If we did a straight popular vote it would be no contest. Thank the electoral college for all the fuckery…

Back in the 90’s before the days of Windows 3.0 I had to debug a memory manager written by a brilliant but somewhat odd guy. Among other thing I stumbled across:

  • A temporary variable called “handy” because it was useful in a number of situations.
  • Another one called son_of_handy, used in conjunction with handy.
  • Blocks of memory were referred to as cookies.
  • Cookies had a flag called shit_cookie_corrupt that would get set if the block of memory was suspected of being corrupt.
  • Each time a cookie was found to be corrupt then the function OhShit() was called.
  • If too many cookies were corrupt then the function OhShitOhShitOhShit() was called, which would terminate everything.

Just as long as the sharks don’t get frick’n lasers on their heads.

Some weirdo who had the ability to run a casino into bankruptcy.

What are the odds she mentions them by name and points them out during one of her answers? That would really piss Trump off.

Depends on a large part how deep the water is right at the edge. The bows of the boats are largely on top of the surface. The stern of the boats sit lower in the water, and when lowered the outboard motors will sit a foot or more under the surface. It’s very possible that at low tide the prop could hit bottom when backing in…

If you have ssh open to the world then it’s better to disable root logins entirely and also disable passwords, relying on ssh keys instead.

Port 22 is the default SSH port and it receives a TON of malicious traffic any time it’s open to the whole internet. 20 years ago I saw a newly installed server with a weak root password get infected by an IP address in China less than an hour after being connected to the open internet.

With all the bots out there these days it would probably take a lot less time if we ran the same experiment again.

Yeah, but in this case, they are talking heads with a significant following, and anything they say in public at this point could also come back to bite them in the keister. And given the track record of these people, more than one of them is likely to publicly put feet into mouths long before they talk to a lawyer.
