Insane and stupid histrionic clickbait.

Maybe your parents didn’t teach you empathy when you were growing up, as is so prevalent these days. There are millions of retired people on fixed incomes who bought their homes wh…

Juan from the Blanco Lirio channel just consolidated the rumors that two (2) Tor (Gen 1) (NATO: SA-15 “Gauntlet”) short-range missiles were probably fired from a battery near the t…

I remember the smell of carbonless copy paper from an Okidata dot matrix printer hooked up to an AT&T 6300 (same as Olivetti M24) at my dad’s garage (shop). It’s like an earthy “ne…

Canonical, FreeBSD, Joyent and upteen Sun customers over 15 years disagree with an opinionated non-programmer jerk with anger issues espousing Tweet soundbites lacking any data to …

Stupid, stupid, stupid.. design-by-corporate committee. “Open standards” my left foot.

No 747 has been used for mainstream commercial passenger service for almost a year because it’s an old, uneconomical design that simply can’t compete anywhere except in cargo.

That makes it a 737 NG. The NG’s structural components were mostly manufactured (badly) by a subcontractor, Ducommun, but Boeing insisted on installing them anyhow. In 2010, there …

You watch too much CNN or MSNBC to dredge up the disproven Russiagate conspiracy theory FUD. Maybe you should wait for investigators to provide their preliminary findings, eh?

Kid: flies an R/C airplane at a park. FAA: “You’re under arrest for unlicensed drone operation!” Is this sort of scenario we really want? More government control and monetary extra…

So, has HN turned into a political conspiracy theory and propaganda factory to beat the drums towards war? I just don’t see how this is relevant except to egg-on the paranoid InfoW…

So is it sonic, cryogenic or something else (either fraudulent or real)?

North American feelings are more important than data, rationality and logic... because ignorant people “know better” than climate scientists and subject-matter experts. It sucks, b…

Basically every US Navy ship with radar constantly records radar data. It would be easy to demonstrate the aircraft’s flight profile to exonerate the ship. Hiding it means they’re …

FUD. It’s not lightning.

Whether things are causes, consequences or side-effects is overly-simplistic, linear thinking that isn’t helpful when there are many real pains. Don’t bikeshed on labels or categor…

Inverted totalitarianism imposed by the consequences of extreme greed by the very rich has created ALL of these conditions: divided-and-conquered polarized populace, learned helple…

Empathy, shame and the Golden Rule have to be taught. If not, feral kids tend to grow up to be self-absorbed, mean, psychopathic, selfish pricks. PS: I grew up middle class but am …

It’s typical for centuries, if not millennia, that politicians will start external dramas (i.e., wars) as smokescreens to deflect and to distract from internal controversies.

Possibly from a “BETAMAX” features point-of-view, but it’s not as pervasive as WiFi (“VHS”). My front door lock is Zigbee only because a WiFi camera is its WiFi-to-Zigbee bridge. E…

Using higher GHz is all about selling more hardware. Let’s use 500 GHz so you have to have one in ever corner of every room to work. And don’t breathe or take a shower because that…

I worked briefly in the radio group at Trimble Nav Ltd. around the DotCom times. 900 MHz and VHF CB bands didn’t have great channel bandwidth but sure worked well at a distance. 2.…

Comrades, this is your captain. It is an honor to speak to you today, and I am honored to be sailing with you on the maiden voyage of our motherland's most recent achievement. Once…

Never get into bed with a VC unless you’re comfortable waking up next to them for the next 3-10 or more years.

Pegasus Mail is still alive? I worked for a small nuclear energy consultancy that used it circa 1998 on Windows 3.1 and 95 on a Novell Network.
