I had my suspicions, but I didn't want to jump to any conclusions. So for any of you out there wondering how this journal worked out, Web 2.0 is garbage.

"It was a failure of technology" copout for incompetence and negligence.
Agreed.. it was very human incompetence that allowed a long rifle to get within 150 yards of that podium, poor tech probably compounded the problem but they didn't secure the area.
Isn't this how V'ger is born?
I never understood the inability to come up with a true random number generator. Tune your old school TV to channel 3. It's static. Background radiation from the big bang. Use THAT. (?)
That threw me for second [decades]. It's been decades for me too - gave up on Microsoft roughly in 2000 w/ the games they were playing. It's been two decades and my business system(s) run more reliably and it's been a whole lot cheaper not paying Microsoft "licensing". They are a multi-billion dollar joke of a company.
I gave up on tape decades ago. Too many problems. It's slow AF compared to a live backup for restoring. That's if you CAN restore. Worst case scenario is you'll have to restore w/ a different tape drive -- and I've seen this fail right there. The original drive became out of alignment, but could still read/write it's own tapes. Nothing else would read them. I consider this tech useless now because of this.
I backup like this:
Linux server ---> rsync offsite
rsync offsite --- differential rsync of this live set
(ie: no direct access to differential backup set)
I do the same thing onsite, but will assume entire network is compromised and will rely on offsite for a good set of data
This is just not a good idea on so many different levels.
Why yes. YES IT DOES.
I think they already tried removing the Start menu right before they removed the "Start" button and made it the Windows logo. The aborted and never released Windows 9
Finally - can we talk about John Deere...
Who planted the tree? Sue them too.
Anything But Microsoft - fuck them.
And what if I have a piece of software, maybe I wrote it, that won't work with something different. It's not your PC Microsoft. Fuck off.
This is the exact reason why I like my Mac and love my Linux. My computer. My choice.
