Did you hear the one about the user who complained that the SFTP connection that was configured for them wasn't working, giving the error "access denied - you don't have permission to access $Recycle.Bin"...

Happy beer o'clock, folks.

US voting server in election security probe is mysteriously wiped

@OldCoot

You talk like there were only two options - The Corporate Hawk or the Blowhard.

There weren't.

How many people voted for one 'cos the other was beyond the pale?

One is a professional politician and the corporate candidate, and the other is a businessman with a string of bankruptcies behind him, and and a disgusting human being to boot.

You could have chosen Sanders - a pro politician himself, but an apparently humane person.

But no - he's a socialist.

So let's have the blowhard, who puts on a great show and will 'mix things up' in Washington.

Good luck with that.

Or am I missing something obvious about school authorities in the U.S.?
