New Dupe-Like 'DUPE' Flaw Could Affect DUPE-Based Chips 'n' Dips (including Slashdot''s Dupe).

I grew up in the city in the '60s and '70s; working as a bike messenger in high school, my first stop was to get a roll of DIMES from the dispatcher, so I could call into the office for my next run.

On the chrome coin box of every pay phone in the Five Boroughs, some little old lady had scratched the words "WORSHIP GOD" with the pointy end of a church key-style can opener. Every single pay phone in every neighborhood. She had the grudging respect of a lot of graffiti artists because of sheer coverage (and the fact that she'd go into some really rough places).

Not the respect of everyone, however. It was trivial to add "ZILLA" to the end of her tag.

All these memories will be gone, like Krylon in a subway car wash.

I thought it was cynical but on-brand for CNN+ to launch during a war, considering the cable channel made its bones during Desert Shield, with Wolf Blitzer broadcasting from Baghdad during an air strike.

Really, though: they were two years too late. People were thirsty for news about COVID. Now, if you want to see how a war is going, there's TikTok, Twitter, etc., where you can see the videos CNN will loop two days later, without the blurred-out corpses.

Then again, if they really wanted to make money, they'd broadcast executions on HLN.

We are incrementally closer to my dream of stabbing people in the face over the internet.

Recruiting saboteurs on Fiverr and TaskRabbit? Brilliant!

I'm fine with that as long as you die.

Well, that should shut the barn door on that foolishness.

Who am I kidding? There are two Americas. One eats horse dewormer.

I think the more important question is this: do you have to do any stupid CSS hacks to get Edge to render your page like one does for Webkit or Firefox?

Now I have "California Dreaming" by the Mamas and the Papas in my head.

I hope Jeff took a piss bottle with him.

I thought we had this settled: New Covid, Classic Covid, Diet Covid, Caffeine-Free Covid, and Covid Zero.
