Re:Eclipse viewing at 30k feet: Delta to offer path-of-totality flight

The best metaphor for totality that I read:
Seeing an eclipse is like flying in an airplane. Seeing it in totality is like jumping out of one.

What happens when everyone on a plane shifts to one side of the plane at once while at full speed?

Except the car was under manual control, and it is unclear what the cause of the accident was.

I have one, and I love it. It's loud, feels great and the dipswitch settings on it make me not have to worry about any software to make it work exactly as I like.
The backlighting on it is also perfect.
I don't DVORAK, but the included keypuller makes it simple to swap keys around if you are so inclined.
Buy one.

At some point, we flee after Joe630 demands "hugs" from us... something he continues throughout the conference. "Touch me not, boy... I will not submit to your fondling," I tell him behind clenched teeth as I back out of the room.
"I'll only hug a man if he's buying me drinks or I'm trying to lift his wallet."
Re:Kevin Mitnick Now Selling Zero-Day Exploits

The market concept is nice for the reasons you listed, but doesn't it add an incentive to introduce obfuscated exploits into code then sell an exploit to them later?

Neal, please release what you have made. We can do something with it, I promise. Go build something bigger than this.

I gave Mr. Adams a 2600 shirt that had been inadvertently printed backwards and he was amused (only a dozen of those existed!). It was after a reading in Charlotte, NC, 20 something years ago. I miss him a lot.
