[08:46] schestowitz BTW, I am waiting for you to send me go-ahead to reprint "how to get fired [1-3]" with those bits Microsoft+Medium pressured you to censor. I hope we can maintain a highly-available uncensored version.
[08:46] schestowitz Please let me know ;-)

[09:08] schestowitz Microsoft is actively colluding with the NSA. No software company has been quite as collaborative with the NSA as Microsoft has,e.g. in providing direct Skype access. But this is not the story which the media tends to tell; instead it focuses on companies like Facebook and Google

[09:08] schestowitz Msft offers back doors at the operating systems level,not just the Internet/communications level;NSA as a whole has come to share a bed with Msft and this technology giant, Msft also receives payments for these abuses of privacy e.g.frm the CIA, based on clear disclosures (leaks)

[16:24] schestowitz "Art. 53(c) EPC prohibits the grant of European patents in respect of "methods for treatment of the human or animal body by surgery". The EPO Boards of Appeal recently had the opportunity to clarify the boundaries of this provision in a case involving a patent related to tooth replacement technology. Peter Ling provided highlights of the EPO Boards of Appeals decision."

[21:26] schestowitz I assume more than 20% of USians have had it already. We don't even know the death toll because HHS and others (FDA, CDC etc.) are manned by trump hacks, not scientists.

[21:28] schestowitz The issue was the physical phone. I need to use the ones we have that are not cordless. This set is ageing fast and is causing a bunch of other issues.
[21:28] schestowitz >> No mobile ;-)
[21:28] schestowitz > And, IIRC, no Raspberry Pi. Would you be able to find someone to solder

[21:28] schestowitz Maybe an idea for something to learn over xmas.

[21:30] schestowitz Seems like a CSS out-of-date issue. Can you flush out the existing CSS? Or go directly to its URL, press CTRL+F5 (IIRC for Firefox).?

[21:30] schestowitz I saw the same layout before I forced the CSS to be flushed out.

[21:34] schestowitz Dude there is no root access on Windows.
[21:34] schestowitz Ha! You dont have root, as such - but Microsoft does. They can do anything on your machine, while you cannot.
