The US nuclear weapons force still uses a 1970s-era computer system and 8-inch floppy disks, a government report has revealed. There's a section of the article that describes a floppy disc. I feel old.

Leslie Neilson already posted that article.

 What does Kent do when this happens? Does he just not put it in the Insider News forum and post it in the Daily News anyway?
Thanks,

I'm not sure - I can't remember seeing it before. Sounds like a plan, though.

Let my shame stay. Let people know what I did. Let the hand-waiving begin anew.

When it's posted to the insider forum, he links to the original in the newsletter. (I manage to get something I posted shared once a month or so.  ). IIRC he's occasionally used his powers of admin-edit to inject a blurb or better title in the original post. If the original was posted in the Lounge we just get a dupe here.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That is so ancient news, and I'm not talking about the Leslie. I've known that for years, there was some documentary on that.
Which makes me wonder, how much money did they spend on a government report to tell us what we already knew?

Must've been part of the technology budget.

And does the launch switch look something like this[^]?

It's a secret so don't tell the conspiracy theorists about them.

Quote: "The current state of terms and conditions for digital services is bordering on the absurd," said Finn Myrstad from the Norwegian Consumer Council.
"Their scope, length and complexity mean it is virtually impossible to make good and informed decisions."
As a suggestion, to be an informed consumer, I'd advise simply assuming they say to "bend over and grab your ankles" until an expose is published somewhere proving that - regardless of what is or isn't written in the T&C - by using the service you are doing so.

That means they're smarter than me for reading those, or I'm smarter than them for not reading them. Who knows.

Just because millennials grew up with technology doesn’t mean they’re actually smarter about how they use it. If anything, they appear to be more careless when it comes to online security. Yea, but how many elderly people made a throwaway McDonald's account that one time just to get 5 cents off an apple pie?
