Re: Backup Power

Thought about that too - where tf was their backup power - then considered what they're using in machinery. Nope. Backup power plants would cost more than what they lost, can you imagine? lol...

Re: Didn't notice...

Facts are so much better than fiction - people and the things they do to screw each other over, with the different technologies available for fucking over your favorite human, it's crazier than fiction.

Re: DigitalOcean hosts hackers

Damn straight, that's a lot of meatballs...

Re: Friend of mine had a Chevette with that 'feature'

Number 7 cylinder would start pumping oil after 50k miles... yeah I know that engine...

No one wants 'black'? Both of my vehicles are black, I prefer it.

As far as pricing, I initially thought so too until I priced an F150 truck - $50k average starting price - and if you wanted a car, too bad - Ford is dropping all sedans other than the Mustang and the Fusion, will just be producing SUV's and trucks in the future - like Fiat did with Dodge.

/agree that the Tesla's are ugly - dream is to gather a few totalled Teslas and xfer the tech into a Mustang - that would trip the plebs out lol.

Re: I can only assume...

> How many staff will microsoft be putting on moderation duties?

They will be pulled from the Windows 10 QC team...

good morning, Bob...

Re: Cloud Storage

hehe, reminded me of my old Sony camera that uses 3.5" floppy disks & AA batteries... the joke is so old, doesn't qualify for a dad joke...

Y'all have a great day - I'm gonna go see if I can find that camera lol... Box around here somewhere...

Re: So it wasn't his job

Every day is/was sensuous until I went off on some folks on a maintenance round...

'Sensuous here, can you take a look a <machine name>? It's been doing <whatever>.'

'What? Since when?'

'Three weeks ago'

'!?!? Why didn't you call me?'

'Figured it could wait until now'

...<blood shoots out eyes, I'm on a schedule>

'No. You waited until you could get the problem fixed for free - Y'all do this to me all the time and it ain't right and you know it!

'I didn't realize....'

'The HELL you didn't, <insert name here>! You're a dentist for God's sake! You don't do a DAMN thing "sensuous here", so why pull it on me?'

'I'm sorry, 404.'

Honestly should have lost the client, but they were wrong and they knew it. Hasn't happened since.

Re: Is this the data..

That's how you know it's working lmfao...

Re: Austin isn't really Texas

Good place to party - they even close down streets for pub crawls...

Re: Clarity needed here - swap out components?

Pricey? Why? A Bluetooth OBDII sending unit for $20 and a $10 app (Dash Command in my case) on a tablet/phone is all you need. Replaced my $100-$300 scanners with that setup.

Pitiful!

I got laid in the back of a 1971 Ford Pinto... and no, it was not the hatchback version.

;)

More people go into these buildings than buses or trains, so why not 'peoplestation'? Or just simplify to transportation hub? idk, just throwing out stuff to see what sticks lmao...

Re: The USA wants Assange for what he did

I found the disconnect - I served in the US Army in the early 80's - the agreement to allow fixed wing aircraft happened in 1983 and really didn't occur until 1988, well after I was gone.

Re: @Cavehomme_

You know... Samsung could build the ultimate foldable phone, where angels sing hosannas in the background during a call, and you're automatically admitted into Heaven - but I wouldn't buy one because Samsung won't support the damn thing past the first year...

Yeah, I said it.

Re: Not quite relevant, but might share anyhow

5.8 pounds.

Serial port, 2 -2.0 USB, 2- 3.0 USB, VGA, HDMI, ethernet, 4G, external GPS antenna, mic, headphone, and a SD slot. Touchscreen, pen, etc. Battery good for about 10 hours. Whole enchilada.

I like it lol.

Re: @Andrew Heenan

Back in the long ago I thought Bob was The Shit... Also liked OS/2 Warp but there I go again...

Re: another wrinkle

They would have to jump like 50 feet or higher in the air - I've read somewhere or other concerning a lawsuit about airplanes flying over a homeowner's airspace lol....

Re: If I might quote from one university's draft Research Data Management document...

'Checkmate, flat-eathers!'

Takes more than an unfocused picture of the Eye of Sauron to fool a flat eather...

Re: Is this the best that the USA can come up with ?

If they didn't execute Manning, it's highly unlikely Assange will face it - too many political repercussions imo.

Re: There is yet another level of hell in these thinigs even beyond this.....

Is it odd I just sat here and made all the different 'seasonal' voices say "unexpected item in bagging area"?

I thought it was pretty fucking funny ..

;)

Re: International plugs

Made me look up what a UK Shaving Socket is..

Cool.

Re: A LOT of you apparently play games at work!

Don't forget all the US state govs (elections anyone?) running Windows 10 Home lol... true story unfortunately...

Re: Really? A shirt?

My Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 Midnight Madness t-shirt - I was very excited to receive that one lol. Four downloads over a 56k modem, three eventually failed, no auto-resume... yeeeah... Have a Netscape Communicator one I'm pretty fond of too.

That being said, most of my wardrobe consists of free tshirts from various companies, but I don't have to work for them - you have to pay to make me look at your network. Til then, don't care. No time.

Re: felt pad

uggghhhlll...

I just wanted to see if I could spell the sound I made after reading the above post. Pretty close I think.

Re: Useful telephone number.

Oh that's fucking smart.. scammers will end up with the nuke codes...
