Enjoy your subsequent trips to the oncologist.

Just because patches are available does not mean that they have been applied. Legacy applications, specialized hardware, vendor shenanigans, and organizational inertia can be significant impediments to keeping operating systems at current runlevels.

It's way funnier if you read it in the voice of Boris Badenov (of "Rocky and Bullwinkle" fame).

The HEB Central Market on Westheimer might have more of what you're looking for insofar as Organic meat.

Not unique to the cruise industry. Filipino crews make up a lot of the maritime industry's labor force. Container ships, tankers, offshore drilling, you name it. Some of the best food I've eaten offshore was on vessels with Filipino catering crews.

The cruise ship guys, comparatively, have it good. There are innumerable stories of entire freighter crews being marooned in third world ports by shipowners who didn't want to pay them.

The global shipping industry is, unfortunately, a race to the bottom. Every time that John McCain proposes the repeal of the Jones Act, I cringe with the thought of what it would do to what's left of the American merchant marine.

Don't discount the Omega Speedmaster Professional. I've had multiple people comment on my "moonwatch"

There's also some really great material at the JSC Oral History project:

Well, yes. Foamy keg beer of dubious provenance deserves no less than a cheap plastic cup.

todo.txt and its accompanying structure [0] / rigor are a good starting point. Keeping the thing in a place that syncs across multiple platforms is an exercise for the reader.

My local PBS station reruns 1970's Justin Wilson episodes in the middle of the night. Pure awesomeness.

There is a very high likelihood that this has already happened, and the voting will follow in the next day or so.

Remove the space from her name and then look for a word in the middle that is commonly associated with spam emails.

Leech zmodem, scourge of the 713.

Eventually, however, the persistently squeaky wheel gets replaced.

What amazed me was the overlap between serious tournament MtG players and professional poker players. A lot of the mechanics are more transferable than one would initially think.

"Um, bonjour. Est en cours d'exécution de votre réfrigérateur?"

Things are tough all over.

Signed, person that bought a first generation iPad.

We had them, for decades. They involved the use of punched cards and a butterfly ballot. The voter could physically inspect the ballot to determine which holes were punched. Sadly, the "hanging chad" of Bush v. Gore (2000) pushed many states into using electronic machines, with predictable results.

I would be thrilled if the amount dispensed were at least enough to cover the parking that the courthouse charges.

Funny, but incorrect. This mostly has to do with spurious RF noise generated by badly engineered devices like power supplies or manual light dimmer switches - things that aren't designed to communicate. Manufacturers are supposed to test for these sorts of emissions, but frequently don't.

What's nice about the Baofeng VHF/UHF handhelds is that they correspond with the frequencies available to an entry level ("technician") US amateur radio license. When combined with an online study guide, the test fees and radio combined are less than $75, providing an inexpensive introduction to learning a lot about RF systems and proper radio operating procedures.

Version 2.0 might need to include emigration, given the sheer number of "if X is elected, I'm leaving the country" cases in popular culture.

I have an unusual last name - firstinitiallastname.com was about $10 per year.

I just got a wicked case of the heebie-jeebies thinking about the automotive equivalent of CSMA/CD.

That's because Houston has no zoning.

Regimes come and go; metadata is forever.

It's another term for pirate's treasure.

Depending on the legal system that one finds oneself subject to, jewelry is often considered a "personal effect" rather than an asset to be seized, such as gold bars, coins, or currency - and is therefore not subject to forfeiture.

Somewhere in the dark recesses of my closet is a "System 7.5 sucks less" shirt. What's old is new again, I suppose.
