I too was expecting the Chaos Computer Club, since it looks like they predate CDC by about 3 years. Did the writer not even do a minimal amount of research before submitting the article?
What would be hilarious would be if the journalist agencies got their tax, and then those receiving the tax revenues were required to uphold the Bill of Rights and the rest of the Constitution where applicable, since the tax dollars they are getting are public funds.
Comparing medicine to journalism is nota a very good analogy. The "professionals" are reserved for things you can not do yourself. If I sprain my wrist, I will just wrap an Ace bandage around it instead of making a trip to the emergency room and paying out the wazoo for a doctor to put an Ace bandage on it and tell me to be more careful.
If I oops and cut my finger, I'll just wash the wound, put some alcohol on it (isopropyl or even Listerine), say the fuck word a few times while it stings, and apply a bandaid. Going to a doctor, he would wash the wound, disinfect it, put a bandaid on it, and tell me to not let inanimate objects kick my ass...Then I say the fuck word a few times when I see the bill.
However, if I am looking for news on an event; there is really nothing a professional journalist can tell me that individuals who are right there recording everything as it happens can't tell me.
All my Win 7 systems use the version of Wordpad from XP, instead of the pointlessly overhauled WP that shipped with 7. I also had to put Starfield from XP on all our W7 systems here at home; since Starfield is the only screen saver that matters.:)
When I used to tinker around with Linux, Nano was always one of the first things I installed for a text editor. Come to think of it, back then, even after I got a fully operational desktop with LibreOffice and a few additional little editors, I would still often go to a terminal window and run Nano most of the time when I needed to edit a file.
It wasn't until within the past year I discovered that I could switch from Standard Mode to Scientific (under the View menu, or otherwise Alt+2). Putting it in scientific mode makes it follow the proper order of operations.
Or perhaps the companies can pay a wage to their employees that covers the cost of living for the area they live? If they can't do that, then they don't really deserve to be in business.
I remember when I finally got a tape recorder with a counter. It was a neat "portable" Panasonic that my folks bought to go with the TI-99/4a I was getting. I learned early on to annotate the counter position for each song on the sleeves of my mix tapes.
I was real pleased to find the identical model not long after I got my replacement TI (I was going through a collect one of each phase by the mid to late 90s; but that is a whole 'nother set of fun nostalgic yarns).
Thinking back, it would seem like a tech like that must have greatly reduced the life of the media. Would a feature like that be the equivalent of holding FF part way down while pressing play? It would seem so, since it would need to detect the silence. And that seems like it would have put excessive stress on the tape, which would have ultimately stretched it out and cause it to snap.
Always hated that the Cantina Band and Princess Leia's Themes were two of the unfortunate victims of splitting the song between tracks on my Star Wars soundtrack back in the day.

Well, in my defense, I was making the mistake of posting before 1st cup of J.

They are probably being trained by whoever it is trying to get the voting age lowered to 16 so children can dictate adult policy.
Wouldn't you rather listen to Fingerbang?
So what is stopping you? Hop to it and show everyone.
Pi R Round, not Square
Now rise for our hymn, In the Garden of Eden, by I. Ron Butterfly.
I'm skipping this one and holding out for Shazam instead.
I call that coming up for air.
I want to cast Magic Missile.
Let us just go with the safe pronoun: s/h/it

Self-Driving Cars May Hit People With Darker Skin More Often
When I first read that, I wasn't sure if it was a statistic, or the latest executive order from the president.
When I first read it, I immediately thought of a Stupid Kid Joke(tm) learned way back in that weird era known as the 1970s.
Not giving the set up, just the punch line...
"No, but I got him with the gas can."

It has access to the Windows clipboard. Is there any way that can be exploited? Just curious.
How will that affect my formula of Pi R Round !Square?
Reversi.
And Reversi too! Yes! All of this plus Reversi!!!
Edlin should be more than enough text editor ability for any one.
