I had to use regedit to get rid of it. I still have a win11 boot disk, but I mostly run kubuntu now. Forty years of Microsoft being my primary operating system has come to a close. One drive and Copilot drove me away.

Funny hearing this criticism from Mozilla though.

Is she going to shoot him because she couldn’t train him? Or does she only do that to dogs?

This looks like it is technology that I should borrow for use in Texas. Love it.

Yeah, the protocol itself is pretty robust. The cable I had didn’t have enough noise immunity for the dirty power the building had in India (afternoon brown outs when the voltage dipped when the air conditioners ran). The Faraday cage that I made around the cable helped with the noise and also (and I believe more crucially though I had no scope to confirm) gave the two boards a common ground. I had a little trouble with before I left, but it didn’t work at all in India until I modded it. Made the hardware engineer buy me a beer when I got back.

This was a proprietary cable specific to our board design. Believe me, I wish we could have used a standard cable.

I once took a really crappy RS232 cable to India as part of some equipment to train our remote developers. The cable barely worked in our lab in the States. I told our hardware engineer that it wasn’t going to work in India, and I was right. So in India I ended up having to wrap the entire wire bundle in a wire that I soldered to ground on both sides. Soldered it together with a plumbing soldering iron. I am a software engineer, but I have an electrical engineering degree. The VP that I was traveling with couldn’t believe that the crap I made worked. Realistically, I couldn’t either.

Remember which idiots actually respond to polls. Do you answer phone calls from unknown numbers? If for some reason you did and it was a political poll would you remain on the line?

That’s not saying much. The average fart sounds more erudite than Pete.

The most acceptable loss for the Freedumb to own guns? I saw plenty of things making fun of him. Even before his body fully hit the floor. My favorite was a package of fruit gushers that had been altered to say Kirk Gushers and had his face with a flow of liquid coming from the neck.

Pretty sure my orange has never had custody of it.

Ted, you stupid motherfucker, how about we start executing them instead of protecting them?

In my fifties, can confirm it doesn’t get better. Do you want some additional stress like aging parents? Insufficient retirement savings? Insufficient savings to put your offspring through college? Escalating medical bills/failing health? Slowing reaction times? Bifocals? Dozens of other things that I am too senile to remember?

I intend to be retired for Y2038. I have been warning my younger coworkers that 1. they’re going to have to fix it, 2. It’s going to be worse than Y2K, and 3. Managers and up are not going to take it seriously because Y2K was mostly a nothing burger (because of a lot of hard work and investment that people forget about).

I’m not trying to start a debate on classification, I am just pointing out that the powers that be will have less inclination to protect one of their own based solely on things like skin tone. The only person prosecuted for all of the financial wrongdoing associated with the 2008 collapse was a black guy.

Well the chances of prosecution have increased since it is now a minority on white guy crime.

My issues are not install, but uninstall. Why do I have so much crap installed? I used it on a project once 7 years ago and haven’t since. Why not uninstall it? It is useful, just not currently. It took less than a minute to install when you installed it the first time and your connection is faster now? But what if the archive goes down or it is retired or obsolete? It is small, keep it!

Turns out lots of small adds up to big.

Hopefully the frustration gives that fat fuck a heart attack.

Ours love it. Two out of three of my parents’ cats love it. I split a tube onto two plates so that my subservient cat gets some while the piggy is busy with her own plate. The funny thing is that the piggy is underweight and the pushover is borderline a fatty.

Truly presidential decorum. Imagine if Obama had done this. We could have fed everyone in the world Chateau Briand from all of the cows Fox news would have had.

Whether they are or not, they don’t cover his throat. Just puts a premium on accuracy.
