because most Linux systems don't even use DHCP

This is the dumbest thing I've heard all day.

A Venn diagram is not a pie chart, they're all circles.

That's the joke?

This was still a school shooting. Justified or not, a child was still murdered.

Sounds like they are admitting that their cars violate FCC rules about interferance.

If that had been true for this case these deaths could have been avoided. Thanks for mansplaining the very thing I was upset did not happen and did not save these people from a meaningless death.

Or maybe move smaller safer pieces. It is a fucking PUBLIC road, may e the kind of thing that should be permitted to be safely and completely CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC if such an obviously dangerous load needs to use it. But, I guess a little government oversight and corporate ethics is too high a price compared to those dead citizens.

The cause seems pretty obvious. Transporting an oversized load on a road that was obviously not designed to handle that kind of load safely. No public roads are really. The fact that it was even allowed on a public road is fucking appalling.

Tasker

If you're using Android you can automate lockdown mode using Tasker so that it can it can be enabled "passively". For example, on my phone lockdown happens after: too many incorrect access attempts (bad biometric or passcode), any Bluetooth disconnects, any sudden shakes or jolts. So if someone takes my phone away from me, takes my phone from my car, or if I turn off my watch then lockdown. If someone fails to unlock my phone: photo taken, synced to cloud, phone lockdown. If my phone gets tapped, set down a little to roughly, or I get thrown to the ground or against a car with my phone in my pocket then lockdown. Sure, it means biometrics is often disabled on my phone, but now I find that reassuring.

This is why the field of actuarial science exists. I bet whomever is insuring these businesses would be interested in all of these management attitudes and business practices.

People that ask annoying questions never do.

I'd hazard a guess that financial impacts of reduced performance as a result of this torturous schedule pale in comparison to the cost due to injuries.

I've recently had to work a couple of overnight shifts when I was overwise working basically dawn to dusk. Staying awake isn't that hard. Getting real sleep becomes the struggle. What surprised me though was the vertigo, constant low grade nausea, and dizziness that disappeared after a normal full NIGHT's rest. I may feel like a night owl sometimes, but my body does not agree.

Exactly. Three of them are dressed like Grandma out shopping for fused glass jewelry and shawls that look like they were knitted by a crow at the local outdoor art market. The other one looks like Grandpa.

You're making a lot of unfounded assumptions here. Also, either your reading comprehension sucks or you're being deliberately obtuse by claiming I said any such thing.

If you think doing research doesn't include asking questions, maybe you should do some better research on doing research.

Original? No. Usenet, BBS, IRC are the originals. Napster made it hip. Soul seek made it better. Then there was Limewire, DirectConnect, and some others. Then there was BitTorrent, which I really did use to download Linux ISOs before the rise of popular public and private trackers.

Wait, you mean after a simple kernel update? Not a release upgrade obviously because arch uses a rolling release cycle?

No way to live.

I'm not sad that Google turned out to be evil because I care about Google. I don't care about Google. I'm disappointed in no longer being able to search for and find the things online on any search engine.

You just described the categories pages many search engines had before Google. Or proto Web 2.0 bookmark sharing sites like del.icio.us. Sites like Metafilter also existed as a kind of Internet index before everyone was adding reddit.com to their Googling. It's a laudable idea, but these systems all seem to fall prey to market manipulation in much the same way that SEO helped kill Google.
