I'm watching Spaceballs right now so I'm really getting a kick out of this story.

When has "fact" had anything to do with religious outrage?

A few old BBS friend still have a Citadel/UX system running. Currently on a 1990s Pentium Pro that sits in a car hole. I replaced the hard drive when I had it a few years ago. Other than that, it's just been chugging along and moving from one house to another as someone moves or a wife wants that stupid box out of her house. I tried to virtualize it while it was in my house but I squirreled and didn't get around to it in time. The version of Linux it's running is too old for todays automagic virtualization tools. I got as far as installing Slackware 7.0 on a virtual machine.

I haven't worked in years. I go to bed when I'm tired and I get up when I'm done sleeping. Sometimes that means shopping at 3am fits my "schedule".

The summary makes it sound like a bad thing. To me, it indicates an economy that doesn't roll up the sidewalks at 5pm. It takes a lot of service jobs to keep businesses open 24 hours. It's great that I can go out and buy a Big Mac and a lawnmower at 3am.

Yeah, I'm gonna need a non-Chevy citation for this. ;^>

No. I can tether just fine with my non-modified phone. And I'm obviously talking about Verizon throttling.

14 drives. Mix of 2tb and 4tb.

Actually, I've got unlimited LTE. Too bad today's consumer no longer has that option. I held onto it for 2 years before I hit the road. Expected to use it as a backup but RV park/resort WiFi universally sucks balls so it's usually my primary connection. LTE makes zero sense at the rates Verizon charges these days. My speed peaked just north of Atlanta at 80 megs down, 44 megs up. Totally pointless if I had a 2 gig plan. Even in my current location out in the country, I'm getting...pauses download...11/15. And I move a lot of data which I can do because Verizon is not allowed to interfere with the performance on the unlimited accounts. It's part of the agreement Verizon made with the government when they bought 700Mhz a while back.

Which, of course, is why they're planning to start throttling LTE service for unlimited customers starting in October.

I've got a 32tb array in my RV so that's where my mind went even tho I know it can't be right. :) It's traveled 11,000 miles without a blip and was expanded from 26tb last fall. I don't have any proof to back it up but I'll bet it's one of the largest mobile arrays in the world. Sure, it'd be easy to build a bigger one but who needs that much storage on the move?

Also, I'm getting a kick out of the idea of 8tb drives. Most of mine are 2tb and I just started swapping in 4tb drives last year. Haven't even had a chance/reason to start putting in 6tb drives and now they're up to 8tb. Pretty soon, I'll be able to whittle it down to a mirror.

Gotta milk that free ride as long as possible.

And there's a new euphemism for the list.

/hangs head in shame. We didn't even have servants.

That was my first thought. 2400 square feet is hardly a "huge" "estate". I grew up in a 2,250 square foot house. 3 bedrooms, bonus room, and large living room. It didn't have a parlor, music room, den, study, library, conservatory, servant's quarters, etc.

IANAC[riminal] so I have no first hand experience but I don't think you get to pick which penalty you receive.
