"I have to consider that the shooter was in a romantic relationship with his "trans" roommate. That would apparently indicate left-leaning political sympathies."
An interesting concept. It had never occurred to me that sexual preferences were influ…
"I recently read CNN could possibly be taken over by a right leaning owner."
Larry Ellison, I believe. A Trump admirer. And also in line for part of Tik-Tok.
U'mmm.... wow- this is the first time in my 86 years that I've been a terrorist! I hope that somebody knows more about how this works than I do.
What are we supposed to terrify next?
Yes, it's interesting that "old fashioned" mechanical/electronic drives are preferred to "all electronic memory (memory chip)" drives. Personally I still use all mechanical/electronic drives, They are inexpensive, easy to back up, and completely ind…
In the early days of the internet there were many competing technical "standards". The saying was "standards are a good thing, because there are so many to choose from". That would seem to also apply to the SEC "standards".

Routers communicate with the internet devices in your home two possible ways: via a directly wired Ethernet cable, and/or via Ethernet using a radio channel. If that radio channel is strong enough to broadcast outside your home (which is typical), i…

" I have been a reader of SciFi since the early 1970's. And read much from the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Arthur C Clarke being my favorite of all time. It has been fun to watch some of it transpire."
