We can’t vouch for the quality of all of the Amiga titles that were recently posted up on Archive.org, but there sure as heck are a lot of them – 10,000+, by the site’s count, including favorites as Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, King’s Quest and Double Dragon, along with what looks to be a fair amount of redundancy. Oh, that's why news has been slow today

I feel your pain. I was looking for Dungeon Master.
Wasn't Star Raiders on Atari? I thought I remembered wearing out a joystick with that?

Tantalizing hints have regularly turned up to indicate the existence of a sterile neutrino—a theoretical fourth type of neutrino separate from the three predicted by the Standard Model. OMG! We're being fertilized by neutrinos from space! Panic!

A pair of security researchers recently uncovered a Nigerian scammer ring that they say operates a new kind of attack called “wire-wire” after a few of its members accidentally infected themselves with their own malware. Hoist with their own petard

Ya know, you gotta wonder if my little escapade from a few months ago is the reason this happened.
I got an email from a scammer requesting info, so I sent them an attachment (that I renamed to indicate it was "my info") that I received from another scammer a week or so earlier.

 Oh, that is brilliant! Even if we can't give you credit for taking them down, I'm totally stealing that bit of brilliance. Thank you.

Developers will geek out and blow up over the smallest of details and are almost always ready to tell you why a specific operating system, programming language, service or app is the worst. Whichever one they're using?
Yes, their methodology isn't the best. Go ahead and do your own survey and it might appear here!

Wow, am I that disconnected from other developers? My ranking, from most complaining to least, with the languages I have experience in, would be:
Visual Basic
HTML/CSS (I know it's not a language)
Javascript
Ruby
Python
C
SQL
C# / C++
Assembly
As to why:
Visual Basic - because most code people write is awful, though I will, I'm impressed with a lot of the VB code here on CP.
HTML/CSS - because it's inconsistent, obtuse, and hardly ever does what you expect.
Javascript - because.
Ruby - MethodMissing. Need I say more? (See Python)
Python - Duck typing, some things are cool, but self gets quite tedious, debugging script languages is a PITA, and I want C#.
C - I want C#
SQL - Can be complicated and weird, but usually just works.
C# / C++ - The Happy Zone
Assembly - Yes, assembly I have the least complaints with because it is the ultimate simple, you get what you code, language. Though, perhaps I speak naively of the days of 6502, Z80, and 8086/8088 programming.
