George Barris was possibly the most commercially successful of the "Kustom Kar" scene in the 50's-60's, but he wasn't the only player. He certainly added to it, though, along with people like Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and many others. I think it's still happening in places. Pogo Chevvies....
Dictionary attacks aren't always that useful for authentication systems that block logins on an account after a few missed attempts. However, a few stripped-down NAS nasties are set to allow infinite login attempts. It was kind of fun watching the password attempts; they were sort of half dictionary, half psychology, lots of old favourites. But they were all single words, I noticed, and not very long at that.
65B01859 was the drawing number for the cargo door assembly. I remember it had dozens and dozens of ECNs against it. (sigh) the things you're unable to forget...
Robots will do the job as soon as one can look at something and say "Hey, that's odd..." and apply insight to determine what's worth a closer look, outside pre-programmed observational parameters.
ISTR that the VT100 was strictly RS232. There was no USB, let alone WIfi.
(sigh) You had to remind me of those halcyon days -- when someone bothered you, you gave them a minimum WSEXT and set their password lifetime to "Daily", and you could spend hours making neat EDT macros and clever DCL command procs...
Sysgen, oh sweet @vmsupdate and SETPRV -- how I miss thee...
The late 60's Honda 305 "Dream" was an aspirational motorcycle (well, I wanted one anyway!) but was called "The Nightmare" by owners. Pressed-steel frame, about an inch and a half of leading-link suspension travel. It was a better name than Benley, though (the name of their smaller displacement twins).
Off-topic memory from then: Sochiro Honda was asked by an interviewer if there was any truth to the rumor that Hondas were made with recycled beer cans. "No," he replied, "They're made from recycled B-29's."
A year or so ago I was perusing the made-in-china web site and found a page where you could buy a Long March missile booster and launching platform (included payload nacelle but no payload, bring your own fuel). The part I found most disconcerting was the little "add to basket" icon...
Much better to argue over the scores than admit you have a situation that needs fixing, then move ahead?
Pretend the scores are right then, and that you do need to focus attention on better education. Use it as an excuse to forge ahead! You'll get more mileage out of that than spending all that time and effort to make yourself look better relative to these scores.
Just adjust the moderating rods to your white-hot national ego, okay?
Doc Smith waxed prolifically about such things as far back as the Lensman series. Although he didn't use the term "wormhole" he described it -- and noted that the cross section of a terminus from hyperspace approximated a sphere. Also described visibility in hyperspace to an interesting degree, and worked it into a plot device. Imaginative, and fun!
And I'm still quite convinced he drew his inspiration for Sir Austin Cardygne from my old physics 101 professor, J.S.Miller.
Your employer owes you jack shit. They own the job and requirements. It is not 1999 anymore and if requiring you to pitch in every othermonth and keeping current on your skillset where you do not live in poverty sounds pretty darn reasonable to me. Many who work 70 hours a week make less than 30k a year! Be greateful you have a job?
In a practical sense, you're quite right. But statements like that make me think that perhaps union membership for IT people is not such a bad idea.
I suggest you to look up TRW and the Low Cost Pintle Engine (LCPE) on the internet. Guess who was head of liquid rocket propulsion development there back at the start of the century.....

You would then be encouraged to say whatever you wanted. The SS would then send for you...
Nice Godwin, by the way.

I am *so* stealing that. Thanks ;)
Seriously, dude, you might want to consider the health benefits of seeing your doctor regularly. They can help.
It's one ion of "Red Matter" (ref:ST)
I recommend "Radar Men from the Moon" with Commando Cody (Republic, some time in the 50's)

Dude. They go dark whenever an auditor or third party software salesman walks in.
Yes. Scissors, $119.

They don't always use thermocouples. Sometimes the energy capture is via Stirling generator: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_radioisotope_generator

Lovely book, on my shelf at home some where. Not always believable, but some good rationalisations ;)

So, how do those Heisenberg compensators work, Scotty?

What would a magnetic nozzle look like?
Ahh, nvm -- GIYF.
Prereq to a lot of weird stuff, including certain .mil toys you probably won't like very much. Probably would make an interesting hard sci fi novel.
I suspect you're referring to "Footfall" by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle.
