    yeah.... and 30 miles per hour! How can a person breathe at that speed!

  2. just the faxes, ma'am on Malicious Faxes Leave Firms 'Open' To Cyber-Attack (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe we can finally get rid of one of the klugiest pieces of technology ever invented. Email anybody?

  3. Re:Bias? on NASA Successfully Launches Parker Solar Probe (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    There is some aspects of this mission that are extremely unique, the main one being that it is all down, all in retro. It just falls in to the gravity well of the Sun, using the well of Venus to slow it down a few times (as opposed to slingshotting off out of the Solar System). All down, all down. Very unique mission.

  4. Re:"We understand the importance of this to you al on Avast Pulls the Latest Version of CCleaner Following Privacy Controversy (betanews.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    quite. If they understood the importance of it, why was it ever removed? Yuppie management BS trying to cover up lame monetization attempts that threatened the viability of the software. Typical.

  5. dimes for some on Scientists Stunned as Medical Non-Profit Group Abruptly Ends Research Grants (nature.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    March of Dimes for you, March of Millions fro the CEO and cronies.

  6. can you imagine what this can do for a fastball? a splitter? oy!

    excellent response. and what about the frogs? who will speak for the frogs?

    and a paper-tape reader.

  9. Never said we should accept; putting words in others mouth is always SUCH a good way to present your argument. But until I see DC lining people up for re-education/relocation I am using orders of magnitude to differentiate between the two. If you wish to see the world in an Aristotlean value system that is your choice. Others see spectra.

  10. Ever hear of The Red Guard? The Cultural Revolution maybe? People subjected to years of torture and hard labor for being a teacher? The forced relocation of millions of citizens, killing many and destroying families in perpetuity? But yeah, those incompetent money-changers in Washington are worse, so much worse. All hail President-for-Life Xi.

  11. gotta get those backdoors out there somehow!

  12. Major ZTE layoffs would be a huge hit to the Chinese economy. Interesting times...

  13. How do you defend your flank in space?

  15. Goobris? on Google Promises Its AI Will Not Be Used For Weapons (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Google telling us what the future will bring is typical tone-deaf, snow-blind hubris. It's so typical I would like to suggest a new word for it: Goobris.

  16. I bet the cop got pretty pissed when he figured out there was no one he could run in.

    Looks like the IRA Kaspersky fanboys are still working overtime.

  18. Blows Kaspersky's argument on Russia Demands Apple Remove Telegram From Russian App Store (macrumors.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This does a lot to blow Kaspersky's claim to be completely independent of the Russian government out of the water. If their Bureau of Information Control is going to try to control Apple - a company that exists well outside the Putin sphere of influence - why wouldn't they demand the same control of software installed on millions of computers worldwide? It's more and more obvious that Kaspersky did bow down and kiss Putin's ring long ago. Gee, what's next? We find out that the Chinese Bureau of Information Control really does have backdoors in ZTE and Huwei gear? What a surprise.

  19. but video games and school shootings have nothing to do with each other.

    I remember that. I was in charge of an early cluster consisting of an 11/34, and 11/44, and an 11/70. The 44 had RSTS for a while, but we eventually went over to RSX-11M like the other 2. Teco anybody? DECNet? Hard drives the size of washing machines?

  22. no tomorrow on Who Killed The Junior Developer? (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    They want experienced developers just out of school. "Long-term planning" in these companies is equivalent to "What's for lunch?" Yeah... that'll go far.
