    I hadn't, but then 2.1.177 dropped in on auto-update and I assumed that was going to be the end of Fable for me, but I'm still on it. At least that's what the model picker is conti…

    Some of us graybeards use to use teletypes to talk to our computers. In one of the earlier races between differing I/O, the printer couldn't print as fast as the teletype was recei…

    So they're brute forcing the master password for these databases. Why should I be worried if I'm using a non-dictionary multi-word passphrase as my master password? "Different pass…

    Why is thrott.com (ThrottleHQ) on your block list? I'd argue that those emails aren't disposable. I use ThrottleHQ to track when service providers resell my email to other lists.

    I'm running macOS Sierra, 10.12 and Safari 10.0 (12602.1.50.0.10) I do not get the color change. Yes, 12602, not 11602.
