What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Security researcher Ross Bevington showcased a presentation at BSides London that revealed how an e-cigarette could be used to attack a computer either by interfering with its network traffic or by deceiving the computer to make it believe that it was a keyboard. I told you they were bad for you

Last line of the article: “In all cases, be wary if someone wants to plug something into your machine.” Is that oxy or moron?

So you're saying that something that's a generic object you plug into USB ports has all the same hazards of any other generic object that you plug into a USB port.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Researchers are working to create new and adapt existing software technologies to operate at exascale by overcoming challenges found in several key areas, such as resiliency, data reduction, software libraries and the management of memory, power and computational resources. I'm going to guess, "by compiling 50x faster?"

Seventeen years after the Year 2000 bug came and went, the federal government will finally stop preparing for it. "Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other."
Yes, likely dangerously close to the "no politics" rule, but ... yeesh, people. Couldn't you have stopped this a few years back?

Well, at least he's doing something about it.

Quote: The agency didn’t provide an estimate of how much time is currently spent on Y2K paperwork, but Linda Springer, an OMB senior adviser, acknowledged that it isn’t a lot since those requirements are already often ignored in practice.
Except that it seems the burrocrats have solved the problem on their own using the standard tactics of burrocrazies everywhere. Ignore anything they don't want to do and hope no one ever asks for it.

Dammit, I even searched for it. Although, perhaps he loaded the article on CP after his blog?
Bother, and it was such a nice article.

Developers who use tabs to indent their code, developers who fight for truth and justice and all that is good in the world, those developers have a median salary of $43,750. They're also better looking, and have bigger hard drives
Or need them, anyway.
