  • Immediately applied, no save button. It was labeled something like "Allow/disable firmware updates" which is bad design. Label should say exactly one thing, either "Allow" or "disable" never "Allow/disable" The software was very antiquated.

  • Ted Kaczynski sent mailbombs to specific people in academic circles who he believed were accelerating fields of technology that was leading to the downfall of human society as he saw it. They received individually crafted bombs addressed to them in an attempt to kill them and dissuade others in the field as part of his campaign of terrorism.

    Timothy McVeigh bombed a federal building with a large truck bomb. His target was federal employees in general, but it was more a 'to whom it may concern' attack that he viewed partly as revenge for the Waco and Ruby Ridge seiges and partly as the opening salvo and catalysing event that would precipitate more civil unrest against the fed and lead to more violence and destabilize the government, chaos in which a violent and racist element would be able to take power and hold territory.

  • No they were ancient ROM based tills, I unchecked a box that was blocking firmware updates from being pushed to the tills. For some reason I still don't completely understand, these tills received their settings by Ethernet, but received their data by dialup fucking modems. When I unchecked the box, it told the tills to cease processing commands until the firmware update was completed. But the firmware update wouldn't happen until I dialled into every single store, one at a time, and sent the firmware down through a 56k modem with horrendous stability, to each till, also one at a time. If one till lost one packet, I had to send it's firmware again.

    I say for 8 hrs watchimg bytes trickle down to the tills while answering calls from frantic wait staff and angry managers.

  • Sugar gliders might look cute, but their ferocity is unmatched, they can burrow into the abdominal cavity of a man in moments, then wreak havoc from within. One bite can deliver enough venom to kill a bull elephant in 15 seconds as was sadly shown at Taronga zoo in 1997
