I wish I could be surprised and I can see this happening in many places. This type of 'fraud' was predicted when we allowed the stores to stop marking items with the price. Many places were I shop, hardly any products are lined u

My first thought was "defend itself from what ?", but in this new ages of drones, I guess it could be an issue. IIRC, doesn't Ireland pay the UK for some type of defense ?

That seems fine, but what about Adult Children ? And maybe their children. Their parents had them and some became citizens once they became adults (kids 18+ years old). If ended it will be a big mess I think. But if they do end it, maybe

We know the current supreme court will end this. But the big question is how will this be enforced ? What happens if the parents became citizens after their children were born. Will the children be deemed non-US ? Also I know many people w

Excel is where it is due to a kind of mild bait and switch. In the DOS and OS/2 days before Windows 95, Microsoft told Lotus and other software companies OS2 was the future, not windows. So Lotus when all in on OS/2 with its spr

Yes I know this is technically true. One could use iptables, but it is easier for people (users) to do this instead of getting iptables / pf or whatever configured. It is one size fits all.

No, but a great site! When we ran into him, it was before 2005 or so. But the unicycle look like it. He was riding across the US. If I find the site I will post it here.

I guess he is looking directly at IBM's cash cow, the mainframe business. But, I think he is correct, we will see. I still believe AI will not give the CEOs what they really want, no or very cheap labor.

I like this type of music when working and other things, that does not get many mentions. And they play a decent amount of Brian Eno's stuff. http://www.echoesofbluemars.org/ I think their bluemars stream is great.

A long time ago I was out for a ride with some friends. A guy on a unicycle ran into us and rode with us for 20 miles (~25km). He was riding across country (US) and his setup was amazing, his wheel was maybe 700x35, his things were packed

IIRC, Massachusetts passed a right-to-repair law a few years ago. Based upon the text of the law, all new cars purchased there have the spying disabled because they did not want to give up their proprietary info. There have been a lot of c

And with 7.8, networking speed has improved, not that it was that bad anyway. But the best thing about OpenBSD and *BSD in general, administration is consistent release after release.

And in the old days, there was disp_printf() from Zortech. That was a very nice printf. You supplied the row and column to allow printing anywhere on the terminal.

IN 1995, I think there were some proprietary offerings, one company in Massachusetts was purchased by IBM back then. But on the minis (non-DEC) I worked on back then, there was nothing. We kept a specific drive that had source current sour

Correct. I had used both at work up until around 2005. The idiot large companies I worked at did not believe in Source Code Control. That is the one thing I liked about RCS/SCCS, once I checked out an item, no one could check in the
