There's a lot of "they're just trying to backdoor you" type talk. For those who didn't bother to look at the code repos -> it's almost entirely Puppet manifests, not code.
I looked at it in the past week and saw that. But, I have no prior knowledge of Puppet; so, I decided it was NOT something I could pass judgement on.

Can we have a vaguely believable source for the "for economic gain" part of NSA spying? Seriously? I keep asking, and get sources even less credible then Fox News.
So, that means they can not cite NBC as the source; since Fox News is much more credible than NBC.

Getting and keeping enough pure water on board ship is NOT easy!
If the water is NOT pure; you get more rust.
The coolant on the nuke power plant is NOT likely to be water and it is likely to be radioactive.
Steam leaks are more likely to cause major injuries than blown electric breakers on a ship.

The paper-clip CD extractor. I keep one in my desk at all times.
I thought of my most unusual hardware hack and it used a small nail bent just right and a pair of vise grips to open locked file cabinets.
I used to work at a place that sold file cabinets; so, a dozen or so times the user locked the keys inside the file cabinet.

Measles DID kill many people prior to vaccination being available. The most common deaths were for young children though so yeah it probably didn't kill many grandparents as they never had a chance to live long enough to become grandparents.
As I have said many times, having children is hereditary; because chances are if your parents did NOT have any neither will you.
But, in the case of measles remember it also tends to cause men to be sterile if caught at the wrong age.

Nope, I'm going to vote for Hillary because unlike most other person running, she isn't overly corrupt and she's not bat shit crazy. She may not be perfect, but I have more faith in her ability to lead this nation then any other candidate currently.
FYI: People who think there is a vast conspiracy against them has a very high chance of being "bat shit crazy".

More patents for Stanford. The rich will get richer. Stanford is in the top 5 for universities granted patents. Schools still don't make enough money from tuition so they have to steal their students ideas.
People who try to invent things tend to own more patents than people who do NOT try to invent things.
Ideas without work tend to be worthless in many cases. It is the hard work of profs/students combined with the resources of the Schools that pays off for all the people involved.

So, basically, they are FORCING people to buy the Teslas in another state, thus screwing themselves out of several thousand dollars worth of sales taxes per car? Kind of like the Indiana and Arkansas governors signing bills that drive away business... too bad government isn't like corporations, wherein officials are obligated to act in the company's fiduciary interest. In this case, government appears to be screwing themselves to protect specials interests.
Why do people like you hate people in Indiana and Arkansas?
Do you hate just Christians? Or is it just Jews and Christians?
Or people of all faiths?

What is the most frequent cause of suicide?
At least 90 percent of all people who died by suicide were suffering from a mental illness at the time, most often depression. Among people who are depressed, intense emotional states such as desperation, hopelessness, anxiety, or rage increase the risk of suicide. People who are impulsive, or who use alcohol and drugs, are also at higher risk.
There are VERY FEW people who "just snap" and decide to kill themselves - it's not a crime of passion. It's usually an act born of a LONG bout of depression, despair, and suicidal ideation, and if you're doing constant, frequent screening for mental illness, you may prevent these sorts of things. Don't fire the guy, but make him get treatment until a doctor clears him to resume flight status. In fact, if they're actively screening for suicidal tendencies and ideation, many factors are highly correlated with suicide attempts, and could easily help screen people who are not in a mental state to perform their flight duties.
I think that likely 90% of the people in car accidents ate carrots in the prior month.
FYI: This does NOT mean carrots cause car accidents.

Getting a college degree, you actually learn something.
I've run into more than a few people who have made it through college quite uncontaminated by knowledge.
I like that phrase "... people who have made it through college quite uncontaminated by knowledge." Tim S.

I think I remember it being 36.3 ; note the .3 is very important because it implies accuracy.

Followed the link, searched for nuclear, didn't find it in the story. Closed the page.
If you are espousing 0 emission energy in the next 35 years, and you don't mention nuclear as a necessary component, then you are lying.
I agree if you do NOT mention using nuclear power you are lying or stupid. Tim S.

Yes you're right. That honour goes to Adobe Flash.
It a close race; but, I think Adobe Flash is winning. Tim S.
Does anyone know if "net neutrality" applies to free Wi-Fi places? Like restaurants and public libraries type places. Tim S.
I have a similar impression. My idea of computer science, is that it's not computer science until you need to read an algorithm book.
I would expand your definition; it is NOT computer science until the topic of algorithms and program design is covered at least in some amount. Tim S.
