There's far more information available now than there ever was.

You didn't have gopher?

The Internet was, and still is, more than http/https. But that's only for people who know their way around it. The rest of you are like the fat kid on a boy scout camp-out when the bear (Google) arrives. As long as you keep it fed, we'll be safe.

Git gud.

I back one car into the garage, around another that is sitting in that driveway "lane". Because the doors are wide, there's a workbench against the wall and keeping the driver's door in the center is the only way to get in/out. And I only have 6" clearance from either side mirror.

I'm one of the few people in my neighborhood that makes use of my garage for ... automobiles.

Am I the only person on the planet who still opens the garage door with, you know, my hands? Is that completely crazy? Am *I* crazy?

Around my neighborhood almost no one parks in the garage (they park in their driveway, or the street). The garage is where you store stuff (and you rarely open the garage door).

I thought the garage was where people put their guest bedroom. :-)

That was the only pad Russia had which has the infrastructure necessary to launch humans into space

Not entirely correct. It is the only *active* pad with that infrastructure. There are decommissioned pads that have been used for manned missions in the past. What state they are currently in is an unknown, but it has been speculated that equipment could be salvaged from them to repair the damaged pad.

Comment Re:Charge the man that hired them too. (Score 1) 43

I could see hiring people that hacked somebody else.

Nope. I wouldn't touch them with a 3 meter pole. Idiots, I can usually find simple work for. People who come in with no moral compass cost me more time and effort keeping an eye on than they are worth.

And why would I expect to be treated any differently than their last employer? I'm not speshul.
