    Betty White is still alive!

    Seriously. The autism is strong in this one.

  3. You'll be cuffed in the back of the car before you finish that sentence.

    Cheap PC shit doesn't come with a serial port but most servers and even lowly devices like the Raspberry Pi still communicate via serial ports. Three wires and you're connected. If the OS fails to boot you'll never know because sshd never loaded. I'd see all the kernel messages from my antique serial port while you're grepping DHCP logs.

    You're further demonstrating you have no idea what you're talking about.

  6. It only disables data on the lightning port. You are still free to unlock via the passcode or other means.

    Alright default to the first serial port if no framebuffer is found. Happy?

    Just write the damn thing in Python or whatever language is hot at the moment. Use framebuffer graphics and a simple mouse driver like FreeBSD uses. How high up the abstraction layer can we go just to copy files to a storage device?

    They at least had style. Better than the beige PC garbage being sold at the time. Still not on par with anything from SGI though.

    Hard to avoid the upgrade when clicking the X on the window means "yes" to Microsoft.

    I was going to say the same thing. Probably a union guy. Did the light bulb on your desk burn out? You dare not lay a finger on that bulb or you'll be taking someone's job away. Submit a request to the union electrician and he'll be by in a week or so. Spill something on the floor and need a broom? Don't even think of looking for one. A floor sweeper by show up sometime this week.

  12. Owned by an Indian company. No wonder it looks like cheap flashy shit.

  13. What the fuck flipkart is or anything.

  14. Put up or shut up. Show me packet captures of Chrome spying. Please, I'll wait.

  15. RAM is there to be used, not bragged about.

  16. Pick some random comic book characters, re-hash an old story line with one new twist, profit.

    what the first amendment says

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    Since when is YouTube the same as congress?

    They were giving out medical advice without a license?

  20. The act of using Facebook gives them permission to collect your data.

  21. Do some googling and restrict your searches to 2008-2012 and you'll see how Obama used "revolutionary" methods on social media to help his campaign. Hell Facebook even had a meeting with him. Today Trump uses it and the sky is falling.

  22. Again, what does any of that have to do with programming?

  23. Why am I addressing them in the first place? They post a question and I post an answer. Do we really need an explanation of which gender they are identifying with today? None of that is relevant.

  24. Nope on Wages Aren't the Only Reason Teachers Are Striking (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Just democrats running things into the ground. All those utopian cities run by Democrats like Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, Gary, etc etc. Truly inspirations for the rest of the country.

    You hit the nail on the head. As others have pointed out Algebra and Trig haven't changed since Isaac Newton but somehow books need revisions every year.
