The important question is, has Netcraft finally confirmed that BSD is dying?

Ooooh, 5 digit UID!

Re Natalie Portman, that was the Hot Grits part, no ? I seem to recall that was a key element of that particular meme.

Front page of Slashdot after 25 years, and First Post. Life goal unlocked!

To clarify, OS X was descended from NeXTSTEP, which was built on Mach and BSD.

Dog-like robot with antennas that can take over electronics? If they're not calling it K9, I'm going to be very disappointed.

I'm waiting for Sam The Cooking Guy to show me how to make one at home... but better! (Hint: one slice of Havarti in the middle.)

As if they needed the help...

So far, I haven't gotten Covid despite attending 4 large conferences in the last year (2 of which turned out to be super-spreader events). I attribute this good fortune to wearing a mask any time I felt uncomfortable with the crowd, washing my hands frequently, judicious use of sanitizer, keeping distance where I could, and most important, having all my jabs (I like the UK term for the boosters). I'm not in a rush to get this one, but I'll definitely be in line when it comes available.

I am pretty sure it is an amiga connected to internet by a satellite link.

One of my favorites. I can't listen to Right Said Fred without picturing Ernest Borgnine.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go wax my lobby, if you get my meaning.

According to the article, they're having NIST prepare the standards and controls, with a 5-year refresh. If this was the legislators coming up with standards, as they did with HIPAA, I think it would be doomed to fail. But NIST knows their stuff - the controls in Special Publication 800-53 rev 4 are pretty solid, and come with mappings for low, moderate and high security situations. Like FedRAMP for cloud providers, this will become a bar for entry into the public sector, and at this point, it has the potential for being a good one.

I've written code in PERL, Python, C (just plain C, none of your fancy C+#^ stuff, you young whippersnappers), Java, and REXX that was used to support business processes in production. But honestly, I wouldn't say I know any of those languages - if I don't have a reference available, I'm lost. I "know" those languages like someone with a pocket phrasebook "knows" a foreign language.

All roads lead to bigotry, scatological humor, and sex.

Because taken as a whole, the Internet is a 12-year-old boy who has no filters, wants to see boobies, and thinks fart jokes are hilarious.

Just like college...
