A lot of union leaders should be given the first class Hoffa treatment.

Folks afflicted with TDS should seek out therapy.

Ha! Thx, I knew I was forgetting an important detail.

Once there is no longer any communication from it to Earth and with nothing else to do it'll just continue on through interstellar space slowly accumulating stray bits of matter which will continue to be caught up in it's small gravity well. Which over the course of many years will serve to continue multiplying it's overall mass by insane proportions. Bombarded by all the cosmic rays over the course of centuries will have nearly wiped most all of the legible identifiable marks from it's hull, and affected its programming by some unknown level. So that by the year 2273, if anyone or anything just so happens to find it, then it'll only be known as V'ger.

Another case of the woke mentally retarded.

The only fiber in my area is Windstream which I'm happy for as they've never capped me. I was on 200 megabits bonded vdsl2 until they brought their fiber in that I instantly switched to. Hell I've even ran a seedbox from home for a few months that would have regularly passed Comcasts limits while I was moving my domain which I was lazy enough that it took a while to get off my ass and find a new host to move a seedbox and SHOUTcast stream to. And never had a problem (so far - knock on wood).

I don't quite understand why this has gotten more "noise" when after the attack last October they pretty much did the same for any code pushed or reverts from Palestinians although they made the same exceptions for unblocking with "sufficient documentation provided" as was also stated in this article. There was zero posts on Slashdot about that when it happened, although there was one on news.ycombinator that had some people upset and making a lot of the same arguments that people now are making in support of Russian linux developers.

I admit I'm probably wrong but while I don't really pay close attention to foreign drama nuances, the selective outrage seems weird.

"Wizard of Id's Wiztype" was the best anyhow. I don't remember anyone liking Mavis Beacon.

There was the popular story of the "nuclear boy scout" I thought I'd add, in case some hadn't heard about him...

About David Hahn, while his life went downhill in later years as a teenager David was a boy scout in 1994 and was wanting to get a rare atomic energy scout badge. So he built a secret breeder reactor in a backyard shed at his parent's house. While he did become an eagle scout, that backyard shed scared local authorities when they found suspicious items in David's car during a stop and it led to finding the reactor which they panicked and thought the boy had built or was building an atomic bomb so they called in the FBI and EPA.

Quote from Wikipedia:

David went on to serve in both the US Navy and Marines. Sadly his life spiraled due to drugs and he passed away at age 39. In 2016.

Theres a cool documentary called "The nuclear boy scout", plus countless youtube videos about him.
The Wikipedia article talks about how he acquired and built his neutron source as well as how his entire parents property was turned into a government superfund site.

Being told I'd miss out on AI would have the opposite effect I think Meta would have intended. At least for me I guess. As I wouldn't want any part of it, and I'd thank them for keeping it away. hehe ;-)

I forget just how much fun working in IT was early on, heh...

In the mid to late 90s I worked for a fairly decent sized ISP. It was fairly normal to see a lot of us as well as many of our bosses be working while also playing svgalib/quakeworld, then later on playing what became very popular for "lan party" at work with stuff like age of empires, command & conquer, and starcraft.

And of course a lot of us would be downloading music, TV shows or movies from the newsgroups while at work including bosses. Heh its kinda ridiculous or silly now, but nostalgia is a helluva drug, early IT job was a ton of fun ;-)

Hell I'd love to do that to Biden. Right between the eyes

I drive a 1995 Chevrolet S-10, if they'll buy me a large pepperoni pizza I'll let them slide. ;-)

No they aren't. Corporations do as well. US Supreme Court has defined the idea of "Corporate Personhood" from 1819 to 2013 in various cases.

  A general definition of course is:
"Corporate personhood or juridical personality is the legal notion that a juridical person such as a corporation, separately from its associated human beings (like owners, managers, or employees), has at least some of the legal rights and responsibilities enjoyed by natural persons. In most countries, a corporation has the same rights as a natural person to hold property, enter into contracts, and to sue or be sued. "

Many countries, with different political ideologies also have the idea of corporate personhood, even the pinkos. ;-)

Especially when it comes to Blackrock being involved.
