'Honest boss, I was sure the computer was secure! How was I to know the high sensitivity microphone pointed at it a few feet away, with a wire running out to the van outside and the stranger asking us to all be very VERY quiet for the next hour was a problem?'
And this goes back to rule 1 of computer security. If you don't have physical security on sensitive machines, you're screwed.
The baddies were going to use it to block the Mississippi at a narrow point near New Orleans, to redirect it to a new docking facility that they'd built in the middle of nowhere.
She was upgrading her office computers and asked me for some advice. I told her to make sure she ordered them win Win7 (or failing that 8.1), but DO NOT GET WINDOWS 10.

BC: Hi! I'm Bob Costas, and welcome to NBC's incredibly wonderful coverage of the Olympics(tm). In fact, our coverage is so wonderful that we want you to enjoy the anticipation so much, that we wait till tomorrow! Now let's go to the events.
Cut to the 10000 meter run
Announcer1: Look! There's an American running in this race. He hasn't got a snowball's chance in hell of winning, but we're going to keep the camera trained on him, because we know you don't care about who wins if it's some foreigner.
Announcer2: That's right! Hey, look, the American guy just got lapped by some foreign dude. They should change the rules so that the Americans always come in first.
Cut to 20 minutes of commercials for Nike, IBM, and Coca-Cola
BC: Hi! I'm back. And weren't those commercials thrilling? Oh yes, here are the results of the 10,000 meter race. It was actually held yesterday, but we know you didn't want to know about them today. Some foreign guys won, so you don't care. But now we'll cut to a clip from four days ago at the pool, because we know you love to watch Americans accept their gold medals!
Cut to a clip of some US swimmer accepting their gold medal with the Star Spangled Banner playing in the background.
BC: Doesn't that just bring a tear to your eye? He managed to win a gold meal, even after he suffered a hangnail last year that almost ended his career. And we'll be showing you that clip every day!
Looks off camera for a minute...
What? Oh, I'm sorry. It appears that that athlete has been banned from the Games, and had her medal stripped because she said that she believes that Nike(tm) uses sweatshop labor. Darn. Now we'll have to find another heartwarming clip of an American accepting a medal. Meanwhile, it's off to the fencing competition.
Cut to yet another 20 minutes of commercials.
BC (showing bruises on his face): Sorry, I lost my head there for a minute. Management has "reminded" me that Americans don't care about fencing coverage, so we'll go to something else. Here's Rhythmic Gymnastic coverage...
Cut to the Rhythmic Gymnastic coverage...
Announcer1: Hi. We're just down to the part where some pre-teen girl runs around the floor holding a huge ball, and we pretend it's a sport. We know you love this coverage.
Announcer2: Oh! She dropped the ball! Darn it, and she was an American, too! Now we'll probably have to broadcast some pictures of a foreigner. They should change the rules!
Cut to 20 more minutes of commercials.
BC: Well, that wraps it up for our Olympic coverage for tonight. After your local news, we'll rerun this entire show, instead of showing other sports that WE know you don't want to watch.
Cut to 20 more minutes of commercials
Closing Credits. Includes the line: This is the property of NBC and the IOC. If you even talk to your friends about who won before we broadcast it, we'll sue your asses off!
I can understand not reading TFA. But it's in TFS, for f***s sake.
One dealer said the group was told that early testing of a small sample of repaired cars showed that the fix made 'no discernible difference' in the cars' mileage, horsepower or torque.

This is HPE -- HP Enterprise. It spun off from HP about a year ago.
HPE does the big iron. NonStop (aka Tandems), HPUX, and I'm guessing Windows servers as well. Enterprise class storage, networking, etc...
Not the HP desktop people.
To err is human. To really foul things up requires a computer.
I'm sure Slashdot editor manishs has an explanation for all this.
I'd love to see someone sue for false advertising on that.
How big would their sales be if they read "LICENSE IT (for limited purposes) ON DVD TODAY!!!"
Yep. It was Flood Tide.
The baddies were going to use it to block the Mississippi at a narrow point near New Orleans, to redirect it to a new docking facility that they'd built in the middle of nowhere.
TFA isn't clear, but maybe he was already on the freeway when it happened?
In that case, I'd probably have it drive me. If I was at home, I'd 911.
He's 22.
Windows RG came out a while ago.
[warning -- second link uses flash]
Heinlein beat him to it by 28 years.
I thought it was the "Al Franken Decade".
My girlfriend is a DDS.
She was upgrading her office computers and asked me for some advice. I told her to make sure she ordered them win Win7 (or failing that 8.1), but DO NOT GET WINDOWS 10.
It's a HIPAA violation waiting to happen.
Will Quicken run under WINE?
And Jack Swigert died from cancer. Don't know what the state of his cardiovascular health was.
I believe you mean this...
"Everything is perfect, we are in complete control of our^H^H^H^HYOUR computers"
I heard the prairie dogs were trying to unionize, so /. will be hiring mongooses (or mongeese) from India using H1-B visas. The prairie dogs will have to train their replacements...
Here's a little piece I wrote back in 2000...

Didn't the COC try to trademark "With Glowing Hearts"?
Don't forget Jenny, who overcame a life threatening hangail to compete in $SPORT, and she was an underdog because of it!!!
The bad thing is after the fine the insurance company is going to bend him over and bitch fuck him.
He's one of the 99% of Beemer drivers that are assholes. How is this a bad thing?
(One of the 2001 actors was guester star of 2nd pilot)
That would be Gary Lockwood, who played Mitchell in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and Frank Poole in "2001".
For once, he'd be on topic.
2015 models already have a DEF system.
