I’m honestly surprised it’s taken them this long. They bought Waze in 2013. I feel like Waze has been doing this kind of ad for at least that long.

The group used “sophisticated computer scripts” and software to scour piracy services… for illegal copies of TV episodes, which they then downloaded and hosted on Jetflicks’ servers.

So they used some variant of Sick Beard?

I made SO many self-extracting archives back in the day. My friends just couldn’t be bothered to use 7zip.

Show us the hands! Willie, in the public domain, doesn’t wear gloves. Mickey, still Disney IP, does wear gloves.

I moved to LMDE 6 when it came out, moving over from regular Mint. It’s so nice and boring… Which is exactly how I like my computer to be.

My wife does daily to plug into our car. When she recently got a phone without a jack, I bought her a dongle for charging and audio.

There’s an exhibitor at my state fair who specializes in hard to find movies/episodes. He’s got a DVD of it than I’m sure is on the level.

As long as shrink stays below what they save by removing cashiers they will stay. It may be location specific removals at high shrink stores.

This is one of the best things I’ve seen. Have some worthless internet points!

Renaming it to “winword.exe” was my go-to.

Take a look at this post. It covers some names and stories about contributions that make modern interfaces what they are today.

Xerox did so much for modern computing. If only people knew.

We’ve got an elevator at work that is… less than reliable. To reset the elevator is a giant breaker BUT sometimes it’s not the mechanics in the elevator but the control board. To reset that board is just a GFI. Also the lights in the elevator are a different light switch in the same closet.

Stallman prefers to refer to it as Coffee + Creamer.

Give Linux Mint Debian Edition a look!
