Successful load testers anticipate high demand – but at what point do you pass from “high demand” to “ridiculous”? The guideline: Expect the unexpected. "Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me"

Bought some last Christmas for the wife and kid. I thought they'd just be jellybeans, with normal jellybean flavors. You know, just cute packages for the movie tie-in.
Nope.
There were actual disgusting flavors, as advertised.

Maybe I am too much of a computer guy. A few years ago, they started selling these jelly beans with 1023 different tastes. My immediate reactio was "What about the last one?"
Then it dawned upon me: They have ten different taste elements that may or may not be included. Like a 10 bit number. But binary value 0000000000 - none of the taste elements inclued - would be a completely tasteless jelly bean. There is the missing one! They didn't include it, or at least didn't count it, as one of the tastes.
I am still curious how much of each element they included. E.g. taste 1111111111, would it have 1/10 of each taste, or would it have a tenfold amount of total taste?
I am not that fond of jelly beans, so I never made a try do determine this from taste. My world doesn't break down even I don't know the answer...

No, tastes like chicken. And wait until the prOn crowd gets hold of it.

Does chicken has a taste?
I think modern six-weeks-olds has next to zero taste by themselves. They are merely a substrate for various kinds of spices and sauces.
The day I retire, I may start my own poultry in the back yard, to rase hens like in the old days when a hen tasted like a hen. Not as "chicke spice mix".

Finally delivering on one of Steve's old promises.
Steve Jobs - "We made the buttons on the screen look so good you'll want to lick them."
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

This month news broke about a hacker group, namely Blue Mockingbird, exploiting a critical vulnerability in Microsoft IIS servers to plant Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency miners on compromised machines. And they say you can't make money hosting on IIS

Quote: ... a critical vulnerability in Microsoft IIS servers ...
... is an untrusted deserialization vulnerability within the proprietary Progress Telerik UI (for ASP.NET AJAX) library ...
I guess "vulnerability in a third-party library" doesn't sound scary enough for their clickbait.

Perhaps they were looking for the word 'compendium', even though it isn't great in this context either? Unless they all fit in that pickle jar.

That's just idiotic. Imagine that same irate tech guy taking his car in to get service. Is the mechanic thinking all the same things?
Seriously, how come IT people don't seem to understand that just because they know a lot about computers doesn't mean everyone understands them and that they probably do not know much about other topics (except Star Trek maybe.) IT people can be so stupid.
