- OneLogin, which gives access to dozens of sites and apps has lost all U.S. customer data to malicious hackers. Gave the hackers access to the encryption, too. But it’s okay. All you have to do is register and log into their special support page to find out what you should do next. (To their credit, they were very prompt and open in notifying their corporate customers.)

Yougly airplanes? Ever seen a Ford Tri-Motor? 🙂
Hunters (and gardeners) are the only do-it-yourselfers for their food. All others hire somebody else to do the killing for them. Nuthin’ like being divorced from life’s little realities.

Yes, I do know it’s satire. 🙂 But it’s still getting harder and harder to tell fake cultural insanity from real cultural insanity.

Add ranching, fishing, and gathering.
“nicknamed the Roc” Presumably because Spruce Goose was taken?
That’s the most leisurely constructing and testing period I’ve heard of lately. Makes me wonder if there’s a “real” business plan under the one about launching satellites. Or maybe it’s just a rich guy’s folly.
“Wow.That airplane is both ugly and beautiful at the same time. ”
It would make Howard Hughes proud!

First time in months, I was at The Onion, briefly, re something else, then scrolled down to this: http://bit.ly/ParisAccordRejectionAnnounced. My quick look at the picture had me thinking “that looks about right,” as I’d forgotten for a moment what site I was at.
Ranching and fishing sorta go with hunting. Gathering is just a lazy way of gardening. 🙂
Yeah, that plane is fugly, but interesting. Unfortunately, it is not a new idea. According to the Vintage Space YouTube video, it was considered as a carrier for the Space Shuttle but rejected so as to use a 747 modified for it.

Ancient-history-wise there’s a huge difference between hunting/gathering, and ranching/farming. Hunting and gathering take enormously more energy, and require a nomadic existence following the crops and the herds. That limits possessions to what you can carry over the horizon. And without food storage it sucks during winter/dry season/etc.
Ranching and farming require staying put, thus they lead to building structures, keeping records, accumulation of property, sophisticated mathematics, and other precursors of civilization.

I believe the progressives, as evidenced again by their reaction to the hunter’s death, are no different than any other totalitarian group regarding their opinion of others. If they ever get control, like Communists or Fascists, they will start slaughtering people.
Some time ago a friend told me she had stayed at the Hotel California; she told me with great pleasure it was the hotel in the song. The lawsuit appears to be about whether the hotel is falsely claiming an association with the song and the Eagles and making money off of it. It doesn’t appear to be about using the name Hotel California.
FWIW, after my friend told me that I nosed around and discovered the hotel pictured on the album cover happened to be the Beverly Hills Hotel. http://www.goldminemag.com/articles/welcome-to-the-album-ar-of-hotel-california I verified it at the time but now that hotel looks quite different.
Ayn Rand would heartily agree with the last item on “12 Keys to a great self-relationship.”
I’ve read an archaeologist claim that three to four hours per day was adequate for their subsistence n the hunter-gatherer world.
In south Brewster County, Texas, goat-ranching could be called hunting: Trying to find the damned critters somewhere in umpteen thousand acres. 😀
