Don't ask me why I have an industrial machine controller lying around...
The forums don't even look that bad under Lynx- *is shot*

I've found there are two kinds of sysadmins, ones who find the error light on the front of a piece of equipment to be physically painful, and ones who don't even know their equipment have error lights.
Well this sucks. Next thing you know MiffTheFox might be crawling back.
And a markdown link is probably the worst link syntax either invented: the URL wrapped in parentheses followed by the text wrapped in square brackets, although it might be other way around, and I might have the brackets backwards. Markdown's supposedly this great natural language but I can't wrap my head around the link syntax.
Don't even get me started on the abuses of Markdown you'll find on Reddit.
My favorite thing about Sourceforge is that if you try to download without referrers enabled, you end up in an infinite loop, but copy/pasting the direct download link into something like wget works fine.
The study also found that students shunned search engines in favor of typing what they think is the right site directly into the address bar, such as Georgewashington.com. When they did use a search engine, they skipped right over legitimate pages ”because it didn’t look like what they had in mind,” Leu said.
“That’s what children do with their rock stars and their other cultural stars. They are accustomed to typing in the name and adding ‘.com.’ That often doesn’t work for real academic research,” Leu said.
I call bullshit. People actually do the opposite of what the article says, Googling for something as simple as "facebook login".
Apple went to shit when Steve Jobs died. TouchWiz has always been terrible.
AOSP master race.
Technically it's using canvas tags, which means, that it works in browsers that support canvas but not CSS font embedding, which are, um... Firefox 3 and Opera Mini.
How dare anybody not support those browsers.

Currently my avatar phase is "screencaps from Digimon".
I'm pretty sure this is the current topic of the thread.

Which was put on to his system by a binary he ran without disassembling it.
TRWTF is that he didn't look into the batch file after it failed to do anything. He's not even on Linux where he gets no hint that it needs to be run from a console. It would take all of fifteen seconds for a serious Windows user to run it from a shell and look at the output.
I was a huge Homestuck nerd a few years ago and instituted a system of naming systems after locations in Homestuck, either directly (Skaia, Prospit, Alternia) or indirectly (Clockwork, Haze, Shade). Embedded devices get named after planes from Magic the Gathering (Zendikar, Lorwyn). I also have some devices inherited from my roommate who names them after Latin names for animals.
My SSIDs are unreadable jumbles of Unicode symbols because I'm a jerk like that.
I think the reasoning is so that platforms don't try to replace the icons with their own versions. Private use characters can't be taken out of context (which is what your script does when it tries to render the SoftBank emoji).

That reminds me of the device drivers for Windows that literally use a toaster icon.
Ah, the wonders of barely-modified code samples.
Since it only happens during extended periods of inactivity, interrupting the user is a non-issue. Leaving your browser open to a single topic for hours is Doing It Wrong.
I don't think I've seen a "lots of tabs open indefinitely, have a tab for every site you regularly visit" vs "tabs should be closed when they're done with, use bookmarks/speed dials for sites you regularly visit" flamewar on here before.
I'm in the short-lived tab camp btw.

The sites I find annoying are the ones with size 1000 register buttons, and size 1 sign in buttons.
That at least has a semi-rational justification in that most users have only one computer and never clear their cookies or switch browsers. (On their phones, they of course use the native app, which provides a different sign-in UI.)
I don't trust the security of third-party null servers. I prefer to have a single server dedicated to a RFC863 daemon.
It's probably not respecting HTTP_PROXY
because it's a Gnome app, and thus is looking in the registry Gconf for proxy information. Grep around in gconf-editor
for the settings, or just use the Gnome control panel.
