One desk for my laptop, file server and 23" monitor, the other desk for my video editing PC, Red Hat Linux PC, and 23" monitor. I also have folding table to store my electronic parts, soldering irons and testing equipment.
Many years ago I bought my current desk from the OfficeMax store for $55. Several months later I got an OfficeMax coupon for $50 off ANY desk with no other restrictions listed. So I went back to the store, pulled the desk off the shelf, and presented the coupon to the cashier clerk. The register refused to accept the coupon. When the manager came over, I pointed out the word "ANY" on the coupon, and he overrode the register. I got a $55 desk for $5 plus tax. Later on I got another $50 coupon without the word "ANY" and restricted to $500+ desks.
Can you provide an Amazon referral link to a book about Neo-Nazis?
On my reading list is "Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich" by Norman Ohler and translated by Shaun Whiteside. Nazi Germany was strung out on amphetamines when they started WW2. It wouldn't surprise me if Neo-Nazis were meth heads and/or drug traffickers.
You can easiy get 100% avoidance by just not using email and otherwise communicating with anybody.
The prime contractor for the government project that I work on implemented an aggressive phishing campaign by their security consultants. Click on phishing email, take more training. Click on too many phishing emails, get written up. My coworkers and I stopped reading emails from the prime contractor, which was mostly password reset and IT notifications. Upper management is confused as to why so many project managers are relaying information in the weekly staff meetings instead of email. Maybe they should ask their security consultants.
If you watch enough of the old Doctor Who TV series (I've seen every episode), the mechanics of time travel and channel surfing isn't that hard to figure out.
I was in the SF Bay Area in the early to mid-90s and I only remember the local PBS station showing Red Dwarf during a telethon where you could get a tote bag.
Sounds like Channel 9 in San Francisco. That was probably after Channel 54 couldn't afford to pay $50,000 to create from scratch a replacement vacuum tube for the transmitter in their San Jose tower, folded into Channel 9, and started broadcasting from the San Francisco tower.
I had a black-and-white TV as a kid in Silicon Valley during the late 1970's and early 1980's. Of the 100 channels, most had static, ABC, CBS and NBC came in clear, and Channel 2 (Oakland) came in clear if the SF Bay Area was under a cloud bank. Those channels I watched with my parents in the living room The only channel I watched consistently on my TV was PBS on Channel 54. Not only did it have educational programming, it had a ton of British TV shows like Dr. Who, Blake's Seven and Red Dwarf. I also had a switch box for the antennae, Atari 2600 and Commodore 64.
While at the bus stop after my gym workout. I did a search for "Jaws", found no reference and posted my comment. Only later did I saw that someone posted a reference to the novel without using the title. I seriously wonder how many people knew that Peter Benchley was the author of "Jaws," or that he had a cameo in the movie as the television reporter on the beach. The link regarding the Indianapolis monologue was worth the five point moderation.:P
Or, more likely, they're switching everyone over to Office 365 and decided to migrate all the accounts at the same time. That's usually a recipe for disaster. The three-letter agency that I work for is taking months to complete the migration, resulting in minor issues for some people and a whole lot of bitching by everyone else over the new interface.
IBM used to provide help desk services for larger corporations and government entities. I worked for them for three years after the dot com bust. I've encountered many former IBM shops over the years. You could always tell with the presence of IBM/Lenovo laptops and/or the requirement of Lotus Notes in the job description (I've never seen it in the field). The three-letter agency I work for now used to be an IBM shop, but Dell laptops have completely taken over in the last few years.
I never liked the book. Mostly because I saw the movie years before I read the book. I wasn't thrilled with the subplot of the chief's wife and the biologist having affair, the wife hiding the black panties in the hamper, and the biologist getting killed at the end (which he thoroughly deserved for not keeping his pants zipped). That was so 1970-ish. Seems like every novel from that era had someone cheating on their spouse.

Those new meds are working great, Chris.
Oh, crap! I forgot to take my vitamins this morning!! I've been pissing cheap urine all day!!! Thanks for reminding me!!!!
In Japan, I would be too skinny to qualify as a sumo wrestler (400 to 600 pounds).
You forgot to mention that one is also used as your dining table and the other one as your bed in your Japanese style apartment.
I have a separate kitchen table and a twin bed. My 475-sqft studio apartment would be a mansion in Japan.

Why do you need two desks?
One desk for my laptop, file server and 23" monitor, the other desk for my video editing PC, Red Hat Linux PC, and 23" monitor. I also have folding table to store my electronic parts, soldering irons and testing equipment.

Whenever something JavaScript-related pops up on Slashdot, no one has ever heard of it.

That's why my daddy always used a quarter-stick of dynamite when fishing. The fishes won't know what hit them first.
Try War of the Overworld.
Thanks for point this out!
Imagine a Dungeon Keeper on the iPad, I guess I would have to apply for social aid as I would be unable to work anything.
The iOS version exists. The reviews aren't great.
You watched Red Dwarf in the early 1980s?

A modern version of Dungeon Keeper 2.
And if it's multi-vitamins, you realize that all they achieve is expensive urine?
I'm shocked — shocked! — that you would suggest that I piss away cheap urine! My gawd... The nerve of some people.
And you "tie up" to a pier. You don't fucking dock your ship at a pier.
Unless it's a space dock. Then you certainly do want to dock your ship, come aboard the station and gamble some money at Quark's.

Wow, have you had your medication adjusted? You're funny and almost ... pleasant.
