Haha, damn that's cold blooded

A week or so ago, not sure when, but Opera updated. Nothing was really different, except the autosuggest / autofill items were now bold. I didn't think much of it, until Chrome updated, suddenly theirs were bold too. What the...? I've tried to find out if there's any discussion from either company regarding this, but I sure can't find it, though I'm not the only person who has noticed.

It was hard to get out of bed this morning and drive to work.. In the negatives again today!

I'm not sure what this out of bed thing is, but I don't want to try it.

@scottalanmiller said in MongoDB Major Change to Licensing:

I think this describes my position best...

I think that the true intent of the license was to trick people into thinking that the intent was to cover only limited scenarios. But no law firm would have been so clumsy if that was the goal for real. In reality, I think the intent was to actually cover anything and everything while providing plausible deniability as to how evil the license is in reality.

I agree, that was my impression simply on first reading it.

I can't wait until we are learning about American rail history. We plan on doing some model railroad projects and riding the rails from Chicago to California to explore the old rail trails.

Nerd alert.

Kidding, I love trains, seriously, and when my youngest daughter said she liked trains, she became my favourite

I've never seen an enterprise shop that allowed compiling. Or if they did, it had to be done by a security controlled team and then deployed through normal means (RPM, DEB, MSI, etc.) I've never worked anywhere where compilers on the boxes wasn't a "no no".

That's true too, but my own point on that subject was that the sysadmins needed to at least know how to actually do it. There's nothing that beats a tool which will automatically get all the dependencies and everything.

@thanksaj said:

Am I right @tonyshowoff ?

Definitely. It's easier to warm up than it is to cool down. I'd rather wear a coat than sweat my ass off and be brutalised by sunshine. I don't know why people call those "beautiful days," they're insufferable.

Should stay secure? Should and will in this context make a whole lot of difference.

• Sleeping with uppermanagement

A big company I worked at years ago, there was an employee sleeping with a under executive and basically got away with murder all the time, and this was against policy, and yet nobody ever did anything. This company is almost bankrupt today, I wonder why...

Yeah, lipo is far more dangerous than li-ion. I'm not sure why they even got used in laptops.

They say lipo is dangerous, but I just can't seem to lose the weight.

I've never seen Lost, but

spoilers

It seems like a really stupid TV show based on all I've read about it, glad I didn't get wrapped up in it like I did Earth2, I'll never get that time back.

Consider it penance for using SECAM when the rest of the west was using PAL (or NTSC)

I've got an older sister with severe autism and epilepsy, and back home, in that culture having anyone mentally handicapped at all is taboo as hell so people often abandon children in dangerous, state run homes where they are neglected and abused. My sister is in a home, but it is a private one, and I spend a hell of a lot of money on it and they treat her well. My second-to-youngest sister visits her often, usually twice a week. Unfortunately even the well treated people there from wealthy families tend to almost never be visited by anyone.

So I think awareness is important because, at least in South Eastern Europe, the taboo has to end because many loved ones are being mistreated and it's simply ignored by the population at large. People are even advised to simply forget they have this infirm and/or disabled relative and just move on. It's disgusting. My own family even did that with my sister until I was able to do something about in my early 20s -- she now has her own room, with her own personal things in it, where as before she had a large adult crib in a huge room.

The prototype, code named "Lee Harvey" was a controversial one.

No AJ, you don't.

Kind of on a rant today, aren't you @tonyshowoff ?

Not really, my wife said she was tired of hearing me complain about things on the Internet, so now I'm just typing what I used to sit here and say outloud, shouting across the room.
