Re: Screen trick
Too many users think the screen is the computer and box is just the hard drive. I had to learn that very quickly just to talk to them about issues.

Always (and I mean always) befriend and get on the right side of the secretaries, storesmen and technicians.
Exactly. The place I worked for 20 years worked the same way. My bosses over the years (some were fired, some moved up higher in the company) would seldom talk to manglement at raise time. Yes, they sent manglement a review form and then ignored it. The real reviewers were the workers (we were a call center). Keep them happy and raises were assured.
The reality is, if there were no Facebook, there would be some other platform. Back when they started, there were a bunch of social media sites with MySpace leading the pack. They went away and Facebook rose up. There were others back then all wanting eyes and attention. Still are some waiting.
As humans are social creatures, that will want the interaction it provides. So I don't see FB going away unless some new platform appears and does something to make it better than what's available now.
I don't think FB can be blamed as the networks like this are just filling a demand and such problems but not as massive existed back in USENET and the BBS days. Yes, they can do a better job of policing their site and they should.
Disclaimer: As non-user of FB who wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole, I'm surprised at my self for saying what I just said. I think I need to go wash my hands.
Kan't F@ckin' Cook
I haven't done KFC in years. After the Colonel sold it, most of the time it was under cooked, sometimes raw, and that batter... best left untalked about. Horrible stuff. So I think yours is most appropriate.
Icon: Fire. Heat. Apparently they forgot about using it.
It seems that those who don't accept science are once again tossing their toys out the pram and they want everyone to believe and follow their beliefs. The world has gone mad with crackpots suing crackpots and crackpots suing science. The rise of the entitled misinformed paranoids goes on....
On the contrary - no shorelines to map will make the process quite unnecessary. A win all round and a vicious wild beast that caused hundreds of dollars of damage will have been dealt with.
That sounds like a government response: "We''ll paty XXX millions to save one thousand dollars and lay waste to the countryside as a side benefit."
He's still pissed at Bezos because they have a volume discount. That's the excuse because Bezos challenged him. Seems he hates anyone who disagrees or opposes his brilliance of which there's a long history of his doing that to others.
He's using the election as tool pure and simple as he and his family vote via mail.
It's not even a mistake, it's the gold standard in IT : touch something and everything that goes wrong with that something or whatever touches that something is your fault.
Yes, and you'll be blamed forever unless some other tech goes to their desk. Then he'll be blamed. Rinse, repeat with each tech who shows up.
I should add that some users will let the new tech know which techs messed things up from very first issue.
Microsoft, hydrogen, and lowest paid contractors operating this. What could possibly go wrong?
Diesels are not maintenance free either. We had contractors who failed to periodically drain the water and gelled diesel from the genset. Next to no PM except once a week "walk around". When the power failed, the genset kicked in... for about 10 minutes. It was a race to drain and clean the genset and refill against the power company restoring power. Two days later, we had power... from the power company.
When I was a tech writer, we didn't need "fictional people". We go the Builder Services and get the newest cleaner for a temporary assignment. We'd have them start at page one on a manual and follow every step by step exactly as written. We found a lot of errors that way.
While you're being logical, change your thinking to that of a bean counter. Conformal coating costs money...i.e.: profit. Conformal coating, etc. has been pretty much standard for military gear for decades.
As for the sippy cups, they work. I use one in my car. Solid plastic, have open the drinking hole to drink and then close and replace cup in cup holder. That would seem to be a good solution but then again, humans tend to bypass things when it's "inconvenient.
Interesting, the object had around the speed of an airgun slug so to do any damage would need tohave a bit more mass.
Wouldn't take much to push a satellite out of orbit or cover sensors like cameras with maybe paint. Perhaps this wasn't a weapon system but a test of "how close can we get" type of intercept test? You don't need to blow up a satellite to create massive issues with it.
Probably the only reason they didn't compromise Trump's account is Twitter probably has some extra layer of control on it due to the market moving potential if someone was able to tweet as him and claim we're declaring war on China or he's declaring nationwide martial law or whatever
If they had, there probably would have piles of money flowing in from the Trump Faithful. Possibly even bankrupted some. What's strange to me is that there's no diehard Trump supporters in the lists I've seen.
At last count, he's posted to Twatter and in speeches he's up to over 15,000 lies. What's truth? What's a lie? Been so much crap coming out of the WH, that it's very hard to tell. I do believe that he fully understands Goebbel's Rule: "“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”,".
As proof, he has an awful lot of people believing him.
