I was thinking something similar. Now to figure out how to work a Uranus joke into the mix somehow. Perhaps after I finish my wake up and get through my 2nd cup of J.:)
The movie was okay. But it really should have been its own standalone property instead of relying on the John Carter name. I read all the books back in jr. high, a hardback collection that a grunkle (would have been grunkle to me) gave my dad when he was around 11 or 12. My youngest sister is "caretaker" of that collection. I'm quite happy to just have a paperback set with all the Whelan covers.
And I have to say, if they ever reprinted them again and got either Larry Elmore or Greg Hildebrandt to to the covers, I would have to get them all again.
To me, the name brings to mind Tara of Helium from the john Carter series. However, I can't help but picture her looking like a clone of Thuvia (from the Michael Whelan cover).
Now I want pterodactyl fried steak smothered in country gravy. No bronto ribs though, a rack of those would turn my little Geo Metro over onto her side.
It's not so much power outages that are the big issue, but network outages in general, which does not have power outage as a prerequisite.
Around here, there have been more than a few occasions where I go to Dollar Tree, or Safeway, or Salvation Army, and their card swiper network is down (and typically any places that use the same service are affected). When that happens, it is cash only. At least it is not yet cash, grass, or ass (where ass can just mean physical labor and not, you know...giggity).
Those HP beasts are real workhorses. Got enough refilled toner cartridges for mine to last the rest of my life (unless I meet my objective of at least 108 so I can say I experienced both the U.S. Bicentennial and Tricentennial)
Since I sell a lot of stuff on Etsy and eBay (2017 has been a great year for sales of various collectibles and other miscellany I deal in), I print stuff daily, except usually on the weekends when I let sales accumulate and then do my packaging and shipping on Monday. I use a networked HP LaserJet 4100 that my little brother gave me (along with enough refilled toner cartridges to last me a lifetime. I think I have only had to replace the cartridge once during the past decade I have had the printer...At least I think it has been that long).
Also have an old Kodak EasyShare photo printer hooked up to an XP box for when I want a framed color print of something. Probably about time to get this Scrooge McDuck piece finally printed out and framed for my workspace: https://cdn-ssl.s7.disneystore...
They're saying if you can access it publicly, claiming it's "felony hacking" is complete bullshit.
The information is there, on a web server to be accessed, is totally unsecured.. the notion that you've committed a felony by pointing a browser or agent at it and downloading a page without bypassing any security mechanism is ridiculous.
It is gross over-reach to call accessing information published on your website (without any authentication required) "hacking" or a "crime".
Imagine if the copyright lobby tried to argue that by looking at someone else's newspaper on the bus you've violated their copyright because you weren't licensed to do so.
The standard of "hacking" has to be more than "made http request and got a response". They may not want you to access it without their permissions, but it's not like anybody was bypassing any actual security... don't want that? Make your site login-only and don't serve up data.
This is LinkedIn (and by proxy Microsoft) trying to over apply a badly written law.
Look at it this way. If they manage to get their way, then there will be a much quicker and easier means to have people you don't approve of be stripped of not only their right to vote, but also their 2nd Amendment right. Because, you know...felon!
Intelligent life has had more than enough time to fill every corner of the galaxy, even traveling at sub-light speeds
Even traveling at light speed 1 million years is not enough to go from one galaxy to the nearest one.
With the nearest galaxy being about 70,000 light years away, it would take only 70,000 years to get there at the speed of light, not in excess of 1,000,000 years (or 25,000 if the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is counted).
I may only be 50 (or will be the 20th of next month), but even I can remember when the biggest qualifications for getting hired were a desire to work and either an aptitude for the job or willingness to be quickly trained and brought up to speed for the tasks.

cdreimer is obviously a time traveler from after 2620, when Uranus got renamed to put an end to "those" jokes once and for all.
Screw SHIELD. Heil Hydra! (now new and improved without Ward)
Or as another simpler example, my first Straight Talk phone not being able to correctly scan most UPCs. My second and current one does fine though.

I find just a suitably specced computer connected to one of the HDMI ports on the TV is suitable for all my media needs.
Titty chips and smelly tampon boogers have been added to your list.

If there was any truth to that myth, then that means the Abrahamic deity failed by allowing so many of its creations to go extinct.

Dutch and wind in the article, and no one has posted some sort of Dutch Oven joke yet?
I would, but I'm coming up with nothing at the moment.

One token ring to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them.

That would be an awesome name for a model of short bus.
