If you are Chinese in china then you are charged with corruption.
If you are non Chinese in china then you are charged with espionage.
It is the same every time you read about shit like this. I live for the day when President Pooh Bear gets his name in the media being charged with corruption and I hope I don't have to wait too long. He is the one who wants to rape and pillage the chip industry in the Republic of China (aka Taiwan), rapidly steal the South China Sea and blame every other country in the world for the shit china does.
The only good thing at the moment is china trying to be friends with the Taliban. At some stage the arrogant, two faced lying, thieving CCP arseholes will hopefully try military action against Afghanistan and we know what happened to all other "invaders" of that land of disjointed tribes. Due to their arrogance the CCP and their military sock puppets will assume the Afghanis will be a walk over and whoever is leading the country when the body bags start going home will not last and hopefully his family gets a bill for the cost of the "judgement" bullet. Maybe then we can have a bit more of a stable world without the ridiculous blustering of the biggest IP thieves in history (how else did they advance technologically so fast without doing the research & development without stealing other countries & businesses IP).
I had an HP 5L and found out about the kit for the paper feed issue. Filled in the online form and a couple of weeks later received a carton with maybe 20 or 30 of the kits. Told all my IT colleagues about this and jus to be sure to be sure, I filled out another online form and received another carton. Used the last kit in 2009 on a 6L. The worked on the 5L, 6L and the 1100 if memory serves me correct so had many a happy customer after finding out about that.
Worked in a catholic school where login names were First name initial and surname. An exception was made for a your female teacher called Susan Luttleral.
Four or five years later she got married and the naming convention tear in the space time continuum was repaired.
I had a teacher complain that their laptop was taking a long time to start (I think that meant boot) so I took a look and found 44GB of data stored on the desktop in various folders. I showed them how to Cut 'N Paste a folder into the Document library and then right click and sent shortcut to desktop. This way the structure would still look exactly the same and not confuse them. I then had them do the same process 3 times themselves because I didn't have the time to move it all myself. I checked back 6 months later and the 44GB had been replaced by 96GB of data so I am guessing my lesson on moving to the Documents location had fallen on deaf ears.
A couple of months later several staff members were getting their laptops upgraded with new devices and staff were not pleased when I told them they would need to backup their data to and external HDD because we didn't have the necessary storage on the Servers and I wasn't going to copy up to 100GB onto an external HDD via a USB 2 connection.
When I started at that location a company was selling USB HDDs at an excellent so I sent an email to about 150 to 170 staff recommending they purchase this tax deduction for their backups. Of the 150 to 170 staff who received my email only three bothered to purchase the external USB drive. After that those 3 received excellent support from me but the others got just what they needed.
I wonder how long it will be before the Septics try and extradite someone for exceeding the speed limit in their home country because it was faster than that in a similar area in the United States of World.
Funny how a game played professionally in only one country on this planet where the winner can be called World Champions. They really do have an inflated opinion of their own importance eh.
My daughter works for a company that has some fairly extreme but justified security so I made a sign she could put on her door that advised she was in a Zoom meeting so we wouldn't accidently interrupt one of these top secret meetings. It works well and no need to train any potential interlopers.
I would like to know how much the exulted one's company is saving for each recovered first stage. It's absolutely incredible IMO and also "catching" the fairings for reuse again. I read that those things are $5 Million (each or a pair, can't remember) so the saves a little more as well.
Biden & Harris are going to point the USA in a better direction, to the relief of all.
I certainly hope so. The Precident (sic) farts in the Oval Oriface and the stench permeants around the world.
Must be nice to be in/on the ISS and only have to put up with the sewerage or is it an ammonia smell. A rose by any other name.
I wonder how further advanced IT would be today if Dr Turing hadn't been persecuted for what was not a crime with women (thanks to Queen Victoria) and had progressed with his work.
His work during WWII helped save so many lives (and resulting £££) yet he was thrown away when not desperately needed anymore.
The company my daughter works at uses Jira and she wanted a button that would create multiple tickets at once. The Atlassian solution, go find a plug in online. WTF? Why are they are relying on third parties to add features to the multi Billion $$$ business. Instead of having this feature in Jira she went online, found the appropriate plug in, modified for her needs and then couldn't implement it due to her company blocking the Java part of the plug in. If this feature and multiple others were part of Jira then maybe Atlassian could be making Billions of $$$ more than they are at present.
