Given Trump's picks so far? I expect the new head to be either a businessman worth a few hundred million dollars at least, or a former head of an anti-immigration pressure group.
Or, maybe, DB Cooper. I hear he's doing well - or as well as Frederick Douglass anyway - and knows how to keep the FBI on its toes.
Or you could do what most people do and keep the same password and affix "1" "2" "3" to the end of it every time they tell you to change your password.
Many systems do not allow you the repeat sequences.

Yes, all actors are vapid simpletons, incapable of cogent thought:
For example: Dolph Lundgren:
Lundgren received a degree in chemical engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in the early 1980s and a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Sydney in 1982.
Lundgren was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1983.
There is zero reason to give them anything but their last paycheck on the way out the door.
As a veteran, I pretty much agree with this. The military is 100% volunteer, and the pay is pretty good. Of course we need to take care of people that were wounded or disabled in the line of duty, but for everyone else, the handouts and entitlements are excessive.
I imagine the pay isn't as good as in the private sector, and volunteering is more noble than otherwise. I've never served in the military, and appreciate that you and others volunteered to risk you life for the country and its people - or for others elsewhere. I have no problem with affording some of my tax dollars to help express that appreciation, even after you separate from service.
The benefits are also heavily skewed toward those that need them the least. I used a VA loan... which I am happy to accept but certainly don't "need". Yet many veterans living in trailer parks don't have the ability or knowledge to benefit from the same program.
Perhaps some effort should be spent ensuring active duty personnel and veterans are offered opportunities to learn regular-world life skills so they could better benefit from these veterans' programs. The rest of us get to learn these thing while we're young and starting out, while you're learning to defend us. Giving you some opportunity to catch up with the rest of us seems reasonable.
Of course, there will always be those you can take out of the trailer park, but can't take the trailer park out of them. (Said as someone who lived in one my first year of college, but am now 54 and a senior software developer at a large defense contractor.)
And, you know, a rooster is a type of bird and a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. (Pretty sure the "penis" analogy will track that nicely too.)
All the complaints are just political theatre, Conservatives don't actually care that if it's homophobic or not, they just know it sounds homophobic and that's enough to trigger the faux-outrage.
Exactly. Someone complained on Twitter that if Rush had said that about Obama, Liberals would have freaked out. Perhaps that's true, but I contend that, had that happened, the guy who tweeted that would have simply checked "Like".
People get bent out of shape (or pretend to) way too easily these days - or do so not really understanding why.
For example, during a preview for the movie, "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power" when it showed Trump saying he'd shutdown the EPA, I heard my mother say, "Good". I thought to myself, "What the fuck has the EPA every done to her?" (Answer: Nothing. Mom is 75 and watches a LOT of Fox News - sigh.)
This reader could then track when food is going bad or needs to be reordered.
Other than "expiration" or "sell by" date, how would an tag or RFID sensor/reader track when something is going bad? Those dates are almost always very conservative and relying solely on them would lead to a LOT of food waste.
As for "or needs to be reordered", how would it know when to do that? For example, how would the system know how much (say) milk was left in the container? I know I don't always pour an exact cup every time I pull the container.
Prior to turning my body cam on I conducted the search. Once I found the (expletive referring to evidence), I stepped back, called (a fellow officer), then activated my body cam and walked the courts through it."
Okay. Why wasn't his (expletive deleted) body camera already on, like, from the start of the incident? The cameras are to document things and/or prevent bad behavior (by all parties). As such, it should be on all the time during an incident, not just when convenient or beneficial for the Police.
Instead of using the touch pad and relocating the cursor... Or finding your mouse and doing the same you simply touch and drag your finger over the spot you are already focused on.
Thanks for explaining how a touch screen works.:-)

I've heard of a horse....
But what is a "draft" horse?
It's what came before "bottled horse" was invented.

"The S8 is made almost entirely of glass, and has barely any top or bottom bezel, which is why the phone is marketed as having an "infinity screen."
An infinity screen.
So much for common sense design.
Could be worse. Could be made with an Infinity Stone - holding *that* would be a bitch.
I'm not upgrading from my waterproof, durable S5 with easily replacable battery, SD card slot, and headphone jack, ...
My Kyocera Hydro VIBE has all that, so ditto.
And moderators that don't understand sarcasm, mod posts troll - frelling /. (sigh)

"Authentication still worked" even when the wrong hash was entered, Tenable Director of Reverse Engineering Carlos Perez wrote.
He and I have different definitions for the word "worked".
I meant catch up in other ways. Sorry if that was unclear.
BSD is not for the masses. Yes, that sounds elitist, but fuck it. I just want a decent OS, and I want it to stay that way.
Well, you could use a Mac and OS X - oh wait, it's based on BSD. Never mind.

He was looking for a way to depict Trump as sexual partner for Putin ...
Or Putin's bitch. No matter, that picture has been painted and no amount of therapy is going to make it go away. #ThanksColbert

President Trump is a truly worthy successor to Lincoln and Reagan. Keep up the good work, sir!
Be careful, saying anything positive about the Trumpster around here is a good way to lose a lot of karma around here.
I think it was more likely a reference to the fact that both Lincoln and Reagan were shot.
