Can it get me a cold beer from the fridge?

I thought this would be an interesting article then about 5 seconds after loading the page a giant advertisement took over the page. So I closed the tab. Oh well.

First off, it's a government site so everything is a little more expensive.

Secondly, I think that million dollar price tag is about right. Let's say you have 10 full time people building and maintaining the site. Developers, dev ops, security, pointy haired managers, etc. Add in the hardware/hosting costs and you have a million dollars right there.

Wedding ring. I could have spent $10k on it and the marriage still would have failed.

Un-related to the FCC nightmare, how do you, as AG, feel about bitcoin and crypto currencies?

Why do I have a feeling that their electric car will suck?

If you're young, sell now. Then take some time and pursue something more recreational for a while. When you're ready to get back into the grind you'll still have a nice stake to start with.

Yeah, the Bitpay card is nice except for the dormancy fee. If you don't use it for 90 days they start charging you $5 a month. No thanks.

We're are in an Orwellian decade.

netcat -z -w 2 $ipaddress 22;echo $?

How hard is that?

Too late for me then

Why not just use bitcoin?

IMHO This is a stupid knee jerk reaction. Many Uber drivers ARE immigrants. Not using Uber makes it worse for them, not better.

The whole "delete Uber" thing may have been started by the taxi drivers in the first place. Maybe they saw an opportunity to take out some of the competition.

Do what you want though. We get it. You're a freedom fighter.

What about wind power? Are we out of wind?

No Facebook. Can not use.

Something like commandlinefu?

Click bait.

Wow. I hadn't thought of delicious in a long time.

This looks like spam.

Yeah, but can I run Linux on it?

He learned that 3 years ago? They've been around since the 80's

No Linux support. Oh well.

My dad was a computer guy in the 60's. He designed core memory modules. When I was in high school in the late 70's I expressed an interest in computers (Heathkits in particular) and he told me I wasn't good enough in math to really get into the computer field. The fact was, I didn't like math and never took the advanced classes so I took his word for it.

Then came the PC. In my late 20's I bought an 8088 and found my true calling. I don't hold a grudge against my old man for his short-sightedness; I think he'd be amazed by what we're doing with computers these days and I think he'd be proud that I was able to follow in his footsteps.

Brings me back to the days when I had a 300baud modem on my C-64 and tied up the phone line for hours at a time.

You get what you pay for.

From an IT perspective, it means a lot of integration work between the two companies. So the employees have that to look forward to. I imagine many Office Depot employees will be jumping ship early to avoid the massive layoffs at the end of the year.
