I'm thwarted by the lack of an "insightful interesting informative funny flamebait troll" option.
I thought it was insightful. Not the swearing or calling Texas out for being known as pompous blowhards.
Rights or Freedoms be damned. Most people in America will line up if someone sets up a table, regardless of what they are selling or offering. At the very least it gives them something to post on their Facebook page.
If I had mod points, you would have gotten one of them.
I waited a full year(maybe 2?) before getting my ps3. Works like a champ, was a lot cheaper, and came with a free game. I don't have a single reason to get a ps4 right now, so it will wait till I see something I like.
Ok...let's just have them burn static HTML pages on a DVD containing the operating system, and work from there. The other side can then play to win against Write Once media.
That's actually a very interesting idea for a web front end where you wouldn't actually expect anything to change without an onsite admin being involved. Even dynamic webpages themselves do not change.
I live in Eastern WA as well. I mix wood burning with electric company provided natural gas. I harvest/split all my own wood. Keeps me in good health and the house warm a lot cheaper than the alternatives. A properly configured/used wood mixed with good quality dry wood is hardly noticeable on my bike ride to work.
There is a big difference between someone holding up a store, and firing an employee. If I willing discard a tool (sorry fellow IT professionals; we're tools) before I secure a replacement, then I have to live with that decision.

I come from at a place where if you were an IT professional and either party (You or Management) determined you weren't going to work there anymore, you were done. Accounts were locked. No more database, fileshare, email access. We had a DBA attempt to leave under good terms with 2 week notice and all. 30 mins later his acct was locked, management supervision while he cleaned his desk, then escorted out. Nevermind he'd done his hard time (4+years) fixing/maintaining/enhancing the database/server structure. No one asks for passwords or what the combination to ther server room was.
I'm not saying what Terry did was right/wrong, but if they didn't have procedures/process in place, then it's there own fault a cocky sys admin grabbed them by the cohones. On a separate note, would you really re-grant sysadmin access to someone that wasn't "pleasant" about handing over the keys?
Very simple response to the whole thing. You had 1 guy that was in charge of knowing ALL the passwords AND the ability to reset/change them AND you fired him? Whether or not the guy KNOWS the passwords by heart (and I don't even know my WiFi password by heart), my contract ends with you the day you fire me.
If you want to hire me back as a contractor at a 1k/day rate, I will gladly find and open the password spreadsheet. Or you can pay the helpdesk guy to search my desktop and my fileshares.
If you do not have the technical foresight to have a plan in case I get hit by a bus then you deserve to live with the consequences of me disappearing off the face of the earth, even if it's at your own doing. Especially if it's your doing.
On the actual specifics of this one case, Terry probably was committing carreer suicide by not ensuring he left the place on good terms. You don't jerk with the CITY you live in. You might be able to pull that crap with some small companies, but throwing both fingers high in the sky at the entire CITY is asking for some rebuttal.
You missed the joke...
Clock goes back an hour. This day suddenly has 25 hrs. (4% is 100 / 25)
There is an extra 60 mins for people to have heart attacks and be recorded. Statistical play.
Every MMO has them. There's no stopping them, it kind of reminds of the same sort of silly arms race spammers have against spam filtering software.
Anyway, I think what MMO companies should do, it just make their own botting software and sell it to people like the rest of their products. Level the playing field. Every MMO has bots, so open the flood gates, let anyone have bots, make some money as well.
The MMO I play has fishing. This will level you faster than actual monster grinding, and if you're lucky (or fish long enough), you can make more in game gold than by questing. You need to buy a fishing pole from the in-game shop or another player. The fishing pole expires and disappears after a few days forcing you to secure another. This game understands the grind sucks, and has found a balance between easy and acceptable. There are still bots, but they are immobile drones clogging the chat window.
Game is called Dekaron (Free to download and free to play, unless you're serious/lazy)
Mythbusters showed electric windows would still work for 30-40 minutes after being submerged under water.
(They stuck the whole battery/window assembly underwater)

Guess I don't need that subscription to ancestry.com anymore. Thanks AC!
Are they first or second cousins and are we playing by North or South rules?

I would have wasted a mod point on that post.
They kinda blend together like an almost burnt steak. You're not sure if you've ruined it till you slice into it to be sure.
You have to deal with a homeowner's association if you inherit property under its control.
Still not the government and still of your own volition.
HOA's are not a government agency, which means you don't have to deal with them. That problem is entirely your own doing.
It's easy, take the cartridge out, blow on the contacts, wave it around if it feels hot, then put it back in.
And failing that, ram it in and out a few times. It's funny how we're back to blinking lights at power on because stuff's broken. (Long live the NES!)

They aren't going to charge for it. They're going to use it to track their Google+ users.
Why is it when people have something worth saying, they do it as anonymous coward?
... and shut case. Nothing to see here, move along.
but apparently, if you did want to see something, it's available on the internets.
Given your response I get the feeling you're not Pro-Choice...and fyi, that's not a battering ram...;)

Was debating on modding (up)...

Frankly, the man is brilliant.
People really misunderestimated him.
It's because they couldn't tell if he was lying.
Mythbusters showed electric windows would still work for 30-40 minutes after being submerged under water. (They stuck the whole battery/window assembly underwater)
Will there be funding to "recreate" all the artifacts that were supposedly left behind, but stolen by the aliens?
(I need to believe that the government didn't have the ability to lie to us about that (at least not that long ago)).
...it beats the hell out of rampaging armies raping and enslaving and murdering everyone in their way.
Where do you think the term "French Benefits" came from.
Sounds like a government solution.
