Think of it as evolution in action.

Oh comeon, how are employers supposed to make a honest profit if they can't screw the help?

It’s so sad that refrigerators cannot be airgapped...

BRING BACK USENET!

We can always hope that the pigs who fucked-up with the user names will be skinned alive, but of course, we all know this will never happen because pigs enjoy an inordinate amount of immunity totally unwarranted by their well-below average intelligence.

Yes, they become an economic superpower and they slowly take the place of the USA on the world stage.

A very nice country, with very nice, hard-working but still fun-loving (take that, calvinists!) people, thank to them not having religious hangups and neuroses.

He sent me the first e-mail I ever received, some 40 years ago...

It was so early that it actually was printed by some service and (snail-)mailed to me...

More than 35 years ago, well before the Internet, BBSes ruled.

One I was a pillar of was nothing but a wall where you would post anonymously (or not).
The software was written to verify the typing rate to make sure that no text was uploaded

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

I wrote a special terminal program that would randomize the time between characters to foil that BBS's rejection of uploads...

(Oh, it worked, and the dude running the show never found out).

You and me may relish the idea of having our own nucular reactor, but I’ll betcha that many executive may feel skittish at the idea

Some years ago, an old aluminium plant has been repurposed as a data center in Beauharnois, Québec, by OVHcloud, which is located not even a kilometer from the Beauharnois powerhouse (at one time, it was the largest [Jeremy Clarkson pause] in the world). That powerhouse is fed by a 1km wide by 10m deep canal diverting nearly 90% of the St-Lawrence river through it (the powerhouse is 1 km long). Also Google is implementing a data center nearby. Another plus is the low temperatures during most of the year will reduce the need for air-conditionning

After reading theit dress code, it doesn’t mention Lycra, so I would have put flashy lycra like when I go biking.

Ha! I once spent three hours finding out how to do something I did in 2 minutes with ’Shop

GIMP could make significant inroads if it mocked Photoshop’s UI.

Millions of people are proficient with Photoshop, and they hit a wall whenever they have to work with GIMP, which really earned it’s name.

But nooooo. GIMP is marred by an arcane UI thought off by geeks who have no clue about professional workflow.

I remember taking three hours trying to do what takes 2 minutes with Photoshop. This experienced burned GIMP for me in a very durable way!

And never mind that people routinely kill each other because they worship the wrong kind of sect even though they are of the same religion

40 years ago, there was this Amtrak poster which said "Maybe your next flight should be on a train"...

But I think Amtrak is already (or was) using Sabre, so plugging them into Google Flights is really no big deal.
