Your accountants have just told you that the risk of offshore bank accounts is too high, thanks to those schmucks at Mossack Fonseca.
The only solution left to hide your assets is the First International Bank of Blockchain.
Lots of cash pouring in, with an inherently deflating asset, the price has to climb.

You can't ransom something nobody wants.

Specifically, FOCAL Amity 1969, on a DEC PDP-8/L with 4K core. Attached to an ASR33 with paper tape reader and punch. Good times.

Agnello says he lost 55 hours of progress on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, as well as more progress on a few other downloadable games.

If you can't perform some simple personal grooming before showing up, that's a negative. I don't care if you know how to fizzbuzz, because I know you can always look it up. What I want to be sure of is that you have the ability to ask the right questions about the tasks you will be given.

I bought a used Micropolis 80 MB ESDI drive for my Epson Equity III PC/AT clone. Good times.

Unfortunately, 'an' Android is meaningless when it comes to the phone's UI. If you have a Samsung phone, you've got TouchWiz. I find that one incredibly annoying.
If it's an HTC, it's called Sense. Not terrible.
Sony and Huawei each have their own.
If you have a Nexus or Pixel, that's Android.

What is it about having money that turns people into such assholes?

Let the record show that Zuckerberg was an asshole long before he had money.

Comparing an operating system to Acrobat Reader? The real question is, why should a text rendering application have half as many bugs as an entire OS?
