"exciting" development that "align with with our new organisation’s harmonisation efforts"

Whats the best way of cleaning vomit off my keyboard?

So essentially

the DoJ's position is in line with Trump's agenda: "X is true when X needs to be true and Y is talse/fake when it needs to be both open to re-evaluation at a future time, leave them confused, let them ridicule and not criticize and we're all good for the next 3 years."

Maybe they actually meant "worth" £4.50

"stacked in a sandwich configuration"

As opposed to the "Wigan stag/hen do" configuration?

No way! Didn't realise el reg runs on Perl. Been on it for years and still use it daily. I hate myself not the language. And no wonder people find it intimidating and quickly send me some example snippet that doesn't even have use strict;.. Yes TIMTOWTDI but if you do the same things the same way across a project that's all right, can solve a system side problem way faster than my PHP colleague (bless him) wether it's to do with a DB or files or network/snmp.

And by the way, looking at ruby loops or ternary operators and such I don't understand why people consider Ruby closer to natural language. I guess haters gonna hate

Oof deep throttling

Equifax has brought every analytical tool, technique and data asset it has available to bear in order to ‘fill in the blanks’

How is an echo chamber biased?

Paris doesn't know either..

Brexit, then Trump now this..

Some questions

Do they have some ISO audits/certifications?

Is the weak security inherited from acquired businesses?

How, in today's internet where there's constant background noise of malicious scanning for vulnerabilities by bots and haxxors, do these things come to light now? Or they choose not to screw with big corporations unless they can get juicy private data?

All those signatures..

Will this be one of the last peaceful Government vs Corporations battles, ultimately using humans as ammunition?

Been reading too much Richard Morgan perhaps.

The inevitable Uber PR leanings though.. scary and all those mongs signing the petition.. Sure TfL could be more easily seen as the conventional bad guy but that's mainly due to Uber's campaign.

Maybe

It's Larry Ellison's

Why don't they use some Russian or Ukranian registrar there are plenty of neo-nazi sympathizers over there (not to mention all the alt-right trolling factories are based predominately there too). It will be a fitting metaphor for the subtle online dismantling of western left-ish values by vocal American *-right and Russian/Kremlin professional trolls.

Cognitive dissonance is strong with those types (referring to regional history)..

I thought Trump as a "conservative" would be all about personal freedoms and restricting fed govt reach. Would his prepper alt-whatever electorate have anything to say about this? Unless they consider themselves as part of the "I've nothing to hide" camp.

Well looking at his board all I can read is "Malcolm you can't say we can't [..]" so if the judge said that's criminal that'd literally be thought crime?

"These tests show CovertBand can track walking subjects with a mean tracking error of 18cm and subjects moving at a fixed position with an accuracy of 8cm at up to 6m in line-of-sight and 3m through barriers,"

Precise enough so the H-K drone can snipe you through the roof/walls without visual contact. Impressive

Nuclear launch detected

I remember a time when bots playing in place of person players was cheating, will AI replace having fun with my friends on SC?

</cynical friday mood>

I guess google/fb need to free my time up even more so that I can block their ads stare at their ads all day.

What I think is not mentioned is

that in Bulgaria and Romania even though they might be the 'poorest' EU countries such internet incl FTTP is dirt cheap even compared with the Big Mac index.

1400$

Meanwhile the faces at apple HQ --->

"faceless change drivers with no concern for the <insert bought company name> values"

So whats new?

Yes please or have some option to expand it back or something..

Ah Britain,

Exporting democratic and humanitarian values since..

Wait a minute!

10mm copper tube

When I first moved to the UK I found it strange how you have all those bare copper tubes going in and out of the houses... And of course one day that cold winter a couple years ago our water froze and I had to crawl following said pipes with a hair dryer or the kettle, pointless exercise, just had to weather to let up..

<currently trending *js solution> performs much better than MySQL on every level, I'd use that.
