Apparently our government no longer trusts Kaspersky Labs

Really kind of funny that it took until now? In the link, GSA's can still use them. That's what I've been saying is we are doing cyber business with Russia and have been all along.

And now people want to freak out? Way late.

Errrr... the sign lightheartedly points out the importance of having an editor check over your work for errors.

The line "They make us look smart" just seems silly to me. I didn't even notice the other cross outs and issues.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo,...


Off topic, but...

There was some woman (forgot her name) who worked as (I think) a nurse. In Germany. In the '40's. This woman kept a tally of names and assisted in sneaking kids out of the camps, with hopes to get them reunited after the s#$% went down. It is estimated that she helped rescue some 2,500 kids from the camps, though obviously not many of the reunions were ever possible. Still... that's quite the CV when it comes to humanitarianism.

She was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She lost to Algore, because he showed a slide show.

Seems like the Nobel today is in the same category as a degree from Phoenix.
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.
