Pictured are space-bombers. They drop gravity bombs... in space. Please stop talking about scientific accuracy in Star Wars.

I'm just happy that they say "ex-Fox Host" because it implies that people don't know who Bill O'Relliy is.

The biggest difference between transistor radios and BT hardware is that BT will never give you a prize for being the 9th caller.

I'm just starting "blasphemous" and "inscription". I just completed "Axiom Verge".

An (American) football team my family follows used to have a coach that got so upset over plays and calls that he would advance onto the field gesticulating and screaming, causing the team to get penalties.

Did they council this guy to control himself? No. They got someone on staff to physically restrain him when he lost his mind. Like the kid's only job was to grab the coach by the belt-loops and keep him off the field.

I love this story because it's about a masculine man engaging in a masculine activity who cannot be expected to control his own hysterics. I keep it in my back pocket for when the "men are stoic, women are emotional" BS comes up.

This is not about stopping bot-scrapers, it's about charging them.

No recoil, but you might feel a little sting.

This is the first one of these I've upvoted.

Oh no! The harrier? Did they get the specs for the Avro Vulcan? What about the Spitfire?

Back in January Microsoft encrypted all my hard drives without saying anything. I was playing around with a dual boot yesterday and somehow aggravated Secureboot. So my C: panicked and required a 40 character key to unlock.

Your key is backed up to the Microsoft account associated with your install. Which is considerate to the hackers. (and saved me from a re-install) But if you've got an unactivated copy, local account, or don't know your M$ account credentials, your boned.

Control Panel > System Security > Bitlocker Encryption.

BTW, I was aware that M$ was doing this and even made fun of the effected users. Karma.

 
 

I'm looking to drop Legal Eagle because i believe their accelerated release schedule prevents the kind of depth coverage I'm looking for. You guys follow any legal channels that dive into the history and context of the legal issues of the day?
