Which is precisely why I switched to a credit union over a decade ago and don't plan on ever going back to a bank.

Unfortunately, I think it would have required a second visit. Until he had confirmation that the court order was for the wrong person; everyone, including the branch manager would have fallen back on "It was a court order. We didn&#x27

I, likewise, eat pork and am not likely to start eating dog but I don't condemn people who do it. It has been done in their cultures for centuries, I don't have the kind of hubris to think that my culinary customs should be everyo

People starve to death every day. How are you defining "rarely"?

I find the hypocrisy amusing. There are people who go apoplectic over dog eating in some parts of Asia but have no problem with pig eating in the west. Pigs have a similar level of intelligence to dogs but it's ok to grow, slaughter, b

My biggest gripe with Ubuntu has been duplicated in Mageia, I'm not likely to switch back.

Dependency hell is why I became a Mandrake and later a Mandriva user. URPMI was groundbreaking. I didn't give up Mandriva until near the end, when I jumped ship to Ubuntu.

I don't know if anyone ever tried it but the Daystar Genesis MP running BeOS would have been phenomenal in its day.

It seems that for the first time in generations, the US is looking at loosening restrictions on guns. There has even been a law introduced to remove silencers from the NFA, which would cause them to be treated much like guns in and of thems

You must disabuse yourself of the notion that it's the job of the police to enforce the law. It's their job to enforce order.

Here, the bike lanes are unusable from November through March but the mayor keeps pushing to have them added at the expense of car lanes.

We're seeing this happen in my city. Areas that were on the verge of becoming urban wastelands 15 years ago are now upscale. They won't ever admit it but city planners are trying to use economic forces to reverse the white flight

I live in Pittsburgh and a single disabled vehicle during the morning commute changes everything. A closure on one of the less traveled routes into the city also has an enormous impact on the commute for everyone.

I only have a passing interest in game development but GOAP sounds amazing. I just started reading about it. Thank you for this.

To license macOS means to support infinite hardware variations, and to rely on OEMs not to suck. Kind of. Apple had to approve any clone designs. It wasn't as willy-nilly as the PC market. At the time Apple allowed cloning, Apple its

When the iMac was introduced, I worked at an Apple dealer. I can still remember one client who used to do video production work on an iMac. There may have been others but I distinctly remember one.

Once I had a situation where I was the developer assigned to a particular interface and my code was synonymous with the code. Unbeknownst to me, a defect was entered and another programmer made a change. It wasn't really a bugfix but m

What exactly is the legitimate use of disabling the webcam indicator remotely? Employer monitoring. Parental monitoring.

I'm sorry to sounds like an old guy but I'd like to see an alternative to systemd.

I add "What" and "How" comments as I code. I add "Why" comments when I review at a later time.

It's arguably the most common family of guns on the planet. I have owned some but it's still an odd unit of measure to me. Along those lines, how many Libraries of Congress is that?

That struck me as odd too. I know roughly how much one of those rifles weighs but I would imagine that the vast majority of the people reading this have never held one.

I can see how my statement was unclear. I'm going to go back and edit it for clarity.

Last year, I interviewed with one of the companies that was born by Westinghouse shedding units a couple of decades ago and they still do this kind of thing. If a Naval unit has an issue, they'll attempt to reproduce it and develop a s

If I live in Ohio but the junior Senator from New York has been talking about introducing federal legislation that will have an effect on me, I have a legitimate reason for wanting to influence the decision of the people in the state of New

Even if it is interference, why should that be banned? If I live in a reliably blue or red state, it doesn't much matter what I do at election time. I'll go and play my role and cast my vote but as an individual, I can't chan
