I have seen the "baby effect" in action. When a women shows other women a new baby, it can cause the other women to have a stronger desire to have that experience (of holding a newborn) again.
There's even a name for it, baby rabies. "Oh my, it's so wonderful having a baby, you should have one too, you'll feel so fulfilled, it's a fantastic feeling, why don't you have a baby too, you'll be so happy, blah blah blah blah ad nauseum".
Which third-party operating system has what it takes to take on the establishment?
Obviously it's Windows Phone. I mean, Microsoft believe in it so much that they're made it the standard UI for desktop/laptop PCs, so you know it's got to be a winner.
Actually a bunch of switches. For example, in my house, I have one for turning on the furnace blower, one for turning on the AC, and one for turning on the heat. There's a 24V common (or multiple 24V lines), which comes in, and is routed to the blower, AC or heat to turn them on.
Sounds horribly complicated. I just have a cord pull to summon the boy to deal with the fire, and another to summon the girl to top up the drinks. They connect to a bell that rings in their quarters or something. Not really sure how it all works, they just come when we need them.
I had a friend who was captured by ISIS. They used pliers to pull out his fingernails, put rats in a bowl against his stomach and dropped hot coals on the back of it to agitate them and encourage them to eat their way out, had his legs crushed under a tank, had some hard, pipe-hitting niggas go to work on him with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch, and was forced to listen to the Spice Girls on loop play.
After his release, when presented with a laptop running Windows 10, he asked if he could go back to ISIS instead.
You're thinking of the F-9 3/4, which is so stealthy that even its own pilots can't find it. Costs 200 billion apiece. The money is going to the Pentagon somewhere, but no-one can figure out where the resulting aircraft are.
Note to the FBI: Illegally gather all the evidence you want and go ahead and use it, just don't do it to the people who get to decide whether it was illegally gathered, they don't like that.
I would like to add that, contrary to frequent rumors, the "POS" in there doesn't actually stand for Piece of Shit. It actually means... uhh... well I'm sure it's not meant to be Piece of Shit.
In the meantime, the Russian Business Network has announced that CryptoLocker now runs on 29% of all desktops, eclipsing Windows 10's market share by several percentage points. Ivan Granatomyot, RBN spokesman, said that they had taken a leaf from Microsoft's Windows 10 deployment tactics to increase their market share to the current level, and hoped for further growth in the future.
Security Chief Michael Garibaldi on Babylon 5 has passed away in Las Vegas at only 60 years of age. His B5 character was often paired-up with G'Kar (played by Andreas Katsulas who died in 2006 at age 59) and with Jeffrey Sinclair (played by Michael O'Hare who died in 2012, also at age 60)
Holy fsck, am I glad I never had a role in B5, I'd be dead by now since I'm 62.
Well, Boxleitner obviously is still alive at 66, and Mira Furlan and Peter Jurasic seem to be fine at 60 (Mira has a little over a month to break the spell). Bill Mumy is 62, and Stephen Furst 61. So not every Babylon 5 actors dies at 60 (or younger)
Are we sure it's really them, or just a bunch of Minbari in changeling nets?
Security is only as good as the underlying Operating System and Memory Management Unit, which is to say in the case of Microsoft Windows running on Intel hardware is non-existent.

The term "wasteland" is actually pretty misleading, most of the area is lush forest, there's just a few hot spots you need to avoid. "Wasteland" implies something like a scorched, lifeless desert. Calling it the exclusion zone is more accurate.
It's odd, I sometimes get complaints about AdBlock from sites, but can usually proceed anyway, presumably uBlock Origin does something sufficiently different that AdBlock-blockers don't quite work on it.
+1. AdBlock (or uBlock Origin in my case) and NoScript means I'm highly unlikely to have been hit, since the stuff never even got to any of my systems.
Well, that and the fact that I'm using a fringe browser whose market share is so insignificant that it probably won't be much of a target for the bad guys. Firefox, that is.
Don't forget that it's just outside Reno, the only place where the best sushi in town is the one that's eaten off the stomachs of strippers in... can't remember the name of the casino. And where you can buy.223 FMJ at the supermarket.
I broke down and started buying movies on Amazon after they blocked all the bit torrent traffic while I was deployed in the desert.
Uh, which desert was that, and/or whose military? In the US military you could pretty much throw a rock in any direction in a FOB and hit someone's stash of pir^H^H^Harchived movies.

I'm a big confused here though, is Windows 10 "unwanted software" or "malware"? The study doesn't really make it clear.
My brother-in-law must be a freaking genius then, he's the only person I've ever met who has moss growing on one side.

Who cares about Project Iceworm, when the melting ice on the South Pole uncovers Project Koschei then the shit will really hit the fan.

It's called Windows Embedded POSReady 2009.

I mean fuck, the Internet is sutch tubes.
Such tubes. Much Internet.

From what I've heard, there's a lot of control systems out there that now need persistent connections to the internet,
Pet feeders, for example.

Why in the basement? Seems a bit suspicious to me.
His mom lives upstairs?
I bet their house is a fucking mansion.
It's beyond that, it's practically a palace, room for over 300 people.

About 15 years. Yeah, it may have changed since then. Still, going up in the hills outside Reno to shoot bottles stuck in the ground was fun.

Ars Technica disappointed me in there ability to...
You've disapointed me in you're ability to speel correctly.
