Like way too many things these days "owning the libs" isn't a one-off purchase, it's a lifetime non-cancellable subscription, and your children and children's children will be paying for it as well.

Because the EMP will go around an AM radio while taking out FM ones?

For all the people saying "hurr, durr, emergencies!", I've been around for awhile and never in my entire life have I needed an AM radio "for emergencies", and that includes in earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, and a (small) tsunami. I carried out an informal poll of a few folks who have been around for rather longer than I have, including one whose life experience goes back almost to the dawn of radio, and none of them could recall ever needing an AM radio "for emergencies" except for the near-centenarian who remembers listening to the radio for warnings about which city the bombers were heading for so they could go down to the cellar. In addition, apart from the near-centenarian, none of them actually owned a radio, or at least new where it was and whether it worked, and the near-centenarian only uses it to listen to Internet streaming because "the AM stations are all rubbish".

Apologies for injecting facts and data into the discussion. As you were.

For me it was looking at the list of updates, there's major new features being added at the rate of one every few days in some cases, there's no way a human is writing the code there.

In that case you die of fenestral plague, not pneumonic plague.

Thanks! As a followup question, what's the Firefox setting for "don't use a gigabyte of memory with one single tab open"? I can't find it under browser.(anything).

The sad thing is that the US actually has some intelligent, educated military leaders, but the DUI hire and the dementia patient have either fired or sidelined any that didn't toe their line. What's left is a small amount of dross and a large amount of ones who don't dare step out of line because they've seen what happens when you do.

The US has rich kings. Europe has (mostly) inoffensive celebrities who preside over the opening of parliament.

CXMT have managed it. And once the AI bubble bursts and HBM gets dumped in landfill because no-one wants any more of it, they'll own the market because Chinese companies can look past the next quarter.

Yes, thank you! If you're ever in Toowoomba let me know, I owe you a pizza from Piccolo Papa.

The automatic response to any "UI refresh": Hey guys, that's a great new feature! Now, how do I disable it?

For any developers working on an UI update, keep in mind that the above sentence is what your users are actually asking for.

"No matter what the customer asks for, what they really want is Excel".

Some people even manage to apply this database program as if it was a spreadsheet, would you believe it?

Oh, I have a cousin
who runs a social network, Roy.
And these trumped up charges,
some nonsense about it making
43M misleading statements.
And the President, who really is
a lovely, lovely man,
he made the whole thing... go away.

It exploits a misuse of RSA that virtually nothing in existence does. When the various standards for RSA were created decades ago, PKCS #1, X9.31, ISO 9796, and so on, they were specifically designed to prevent this type of attack. So it's academically reasonably interesting, but otherwise nothing to worry about unless.

Hollywood accounting will take care of the former, meaning they'll spend $0 more but the books will show $300 million, and whatever the quotas are will be fiddled in a similar manner. So overall they got everything and gave up nothing.
