    I think his tongue has done busted through his cheek by now.

    Your calculation is also misleading. It's quite possible that a Windows CVE spans a number of Windows versions which would lead to counting the same CVE by up to 5 times. I'm willing to bet that the number of unique Windows CVEs is about a third the number that you arrived at.

    I'll bet you'd win. This indicates that MS doesn't fix their bugs over multiple releases.

  3. Speaking of metals in marine use, my upcoming band will be in the genre of sacrificial metal.

    The Navy has been sacrificing metal in the Pacific lately. You should look them up. They've made quite an impact.

  4. Works for me.

    Those were good. This one hits the Trifecta:

    "Last month when I was on a fishing trip I noticed that there was a huge ship on the horizon coming my way. Needless to say I was terrified. luckily I was adequately equipped with How to Avoid Huge Ships by John W. Trimmer, and the AutoExec Wheelmate Steering Wheel Attachable Work Surface Tray. Acting quickly I threw my Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer off of my AutoExec Wheelmate Steering Wheel Attachable Work Surface Tray, sending perfectly sliced discs of banana everywhere. Using the stable surface of my AutoExec Wheelmate Steering Wheel Attachable Work Surface Tray I was able to read the needed to knowledge to avoid that huge daunting ship. How to Avoid Huge Ships by John W. Trimmer is a true life saver."

  6. In addition, I especially like his DR solution for beer.

    I agree. I imagine though that Kaspersky is not that interested in spending money in the US to primarily benefit US entities. Probably something about "the US gov sez avoid Kaspersky" disinclines them to do so.

    ...Of course if it takes the cops 100+ years to go through all of it...

    I expect that they would "put out a call for volunteers" and knock it out in a year.

    There's a lot of bitcoin hate on Slashdot from people who are mad they don't own any bitcoin, and didn't get in when it was affordable.

    Yeah. Pretty much like all pyramid schemes.

    His point is perhaps that it will take a generation or more to fix the pollution problem, as we've seen it happen in other places. If the political will is present.
    Note: I like the tangent into the "Opium Wars". Nice pivot.

    I'm not certain that we can yet say that people don't realize Bush gave us Obama. I wonder what Trump will give us.
