I grew up in Philadelphia and we had a chain of video rental stores around here called West Coast Video. When Blockbuster came around, WCV really stepped up their game with more foreign and rare stuff you couldn't get from Blockbuster. I ended up going there more than Blockbuster.
Then I discovered Movies Unlimited, another store that catered to more obscure stuff. They even rented Laser Discs!
But I do miss video rental stores daily. I think they were great. Some cheese steaks and a DVD from West Coast Video made for a nice cheap date at home.
I was thinking the same thing. You have hardware level access to a PC to the point where you can read RAM in order to get someone's master password from their password manager? Why would you bother? Just install a keylogger instead and you can have all sorts of fun.
Seriously? WTF?
As much as I hate to say it, an outbreak of Measles isn't going to convince anti-vaxers to vaccinate their kids. Measles comes and then goes. It's long term health effects aren't seen for years or decades.
What will knock some sense in these idiots is if we have a Polio outbreak and only their unvaccinated kids end up in wheelchairs, needing braces, or trapped in an iron lung.
It's just a matter of time before Netflix, Google, Amazon, Vudu and all these other companies spin up a new ISP and send it out into the world to compete with Comcast. Existing ISPs will do themselves in. As long as you grease the politicians hands at the local level, they'll happily give you a municipal franchise and let you run all the fiber you want.
Google can do what they want with the UI to try and make it better, but I don't think it will ever compete with a full on dedicated mail client like Thunderbird of Geary. I find I can get most tasks done faster with a thick client than I can with the Gmail website.
Seems like a huge waste of development effort to maintain both projects. TBH, the only thing that The Document Foundation needs from AOO is the name. OpenOffice is a much better name than LibreOffice. It's also more well known.
I like all variable having a $. Makes them easy to spot when looking at someone else's code. The lines ending in semi-colons is a little annoying.
As much as I think Python is cool, if I see one more damn indentation error when I execute a script, I am going to scream.
I'm not a programmer. Just a guy that writes scripts to get my job done. And the top of my list is vbscript. I would rather script in anything other than vbscript.
So, the man who brought us Common Core is going to do something else to totally mess with the education system again?
Thanks, but no thanks, Mr. Gates. My state opted out of Common Core. But it's impossible to buy a math textbook that isn't written for Common Core, so the kids end up getting Common Core whether they like it or not.
"Real Governments" don't need encryption either, since they should have nothing to hide from their citizens. If only terrorists need encryption, then I say the government should lead by example.
If I had to pick between a pedophile ordering and sleeping with a child sex robot, or that same pedophile going out and abusing a kid, the sex robot wins every time.
I think Amazon got this patent so others can't stop people from walking into Best Buy and checking Amazon pricing. If Amazon has a patent on this, no one else can do this.
Any ISP that tries to impose a fast lane needs to go dark. Immediately. Google, Amazon and every single website on the Internet needs to cut them off with a page that explains how their ISP is screwing them, and they will be changed more for services now. Internet access has no value if you can't get anywhere. Keep this up for a weekend. Then, add a Comcast tax to everyone's bill. You buy anything on Amazon, and you get charged extra, as a separate line item. Same with Netflix. Make everyone aware of what' going on. If a week of no Internet for Comcast and AT&T customers doesn't convince them to knock it the hell off, nothing else will.
And the CTO too. The level of inefficiency in my place of work is mind boggling. Too much corporate politics. It's costing my company a fortune. We go through binge and purge fire/hire cycles and well as outsource/insource cycles. I can't even imagine the annual bill for this mess.
Signal built their desktop client using Chrome APIs, because it was an easy path to getting cross-platform apps. Their desktop client isn't even out of beta yet, and the APIs they're using are being killed off. This kinda sucks.
So Hillary Clinton just admitted that the Russian government had unfettered access to the DNC email server. So, it's not just Hillary that can't keep her email secure, but leader of the Democratic Party as well.
How about we all just agree to get along and elect no one as president.
Did they try every single antibiotic on this woman? Just because it has mcr-1 and is resistant to colistin doesn't mean it's resistant to everything.
A friend of mine got a chest infection that was resistant to a lot of different antibiotics, including zithromax. After trying 4 different antibiotics, the doctor gave him sustained release penicillin, because, why not. 3 days later the couching stopped and he was on the mend.

What eats the mosquitoes? Because whatever it is, you just wiped out a major food source for them.

When it shuts down, everyone better hear a door closing noise if they're logged in.

How much do you want for it?
Do I get to pick my own encryption key, or can Amazon always see my stuff?
So, lets vote for the wife of a rapist instead!

At least in the Clinton.Trump fiasco, you can choose Johnson. When your choice is Comcast or Verizon, you can only choose no Internet.
My choice in Verizon or Comcast. I will pretty much pick dialup over Comcast.

How does BitKeeper compare to Git technically?
