Thank you. I was condensing it reduce the length of the read, but should have included a link to the original comic. :-)

Calvin: Penny for your thoughts?
Hobbes: Sorry, my thoughts are a buck a piece.
Calvin: What?! That's outrageous! ....C'mon, just tell me what it is, will you?
Hobbes: Nothing doing, pal.
Calvin: Okay, okay! I'll give you 25 cents. That's all I have. Here! 25 cents! Now, what's this big, expensive thought of yours?!
Hobbes: "A fool and his money are soon par..."
*Physical altercation ensues*

The first one I can recall ever interacting with was a TRS-80. I was very young, like, toddler-age. Caught my full attention. Didn't know how to use it, but was fascinated by it. But "my" first was an Apple IIe when I was 5 or 6. Spent SOOO much time on that, playing games, exploring BASIC programming (reading, writing, and modifying code), and using PEEK and POKE to muck around with the memory.

I dunno about Jesus, but I devoutly believe Science will save its true adherents from polio.

I'm very curious how this domain was "accidentally" assigned to an O365 tenant without domain verification.

Perhaps they'd have better luck pursuing this as a bad faith actor? File suit against the John Doe that has asserted ownership of their domain, use discovery process to get a court order for the name and contact information of the owner of the offending Microsoft tenant account.
On the other hand, if they're in a rush or deterred by costs and complications, stirring up the public interest might get them what they want and at a bargain price.

Not the point of the article, but another casual reminder of the suck that is the US healthcare system.

The comment period notice must have been caught in the spam filter.

I wonder what kind of changes we would see if these kind of bribes-with-extra-steps were made unlawful at a national level?
This would be unlawful if the bribe*cough*, sorry, I meant tax-break, was being awarded directly to the decision-maker, right? I know, there's definitely a difference, but...is it enough of a difference to make the comparison meaningless?
And, in this case, it's kind of like seeing a city bending over backwards to get Walmart to open a super-store. "Sure! Let's give them a bunch of money to open a store and employ people that will then need to receive additional taxpayer money themselves in form of foodstamps, etc!"

Oh, my!
$Deity forbid that mitigating an entirely predictable environmental catastrophe of their own making "threaten the region's breakneck population growth and high-value agriculture"!
They'll need a lot of help, so I'm sending thoughts and prayers!

No.
Wait, what? No.

"We have reviewed our protected documents and determined that we have not made any mistakes."
Strange. I'm sure I've heard that before, but where?

Yes, I was joking, though I agree that basic network filesharing was pretty quick to enable in XP!

Most of my stuff that matters is running Windows XP.

I certainly hope so! It would be nice to see them having to sleep in the bed they made.

Can't wait for the Chinese knockoffs ;-)
