The Frey House? They told me it was destroyed. They *told me* it couldn't be repaired. Grrrrnahhhhh!
Don't worry. That's at least 20 minutes in the future.
Self-destruction? A complete self-uninstall - no registry entries left behind, no temporary files, DLL's lurking in system32, no empty folders?
It's miracle software. NSA - sell your uninstaller and you can pay off the US National debt.
> Former astronaut Julie Payette will be the Queen's new representative in Canada, CBC News has confirmed.
Wow. An astronaut
> The 53-year-old Montrealer, who speaks six languages,
Six? She has some smarts on top of the astronaut
> Payette, who is also an accomplished athlete, pianist and choral singer
What? No. Now this isn't fair. I guess, if I work a bit harder I could...ok, a LOT harder, I could,....
> A computer engineer with a commercial pilot license,
No. No no no no no.
She makes me look like I didn't even try at life.
I'll read the fine article as a nice break from my assignment on file system design.
I'll just close this tab on "Everything Hans Reiser Did Wrong and What to Avoid"
Cynic in me says they are looking for someone who can be implicated as a terrorist supporter to be used to justify the ban.
Funny thing about that...
Trumps actual order has an exception for immigrants who are already in transit, viz section (e): "[...] when the person is already in transit and denying admission would cause undue hardship -- and it would not pose a risk to the security or welfare of the United States."
So holding people up at US airports just some ICE pricks trying to make a false narrative to paint Trump in a bad light.
I'd say you hadn't read the article you linked to, but since you quote it, and seem capable of English comprehension, I can only assume you are deliberately trying to mispresent the case. The "ICE pricks" are doing exactly what Trump has decreed. You conveniently left out the start of the section, which includes as the beginning...the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security may jointly determine to admit individuals to the United States as refugees on a case-by-case basis...[including] when the person is already in transit...
So those 'ICE pricks' have no discretion. BOTH Secretaries of State AND Homeland Security must apply that "in transit exemption". AND they can't even do it by a class or group - they have to give approval for each individual. Before they can enter.
AND this exception only applied to refugees. Not to tourists or people visiting their families.
If my mother was named Trace Gas orbiter, I'd try to bury my head in the sand too.

What about the bike? Doesn't this ruin the bike?
We had to destroy the bike in order to save it.
I love the smell of Skunklock in the morning. It's the smell of.....victory.
No.
FIRST was this (and who knows what else). THEN there was Snowdon. This is important.
One of the arguments in favour of Snowdon being an honourable whistleblower was this:
If he was malicious, he would have quietly stilen the data and sold it to the highest bidder. Like this guy did. And Snowdon didn't.
One of the (many) arguments in favour of Snowdon is that if he could *so easily* collect that information undetected, then other, malicious people could be doing so. And so it turns out. Snowdon alerted us to the weaknesses of the NSA security practices (amongst many other nobler services).
Vindication. Again. It tastes sweet. But not as sweet as a pardon.
Just one of Santa's early jet-propelled sleighs to cope with population growth (you think flying reindeer were always going to keep up? get real)
Unfortunately this one reached near escape velocity. The test elves bailed out in time.
So nothing to see here. Pay no attention to 2016 HO HO HO
