  • Acronyms and expressions -- give us your best!
    H HarCohen18

    I used these two just this morning. I was donating platelets at the Red Cross. After the first bad stick, "In for a penny, in for a pound". When the phlebotomist moved to the second arm, "Measure twice and pierce once". They seemed amused at the time. Others: When in doubt, spell it out. (Yes. I programmed with COBOL) RTFM - Read The F@#king Manual. (When manuals were thin enough to read). Doesn't anyone use SNAFU anymore? Or is this meant to be a more esoteric list?

  • The never ending battle of this "ToDo" thing.

    And adopting a technique of Einstein's, don't fill your head with mundane matters you can always look up. That was his explanation fornotknowing his own phone number.

  • Scientists plan to send greetings to other worlds

    They can start with Giese 710, since it will be in the vicinity of the solar system in a million years.

  • Uber’s self-driving cars are already getting into scrapes on the streets of Pittsburgh
    H HarCohen18

    If a self-driving car can navigate Pittsburgh, Cleveland will be simple. My question is, what happens when a self-driving car runs out of juice on a hill?

  • Yahoo secretly scanned customer emails for US intelligence-sources
    H HarCohen18

    Would that include the accounts badged as ATT.net and administered by Yahoo! (including ameritech.net and so on)? And in that case, were other CEO's consulted as well? Which other firms would be included?

  • Windows phone 10 rant
    H HarCohen18

    And not even that, as Disraeli apparently quoted it from another source. There is research on the origination here: Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics[^] . And as the term statistics came about in the 18th century, who knows how much further back the three part division of liars goes?

  • Windows phone 10 rant
    H HarCohen18

    I thought that was Mark Twain who said that about lies. I gave up when my Nokia 920 melted somewhat in a small house fire. I only lost NFC capability with the $200 Samsung Android I replaced it with. ----------------------------------------------- Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

  • 500 million Yahoo accounts hacked by "state agent" in 2014
    H HarCohen18

    We all know accounts are not users. How many people have abandoned accounts where spam took over? Of more interest to me, AT&T uses Yahoo! as the Internet portal for their Internet and Mobile account holders. Is AT&T allowing Verizon to take over responsibility for its accounts without a qualm?

  • Physicists discover 'apparent departure from the laws of thermodynamics'
    H HarCohen18

    I think the nature of the experiment is to wait until both materials are theoretically at the same temperature. It makes me think someone is trying to prove Maxwell's Demons do exist. But many ore erudite people than I are commenting on phys.org.

  • Microsoft will bet you a new laptop that it can upgrade your (compatible) PC to Windows 10
    H HarCohen18

    My experience to date is that a roughly six year old laptop with Windows 7 gets a green light on their initial test. They attempted the upgrade and the hard drive locks up (too many critical drive errors apparently) while the upgrade thrashes. The store refused to provide the Dell Inspiron 15 the next day due to this pre-existing condition. So I am investing $45 in a new hard drive and they promise to port the files and upgrade to Windows 10 today. I didn't see anything about excluding failures due to pre-existing conditions in the offer, so I will probably take this up with the Microsoft PR people unless all is resolved to my satisfaction today.

    Thank you for the reminder. I am taking advantage of the one year subscription to Office 365 Personal for now and I can debate whether to keep my Office 365 Business account for another year.

  • Linus Torvalds goes on epic rant over Linux devs' comment syntax
    H HarCohen18

    It takes me back to when I wrote in COBOL. Comment blocks preceded paragraphs that awere to be kept to 50 lines or less, comment marks slewed each paragraph to the top of page on hardcopy, and horizontal tabs (HT characters) right-aligned asterisks for the right wall of the box. Given monochromatic and mono-type source editing and printing, a comment box was a useful construction. They were also where your versioning notes were placed.
