  1. They've still got QNX.
  2. Why wouldn't it work? The oligarchs would certainly be a bit upset if they lost their yachts, mansions, sports teams, and everywhere else they keep their wealth away from Putin.
  3. And yet there's opposition to teaching it in schools!

    "I love the poorly educated"

    - Some Guy

  4. No, just education in media literacy and how to critically evaluate sources.
  5. All jewelry is ridiculously marked up. You see Cash for Gold places, but have you ever seen Cash for Diamonds?
  6. You forgot the best bit - not removing the ones you no longer use!
  7. Hamas isn't Palestine.
  8. Odd choice, now that it looks like he will be.
  9. But that buildout brought FTTN (cell towers, DSLAMs and DOCSIS) because loads was overinstalled in places that made little economic sense at the time.
  10. That still leaves the question of "why?". If he wanted to commit suicide he could have had an "accident" in a light aircraft instead of murdering 238 people, and the entire point of terrorism is for everyone to know it was you.
  11. It also happened with fiber during the dotcom boom. Years later, that came useful when everyone wanted YouTube in their pocket.
  12. >On the other hand, you see the richest people being the ones that make a big start-up then get acquired, is a good job even necessary for lots of money?

    That's like winning the lottery, becoming an A-list Hollywood actor, or a famous rock star.

    You're not looking at the millions who failed.

  13. I had a teacher who recommended what he called a Rumsfeld chart.

    Read the course syllabus, now divide it into three lists:

    - What you know you know

    - What you know you don't know

    - What's left is what you don't know you don't know

  14. You can't even accuse people of sex crimes or threaten to murder them without getting arrested any more! What is the world coming to?
  15. It is not my job to parent your fucking child. You want to talk about responsibility? Take some.
  16. Well, that's the point - you're not really supposed to get ideas above your station.
  17. The problem is corruption, and that's not easy to fix.
  18. Just an idea - how about not breaking the law?
  19. The Royal Armouries in Leeds, England has that. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.
  20. Even Flash wasn't as bad as Java applets, and that's saying something.
  21. Antifa is not a group.
  22. Bombs are falling on your head and you still have the time to spam. Well done.
  23. The data suggesting that it might help treat COVID came from India... where intestinal worms are common.

    So of course it looked like it worked when you're actually solving a different problem.

  24. >But they turned up their nose at representing Trump because he doesn’t subscribe to their religion.

    Of course, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with his habit of refusing to pay.

  25. The story goes that they were talking about figuring our where someone lived and cutting the power to their house so their ship would be defenceless.

    You might be taking a game a bit too seriously if the FBI show up to have a chat.

  26. This is a comforting lie Americans tell themselves to justify being ripped off.

    You pay double the OECD average, and more per person for healthcare than the Swiss - and that's only counting the publicly funded parts!

  27. $1 per gig overage?

    I'd be using someone else's credit card for that...

  28. EVE Online had to put their foot down when people were talking about what could easily be considered terrorism.
