    No thank you. I'll take my extra-large sirloin at Western Sizzler medium well, please. With A1 steak sauce to go with it (ducks).....

    No, it looked like to me that the author is fed up of the bullshit anti-vaxxer nonsense and was saying what was on his mind instead of sugar-coating the whole thing.

    To them, if something happens after something else, it was caused by that first thing. This is the classic post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy.

    Sounds like computer IT support. "My computer was working fine until YOU did (whatever)"

    Kim: Well? Did it work?
    Physicists: Uhhhhhh......YEA! Yea! It worked. The reason it was so small was because we are saving the big portion of tritium for use on the evil imperialists. We only used a tiny bit. yea. that's it!.....

    Probably a fizzle. Didn't have their primary configured correctly to ignite the secondary or the secondary was configured or built incorrectly.

    "Dear sirs, it has come to my attention that this newspaper contains a sports section. I do not follow sports and will never read about sports. Please cease putting things in your newspaper that I do not read."

    In other words, U2xhc2hkb3QgU3Vja3M, get over it.....you are not special...

  8. Isn't that what the article mentioned? Devices connecting to your INTERNAL network? Of course you cannot do anything about stuff connecting to 4G and outside WAPs.

    From the article:

    "Now is a great time to start to think about policy and procedure for the inevitable. As everything imaginable starts to ask for an IP address from your network, make sure you watch ingress and egress points and terminate encryption so you can properly inspect all traffic. What is your policy for things like the Amazon Echo, on your corporate network? "

    You implement policies about what can or cannot access your company network. At my place of work, we have several wireless networks...some can access the internal production environment and some cannot (guest access, vendors, etc). If you want your gadget on the corporate network, you have to GET APPROVAL. Otherwise tough tacos.

  9. Obviously you have no clue of network security at your workplace and just allow people to plug in shit as they feel like it. You shall reap what you sow. There are a number of steps you can take to not let unauthorized devices on your company network.

  10. You don't allow it.......

  11. Edge sucks (no ad-block)

    That is the reason I am not currently using it. Hopefully when they enable extensions, then we can have our blockers.

  12. Re:God I hate to say this, but on George Lucas Criticizes the Force Awakens (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. Yeah, Lucas is not the most creative and original director ever--as has been well documented elsewhere, the original Star Wars owes a lot to its sources (even as kid in 1977 I recognized where the intro scroll came from), but the way I see it, Lucas was inspired by nostalgia for old serials and samurai movies--Abrams is inspired by nostalgia for Star Wars.

    Indeed....Lucas has mentioned over and over in the past that Star Wars was meant to be a big soap opera telling a story. Not just space battles and explosions.

  13. Sorry, Mr. Lucas.... on George Lucas Criticizes the Force Awakens (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I am going to basically repeat in a more respectful tone than what the other smart-asses said on this thread, but with all due respect,

    Why did you sell your franchise in the first place? You know Disney's track record for mucking up stuff and should have known that they would not listen to you after you sold Lucasfilm to them. That would be like me selling a nice hot rod to Disney and telling them "Oh don't put flames on that car! It looks better in solid candy apple red!"

    Disney basically gave you the finger in a respectful way and did what they wanted (which is to market to the lowest common denominator who likes explosions and action). They don't care about telling a story. They want $$$$$$$$$$$..

  14. Many things could happen...... on Microsoft Has Your Encryption Key If You Use Windows 10 (theintercept.com) · · Score: 0

    As soon as your recovery key leaves your computer, you have no way of knowing its fate. A hacker could have already hacked your Microsoft account and can make a copy of your recovery key before you have time to delete it. Or Microsoft itself could get hacked, or could have hired a rogue employee with access to user data. Or a law enforcement or spy agency could send Microsoft a request for all data in your account,

    Or dogs and cats start sleeping together, or unicorns could start bombing us with rainbow shit, etc,etc.... ad nauseum.... sheesh....

    I think IBM does it on their mainframes. Hardware is already there, but only activated after you pay for the proper licensing depending on the amount of computing power you need.

    Yes. Because fortress-building horses, gods who cross-dress to impersonate the bride at a wedding, and tasty-goat-drawn chariots make a lot of sense. I do have to admit the story about Thor's beer run where he eats two cows, beats up a sea serpent, and gets in a brawl on a fishing trip, would make a great movie. Actually, that's probably where they got the inspiration for the Scott Pilgrim and Superbad scripts.

    Maybe they could put the fishing trip brawl into the next Marvel Avengers movie. Thor & Captain America going toe to toe over the last beer in the cooler....hmmmm...

  21. Ummmm....no. One of our crackpot right wingnut presidential candidates (Donald Trump) is suggesting that be implemented if he gets elected president. The way he is carrying on, the Republitards will go down in flames in the next election. Maybe. Hopefully. But there is also a lot of inbred, brain-dead rednecks in this country that love him as well and might be able to get him elected..

    When something like this happens, the airline should be compelled to refund their money.
