I normally don't work from home but I have VPN access for those rare days when I do have to work from home. Every 90 days I must carry my luggable laptop (Dell Precesion M4800) home, remote into VPN to reset the 90 day clock, and carry my luggable laptop back. Which was what I did this past Labor Day weekend. If I don't, the VPN account gets deleted and the paperwork to get it back again is a PITA. I only work from home two or three times a year.

You're citing the national average. A lot people in Silicon Valley had a lot of TVs in the 1970's. My family had six TVs. One neighbor ran a TV repair shop out of his garage and had several hundred older TVs available for sale.

This isn't the 1970's anymore. Hardly anyone has a TV for the toilet, bathroom, bedrooms, living room, family room, kitchen and garage. If you lived out in the country, one for the outhouse as well.

A lot of my friends in Silicon Valley have a giant TV in the living room. If they have kids, a smaller TV in the family room.

Or the person creating the video for upload could use royalty free music, give credit where credit is due, and sidestep the whole copyright issue.

I'm not seeing that behavior with the new design.

When I was kid growing up on the Big Three (ABC, CBS and NBC), dinner was done at 6PM because the evening news started at that time. My mother would stay up to watch the late news at 11PM. I would sneak downstairs to watch The Benny Hill Show on Friday nights and Creature Features on Saturday nights. Back then, TV was religion and every room had a TV.

Never had this problem with the old design.

My credit union recently switched to a flat design. The most glaring issue is not the flatness but the refresh rate of certain pages. If I transfer money between accounts, and return to the balance page, nothing has changed. Refreshing the page won't update the balances. It takes five minutes for the balance page to update.

I would be suspicious of any firmware on a Lenovo laptop. Ironically, firmware hackers love Lenovo laptops.

As a tropical fish owner, fish refers to one specie and fishes refer to many species.

If you mixed personal emails with your U.S. government emails, Congress can subpoena your personal email account. Something as innocent as a sending an email to inform your boss that you're running late for work can make your personal email account fair game to congressional investigators. Make sure that your personal email account is "clean" unless you want to read about your messy relationship emails in The Washington Post after being leaked by a congressional staffer.

I'm apparently the first person on Slashdot who figured out how to monetize his trolls. My trolls find it unbearable that I'm laughing all the way to the coffee shop.

I can't ruin what's already been ruined. What I'm doing isn't against the Slashdot TOS. Complain to management. Bitching in the comments won't change anything.

FTFY — The movie was based on the book by Dennis Lehane.

On that note, "Patrick" (1978) was a better nut house movie. I've always liked the part where he throws a space heater into the bathtub with his mother and her lover. Electrifying!

The discussion was about Larry Eliison and Donald Trump. According to the Russians, Trump has a fondness for hookers and golden showers.
