Yeah, with a movie like that in his credits, it seems a miracle he was ever selected to be James Bond. His radar for picking great movies was equally bad as it was good.

I kid you not, there was a movie with Sean Connery called "Medicine Man" (1992) with this exact same theme. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104839/?ref_=fn_t_1 In it, Connery finds what looks to be a rare

Love the Register, but ... everyone has sort of known this for the past 10+ years if they've relied on GitHub with any sort of velocity.

Can we stop calling it a "protest" and call it what it is: a revolutionary uprising. Labeling it a "protest" is equating it to what a bunch of clustered people holding stupid billboards and yelling into microphones. Thi

Absolutely. My wife is Japanese, and they still teach "home economics" there (and no, it's not sexist .. both boys and girls have to attend classes). They learn the following, basically life skills: * proper nutritional eati

That is awesome Ontario is doing that. it will make a difference. I agree that most of us get out of high school clueless, both because of age/maturity but also because schools are not teaching people HOW to think, they're teachin

We need to stop thinking like this for sure. Good advice is good advice, regardless of where it comes from. The key lesson kids need to learn is to avoid debt and live within their means. Now-a-days every business has decided there is more

> I suspect ignorance is desired. Financially illiterate people are more profitable. Spot on, my friend. This is the only conclusion I've come to after watching my kids go through the school system.

What kids really need is a mandatory personal finance class at the High School level. This would teach them how to handle money, debt, spending, budgeting and general financial health. Nothing would help the next generation more, even above

This stuff is starting to feel closer to Snow Crash than I'm comfortable with, when I saw that QR code I wondered if my brain was being altered :-D Amazing work.

In the TV show Barry, this is what NoHo Hank was doing. I thought it was sort of a joke, but guess not.

While we're at it, I think it should be illegal for prosecutors -- or defense attorneys -- to lie or use hypotheticals they know are not true just to spread doubt. Law should be argued on facts, conviction and conjecture. Example: if I

Worked at a large global financial company 10 years ago in tech. It was well known that the bonus pool was finite per division, but it was also allocated on ratios based on performance reviews and retention. Everyone knew the more people, t

Nothing made me feel older than going to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA and seeing a Palm Pilot in the display case. It should be illegal to show things which were an integral part of your life, a short 30'ish years a

The article focuses a lot on GE, however from my experience now most of the appliances are Bosh or LG from Korea. On the LG side, I feel like the quality has really gone downhill over the years. I had a GE washer which gave me 13 years of l

Somehow I had no idea that there was a commercial SaaS version of Netbox, as I've been using the OSS version for years hosted internally. Feedback: the pricing is completely whacked, IMHO. I got excited that I could move to someone els

One of the baffling things to me is lack of price transparency and incentives for consumers to make value based choices. Example: I just got some medication I take daily forever. Insurance will only allow it to be distributed at 90 days (qt
