I can't speak to this particular airport... but, for most of them, I suspect you'd find those areas were mostly open space when the airport was first designed and built.

ROT...14?

14!!

BRILLIANT!

"Within our lifetime, engineers will go from bricklayers to architects, focusing on the creativity of designing systems rather than the manual labor of putting them together."

Scott Wu obviously doesn't know very much about what an engineer actually is or historically has done.

I don't have any 32-bit machines either, but - "stuff that matters" doesn't necessarily mean it has to matter to me personally.

I don't consider all debian stories irrelevant just because my machines are running almalinux...

Ask him if he prefers vim or emacs.

When my wife and I were first married (also before social media), we would eat pretty frequently at a particular Mexican restaurant. It got to where the waiter would already have our usual "super nachos" in hand the first time he arrived at our table.

I imagine if you're a restaurant charging $500 for a meal, you want to do everything you can to make your service stand out.

Move to quadruple ROT-13, ASAP!

At least remember the old Slashdot byline properly - "News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters".

And, for the record, yes - this qualifies as both.

So they've done a "study" that shows a product they're developing and intending to sell will be beneficial.

No conflicts of interest there, no siree... I'm sure the science is sound and needs no further checking.

Every few years, someone claims to have "probably" found Amelia Earheart's airplane. In the end, it never pans out... but, in the meantime, that someone manages to keep themselves in the news for a little while.

Wake me when they've actually confirmed the find.

Oh, you're right - they're not nearly as common but they do exist.

Also another big one most of us have had - tuberculosis.

You can die from Lyme Disease in Rhode Island. You can die from malaria in Florida.

You can rust to death in Washington and Oregon.

RFK Jr stated in front of Congress that people shouldn't take medical advice from him. I think that was really excellent advice.

Of course, taken to its logical conclusion, it means he admits to having no business being in charge of HHS...

I'm not a fan of Trump, but this - a person or two dying of plague in the American Southwest - happens every few years. It's nothing new.

Also vaccines are irrelevant since this is a bacterium.

But we're winning!
