If the context is that they're worried people freaking out tomorrow could pose a threat, rather than the myth itself, yeah, I can see that.

People do crazy stuff when they believe in crazy stuff.

QFTW

The threat came from the crazies that believe this crap.

Clich?'s have to start somewhere! :p

Man, I thought it was just a cliche that people in the UK haven't had an original thought in 200 years, but now I'm starting to think it's the truth!

/Why don't you be even MORE original and start talking about language, next! And then I can make fun of your food! And then you can call us savages! And then I can laugh at your failed empire! And we can just replay the same tired crap Americans and Brits have said back and forth at each other since the 1700s because everyone just can't make it through the day without feeling superior to a whole class of people.

So you're an anarchist, then.

Note: I'm not going to INFER some alternate meaning from what you said. I'm going to take your words literally, so take responsibility for what you say. If you're going to say people should just tolerate danger, you're saying all efforts of law, order, and civil society are just humanity's cowardice. Ergo, anarchist.

D'aaaawww.. Look folks. Someone hasn't had a hug today!

Let's all give him a hug, 'kay? Maybe he'll feel better after!

**HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG**

I like hugs, unless you're fat.

I don't wanna smell like bangers and mash.

FYI, my post was just a parody of a post that came before it. I put very little effort into it, but if you want to pretend I was somehow exuding some childish American rage so you can, in our continued game of cliches, feel like the English Grown-up, feel free. I don't get this bizarre need to feel superior at a cultural level, but it sustains you folk, and I don't want to rock the boat or anything.

    • My external monitor suddenly isn't working and found out on my device manager that AMD radeon graphics has a "code 43"

      According to Microsoft, Cause: One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/error-codes-in-device-manager-in-windows-524e9e89-4dee-8883-0afa-6bca0456324e

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
