  1. What Are You Ingesting?

    I despise this sort of regulation. Not to mention the people who take advantage of it.

    Avistew! I didn't notice you were back! <3
  3. Story Tuesday, June 14, 2016

    It's a matter of principle. If I start letting my posters randomly demolish parts of the Earth's surface, all the other moderators will laugh at me.
  4. Story Tuesday, June 14, 2016

    Hush you. You are not a moderator. As long as it is a first offence and not too large tracts of land are involved, only one warning point.

    Last I heard they were busy working on a rocket powered pyramid. I understand installing the engines in the Cheops Pyramid is presenting a bit of a challenge.

    I don't care if you are a time traveller. NO summoning Elder Gods, you hear? Not by you and not by your hardware. If I wake up to news headlines that OK has been consumed by an awakening nightmare from beyond time and space, I am SO giving your ass a warning point.

    Compromise. Dan is being a magnificent tapping troll.
  8. Story Tuesday, June 14, 2016

    I blame the cauliflower shortage in Lower Moldavia.

    The Moderator: I would like to remind everyone here that personal insults, ad hominems and snide comments aimed at other posters are not welcome on these forums. Please avoid it. ~tOH.
  10. Things That Are Just Annoying

    A typical mistake. A grammar is ultimately a model of how a language works. And then some idiots enter and insist that the model takes precedence over the reality.
  11. Political Discussion Thread (READ FIRST POST)

    I am very disappointed. I thought Florida would have manatee voting.
  12. What Are You Watching?

    The human eye is very good at pattern and facial recognition. However, it is easy to posit various alien species where we cannot readily tell individuals apart. Insectoids are one such category, protoplasmic blobs are another popular example, floating fields of energy that constantly shift in size, shape and colour would be a third. (And how about Vorlons who actually project specific appearances to individual species?)

    Obviously someone did ask, or this would have been a Non-Questions & Answers.

    Near as I can tell, they are telekinetic tapeworms.
  15. NP Friday June 10, 2016

    Let the Geek flow! It is your destiny.
  16. NP Friday June 3, 2016

    I was just as happy that the forum did not devolve into a rage fest over the bloody midichlorians. (I hate that idea so much.)
  17. Things that make you sad.

    Thank you, Prof. It helps.
  18. Story Tuesday June 7, 2016

    How is it possible to spend way too much time in game designer mode? *scratches head*
  19. OOP CMD Regulations

    AT&T Bell Labs on line two. Something about stolen credit. Borland Software one line one, something about first to market on non UNIX platform. Zortech Software on line three, something about first full ANSI compliance for non UNIX platform. Who do you want to talk to first? And along those lines, a similar event on the last panel of this comic.
  20. Things that make you sad.

    I hate 2016 so much. While not a celebrity, my close friend struggling with cancer has just been informed that the chemotherapy isn't working and that they are stopping it. As a result, it is now only a question of how much time he has left. Three weeks, three months, who can say. *sighs* No, he is not a celebrity. But he is a damned good schoolteacher, he loves his kids, and it is so unfair that they have to lose him. I am really unhappy now.
  21. Things that make you worried.

    Good.. I hope you feel better soon
  22. OOP CMD Regulations

    I have spent some time wondering why religious authorities would make such a ban. Then finally it came to me. Clearly these OOP language functions were created by the Uryuom equivalent of Microsoft, and accordingly the religious authorities pronounced anathema on them.
  23. NP Friday June 3, 2016

    Yes. This means even nuclear devices will have much smaller areas where they inflict damage. In the Babylon 5 movie In The Beginning, Sheridan managed to increase the destructive effect by placing his nukes on asteroids -- the demolished asteroids effectively turned into shrapnel and as a result utterly destroyed the Black Star.

    You could still do it! All you need is to put a real laser into a fake microphone, and voilá!
  25. NP Friday June 3, 2016

    I disagree. It's hard to imagine that they didn't put fake lasers into everything.
