Just a few steps from "My secret police will now 'explain' to you just how not fascist I am."

I don't think this game has much replayability. Especially as the server is becoming less and less stable.

They've been using cluster bombs since the first day of the war. He might as well have said they'll invade Ukraine "if they have to."

This is warning showing why spreading out is important. No one instance being offline should be able to affect so many Motorheads at once.

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.

  1. Every day is a day I'd rather have off.
  2. It ruined the thing I loved (programming) for me

I'm sure this won't have any chilling effects amongst the researchers who keep us all safe.

Edit to add that Johnson & Johnson is/was also trying to use patent loopholes to make sure poor people die from tuberculosis; until the internet got mad.

Wine + Wayland for sure. It's time to let X11 rest, it's earned it.

There are people still alive who remember a world before "splinter-free" toilet paper.

The manufacturing of this product had a long period of refinement, considering that as late as the 1930s, a selling point of the Northern Tissue company was that their toilet paper was "splinter free".

My HS put networked computers in every classroom a couple years before I graduated (so '95 or '96). They put predictable passwords on all the teacher accounts, and all teacher accounts had write access to network shares. Those of us who figured that out stashed copies of the Doom WAD file (the one file too big to fit on a single 3.5" floppy) all over the network under different names. So even after they figured out we were in and started forcing teachers to change their password, there were still a dozen or more copies spread over the network.

Student access was enough to copy the WAD file locally over the 100mbit ethernet if you knew where to look. And we all carried the rest of the game around on floppy. So any time we got access to the computers we were playing doom. We also passed around floppies with different mod files. The chicken launcher was everyone's favorite.

It's not easy to source expired carbon fiber and windows rated to 1/3rd of your target depth.

"Merger" that was really a purchase. New CEO started immediately talking about making our $30mil company a $100mil company within 3 years and we all then knew they were going to work is to death and then sell us as soon as the multiples became unbound from revenue.

2 years later they're in their 3rd CEO and there was just another max exodus. Glad I left early.
