I was catching up on Compute's Gazettes, & in one they "report" on the "Dodleston ghost" hoax where a BBC Micro left alone MYSTERIOUSLY had messages from the 17th & 22nd C, wooo-ooo, spoooky, eh kids?

The idiot reporting this, their partner's a spooky story writer. The con man who reported on it, does haunted house nonsense.

You can put files ON a FLOPPY DISK! MUST BE TIME TRAVEL GHOSTS!

Might be the dumbest thing I read yesterday. Day's young so today could still beat it.

(update stream)

I keep the feed muted until it gets close, buncha vapid stuff right now. We'll hear from better NSF & NASA people in a bit.

Nervous as fuck about this launch, I don't trust SLS at all.

Dumb article: COBOL is asbestos!
Writer: I also can't assemble IKEA, which can infamously be done right by a chimp with one good thumb.

COBOL does the job to be done just fine. It's not Comp Sci, but a valid if ugly banking/business tool.

We need a minimum competence test before people are allowed to write articles.
