   I know but it tells a lot of the histor and stories about his interaction with Chris Kraft. In reality the history of both men and of the space program as we know it is very intertwined. Gene was like the "Hand of the King" to Chr

   I did not expect the news of the death of Mr. Kraft to hit me as hard as it did, I never met him personally but somehow I felt very connected to him and his history when I read the book "Failure is not an option". Go with God Mr.

   Funny thing, out of the blue I decided to take practice tests for a ham license last night. Took the practice test about 12 times and got passing score 7 times. Opened HN today and this is one of the top articles... Interesting coincidence.

   Thank you but no, thank you. Too little, for too much, too late. In the best GoT tradition: NOT TODAY!

    I found it amusing to see pictures in the article showing Microsoft's design team using Macs instead of anything else running windows. No "eating your own dog food" here, move along.

    I loved Apple and their products but a series of things made me move away from it. I am now very happy with a much more powerful Lenovo Yoga 730-15 (i7 8Cores + 24Gb-Ram + 1tb SSD) and my new Samsung S10. Until Apple remains just one more i

    Jumped out of the Mac bandwagon last Christmas. Got me a Lenovo Yoga 730 15" with 8core i7 1TB NVMe SSD and 24GB DDR4 and UHD touch-display. All in at $1000. Apple was great while their products were lightyears ahead of everyone else.

    Unbelievable. I cannot get over the absurd failure in having one person, only one person, keep the keys to the whole kingdom... I am sorry for everyone with BTC in this exchange. This sucks royally!

    "From a design standpoint, I think Unit-E missed an opportunity to built a vertical tower reminiscent of older PCs, though the beige color scheme is certainly a throwback, and the faux floppy drive is cool..." Nah. IMHO the 1980&

    SPOILER ALERT: Sounds like the plot of the sci-fi book Artemis by Andy Weir. Great Book and there's also a kick ass Audible version read by Rosario Dawson

    What is interesting is that this app allows me to see exactly what processes are attempting to access the camera and mic. I agree it can be a vector but the benefit of getting alerted every time something tries to access mic and camera hard

    Nothing wrong if this is how you roll. Killing the hardware is always a "last resort" thing for me. #savage hehehehe.

    We won't. If any new conflict actually escalates to the proportions of a world war it'll be much much worse than the world wars of the past, it'll be a thermonuclear holocaust, an extinction scale event. Apparently, we as a s
