Been too quiet here, where is everyone?

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/11/on-call/ -- "Yes, I'm qualified to speak on this matter you're calling about, here's my PhD-equivalent to prove it."

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/18/on_call/ -- getting tossed under the bus by BOTH the user AND the boss, and after a 2week vacation to boot.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/1 ... dong_that/ -- little fun with Bing's always funny, especially when it leads to this : https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/1 ... ge_mishap/ :-D :-D

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/1 ... a_in_bulk/ -- Govnt to BigCorp, "suck it, suck it all I say!"

On a good day, a Tomahawk can fly into the door of a two-car garage at the distance of several hundred miles. And that can ruin your whole day.

Fun links I found :

http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/everyt ... 1798298181 -- time to get collision insurance for "getting/hit(ting) USNavy vessel."
Not exactly fun times, at least based on the count of destroyers out of service (2) vs how many in the squadron (eight).

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/2 ... ille_raid/ -- give up a comfy tech job for the chance to be shot at, either by the enemey...
or your own side? Hmmm...

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/2 ... oobs_deal/ -- The Y-chromosome approves of THIS deal!!

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/2 ... at_action/ -- "DLINK" and "enterprise" in the same sentence. Reaaaaaaally?

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/2 ... _grounded/ -- 47year old 747? Wow! Then again, old Boeing motto / joke I heard when visiting their
plant in Seattle, "If ain't Boeing, I ain't going!"

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/2 ... therboard/ -- inner tech geek approves of THIS! :D

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/2 ... are_patch/ -- "smart" TV... isn't *sighs*

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/25/on_call/ -- I absolutely LOATHE bosses like this, especially with
an attitude like this
To which the team leader responded that Craig was a lowly functionary and should do what he was told by his betters.
Emp. mine

How's everyone's lead up to the weekend going?

BGP Oooopsies! over the weekend caused Japan to "drop off the internet." Hope no one's "need the latest RAW/SUB NOW!" was affected. I'm going to have to read this more in detail to see what happened.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/2 ... artphones/ -- 36,000 WINDOWS smartphones... hmm, wonder if the NYPD will have a firestorm sale on them instead?
Love to read more into the politics behind the purchase decision, sounds like a case of "I don't care about alternatives, JUST DO IT!" going on behind the scenes.

http://nypdnews.com/2017/08/deputy-comm ... t-article/ -- regarding NYPD smartphone, some salient points
The contract entered provided for the smartphones at no cost. It also allowed for the NYPD to replace the smartphones with devices of our choosing two years later, also at no cost.
Our smartphone initiative is 45% under budget. . Based on current rate of spending, we expect to stretch what was initially budgeted at two years of spending to more than four years.
"Foot, meet mouth" much?

Alexa marries Cortana, huh? For some reason I keep hearing "Rule 34 THAT!" in my head! :-D

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/3 ... _brownout/ -- after the Google BGP oopsies, umm....

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/08/3 ... h_tsignal/ -- hmm, this sounds interesting, though color me skeptical about anything that promises "complete privacy."

No such thing as privacy....

"Can I help you?, "you know this section is.." she broke off her sentence as the man walked towards her and nodded, "I think you can Captain".
Tessa looked down, "I haven't been called Captain in 4 years," Wha..what do you want?"
He gave her a devious grin, "I'm here to make sure you keep your promise."

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/0 ... tude_case/ -- why I never got into sales. Then again, I take the BOFH view salesmen need to be eliminated... slowly, quietly...

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/0 ... _for_data/ -- bug Oooopsies!

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/0 ... miserable/ -- "Fortunately, TfL did it right: they used ICO guidelines to protect users' privacy." Wow, they did it RIGHT for once...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09 ... y-outside/ -- I've no love for Red China, but my faith in humanity somewhat restored over this story.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/desti ... n-majorca/ -- talk about the ultimate discard pile of junk!

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/2 ... airliners/ -- oh boy, where could this go wrong.

Also, to Killer and any other neighbor south of the 49th, doesn't look like I'll be coming to the States anytime soon,
news that starting Oct 18th they expect "US naturalized citizens and new immigrants" to start turning over social
media IDs -- insert the immortal words of Martin Niemöller

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/2 ... 3m_outage/

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/2 ... the_robot/ -- let's see : sexdoll (check), at an adult convention (check),
with horny XY-ers (check), likely minimal supervision at the trade booth (check), so exactly WHAT did they think was
going to happen?

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/2 ... ewdriving/ -- was only a matter of time...

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/0 ... rain_test/ -- like the toy trains you used to play with,
just ALOT bigger

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/0 ... at_age_66/ -- passing of an industry giant, RIP

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/0 ... hristians/ -- HAHAHAHA!

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/0 ... ormer_ceo/ -- dunno if anyone
else is following the Equifax gongshow, but talk about a highlevel "throwing under the bus" treatment by the (ex)CEO.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/0 ... w_zealand/ -- pesky thing called timezones... OOOPS!

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/0 ... rn_europe/ -- oh WOW! I'd LOVE
to read the postmortem on THIS TITSUP screwup!

https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/201 ... rpass.html -- so how's this for getting close to wildlife? In Calgary no less?

...Noir and my neck of the woods. Can't tell which station it's at, but yeah...

Caught Kingsman The Golden Circle yesterday... wasn't as good as the 1st IMO, but still had it's moments. Julianne
Moore plays the "I'm a fun-loving and comical 50s marm but psychotic" so well, and I love how the Princess and Roxy
from the 1st movie were brought back. Can't decide which is the funnier line though : the "skipping rope" crack, or
"that was the best s**t I had in 3weeks!"
