The city in Blade Runner is populated by those who could not afford "a chance to begin again, in a golden land of opportunity and adventure". It is a depiction of urban decay, with rotting half-abandoned buildings such as The Bradbury, where J. F. Sebastian lived. Why would an old-fashioned phone booth be out of place?
Or even better, this program combines the area-capture capabilities of Snipping Tool with the simple editing capabilities of Paint in a single package.
Incidentally, I think "Fat Fuck Says" would have been even better. I don't have anything against gay people, so I don't advocate using "faggot" as a pejorative.
The design and features of Multics greatly influenced the Unix operating system, which was originally written by two Multics programmers, Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. Superficial influence of Multics on Unix is evident in many areas, including the naming of some commands. But the internal design philosophy was quite different, focusing on keeping the system small and simple, and so correcting some deficiencies of Multics because of its high resource demands on the limited computer hardware of the time.
The name Unix (originally Unics) is itself a pun on Multics. The U in Unix is rumored to stand for uniplexed as opposed to the multiplexed of Multics, further underscoring the designers' rejections of Multics' complexity in favor of a more straightforward and workable approach for smaller computers. (Garfinkel and Abelson[18] cite an alternative origin: Peter Neumann at Bell Labs, watching a demonstration of the prototype, suggested the name/pun UNICS (pronounced "Eunuchs"), as a "castrated Multics", although Dennis Ritchie is claimed to have denied this.)
Ken Thompson, in a transcribed 2007 interview with Peter Seibel[20] refers to Multics as "...overdesigned and overbuilt and over everything. It was close to unusable. They (i.e., Massachusetts Institute of Technology) still claim it’s a monstrous success, but it just clearly wasn't." He admits, however, that "the things that I liked enough (about Multics) to actually take were the hierarchical file system and the shell—a separate process that you can replace with some other process."
... the internal SSD went shithouse RIGHT after the warranty expired.
I had a graphics chip fail on a Lenovo ThinkPad once. (Motherboard replacement required). To my surprise, they let me retroactively extend the warranty. (Of course I didn't mention the hardware failure until after renewing the warranty). Later had a Dell laptop repaired after retroactive warranty extension. Sometimes it pays to ask.
The SMB Direct feature sounds interesting. Apparently it was introduced in Windows Server 2012.
It requires a network adapter that supports Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). Here's the part I found interesting:
After at least one RDMA network connection is created, the TCP/IP connection used for the original protocol negotiation is no longer used. However, the TCP/IP connection is retained in case the RDMA network connections fail.
Agreed! I can't even count the number of times I've watched a movie because of very high critic ratings on RT, only to wonder afterward - Why the hell did that movie get such high ratings?
RT critics also seem to heap disproportionate praise on documentaries. I've learned to be very wary of movies with really high ratings from the critics and relatively low audience reviews.
Let's not forget about impossible physics as part of the plot.
Damned straight! It pissed me off that Gravity (2013) had characters floating in orbit, waiting to be impacted by debris in the same orbit! Surely if the debris was travelling at a high enough velocity to overtake and smash into them, it would be orbiting at a different altitude.

Thanks for the enjoy. Your posting contains a lot of funny :)

Solve is not a noun.
... other vendors have taken an option to only scan on the IR spectrum... I will bet you a Marsbar that apple doesn't do it
I'll take that Mars bar.

Does your keyboard not have a " key?
I should have mentioned, you'll probably want to add a storage option such as this for the APU2C4.
You can run pfSense on a small platform such as the APU2C4 from PC Engines. It draws 6W to 12W.
I bought a complete kit from here. Quite happy with it.
Hey Netflix - want to know how to get a wordwide hit? Stop blocking shows based on geolocation.
Good one! But how did you know that I'm fat?

Could you be any more self-absorbed?
Kaspersky should realise that their word... isn't worth shit.
It would seem they're offering more than just "their word". They agreed to turn over their source code.
is a genius.

Plenty of cherry buckling spring keyboards available at a reasonable price.
Ya, I'm typing on one now, but it ain't made with "a good 10 pound of die-cast zinc".
This is unacceptable!
Do they connect to Alabama's "Internet of Thangs"?
because they expire every three months.
All the worms, ransomware, and malware that gets widespread exposure and ends up loaded on millons of vectors is ALWAYS WINDOWS.
Except for little things, like heartbleed?
When was the last time you saw a remote root exploit for SSH?
2001

they're undocumented features.
Medical service providers don't store personal medical records where web crawlers can access them.
