Re: Disposable income
If your place of work has
a) terrible bog rolls
b) the type of holder that holds two rolls side-by-side
... bring a roll of high-quality TP and your labelmaker.
Replace one of the terrible rolls with the premium one.
Stick a label saying "Management ONLY" above the good roll.
Sneak back to your desk and wait.
Guess who reserved their seat on the first Moon flight? My mum, that's who
Loose tongues and oily seamen: Lost in machine translation yet again
BOFH: On a sunny day like this one, the concrete dries so much more quickly
Re: concrete curing
This. Concrete doesn't need any heat to harden, the hardening is an exothermic reaction in itself.
Letting the surface dry out too soon will result in a visible piss-poor quality - which might prompt an auditor (yes, they occasionally roam building sites as well) to take a closer look. And you don't want that.
Re: Informal poll on whether you've ever had to do something like this
OR Question 2 : how could the opponent have wiped clean a number of floppies - shove them in the microwave? Place a dynamo magnet on top of the pile?
Or did they just hand over a stack of unused, blank floppies with the right labels slapped on?
ALIS through the looking glass: F-35 fighter jet's slurpware nearly made buyers pull out – report
So, you spend a shitload of money on a plane that may or may be not the bee's knees.
And then you spend another half-shitload of money on something that
1. could probably be done cheaper and more efficiently by a couple dozen of seasoned NCOs with phones, faxmachines and microfiches
2. may or may not have an "remote off-switch" feature
3. when hacked (no, not "if") will tell your adversaries precisely what missions are planned when and where, state of readiness, full system capabilities, performance, what have you
That it?

Re: !@#$Fsg34=#5^GSHJ+ASdgAE$_wfaewgefH
"Just sent a load of old hash irregularly thru any of your usual messaging apps, make it look like some encrypted messaging - it'll drive them nuts, provided they suspect you of something of course."
Of course they'll suspect you of something if you seem to be using encryption.
Why would you do that in the first place unless you're a Bad GuyTM who has something to fear because he has something to hide, hmm?

How an augmented reality tourist guide tried to break my balls
"Normally, Mme Le Dabbs and I turn down the offer of audio guides at tourist sites because they always go wonky on us – crackle, cut out, play the wrong track, lose battery power, expire completely and so on."
Always, always, always. If there is any tech worse than IoT crap it is this. Ah, well.
My regards to Mme Le D, and have a nice weekend, everybody!

Re: lowest bidder quote
Usually attributed to John Glenn, but according to Gene Kranz (in his book 'Failure Is Not An Option') actually Alan Shepard. Both good.

Don't mean to alarm you – but NASA is about to pummel the planet with huge frikkin' space laser
Self-driving cars will be safe, we're testing them in a massive AI Sim
I think we are missing the key point of all this. In effect, they want to create a whole electronically synthesized simulation of 32km of Oxfordshire roads in one of their offices so they can go and research autonomous vehicles during the day and still go to parties in the evening. Yeah, bloody clever, of course, but it’s got nothing to do with the real Oxfordshire has it? Nothing to do with life.
