slight downward trend.

Web server developers: Market share of the top million busiest sites = looks like MS is on a slight downward trend.

And in both of those graphs, Apache is far and away holding the biggest share, *and* Nginx is ahead of MS. But let's face it, we all knew that anyway.

Doesn't need any shutdown scripts though so that'll save space!

Should be off by default.

I don't think Apples vague maybe/maybe-not support policies really help much.

Having quickly skimmed over TFA, I strongly suspect that the "cement-like fluids on Mars" were what caused the fall of the Martian Empire.

I love the photos, but I'd also like an article about the machines they restored/re-built/hacked to recover this stuff.

According to this article, it seems that many of the people who do survive, do so because the flights were shorter.

Might also be useful if you wanted to pass data through the router without being noticed?

They'll use this to fund attacks on hair salons in London!!

I have a Sharp EL-506P calculator that is approx. 28 years old that I still use *and* it's still on it's original batteries!

You are having deja-vu.
