I consider seeing the Thin Red Line in the theatre one of the greatest regrets of my movie-viewing career.
That is all.

I keep hearing this quote.
It sounds good, and is funny the first time but it is totally free of useful or informative data. Someone who is actually asking for actual information on kink will not be helped by it.
It applies equally well as the difference between being Eco-friendly or being a captain planet villain when…

On the page that announces the changes there are links to either switch to Carbonite or upgrade to a business account. If you click through the business link it will give you the upgrade offer.

Yeah, this convinced me. Crashplan really isn’t pushing the “upgrade to business” option hard enough. They switch the remainder of your home subscription to business for free if you agree to a year at the business level for $2.50 a month.
I just pulled the trigger. I now have an even cheaper backup solution until April…

As I’m researching it, BackBlaze seems to have a truly unlimited plan but with a couple catches:

I know this is an older post, but to answer:
Ransomware generally attacks the computer’s operating system and through that all the files on the computer. If you have cloud backups they will not be affected by any ransomware I’m aware of. Your computer may be hosed, but you can just download the cloud backup to your…

I’m currently torn between doing exactly this or switching to BackBlaze for $50/year. That’s actually cheaper than what Crashplan wanted under their old plan but I’d have to re-upload my data.

And that is why you have a $2000 Ultrium Tape Drive running an open source backup client that took you 12 hours to install and configure along with a service that takes your tapes off site and secure stores them?
Or do you manually cycle your library of external hard drives into an off-site fireproof safe every Sunday…

Then the reboot probably wasn’t for you?

We all hope. We all kinda know it isn’t.

Rights are moral or legal entitlements.
Higher Education is there for those that can convince an institution to take them and then pay the bill.

Starred for “my high five was not returned”

Hew was a good enough friend who was not otherwise violent, so the fact that I had a sore face was a good indicator to me that something had gone off the rails and needed to be corrected. After thinking about it I realized that that thing was my behavior.
There was no permanent damage to me, and it made me stop and…

When I was 15 I used to think stuff like this was funny, until a buddy of mine warned me that he didn’t. I thought it would be funny to keep doing it. He decked me.
I deserved it. I stopped.

About 30% of my income is taken in taxes now. If you also throw in how much I pay for healthcare on top of that.... I’m not sure it would be any different.

If you are willing to venture into the suburbs, hit Filfillah in Columbia Heights (about 10-15 min north of Minneapolis proper)
They are one of the only places in the Twin Cities that make their own gyro meat rather than buying from a big supplier. Their meat dishes are thus the best in town.
Also: The Turkish bread,…

Lots of people aren’t allowed to take personal calls while working.
Also: if we are debating between public safety and the privacy of those charged with protecting the public, I’m going to side on the side of public safety.
We have this very video as evidence that the public is safer when police are taped in the normal…

I think in American Politics there are some things that are prerequisites for national office. You have to be able to raise money. You have to look religious. You need to be on-board with most of the major planks of your party.

For those interested, Humble Bundle is selling a Jack Kirby & Will Eisner themed offering this week that includes a digital collection of Kirby’s romance comics for $1, and a second volume at the $8 level. (among many, many other Kirby and Eisner related comics of course)
