... down both legs when I had to give a speech in front of a class and the goddam subject was chosen for me.
I lectured in college about computer stuff and, because that was my wheelhouse, and I could answer questions on the fly or simply admit that I didn't know, I did well.
Later on I taught computer science on campus to adults after hours.
I even testified in court, drawing a scene and relating the facts and felt right at home.
I figured out what the problem was: When I was forced to make shit up, I did not feel I belonged on the goddam podium.
The Martians live on a fully vetted Solar System planet and therefore are automatically a member of the Space Force. .
The Plutonians are not in the same jurisdiction, being a part of the Kuiper Belt Alliance.
While Pluto's orbit does cross into the Solar System sovereign space occasionally, the law governing water-sharing in the farmlands of Earth apply because the space deformation of the region was not engineered by Plutonians.
Like rivers and streams, as well as aquifers, Pluto has no choice in the manner and cause of travel.
That path was established by the Solar System Grand Gravitational Ellipticallization of Bodies over 5 billion years ago, which allows for occasional encroachment of radically eccentric non-average circular Kuiper and Oort Cloud visitors.
I'm retired from Mobil Oil. I went from systems analyst to senior network engineer.
We had great expense accounts, travel, nice perks.
Then they bought Montgomery Ward, Went self-insured and sold insurance, got into real estate and built Reston, Va.... all kinds of wacky shit out of their wheelhouse.
The problem was cash-on-hand that shareholders wanted them to use to get more money.
The first thing Mobil did, right before going under, was "right-sizing" (downsizing).
Great way to instantly decrease spending.
They outsourced many IT jobs and hired contractors.
That was way more expensive.
SAP scammed their ass.
I refused to work with that piece of shit, and stuck with network stuff.

A popular item was a device that claimed to increase the power of the spark plugs in vehicles by using "embedded transistor."
You removed the wire from the center of the distributor and placed a doohicky between it and the socket, and plugged it back in.
Cool.
But I'm thinking (being an electronics technician), "So, a transistor, which has three leads, is in series with a single wire. How could a transistor possible provide amplification that way?"
So, I was driving over to Naval Station Mayport and saw one of these bitches on the side of the road.
Later, I tore it apart.
It was, literally, "with embedded transistor." I found one in solution in the tar that surrounded the goddam straight wire from input to output.

That's similar to this story.
The ad says, "hybrid."
So, some QC and some classical.
How much of each?
Even then, is the idea to do the heavy lifting with QC and pass the grunt work off to the classical?
This is fucking bullshit.
Although, the classical computer does have embedded transistors.
As QC gains moving parts, the Uncertainty Principle causes the unpredictability to rise exponentially.
I'm studying this field (see what I did there) and it's WAY too early.
Hell, anyone can grab some YouTubes where experts discuss the state of the art and they specifically verbalize your 30-year timeline and, in fact, concede that we may never fabricate a QC beyond 100 qubits.
For imaged planets, these are usually the planet properties, typically including, at minimum, the semi-major axis and planet mass, and the stellar properties, usually, at minimum, the distance to the host star and the stellar mass.
So we don't know if, for example, they are orbit-clearing.
Prior to the War of 1812, publicity stunts did not exist.
The first publicity stunt was performed at the Chicago World Fair when Rufus Hockersmith served "tea," that was purported to provide tannin that would aid in curing skin blemishes.
Toxicologists outed Rufus after an analysis proved that the tonic was actually brown water from Village Creek near Burkeville, Texas.
The "tea" had a side-effect of stunting people's growth immediately, and the people at the fair were publicly humiliated.

About the OneDrive, I did root canal on that sumbitch.
I went into the registry and set OneDrive to disappear in Explorer (File Manager).
Seems to me (haven't tried it) that we could block Office from hitting on the Update servers.
I use Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4 to look for that stuff.
... shit in the woods.
.... where's the stupid "turn updates off" option?
1. Disable Windows Update Service or
2. Setup A Metered Connection
1.) "Ah, you appear ..." Why are you making this personal? Are you reaching?
2.) "... asking too much from you ..." Same question.
What part of "Fuck, we're almost out of water." do you not get?
We did it here; we can do it there.
Good luck buying heroin with proxy dollars.
No competition.

... you were to smart ...
... blockchain with that?
This.

Well goddam.
Science is not about Truth ...
We're off to see the Wizard.
They haven't been imaged well enough to provide sufficient evidence.
They've been spectrum-analyzed.
You can interpret all you want, but you don't know .
... like all the other state prison systems, is responsible for the fucked up legal mess that provides corporate slaves.
Doesn't matter.
We're talking definitions.
For the solar system, we have certain knowledge that is verifiable.
Calling exo-(x) a planet does not establish that the thing is actually a planet.
Exoplanet is a convenient place holder until we get more information about the shit we're looking at.
A precedent is the "floppy disk", a misnomer that became a solidified member of the lexicon.

Yes.
Your product is OK, but ours includes "push technology," and "automatic fine tuning," with Bluetooth compatibility, and wireless charging.
Yep.

Precisely.
It's rick-rolled Nigerian prince scam.
I have mod points but I'm more interested in this subject.
I agree with you!
It's like Apple shaping the market for iPhones by producing different coloured cases.
I mean, goddam!
Seriously?
And "hybrid," is a hazy place to hide.
How much "hy," and how much "brid?"
As for the fucking "prize" model, just who in Sam Hill in this industry isn't bilingual and knows full well the translation:
Invent it for us.

Some of them want to use you ...
And yet you don't complain about them.
And yet I can't SEE them.
Their existence is only visible through a gravitational lens that neither of us has.
