Hey, work the consumer complaint line in my office for a day. You'll be mainlining Scotch by noon.

There's a really good Indian/Nepali place just down the road and their lamb vindaloo is delicious (and spicy as hell). Haven't tried the goat yet, but they have it on the menu. Haven't had a bad thing from them yet.

Dodged a bullet on this one. Had the exact compromised version on my work lappy, but the 64-bit version didn't have the malware. That saved me from some "interesting" 'splainin. According to Piriform's site, the installer for 5.34 (latest malware-free version) will remove the malware. Have...

If only the first turn crashes would take out Hamilton.

It was much easier to find the "good" shops when I lived in a less urban part of the country. The joys of Vermont. I happened on this shop when I moved in with my girlfriend (later wife, and SWMBO) somewhere back in the last century (1990 or so). The lead service writer has a kid the same...

I tend to be a bit proactive of maintenance of this car as I really would like another six years or so out of it. Like you, I "pre-load" the preventative maintenance. I expect to buy a new ride every five years and that the old one will have roughly 130K miles on it when it goes. I don't ...

I've got to assume these were 10b5-1 sales.

Nope. Last two prior sales dates per EDGAR:

Ploder: 11/29/2016 - 08/29/2016
Gamble: 05/23/2017 - 05/20/2014
Loughran: 02/28/2017 - 02/21/2017

EDGAR knows all

10b5-1: You must get paid by gov't like I am. Who else knows this crap.

I love (and am happy to watch) a close, well fought game in almost any sport. Was that all the first game was? Or is there more behind the 'dumbest game' comments? Was it just the 'dumbest' game because their favoured team lost? It was an ugly, sloppy, and poorly-played game on both sides, which dr...

Another one i saw that made my eyes roll so hard that it was more dangerous than texting while driving would have been, "Arrive alive, don't text and drive" The electronic signs on the NY Thruway, Garden State Parkway, and NJ Turnpike all have some variant of "It can wait" aimed...

Dude works for CalTech and worked on Pioneer, Voyager, Galileo, AND Cassini. Lucky?? Well beyond lucky. That's a HOF career if there is one in that business.

My ~37 year old Scott speakers still sound halfway decent after all these years. I'm surprised they held up this long.

My Polk Audio Monitor 10Bs are roughly of the same vintage.

Try this one instead.

Much like the first one, it's two teams who are deadly rivals (compare Carlton/Collingwood or Carlton/Essendon).

The dot needs to hire those guys to come up with clever slogans. I get really tired of the crap that the government manages to put out. "click it or ticket" "you just blew 10,000 dollars" (failed breathalyzer) The best I've seen so far from the VT DOT (What's orange and sleeps 3...

I once saw, some 15+ years ago now, where someone had found an unlocked highway sign and had reprogrammed it to say:

Klaatu
Barada
Nikto

If I ever find myself in such a situation, that is exactly what I will make the sign say.

The best alternative would probably be for more companies to use electronic power units for the bunks which usually include electric coolers, and then use a wired power solution like "shore power". No one can decide if any form of apu is worth the money though. I expect that'll change as ...

You'd be surprised how much work has gone into damage proofing everything inside the truck. One time i hit a pothole so big i almost hit the ceiling, and my desktop did hit the ceiling damaging the roof speaker grill. A desktop PC in the lot lizard box? That's pretty brave. Sure hope that there's n...

2007WFP still soldiering on here.

Here are the required SEC reports for insider securities sales

Rodolfo Ploder - President - Workforce Solutions

John Gamble, Jr. - CVP & CFO

Joseph Loughran - President - USIS (??)

All three sold on 8/1/17, but sold nowhere close to their entire holdings.

The Dahlquist DQ-10 was designed to have this subwoofer, though after buying the DQ-10s on their own most people ran of of cash for the subwoofers.

Still, a wonderful piece of vintage audio history. Now all you need do is find a pair of DQ-10s in proper repair (good luck on that).

Wow, it's worse than I thought. http://spuz.me/blog/zine/3Qu1F4x.html Welcome to my day job. I spend a good chunk of my professional life telling profit-hungry CEOs that, while increased investment in IT will not add to your bottom line, it will cushion the whack you take WHEN (not IF) you have a p...

Back to the topic at hand, the fact it was Struts is pretty embarrassing. Sure, it's not just a patch but a patch and recompile (which implies significant QA testing), but it's not an excuse to fail. Not to mention they could have addressed it in the two months it took them to get powned. To not mo...

JBI, we have an RMS here.

Bring back Formula Libre.

Gold buggery split out to here:

One has to admire SpaceX's sense of humor. Here's a vid of all of the Falcon landing failures, set to a VERY appropriate piece of music. Not sure the younger gerbils will catch the significance of the music, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvim4rsNHkQ EDIT: Didn't catch it until prompted by ...

The elite talent is already employed by the NSA already to do just that. Not sure about this particular example but they have been known to hang on to numerous vulnerabilities they find for years before they are discovered in the public sphere.

They burned about 6 or so zero-days to make Stuxnet.

100 MB/sec is the best I can hope for when writing to the backup drive in its USB 3.0 sled, and that's only for really big files. For small stuff, 80 MB/sec is a more reasonable expectation.

Well, that was a normal week for me, yet again going 0-4.

And let's leave the R&P right there.
