Thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated.

I have watched a manager with a master's degree in computer science pull this BS. At an enterprise technology company. He would go as far as repeating a question over and over until he got an answer he liked.

The senior members of his team had a culture of eighty hour work weeks. Draw what conclusions you may.

I'm going to piggyback of your comment, since you're commenting on the website itself:

Is there any way to download this podcast for offline listening? I'm looking for podcasts I can listen to while driving without killing my mobile data quota.

Honestly, I could understand that line of thinking if he were talking about ordinary members of the public who are utterly unprepared for a life and death situation. (Not saying I agree with it, just that I understand it.)

But when we're talking about a crew of professionals who literally spend years training to deal with disasters, and who knew exactly what they signed up for when they got in that rocket, I have to squarely side with you. They at least deserved a chance to go down fighting.

Have you ever had someone close to you commit suicide? If so, is that truly a better outcome than undergoing ECT?

If not, then I want you to understand this: ECT is used to treat a lethal illness.

Searching with regexes is more likely to be useful when trolling through log or data files than code.

Even then, the most common cases for me are searching for a string only at the beginning or ending of a line, or only searching for instances that are not part of a larger word.

I was as confused as the other commentators by this post until I realized that fixermark is thinking of analog thermometers with a physical dial, while we (and probably the author as well) are envisioning electronic thermometers with digital displays.

The nation-prefix suggestion could actually be reasonable if Amazon.com Inc. were also limited to its own prefix, say .inc.amazon. I assume that's not what was proposed.

I think they meant that the false votes were all cast from a single computer.

Aha, I missed that piece of the puzzle. Thank you.

Shouldn't preventing this be as easy as turning off autorun? In fact, I thought Windows had that off by default for USB devices.

(Of course, I'm assuming we're not dealing with a zero-day in the USB stack or filesystem drivers. But that probably is something that the Secret Service should be on top of, as well.)
