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?

"I'm a lethal threat to the women close to me" is surprisingly honest and open misogyny . You'd probably hit the front page of Reddit with this meme.

I'm trying to imagine the user that both needs a text editor in the command line, yet is uncomfortable outside a gui.

I write scripts all day, but closing a program without clicking the little 'x' is scary and weird.

What are you even talking about!? Nobody gives a shit if they bomb or kill people. Raising gas prices will bring more military consequences in a week than you'd get for a hundred years of genocide.

Democrats pretend to be progressive the way Republicans pretend to be Christian. Just a virtue signal that can be jettisoned the instant it becomes inconvenient to power.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

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.
