None of this is surprising. I keep the lowest possible amount of money in paypal to cover eBay charges. Too many horror stories.

Former QSA here....and that external scanning vendor (one in each quarter) and two required Pen Tests per year had not be HackerOne carrying them out. Automatic conflict of interes…

Intergalactic numbers station!

I don't trust my car. I roll down the windows if I leave the keys in it for any reason so I don't get locked out when it decides to auto-lock itself or leaving it running or to ste…

I had four Apple IIs (IIgs, rest IIes) and I had a network going and everything. Sold them all in 2003 because of no job for over a year. Sold them all for $250. I could get $3000 …

Dude! That's mean! But it would be awesome to hear wind or other sounds on Mars.

Isn't that how cancel culture works? You talk smack until the damage is done and put out a correction saying "whoops, I was wrong"? Politics needs to get out the business of destro…

I think it would be more productive to do that and release the source for other out of date platforms like GW-BASIC and MS COBOL.

I am pretty sure the C-level at Microsoft is having quite the laugh at this petition.

It is more for convenience for the landlord. A second bathroom can give them time to fix the problem for what's broken.

I believe 99% of the problem is marketing. Adding an additional bathroom can add $5000 USD (or more) onto the asking price of a home in the US.

Former Houston native here so I will weigh in. Houston being less affordable that NYC is debatable. I have lived in 3 other states and 5 other major cities and everywhere I have be…
