At the WCC - New York - they finished with draw after 15 minutes and gone to a day off...
No doubt they ended the debate about chess being sport...
Ah. And a ticket was between $200 and $500...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Sad that someone who can plan many moves ahead didn't see that coming. Shame.

I question whether someone who is 20 can really be a 'grandmaster' at anything.
He certainly wasn't at parkour.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Maybe, but that's no reason to dismiss his accomplishments.

Grandmaster is an actual chess title, based on specific competition achievements. There is nothing subjective about it. Why so dismissive?

I don't see high level chess skills as greatly different to high level geek skills, both are basically mental activities. There are plenty here who are into martial arts and other than the odd balcony rail there are strong similarities there as well.
I admire anyone who develops a high level of skill at any endeavour, to do it with multiple skills is just amazing.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

There is a small but CRAZY bug in the way the "Feature Update" (previously known as "Upgrade") is installed. The installation of a new build is done by reimaging the machine and the image installed by a small version of Windows called Windows PE (Preinstallation Environment). This has a feature for troubleshooting that allows you to press SHIFT+F10 to get a Command Prompt. [...] The real issue here is the Elevation of Privilege that takes a non-admin to SYSTEM
So, let Winten update, hit SHIFT+F10 and you're Admin! Kewel! 
veni bibi saltavi

Quote: 1. An internal threat who wants to get admin access just has to wait for the next upgrade or convince it's OK for him to be an insider
2. An external threat having access to a computer waits for it to start an upgrade to get into the system
This is a HUGE problem. I go to the bathroom and leave my computer unattended when it is rebooting and finishing an upgrade. Now I'll have to go to the bathroom at some other time and lock my office door and make sure no one comes close while I do my upgrades. Dang!

That's the way to do it though!
"Screw you guys. Everyone rides for free, and we'll scrub and re-install."
Only way to stop the b'stards!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
