You'd think NASA didn't know about taking baby steps, as if they'd gone to the Moon first and decided to work on that boring stable orbit shit later. They should be growing crabgrass, dandelions, and kudzu first. Shit that you have to fight like hell to get to stop growing. Shit that doesn't care how badly you treat it or how poor the conditions are. Bonus: dandelion leaves and kudzu are edible.

While regolith ain't soil, it can be used as a basic substrate which hearty weeds wouldn't complain about.

Tens of millions spent on new screens which provide less information than the old flippy-type info on upcoming and incoming trains/subways and they're down all the fucking time. ALL the time. Usually with the typical NT error message in a grey box on a blue screen. Or there's a dump and some module names.

Why the FUCK was this broadly released instead of tested and stepped? Even people firing up PrestaShop sites aren't this cavalier.

I can hear someone screaming about how to choose to/for whom and where to release first: how about by acceptance/ratification/support of the program?

So GM is getting back to basics, returning to their old system of charging at multiple tiers for phony differentiation of a base model which is technically inferior to pretty much everything out there. I can't wait for AMC to return with coal-fired Pacers and Gremlins.

It ain't news, especially not nerds who understand the concept of "constant dollars". It certainly ain't any sort of stuff that matters. It's time to change the tagline to:

Look! Shiny!

This place isn't even SCO/GNEW-Lunix advocacy anymore. "Quickies" were long ago ceded to reddiggit and stories about Microsoft are neutral to positive/pleasant. Five bucks says Taco is running Win8.

You should really pay more attention. Do try to keep up.

Because privatisation has worked so well in other countries, as it has in other sectors in Britain.

Follow the money: from whence comes cash the proponents of this collect? If only I'd been in on a stake in "Railtrack", the company which got to own the tracks the broken-up British Rail trains would run on with no requirement to actually maintain them.

It still remains unclear as to exactly why this bill was proposed and what its objectives are.

The objective is to make money for the company which paid into Ben Hueso's campaign fund and which, shocker!!, just happens to make exactly this sort of item or has "key patents" on it. Whenever something smells fishy, follow the money. Just ask yourself, "Who stands to benefit financially from this?" and you'll have your answer.

Are you that mind-blowingly ignorant or are you just so stupid and lazy that you haven't bothered to glance over anything avbout the subject?

Dunning-Kruger is becoming the new Godwin.

Without known-secure hardware and and OS to run it, all the fucking encryption in the world don't mean squat. And before the fanbois scream, "Lunix is Teh Shiznit Seckyoor!" remember that you have to know the compiler is safe as well (*cough*Ken*Thompson*cough*).

So no resale at all rather than the shitty 3% return most campus bookstores pay. No holding onto for future reference. Little ability to gloss notes. And with the money they "save", students will be able to cover almost half of the "general fee" increase this year.

This shit isn't worthy of the label "news" or "current events" or even "docu-romcom-tainment-dramedy". The stupidity isn't even worthy of a mention on Something Awful let alone anyone getting involved.enough to respond with a "Bite me" picture of a hot dog.

...the most pledged-to crowd-funder in history.

Until the next one. And then the one after that. And the next one. And in 10 years comes the next story about constant-dollar successes.

All the while, the actual story is (less spectacularly) "After 25 days Ubuntu Edge only has one-third of $32M goal pledged with five days left."

> Giving him the prize would also 'save the Nobel Peace Prize from the disrepute
>incurred by the hasty and ill-conceived decision to award U.S. President Barack Obama'

What saved them from the disrepute of giving it to Kissinger & Arafat? Forgetfulness?

I expect someone will come up with a collection/extraction script to list all the names of these shill and paid "Vine Reviewers".
