Lying Sack of Trump

Time to resign.

Not real money

if it is too much to count. The thousand you owe on the other hand will incur penalties if you delay payment and jail on further delay.

Police cars rest easier

Good to know the lengths the police will go to to protect the endangered police car. Wouldn't want to waste those resources on scammers or corporate criminals.

Corrupt data is still data

and deserves to be saved. Corruption as a service is becoming more popular under the current administration and Micros~t is just getting with the times.

Congress did so reasonably

HA, HA, HA. If an organization is large enough and not monitored, rules will be broken, but how they ended up using my password is beyond me as I was told it was safe to use.

A Letter to Yourself

Send yourself a Love PDF letter and print it with your favorite non Micros~t distro.

Makes it sound like

a mattress company I've seen that wants to be sophisticated, having springs that push back with exactly the force applied to them and all.

Just the normal heartbeat

This is how you know the code isn't dead yet, just on life support and pumping tech support through the system with your help.

Being human,

they ran their code on the wrong computer. They still can't tell them apart, although they claim they can.

How about a cargo plane

with a laser canon. Yes not much of a dog fight, but...

Last time my car stalled...

in the rain next to an abandoned mansion. We decided to go in to spend the night. Later that night my partner found a secret passage leading underground, while an electrical storm raged outside. Naturally we went down. There we found a coffin. After a short discussion we decided to open it. Contained within was a vampire and a thumb drive. The vampire and my partner both perished.

Should I plug the drive into my personal computer or a company server?

$400?

What, rocks in the head? You can easily get one off ebay for far less ($80 with a stack of games) and it will be way more retro.

So will they ever?

provide bios updates for their low end equipment without requiring an install of Micros~1? The ideapads are not half bad basic machines when loaded with a light weight distro but crumble under the weight of 10 and become useless. Other bios update methods are available for the higher end machines but not for the ones that need it most.

No Yuan untracked

A dream come true. Not even a credit card company or other intermediary between the government and the transaction. It's like the conspiracy theory that all US money is tracked via the security thread in each bill larger than a one, but absolutely real and practical. Now someone will tell us that satellites send radio waves which resonate with off the security threads....

Sign up for your $1.32 payout

in five years. Good to see the free market in action. As equal participants in the contract, consumers will get a fair shake and stronger regulation would only inhibit innovation in billing.

TRUST is a two way street

I don't run Windows except when a special application is needed for both TRUST and speed issues. uBlock Origin on Linux makes me feel a bit better. However, lack of transparency does not lend me to volunteer any info to eBay. I would ditch eBay but parts can be hard to come by through other channels without paying too much for both shipping and the part here in Hawaii. Keeping old kit running keeps me a customer unfortunately.

It's the coin

Inspired by the article I epoxied a coin to my cable modem and my throughput went up by more than an order of magnitude. Another doubling came from wrapping the cable line around a magnet.

Looks like a job for...

The United States Space Force, who's mission is exploring strange new worlds and protecting us from danger. Or perhaps we just give them money for the hell of it.

With 500MW

worth of servers, build a power plant next door to take advantage of the extra heat and generate electricity. Yes, yes, entropy and all, but that can be legislated against.

What are the chances

this will happen to you by accident? No one is so mean spirited as to take advantage of this on purpose so don't worry.

Did I hear a bling sound?

Did it get a power up from this landing, or does it still need to touch another asteroid first?

Hide and $eek

Mine $weeper

Ten O' Clunk

Ancient Astronaut Theororists say...

Yes! Alien robots will want to have the novel experience of unpredictability and will pay handsomely for the privilege.

We have a betterr plan

The virus will miraculously disappear. No need for contact tracing apps here.

stationary cameras are dull

You want moving screens, cameras and tinny sound. Get with the program users, and accept the new paradigm.

Way Cool...

bet it will still cost $79 million to send up an astronaut up with the Dragon, but US contractors will get an increase in their cut and we will be free of Putin's influence. Just kidding.

Only rogue users

If you need this for your company you already view your users as rogue and might want a firewall between the filter and the users.

Only profit motivated scum

can protect the public interest. Now charities are doomed to never turn a profit. Society will unravel because envy of the super rich is the glue that holds the internet together.

A cat and a moving string,

Body heat and brain activity, proof that the advert is effective. A laser might be better but Microsoft has already patented the Laser-Brainwave Cat Toy (LBCT).

Anything outside the US

is fair game. Nothing but tareists out there. We need Israel though, because Armageddon.
