Unless you audit their data center and software you don't know if they have actually purchased and are using this hardware.

More specifically, if most of Workday's customers follow the same philosophy then they'll have less need for...Workday.

Humans used bows, and even thrown rocks effectively far before Newton's Laws of Motion.

Much (not all) of Texas is flat. There aren't that many passes.

It gets worse. Telling people in Lubbock that a child in Houston (10 hour drive away) was abducted is mostly useless. It's worse when they don't have a license number. Or even a make -- I've seen them with just "white pick up truck". Texas should be broken into "zones" for these alerts, and pay attention to the "sufficient information" rules.

My wife worked for TI in their now defunct chip fab in Lubbock, TX. They made, among other things, 16K dynamic ram chips. Apparently at one point they were given some Soviet RAM to study. The Soviet chips had both the TI logo and the Texas Tech mascot on the chip. Those chips were nowhere near an inch square -- even the packages were only about 0.75 x 0.3 inches.

His "MIG in the middle" description in the second edition was so evocative. And speaks so well about the security limitations of automobile key fobs.

My understanding is that, by US federal law, it's the responsibility of the seller to get purchased items to you. Don't ever buy optional insurance -- you're paying to insure the seller. They can require an extra charge for insurance, with it becoming a visible part of the price. Otherwise it's an invisible part. A seller that insists that you got the item when you didn't is a totally different problem.

> Half the country is not Nazi's. However, most Republican politicians are either Nazi's or are willing to ignore that a noticeable percentage of their voters are Nazis. Most Republican voters, I think, are unwilling to see/admit this about their candidates.

There have been 7 Captain Marvel's, of which 3 have been female. It seems that only one, Carol Danvers, is human (or at least began as human).

Fix caller id...by throwing it out. Replace it with the *authoritative* origination number that the system already carries for billing purposes (like when you call a 900 number).

FAT was, I believe without direct evidence, based on the HDOS (Heathkit DOS) GRT file system. It works nearly identically, and was invented by J. Gordon Letwin for Heathkit. Letwin was hired away from Heathkit by Microsoft as one of their first dozen employees. Under the legal environment of the time, it was reasonable for Letwin to take the concepts that he invented with him, but to re-implement them for his new employer without copying any of the (Copyrighted) 8080 assembly language.

I suspect their interest in him did not originate from Cryptocat, but instead from his support for WikiLeaks (including at one time having a WikiLeaks mirror).

"I had a date". Okay, it's not that quotable. But it is the line that makes you realize that this story is, in a very real sense, a tragedy.

So, a proprietary optical disk drive will be cheaper to manufacture than the $20 (retail) DVD writer that I can buy at Fry's? I don't believe a bit of it.
