Me too. After fifteen years of use, the outermost trace (left line of the keyboard) broke, rendering the Unicomp M junk. I had to switch to the chiclet keyboards they issue at work. Three days later I came down with tendonitis. So now I have a base Cherry Brown KC MX.

From what I'm seeing online, the Three Gorges Dam in China, looks like it might not need an earthquake or a tsunami, just some floods.

More often wind shuts down because the wind is blowing too hard than it is too little.

There is a very good reason not to pay for blood, it helps ensure a more disease-free blood supply by disincentivizing people who might lie about their medical history to obtain money.

I think the fact that you don't understand that the first sentiment of your post is exactly how the opposing side felt and why they elected him in the first place, is what is most wrong with our country today.

I think that if we as a people try a little more to identify with the majority of the opposition as opposed to painting them as the worst 5% of their number and hating them, we would realize that for the most part our values are closer than we think.

We are not a country of trumptards and libtards, but a country of people who for the most part want to live a good life for their family and their neighbors. I guess the pendulum has swung far enough that the people decided that it is time for it to swing back. Our parties largely forgot the concept of actual compromise, so the political maneuvering has been largely to hurt the opposing side and prevent them from being able to win, rather than govern. I worry same may occur now. However considering the last election and this one, and the changes that occurred in the meantime I think perhaps this is a sign that our system still works.

The sticky parts here:
Delta is demanding from its contractor reparations for damages that it's refusing its customers. When they reject claims for which they have responsibility, how can they go after their contractors on the same basis?
Delta is not the only airline to use CrowdStrike, and they all had outages on July 19. Delta, however, is the only one that couldn't recover until July 24.

Crowdstrike's test and deployment processes to me look like gross negligence: their business is having companies entrust them with access to the Kernal and deploying timely and safe updates. Everyone else uses a robust testing process including staggered deployment.
But Delta, in going about a lawsuit, will be required to reveal their own IT processes and shortcomings that led to a five-day collapse.

Or they settle for zero dollars.

I'm going with hypergolic rocket fuel for station keeping and enough lithium ion batteries to keep it powered through maximum eclipse duration of around 72 minutes, especially when either of the above is hit by a micro-meteor.

I'm sure the power loss was to the satellite itself, not a terrestrial power grid and the loss of power resulted in the satellite being incapable of servicing it's customers.

So you get a ticket in the mail saying you were driving 12 MPH over the speed limit (a civil infraction, a penalty of 3 points and $30.00 fine) and passing in a "No Passing Zone" (a civil infraction, a penalty of 3 points and $150.00 fine) and a photo of your car /with plates in the left lane returning to the right over double yellow lines, misjudging by 30 feet.
You can:

• Sign the ticket and except liability, send $180.00, take a 6 point hit and watch your car insurance go up 50% for at least two years
• Contest the ticket in Court and claim you weren't driving your car the day just so the DA can ask you who was driving and possibly subpoenaing that person, lose and pay $180.00 in fine, a 6 point hit, $360 in Court Costs ($540 in total) and watch your car insurance go up 50% for at least two years
• Go to Court, try and get passing in a "No Passing Zone" (a civil infraction, a penalty of 3 points and $150.00 fine) and except 12 MPH over the speed limit (a civil infraction, a penalty of 3 points and $30.00 fine)

She was a prosecutor that kept people in prison so they could use them as penal firefighters for cheap, withheld exculpatory information from the Defense consul and put hundreds of Black men in prison for simple marijuana convictions while she smoked the same shit.

Remember the days when Boeing and ULA were arguing that SpaceX shouldn't even be allowed to bid on the Commercial Crew Program (CCP), now Boeing hasn't even been able to make a single round trip. I wonder if SpaceX will get paid at the same rate per seat for the mission contracts that Boeing won't be able to fulfill?

Well they're on the verge of losing Crimea to show for it.

I wouldn't even be surprised if the insurers refused to pay out on this one. It's like a fire prevention company deploying a smoke detector that, at the same time around the world, does an auto-test that, due to a design flaw, disables the detector and starts a fire. No amount of "use this device at own risk. We will not cover fire damage costs incurred by using this product" is gonna fly. Liability insurance might cover something, but not a failure to follow basic software security practices. And, even then, who is going to insure them tomorrow? Who is going to go to the boss and say: "well, these guys can't follow the most fundamental rule in keeping their clients' machines secure, let's hire them as our security solution!"? Nothing short of Russian sabotage is going to save them. Good news for competitors: fresh contracts are on the way. Also, you can probably hire some engineers. Just keep an eye on them.

If it decouples the flash from social media, how are people going to find out about it? Once someone starts using it, that person disappears from the major marketing channel of our time. The problem with truly useful tools is that they don't propagate themselves or move as many copies as flashy, trendy crap that breaks or goes obsolete in two years.

So then I see a price of $800 for specs that are a little vague, but which most people are going to associate with a device that costs about $200; of course, those devices are the flashy ones, and they can be churned out for a profit much cheaper, given the economies of scale.

And I'd want to see how this display works before plunking down. So we're doomed as a race.

He has to live with Outlook, which, like other mailing software, scans messages before they are sent for keywords such as "CV", "Resume", "Attachment", and, if it gets a hit, and there's no attachment, reminds the user "would you like to add an attachment?"
Unlike other mailing software, that dictionary includes "Bill". Every email he types his name into generates a "would you like to add an attachment", until he either disables the feature or sets up a signature.
Unlike other mailing software, using / will try to include a file, picking something that resembles the words typed, and by default attaching the file. On the Outlook 365 web client, not even Bill Gates can disable this feature. So, if Mr. Gates ends an email with the signature /Bill on then the helpful Web Client will find a sensitive piece of financial information and automatically attach it to the message.
Unlike other mailing software, Outlook gets bundled into office IT packages for companies around the world, supposedly to offer a comprehensive solution for your basic business infrastructure. Businesses end up including proprietary features and locking their users into Outlook. Sure, you can tell people to set up signature blocks, but you're as likely to get 100% compliance on that as with telling people they shouldn't use tab to indent their paragraphs.
