"I was not in my uniform, and at no point in my interaction with the staff did I identify myself as a member of the law enforcement community," Sheriff Owens said. "At no point did I indicate my position, nor did I ask the responders to do anything that they would not, had not, or have not done for anyone else who makes a business dispute call."

His excuse seems to be that anyone could have called the police on the Burger King employees for giving someone the wrong order, to which I would say:

  1. Thats still an enormous dick move and

B. Do you think that deputies would have rushed across town to deal with just any random crank, angry at a Burger King?

Id say quite a few Twilight Zone episodes had endings that were better than the mystery. But of course, there were just as many episodes where the opposite was true.

The most important thing to do is backup your data to an external drive. Unless you are planning on dual booting (much more complicated) you will be wiping out the entire drive that has windows on it when you install Linux.

This guide goes through the whole installation process.

You're absolutely right. Everyone will be very worried and talk about the importance of security in the enterprise and yada yada yada until a cool new AI spreadsheet software comes out and everybody forgets to even check if their firewall is turned on.

But with that being said, if you have been looking for a good time to ask for cybersecuity funding at your org, see if you can't lock down 5 years worth of budget while everyone is aware of the risk to their businesses.

I agree. And its a real shame. I also remember seeing Pulaski sitting in the chair next to Picard relatively often where I think of Crusher being in the medical bay far more. That could just be my own memory though.

A full desk-size mouse pad.

If you work at a desktop it makes a huge difference to overall ergonomics.

Also the squatty potty. Especially if you have a high toilet.

I always took it to stand for Racing Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement where people spent a bunch of money on a cheap can just to make it look cool without adding any actual functionality.

God I really hate to see Oracle involved. Everything they touch turns into an IP lawsuit.

If they really loved open source so much they wouldn't have close-sourced ZFS and OpenSolaris in 2010 after they were already open source.

CIQ and Rocky are solid but remember just because Oracle is the enemy of the enemy doesn't make them even close to a friend.
