Guam Dynamo? I know it had a really ritzy sounding name

Sounds like a disorder relating to MPD, but it could be any number of things. My advice is to be supportive as much as you can be, when ones own mind is the issue it just feels impossible to deal with.

Not all disorders are ones that will affect work in "predictable" ways, everyone is different. They might just like practicing dialects and not have particularly strong social and coping skills.

As difficult as it can be to interact with people like that, keep in mind their perspective: it might feel like everyone wants to alienate them which makes it difficult to interact without that assumption tainting the experience.

Incognito mode and reopening closed tabs.

I have no issue with LTT as a whole, I just really don't like Linus. He portrays an almost weaponized incompetence in a lot of computing topics and doesn't accurately represent his own lack of understanding to the audience that couldn't tell on their own. By all accounts there is one hell of a team working there, they just chose a really bad face to represent the actual content.

Just my personal take for what it's worth.

In the US it isn't even usually trespassing, it is specifically illegal to sleep in your car, even on public property.

Large swaths of the US

Yeah, and the consequence of them using the dataset is massive amounts of people contribute useful data to the project. It is a fair exchange in my opinion. There are lots of reasons to hate Pokemon Go, but this isn't one of them. You can use the maps too, and they are far better as a result of PGO using them.

It would be really neat to see the differences between instances that take part in the polls, I think it would work fine.

A lot of modern places use shibboleth and 2FA keys these days, but the military still uses smart card authentication

You seriously underestimate the stupidity of 80% of windows users. They could put multiple warnings and people would still click past them without reading then bitch to their IT team when they break something.

Haha, unfortunately no. None of the blades used a windowing system, so we technically wouldn't have been able to as there is no graphical output (well, the IPMI controllers could have, but that's kind of cheating). Although, as I'm thinking about it... We probably could have run it over ASCII graphics in a terminal... Man, that was a bit of a wasted opportunity, weather modelling is boring as hell.

We were running meteorological models mostly, but I did have a colleague that was trying to use it to predict wildlife migratory patterns using topographical mapping. It was batched out on a few projects at any given time while I was there, it was essentially timeshares between a few different research departments.
