I'll see your payola and astroturfing, and raise wining and dining newspapermen.

Totally unrelated to the "Yes Minister" documentary. Totally.
"Load bearing phrase", as they say.
A stupid ass that just keeps pushing on often goes further than a smart ass who gets distracted.
Today a bank really sent me a legitimate email about trying their new site. Went over, it was their site alright, logged in with correct username and password - poof, instantly blocked for suspicious access (from my usual home machine), call helpline to fix.
Now that's safe ... and useless. But safe.
Killed it and made just another shitty "progressive" sockpuppet, like what happened to Amnesty International?
There is stuff conservatives can support, but some shitheads decide they just must make it a "progressives only" club. Hurray for inclusion.
Please, can I have that for my typo collection?
Sheesh, let the lab mice have a breather. Want them to solve physics during the trip?
Yeah. Financialize the economy presupposing a global open market, then subvert, boycott and bomb said market. So clever.
And the last comment by 'oraguy' - I hope he just picked up another id because "never work for Oracle again" ...
Those three guys could wipe the floor with most of modern art.
(The Blake painting is tucked away in an almost-attic of the now "Tate Britain" old building in a quiet out of the way street, while the "Tate Modern" blockhouse graces the Thames south bank, mostly filled with glitzy trash. So it goes.)

Thank you.
... that just screams "green plastic stencil ruler"
The hardware was pretty solid, although I'm not sure anyone got around to doing custom microcode that was a selling point. The operating system (AOS/VS, was it?) was OK, but had some edge cases - I remember the filesystem had ACLs (access control lists), but you could create files owned by non-existent users (promptly used for a prank).
Thanks for the tale, it made a dent.
I.e. all these "tech companies" that want people to have accounts (and be heavily invested and/or dependent on them) should not be able to cancel those accounts without due process. This should be a legal requirement for them to operate at all.

It went underground - those who know just note that you're nekulturny, and move on.
They don't bother telling you about it, nowadays nothing good would come of that.
You could skip the "almost" if you had stuck to your guns on Windows Phone. It was a good phone OS, and we could have done without the iOS/Android duopoly, but MS chickened out.
So, you keep reading/writing Python and push a button to get binary executables through whatever hoops are best today ?
(I haven't seen the "fits your brain" tagline in the recent past ...)
Those were hunted down to extinction for ratings, about the time audience ratings were figured out. Not a reader left behind, so to speak ...
Most really deserved to be taken out and shot, they just demonstrated how lazy and unkempt the writer was. Editing was hell.
I can't quite figure out why the Mini became a luxury item ten years ago, leaving the kid's cheap tablet to Android.
