It's pretty tough to "hack" the sonar shack and operator. I suppose you might foul up communication between sonar and the bridge, but the Navy has a backup for that, too, including runners if necessary. And BTW, do they still have voice-powered phones on board?
Bees don't consume pollen. Bees carry pollen from flower to flower as they move from one to another to consume nectar. Damn! Do they not teach this stuff in school anymore?
You used to have to download this stuff - on dial up. And save it to floppies.
I was running Red Hat version something when I heard about this new desktop environment called KDE. Their website had screenshots, a sales pitch why this was great, and *downloads* - woowhee!!
They had packages for Red Hat - I think about 5 or 6. You'd download each package and put it on a floppy. Then the install procedure had to be done in the proper sequence - first floppy one, then floppy three, then 2 and 4, and, finally floppies 5 and 6 for optional programs....Or something like that.
Anyway, I was successful the first time and I grinned for a week. What these folks did is interesting but it's not even close to really being there.
An old, starving homeless man standing in the freezing cold and snow is peering through a restaurant window, enviously watching another man sitting at a table eating a fried chicken dinner.
Statistically they have half a chicken each....can't give attribution cause I don't remember the name of the professor. He was an asshole and this is everything I remember from him.
Okay, you seem to think you've got this all figured out as to who's who and what. So... let's rewind the clock just a few years and you tell me: Under which of your categories would you put the IRA?
However, I am fed up with the foaming-at-the-mouth, frantic, OMG! reaction of the US news media to every tweet. Let President Trump Tweet away and shut down the news coverage of every tweet & I'd be happy.
In addition to releasing these shows on TPB, could you also wedge them into Amazon Prime Video so I can watch them? Cause if not, I just don't have the time.
I read an article long ago about how you can't truly understand an engineering design unless you understand the context. One example they used was the dashboard of the Saab automobile. Saab, in those days, had a very clunky looking dashboard with large controls spaced far apart. To Americans it looked ugly. What they pointed out in the article was that the Saab was designed in Sweden, by Swedish engineers. The engineers assumed the driver would be wearing winter gloves most of the year and so designed the controls to accommodate.
You are apparently using that phrase working from the ridiculous assumption that I know what you are talking about. Well, I don't. What is this "uncertainty about Ubuntu" you speak of?
I worked in a place with a lot of people who worked in the Engineering dept. These folks designed, revised, worked with the people on the shop floor to resolve problems, etc. None of these folks were "Engineers". They were all referred to as "Engineers". It's just a common term for people who do jobs like that.
We also designed and manufactured a couple of life-critical gadgets - things which might result in a death if they failed. Those drawings had to be signed and stamped by one of our two certified Engineers. But we would have been find into oblivion, I guess, 'cause we referred to just about everyone on that floor as an Engineer.
These folks seem to think their movie deserves a high rating because of the honorable subject matter and courage to tell a little known story. I've seen plenty of films which were lousy no matter what the subject matter was. This might be just a failed attempt.
High Noon: The Hollywood Blacklist and the Making of an American Classic by Glenn Frankel.
I'd heard of the Hollywood blacklist but I had no idea of the number of lives it affected. And an interesting read also if you're a fan of "High Noon".
Oh come on, just think about that for a minute. I'm setting up a new account and the system asks me to choose a password. I type in CorrectHorseBatteryStaple and the system replies that I can't use that as it's already in use.
With no usernames and the password as the only identifier, I now know someone's sign-on identifier. How well do you really think that would work?

Your "dogged dedication" might be "manic obsession" to me. Do you want to work to live, or live to work?

Better to get the early history of Linux right from the source. The book "Just for Fun" is the story told by Linus himself.

So you're saying that the definition of a monopoly is... er... being really popular?

The most interesting part to me: "The booster is powered by 3D-printed Rutherford engines..."

Anyway; sometimes a big, fat button makes sense.
If it works for child porn, what about muderers? Why not come up with a plan to distribute guns to villains in order to track down killers?
Oh, hang on...

And worth watching just for that long, continuous shot when they're all in the car. I'd love to see a behind the scenes video about how they did that.

is a pretty good look back. It would also be intensely boring to anyone who wasn't there.

I just had a gorgeous Akubra hat sent over. It was 20 days in L.A. customs but I finally got it.
Why are the words "in Silicon Valley" in the title?
