I mentioned it to a friend via Messenger a ways back and it blocked the communication and claimed it was malware. Ended up sending my friend an email about it, but lesson learned.
I used to have a pet Umbrella Cockatoo - known in the bird-owners world as a destruct-o-too. Could crunch a broomstick like you and I could crunch celery. The cables should have been buried,
Yes - but I do understand why so many people have stopped.
I am now retired, so I can catch shows in a matinee - and...treading lightly here.... I have a nicer theater nearby that attracts a better demographic. I don't have to deal with a messy venue, people talking, people texting, knife fights in the parking lot, ect. My only complaint with the experience is the 20 minutes of commercials before the movie starts.
Not a whole lot that interests me, but when something does, I am there.
BR2049, It, American Assassin and Jigsaw in the last month.
Going to watch Star Wars: Killing the Last of the Original Characters 2, when it comes out.
The theater experience should not be as bad as it has become, and it isn't just crap movies that has killed the movie industry: it's the refusal of the theaters to make sure bad behavior is dealt with so that other customers do not suffer for it.
Buy a good VPN service as soon as you can afford it. Know what it does and especially what it does not do. I got mine the first time I got a nasty letter from my ISP for downloading a torrent for a movie I already owned (Flixter *sucks* on a Mac).
Don't regret the purchase a bit.
I live just outside of Charleston, SC, and we had a frog-choker of a rain storm that moved in and obscured the eclipse. My neighbor's rain gauge claimed over 4 inches (10+ cm for you Metric Folks). It was something of a letdown, but I still enjoyed the experience.
I had a Twitter account and deleted it a month or so ago. Had nothing whatsoever to do with Trump: it's a stupid way to miscommunicate and I saw no reason to keep it. I would think more people are hanging on to their Twitter accounts to see what he is saying rather than leaving Twitter because of what he said. He may be slowing the landslide, not making it larger.
Everyone it dumping it for Hyper-V anyway. Won't be around in a few years, so I'm not sure what the point of this is. Maybe it will become FOSS software when the product succumbs to the inevitability of Microsoft's dominance.
We have had the technology to replace most management positions since I was a child in the 1970s. I once suggested we try it out in a series of endless meetings that were a Circle Jerk to Nowhere, but people thought I was joking: The Magic 8 Ball. The answers would be no less intelligent than our management team's - more intelligent in most cases, but would at least be consistent.
I can buy 3 for the price of one genuine Apple charger. I can tell you firsthand they run HOT. I don't charge unless I am present, but I don't know that they are all that dangerous, either. They are about as durable as an Apple charger, and I am going to make it a point to buy some ASAP before I can't.
The typical liberal is perfectly happy with concentrating power in the state - as long as they are running the state.
This is why the American left thinks the right to keep and bear arms is not an individual right.
>>...suggest President Obama begin "declassifying and dismantling as much of the federal government's unaccountable, secretive, mass surveillance state as he can -- before Trump is the one running it..
When Obama got into power, I assumed he'd be the typical liberal. Little did I know he'd get very friendly with the expansion of the police state.
I was hoping they would make it to my area simply because the only option I have for fast internet is Comcast, and I would love to have an alternative. We are just up the road from a Google data center and already have the Free Wi-Fi in parts of the city, so I figured we were a lock. Crud.

Leisure Suit Larry is now an XBox exclusive!
It saves me a lot of trouble when I am driving.
Finally, it's here!
Thank you for what you did for us. RIP, and condolences to your family and your friends.

How much carbon gets into the atmosphere from the eruption of an underwater volcano? Do events like this help or hurt the climate?
It worked out fine for them. They got bailed out, we got screwed.
Mine is running like a top in the southeast US. I use Google's DNS, though, and have been hearing the outage is DNS-related.
Does this mean Groklaw is coming back to cover this mess again? :-)

At those hours of the morning, how bad could the traffic be? Think I would sleep in an extra hour or two and drive.

It only would run the federal government for 3 weeks or so.
I will admit my 360 is very long in the tooth, and I am intrigued by this, but without pricing, I am not going to get enthused.

Jeeze, getting that package from the truck to the porch was hard. What's in the box? Lead? (actual conversation when I had bullets delivered)
