That would be a neat trick.

Hence my prior comment about OSS developers elsewhere on /., hahahah.

I can't even open finance.yahoo.com anymore in Firefox.

I just don't get it. There's nothing special about my machine.

I guess I'll just go back to using my broker's website.

Quality code wasn't the problem in my case. I've been gainfully employed based on that aspect.

They are just jerks.

I've had the same experience with Linux enthusiasts.

Open Source projects attract a certain kind of personality. That's part of the reason I don't contribute anymore.

More of this?!

It wasn't terrible, but it was the enterprises who banned Google Desktop Search that killed the product because it was considered "spyware."

But, then, they still allow Microsoft Search, which eventually got the same "spyware" features as Google Desktop Search.

Remember when enterprises banned Google Desktop Search?
But, then, still allowed Microsoft Search, with the exact same remote privacy concerns that Google had?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Okay, thanks. I have a several original Model Ms of various types and a couple of Unicomp models, too.

I always wanted a Model F, especially that one with the crazy number of function keys used on the color versions of the IBM SNA 3270-family mainframe terminals of the 1980s and 1990s.

I didn't know IBM made Model F keyboards with a mouse stick.

All I have are various IBM Modem M keyboards with a mouse stick and another without a keypad.

I sure would like to add a Model F keyboard to my IBM keyboard collection.

GPS (Navstar) satellites have already been detecting nuclear explosions since 1978.

What's new here, then?

I had the pleasure of visiting a couple of Meta (nee Facebook) data centers several years ago.

They're using new thinking and research to figure out how to cool and power them. It's really quite interesting. Sometimes they make mistakes but that's in their culture.

Though putting a data center in the Oregon High Desert gave me pause due to the water consumption it required being in an area with severe water constraints.

They do put solar farms all over their property and on the roofs, so there's that.

A "typical golf course" uses massive amounts of water.

The address and web site may say "AOL" but the mail servers are actually Yahoo
AOL mail as it was has been dead for years.

AWS doesn't even do that. We have to manually shut down and restart VMs to have them move to newer hardware. We regularly get emails about "end-of-life" hardware that we need to manually shut down and restart on AWS.

I like Microsoft's thinking.
