After TASTING the sweetness, the body may ask, "But where's the calories?"
Sweet tooth unsatisfied, we may be eating more other stuff.
Artificial sweeteners appear to disturb the body's ability to count calories and, as a result, diet foods and drinks may wind up encouraging weight gain rather than weight loss, an expert contends.... Commonly used sweeteners include sucralose, aspartame and saccharin, among others.
The first real computer I saw was the Jezebel made by Magnavox to hunt submarines. $250,000 with one aboard a Grumman twin prop job off a carrier and two installed in P3 Orions (of hurricane fame).
It had a ferrite core, little iron rings with two wire going through them. When the current went one way, the magnetic field was a "one" and when the current through another wire, the core was reset. The other wire changed magnetic polarity.
Word was that it was hand-wound by Indians, later known as Native Americans.
64,000 bits.
It had its own thermal bath that kept everything hot, but at a steady temperature.
The computer had glossy buttons, and a Built-In-Equipment-Test (BEST, we called it).
That test knew what the voltage was supposed to bet at critical points throughout the modular, hybrid circuit boards (very high tech for the times, ca. 1967).
We'd troubleshoot them puppies down to component parts; had a clean room; and could remove/replace a chip and it looked like factory.
One day out at sea, on the USS Wasp, I had a crazy core and the test run told me I had a submarine 6 feet above water doing 60 knots!
When I trained on electronics in this man's Navy in 1965, I went to NAS Memphis and we worked on a vacuum tube computer that filled up a whole wall. We'd open the windows in the winter because it was HOT in there.
There were two tubes per flip-flop module. The tubes burned out often and we'd have to troubleshoot that.
Our goal was to use a row of toggle switches to turn lights "on" for a binary one, and "off" for a binary zero.
We would load up one register with four bits and the only other register with four bits and then we'd press a switch that could only execute an add and we'd better get the right binary number on the third row of lights.
We started (I shit you not) all of our algebra, trig, geometry, etc. including square root extraction by pencil and paper and then moved into the slide rule age.
The only goddam transistors we saw were the 9-volt radios playing Elvis.

This.
"Value Added Tax" would have taken up few characters and added a LOAV (Lot Of Added Value).
OpenBSD is useless as tits on a boar to people who don't know what the simple Sam Hill you're talking about.
Windows or Mac.
That's all consumers/workforce know anything about.
Where's OpenBSD here?

If it weren't relevant, it wouldn't be clever.
The population of people NOT affiliated with governments and ISPs is MUCH greater by proportion.
That means the odds are that the brightest minds are NOT working for governments and ISPs.

RTFL I gave you.
Interesting.

Agrre,
IT, in general, has been bitching to management about best practices.
Risk/reward analysis, so far, is in favor of sloppy gate-keeping.
I agree.
HahahHAahAha
DDoS is an inconvenience.
It is not a problem.
The attack on Dyn was mitigated in a few hours and we move on.
Dyn should have been hardened to begin with.
You and I can bring down a single web page by ourselves but we don't.
Unlike you, I'm a user advocate.
It's our goddam computers. Our coworkers just want to do their job.
We are on the expense side of they ledger and they make the money.
Blaming users is useless as tits on a boar.
How about we geniuses do our job and block this nonsense?
Nah.
No one paid any attention to those emails.
This election was a blindside by poll-shy angry, bored, under-educated white women.
lol
This.
DDoS is vandalism.
It pisses someone off; costs them; and the little botnet kiddies giggle.
What other OS would you recommend?

Artificial sugar may cause other problems:

They do the same with hamburger meat.
How about if we disallow this kind of hack?
Hunert dollas to a donut it was a click on a link in an email.
Computers can be predictive and examine code and "think" through the consequences.
So, no massive encryption.
And, any attempt to do so should be halted until we get a "double vote yes" from two phones via text message.
This.
It's a goddam computer!
This crap about encrypting every file on board should not be allowed without two-level authentication.
A fucking computer knows when commands are coming from a program or initiated by a keyboard.
This is like burglary when there are no locks on the doors.
No firing solutions by any means.
We were avionics, not ordinance.
The tube "computer" added two 4-bit numbers.
That was it.

Had to ship the core back to the indigenous.
