This Week's Quote: "Bathtub falls and police officers kill more Americans than terrorism, yet we've been asked to sacrifice our most sacred rights for fear of falling victim to it." —Edward Snowden

The lovely thing about the design of modern networks is you can layer as many levels of as many kinds of protections as you care to spend the money to provide the computing power to support.

Netflix has obsoleted all previous content sources because they've started producing their own content.

Interesting aside, there really are WWII-era bunkers under Sydney, Australia.  Interestingly, the bunkers are in a system of tunnels that were abandoned before that, but had originally been dug as part of a planned water system that was never completed.

I say Battlefield Earth twice in theaters, and I bought the DVD as well.  I tend to like really bad scifi films.  (One of the most fun movies I've ever seen was Space Truckers, which involves square pigs, mad scientists, space pirates, assassination, and guys just trying to make a living hauling cargo.)

It's almost impossible for a band to make less money than they will if they sign with a major label.  The standard deal is the label gets all the rights, and the band gets 3% off the bottom, meaning all the expenses have to be paid out of that 3% before they get any money.

I would say Tf00t makes almost no GG videos.

Here in Ontario, Canada, many years ago the provincial government decided to save money (and incidentally avoid being accused of gerrymandering) by just using the Federal riding boundaries.  We still tend to not have Federal and Provincial elections go the same way unexpectedly frequently.

IIRC, the term itself comes from Reginald Gerry, governor of the state where it happened at the time, and Salamander, what people said the suspect district looked like.

As far as I can remember, Thunderf00t always claimed that he was not adding his feminism videos to the patreon feed, which I always understood meant that he was not paid for them via Patreon. So the claim that he makes money off of any of those controversies is wrong.

Don't insult the 3 stooges! They were (6) great guys!

There's the most well known three in Larry, Curly, and Moe but there was also Shemp (who was one of the original three), then there was Joe Besser and Joe "Curly Joe" DeRita.

ah, I see. Thanks!

Yeah, Moe Howard had this idea that you didn't actually need any of the originals to have the 3 stooges, you could just keep replacing them. Joe DeRita tried to keep it going by hiring replacements for Moe and Larry, but it never worked out.