Is this a case of a little company getting too big and becoming an uncaring conglomerate or is it behemoth?
The Server CD David not his name was taking to the site would have been Windows 2000 Server and not NT 4.0 coz it booted off the bloody annoying 3 floppies. Even Windoze 95, 95 OSR2, 98, 98SE, ME (damn, just threw up in my mouth typing that last one) used boot floppies to start unless you were doing an Upgrade.
Actually the run up check is to make sure you don't get excessive RPM drop when you change from right to left. Missed a multi flight one day when there was a 150rpm drop between mags. Max was 50rpm IIRC. You do however do a dead cut check on shutdown to make sure the magnetos are not still live when you pull the mixture to shut the engine down.
No reason to change the wall sockets. You label the existing ones, and explain to the cleaner very clearly which sockets he can use.
If it happens again, you change the cleaner.
And then you play a version of the never ending game of Cleaner Musical Chairs.
It seems a bit hypocritical when Drumpf told Pres Poo Bear that building the camps was a good idea. I don't disagree with the action because china has been very aggressive and I am not happy with them poking their nose into so many countries around the world and then complaining bitterly when they are criticised by other countries openly saying that china has atrocious human rights. I think if people see what the chinese govt are really doing to the Uighurs then there might be a greater backlash against them.
The really strange thing is the Uighurs are Muslim and so far Saudi Arabia sided with china against having the Republic of China (Taiwan) admitted as an observer to a WHO conference. Next Iran is signing a deal with china to supply them with oil but have attached no conditions to treating the Uighurs as actual people. Forced sterilisation of Uighur women makes the chinese govt just as bad if not worse than the Nazi one. Uighur men are removed from the home and a chinese man is moved in to make sure the Uighur women and children do not practise their religion and the men also act as a proxy husband demanding the usual side benefits. I find this abhorrent and shows that the chinese govt does not deserve to be recognised as a civilised society.
To my knowledge no Muslim country has ever spoken out against the treatment of their fellow Muslims. Why is that and why is it left to the rest of the world to take up the Uighur's cause?
It's just not effective because the addresses can be recycled fairly quickly so that you get assigned one after it has become blacklisted.
My ISP or RSP as they are now called here, has assigned me 54,000 Quadrillion IP addresses so I am not running out of numbers (and letters) any time soon if my machine(s) are part of any attack. They would have to block the subnet rather than the IP or range.
I carry a backup, on a 2TB USB drive USB drive, with me when I leave the abode overnight,.........Mine are 2TB (have 2 of them), 3TB, 4TB, and 5TB.
Sounds like you don't deal with regular users. They never listen when told to do regular backups and they don't want to spend $500 on a NAS ($10 per week for 1 year only) because it is soooo expensive for their business turning over $4 Million a year despite me telling them it is very cheap insurance.
Not only will in not run unless you have Windshit 10 but you also need Play Store installed which is not present on Enterprise. Just peachy.
Now if only Microshits would put out a tool to recover drives/partitions from a RAW state. Now that would be useful. (Don't say other apps already do that because I tried 8 or 9 and didn't find one that would find even one file. Some didn't even recognise the partition)
Oh yes, calling to get a prescription renewal is the best thing to come out of COVID-19. It used to shit me to tears getting an appointment every 2 weeks and then wait for up to an hour coz the Doc always ran late. (Starts at 9am and by his second victim would be 15 minutes behind).
Phoning in and picking up the script from reception and no waiting is just wonderful and saves me a lot of time.
Drew Scriver said, My dad (who is old enough to have been on sentry duty on the East German border during the Cuba crisis) is rather computer-challenged.
Linux is not then an option in this case. The GUI is totally different to what he is presently using. It is bad enough trying to find shit when MS used to release a new O/S. A significantly/totally different O/S will just add to the man's stress levels.
If Linux, in all the different flavours, was the answer, then surely they would have a massive market share of the desktop operating system and not just the present fanboi users.
Some idiot Congresscritter announced in his local paper after a trip to a decoding station in Melbourne Oz that Our boys down there (it was Oz male and female decryppies) had broken the Japanese code. Japan changed the code within a couple of days of publication and it took them 3 weeks to break the new code. One of the women involved wondered how many troops were killed because some big mouthed idiot couldn't keep his gob shut.
