My first 'piracy' would have been the copy of windows + office that my dad had at work and brought home to install on the home computer, well before I'd ever heard of the internet.

about 97ish the best you could do was local call rates (either 0845, or just a local dial in number). At the weekend that was 1p per minute. Downloading a 40 minute episodes would take 4 hours, so £2.40. That's £4.50 today, or $6.25.

As someone who grew up in the UK in the late 90s, with a taste for American media, especially scifi, and the Internet a widespread thing, it was infuriating waiting for TV shows to come to the screen months or even years behind the rest of

Do you count typing posts on social media as "speaking to another human being"? I'm far more comfortable typing this than I was when a collegue from another department who I've never met before just popped into my van to

The term Engineer is pretty much meaningless in the US. The IT trade is pathetic in this area -- if you swap out a few cat5s you're suddenly an "Network Engineer". Cut and paste some stackoverflow snippets together and you&#x

In many countries, Engineer is a protected status job title. In the US I believe "Professional Engineer" is protected In the US, going to school to become a Graduate Engineer does not make you a Professional Engineer.

If you could somehow accelerate at 1G indefinitely you can get anywhere in the universe in a human lifespan. Of course to accelerate a 1000 ton spaceship you'd need about 4 quadrillion tons of fuel.

A network suggests a DNS server You can choose to use that server or not If a network intercepts your DNS traffic, you can encrypt it yourself. If you don't trust the network you should be encrypting everything anyway

It amazes me how people think the worlds largest advertising company is pushing DoH out of alturism. That pihole you're running? That 'steals' money from google. DOH gets rid of that.

Yes, canary domain is fine - at least while it still works. I don't want to have to configure DNS for 50 different applications on 20 different machines. My OS does DNS, and my DHCP server doles out the DNS server I want my machines to

Wifi with captive portals work by redirecting all of your outgoing traffic to a specific host - send a packet to 12.34.56.78 and it gets natted to 10.0.0.1 (or wherever the captive portal is). When you connect to wifi, many (most?) OSes and

Why do you want to sell something as congac other than to pretend your product is from Congac? Why can't your product stand on its own two feet? You could call it "Moldovan Brandy" and be done with it.

Sure, it's also their choice. I wouldn't buy Nike trainers or Levi jeans, but I'm sure some people do, and by taking away that choice you are stealing from them.

Which is why the Nike brand shouldn't be on them. As a consumer I want to know who made it. By all means sell the same shoes and call them "Victoria" or "Kratos" or something, and I might even buy them if I felt the
