That's what I get when trying to access www.cisa.gov from Firefox (currently supported ESR version). Of course it works fine in web browsers from deep-pocketed cowtowing corporate companies. Makes you wonder. Hmmm.

From what I've read, it was the opposite. The mom was supposed to go, but the kid wanted to go (had even built a Lego model of the Titanic) so she gave up her seat. Bad info came from his aunt.

Haven't checked my slide rule, but 2 different aps and a pocket calculator give the same (correct) answer.

Ernie Ball - the guitar string company - was raided by the BSA and subsequently humiliated publicly, all in the name of selling software licenses. Sterling Ball was not impressed - he went totally open source after that. Wonder if the BSA has told France about this fun episode?

Godfrey is notorious for making all kinds of assertions that are provably wrong. In his root cause analysis of AI 171, he directly quotes an FAA Advisory Circular that is publicly available, except when you read it, the cited text doesn't exist. Total fabrication. Thomas, who by his own admission is technically illiterate, nevertheless slaps Godfrey on the back and says, "Good work Richard!" Total balderdash.

I would occasionally submit timecards recording over 100 hours per week, and I had a guy working for me who recorded 16 hours per day for an entire week. HR would come back screaming that there was an error, please fix. Nope - It was accurate. My boss would chide us and say we shouldn't be doing that. Of course we ignored him. Those were good times.

Back in 2003, SCO sent letters to all its System V Unix source code licensees demanding certification in writing that they were in compliance. When Daimler Chrysler failed to respond (due to SCO having an out-of-date mailing address in the intervening 16 years) SCO filed a lawsuit. How did that turn out?

Broadcom might find it informative to check out case 07-11337 in Delaware bankruptcy court. Still pending after 18 years.
