Even better "Researchers suddenly remember WiFi are microwave".

If you bought "Pyromania" from Def Leppard in 1983 on vinyl should the record company (who may be out of business, or switched owners, or may not own the copyright anymore) have to…

Further, they don't have to look at the message to also log the time the message was received. That's why I've always appreciated the concept of Mixmaster's ability to delay sendin…

One of the issues here is affordable housing. If the cost of housing were accessible to the common person without a loan then there would be no need to push the banks to extend who…

Cinemas around here allow people to purchase beer no problem.

Made $73,500 last year as a freelance software consultant last year. Sole breadwinner in my house - my wife doesn't work. Paid my estimated federal and state income taxes through t…

You've clearly never been to my local public library - this is often how things are there - second and fourth book in a four book series there, first and third nowhere to be found.…

Your public library and services like Overdrive are "NetFlix for text". NetFlix for text != zero curation, NetFlix curates their selection.

I was going to set up a VirtualBox virtual network disconnected from the Internet to do this - perhaps only allowing HTTPS to a Debian/Ubuntu mirror if I need to install packages. …
