I think the idea is that "xxx" is supposed to be someone that the clickbaitee probably feels is exploiting them for money somehow, and that by learning the trick this one guy came up with to screw over those people, YOU can join in on telling the people exploiting you for money to fuck off too!
"23 hot singles waiting to meet up with you in GEOSTATIONARY ORBIT." -- ads seen by astronauts
On a related note, a person I know who lives in a town with a tiny two-digit population once saw an ad like that claiming there were more hot single women in that town looking to meet up with him than there were people in that town total.
You gain no privacy or right-mindedness by not letting mail "stay" on their servers.
The law disagrees. Stored e-mail is different than e-mail that passes through a server.
I think they picked the Czar they did for his marketing skills, not his medical skills.
You need a larger C: drive.
Windows doesn't have enough space for your temp directory for the code base you are working on.
Waterfall vs Agile. Waterfall, you get the spec, go and code. Agile you get lucky to code a couple of hours a day, the rest is ALL spec gathering, and then you stay up all night for the sprint right before you submit the code for user acceptance testing.
The legacy of Bell Labs kind of runs contrary to this idea, because they were not only paid to come up with ideas, but also told to come up with ideas that would be profitable.
And yet C and Unix came about because someone wanted to play games.
How much mail do you really send that you are still buying stamps?
Outside of a dozen or two holiday cards, maybe three or four pieces a year.
I realize lots of businesses still send things out usps, but they are probably printing their own postage at this point anyway and not using actual stamps.
I've yet to see a solution suitable for home users.
It is a waste of precious resources to turn a woman into a computer programmer when she's a lot more valuable as a mother.
Ha ha! What a great satire of a shitheaded sexist troll you've done here. I especially like the bit about how any distraction, disruption or stress could cause a miscarriage. My doctor, a black belt in karate who trained up until her 8th month, would get a real belly laugh out of that. And my sensei, the EE, would surely get a chuckle out of the implication that she wasted her life by not being a baby machine. Keep polishing the satire and you could have a real career here.
(Assuming, of course, you're not serious. Because no one that stupid could survive.)
I remember, back in the early 80s, some friends and I pooled our allowance, bought an Atari joystick, then tried to make an adapter for the 9-pin Apple IIe joystick connector- not realizing the reason the Apple joysticks were so damn expensive was because they were analog.
Not for my last 6 computers have I seen a 9 pin serial port.
The government has no right to a monopoly on any weapon.
However, my neighbor storing atomic weapons in his garage is a reasonable threat to my safety and so should be heavily regulated. If he can meet the same safety standards as the government (maybe some billionaire collector could do this), the state has no legitimate authority to have nukes of its own while denying him one. Or, ya know, maybe nukes are an inherent threat to people and no one, state or otherwise, U.S. or Iran, can have them. But "we can have them, you can't" is not a logically defensible argument.
My neighbor storing machine guns or a typical shooter's supply of ammo in his garage (again, subject to safe storage requirements, no storing a loaded machine gun pointed at my house) is no more a threat to my safety than him having the usual home hardware and chemicals in there. (
Even a tank is not threat -- and indeed, for just $1175 you can spend a day driving one around.)
The world's biggest Lego Land. Do they sing "Everything is Awesome!" while they work?
Very true. Multiculturalism and pluralism, like urban living, requires liberty and individualism.
The way I usually put it is "limited but strong"./ Limited in topics they can intervene on, strong enough to defend their competency.
