“Dead is better.”

Oxygen deprivation, he can only say “Hodor”.

I don’t pirate games, but this makes me want to pirate this game.

This was the entire reason the FCC "forced" the digital TV changeover on the American public. They wanted, what was the old UHF television frequencies. The government wanted to sell this chunk to the highest bidder. The consumers were the losers though. Digital TV, with the higher frequencies used, doesn't "reach"…

May as well get this out of the way:

These folks are interested in purchasing the circling stomping robot.

Do you have a house, family and have to pay for 2 car? I have way better things to spend $300 on than another mower or weed whacker. And a new snowblower? Forget it... mine is a 10 year old handmedown, and I plan to keep that thing running until I die. I see people in my neighborhood with snowblowers from the 70's.

What a saint (and true professional). I would so totally start Poltergeisting the other rooms.

Muad’dib!

I was talking about “apps” being tiny pieces of software I could write myself versus actual full blown programs that do more than let you check the weather on your phone.

Linux server or not, the infection happens on the clients and the data that gets encrypted is the shared data the client user has access to. It’s a nightmare. Luckily I’ve only had one client struck, and it was a client that didn’t cheap out on backup systems with me so a few hours later, no problem.

So people in rural Sri Lanka get 15 Mbs and the best I can do with Frontier Communications is 0.37 Mbs.

that’s GOTTA be Chicago.

I was in college and married, and one of my close friends, Mark (a fellow CS undergrad), said, “There’s this cool-looking science fiction movie opening next week; wanna go?” So we did (myself, my (ex)wife, Mark, his (ex)wife). I was expecting another cheesy spaceships-and-bad-costumes film, the kind that I had grown…

This makes no sense! I never said it changes the amount of sunlight in a given day. Just the amount people who work typical working hours get to enjoy it. Let's say I get off at 6PM every day, all year, and it takes just under an hour to get home (which is more or less correct). In the summer, with no DST, the sun…

Because people don't want their kids going to school in the dark in the winter. So we go back to standard time for all of 3 months. I say keep DST as the new year round 'standard' time.

I still disagree with this. Screw accidents or energy efficiency or your stupid heart if waking up an hour earlier shuts it down. Daylight later in the evening is FREAKING WONDERFUL AND MAKES LIVING LIFE BETTER.
