Nobody expects the....

Wait. Wrong meme.

Looking for tools? Slashdot is the right place.

It looks like greencine.com is pretty much in a neglected state now, unfortunately. From the home page: "GreenCine Hot 15 Hottest Titles Jan-Feb '13". If they haven't updated their home page in a year and a half, I wonder...

Let's scan it for Heartbleed. It's still vulnerable to what is arguably the most publicized vulnerability in the history of the internet over three months since the story broke. Whether they still operate or not, I cannot say, but I'm not going to find out by giving them my credit card. :-(

The rent is too damned high!

Why would you think that? I use it here for internal web apps, I don't care about their youporn visits and I don't want that on my network. So, if they're at home, let them connect to the VPN, access the internal apps and do their work and wank on the side using their own Internet connection.

Probably. I must be getting too old for slashdot, because I'd rather concede the point instead of arguing until my dying breath over slight nuances of words and corporate governance.

No doubt it was a different time. In addition to few external competitors, the entire world was rebuilding due to WWII and recovering from a decade of pent up desire from the Great Depression.

No. They're more like Ford/Mazda, wherein Ford owned a big chunk (49%) of Mazda. Hyundai owns ~40% of Kia. Not the same company.

I have an Odyssey, too, and it's pretty good for a mini-van. We got it because dogs, not kids, but many of the use cases are similar.

I do miss my Fusion Hybrid that I traded in for it, though. Pretty car, and I liked paying a lot less for gas.

'In living memory'? Ask George Takei what he remembers from his childhood.

Now if only trucks or trains could be used to transport lithium...

In the 50's and 60's? Most of them.

I love reading these stories. Mine is much simpler: I don't remember it because I was 20 months old at the time. My parents did set me down in front of it on the TV though, so the Apollo 11 landing did play out on my retinas then. My dad took pictures of the TV and I remember seeing the album of it when I was kid. Sadly, I think that album was lost when our basement flooded when I was 20.

I only barely remember the last one (17). And to me it is a travesty that people closing in on 50 (I'm older now than my grandparents were then) have effectively no real memory of the event. I feel like our country had a true opportunity for greatness. But we instead put the bean counters in charge, and anything that couldn't be measured in terms of the Almighty Dollar was irrelevant.
