…even if your client asks you to never patch them. I’ve got something like 160 billable hours since November 1 because my client “didn’t want to see popups” on some customer-facing kiosks. The popups they were complaining about were operating system updates being pushed out, so we stopped pushing updates …
To continue with my linky-minimal-thinky posting trend for today, Joe Huffman weighs in on the open carry debate. You will want to read the whole thing, and check out the massive link-fest at the end, but his end sentence is a good take-away:
A lot of states and cities have been making a lot of noise about how unsafe it is to drive while talking on a cell phone you are holding. Well, the facts are out – the real reason you do not want to talk on a cell phone while driving …
According to the anti-rights advocates of our world, things like this never happen, and even if they did happen, you should wait for the police to arrive, rather than try to defend yourself and your family. I say, “To Hell with that,” on both counts. Home break-ins, robberies, burglaries, and …
As the saying goes, coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous. Right after leaving a comment on the most-recent post in a seriesofpostsregarding a quasi-debate Roberta X is having with some other individuals concerning how the Bill of Rights should and should not be applied, I poked …
What. The. Frak? Yes. That is Our Glorious President. That is President Barack Hussein Obama of the United States of America demonstrating that he, and, by extension, his country, is subservient and deferential to Emperor Akihito of Japan. In just over 50 years, we went from a mere General…
As a recurring project here at “walls of the city”, I have been taking quotes from anti-rights advocates, and editing them slightly to more-adequately expose the outright and rankbigotrycontained within them. Sometimes, this editing is a bit of a stretch, and I am willing to admit that, …
GSB is about what ships you design, and what you tell them to do. Your individual ship commanders have total autonomy during the chaotic battle that unfolds. This is not a tactical game, it is a strategic one.
Better Half and I managed to hang nine things on the walls of our apartment so far this week, with another two or so scheduled for today. All that means is that we will find a house we could be happy with tomorrow……
For more than a few months, our military commanders in Afghanistan have been requesting more troops in order to support the ongoing compaigns there. Those requests have, no doubt, been couched in very political and cautious language, but even so, the primary message of all of them have been …
Imagine that you are high up in the chain of command of an activism and lobbying organization. Imagine that one of your representatives, operating in his official representative capacities, gave a video interview at some point in the past. Imagine that the said representative managed to thoroughly misquote an Amendment …
I am not sure which was worse in my dream – the zombies, or the clean-up robots (who mostly resembled a human-sized version of the Lost in Space movie’s Robot) who could not differentiate between moving-but-mostly-dead humans and moving-but-still-living ones. At least the ‘bots relied on melee attacks as much …
As of five minutes ago, there were somewhere around 20 individuals waiting outside our local Applebee’s (with an indeterminate number inside). Good to see.…
“Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress?
