  1. I drove through Idaho a couple of years ago. They have crazy high speed limits, in my opinion.

  2. The plane started its day in Jamaica. They probably got on there.

  3. The union isn't responsible. That's just an anti-union remark.

  4. Most condominiums are mismanaged.

  5. Microsoft-based systems were definitely "out." CrowdStrike is certainly responsible, but there are contributing factors outside of CrowdStrike, including the design of Windows, which apparently allows automatic updates of kernel code.

  6. Countless people who have been inconvenienced by this are not laughing.

  7. The people decide who gets elected. Any citizen of proper age can get elected. You don't get to set conditions.

  8. Maybe it will turn Florida blue.

  9. I'm a (retired) software engineer and I was not misled. People who are not educated in computer systems don't need to be told the nuances. They just want to know when things will be back to normal.

  10. The notion that Linux is immune to such a problem is likely wishful thinking. Linux is not used as widely as Microsoft Windows.

  11. The plane started its day in Jamaica.

  12. I don't know that Microsoft has no share of the responsibility. When you get a blue screen, the operating system has crashed, thus the operating system (Microsoft software) is vulnerable to something Crowdstrike software did. Without knowing all the low-level details, I would not absolve Microsoft of shared responsibility.

  13. With that system, sometimes people get caught between the gates. You can drive through them to get out, but often drivers are reluctant to do that.

  14. They are called whatever people choose to call them.

  15. He has moved on. This is not his responsibility.

  16. This does not fall within the President's responsibilities. If he did say something, it wouldn't make any difference.

  17. He may not know the details, but he understands what happened. I know because I am a (retired) software engineer and I understand what happened.

  18. Not that bizarre. My local hospital fully computerized the charts only about 12 years ago.

  19. You are suggesting that missing one serious defect after yesrs of delivering trouble-free software implies that they should stop testing their software. That doesn't make any sense. They will study the failure in depth and decide how to make improvements to software quality assurance.

  20. No, they certainly had tested it, but there was a hole in their testing protocol. I have worked in software maintenance, software development, and software testing. Computer systems have become so complex that it is impossible to ensure that they are free of errors. As long as I worked in computers (40 years) there were unforseen holes that led to crashes now and then. You can't test quality into a system, you can only find some of the holes.

  21. It is impossible to know 100% of anything, including the weather.

  22. This is a Miami station. There are many Spanish speakers in south Florida, and I expect the reporters know how to oronounce Spanish names.

  23. I don't think we know whether there is a vulnerability in the Microsoft software which is a contributing factor. My view is that the two companies have shared responsibility, unless proven to me otherwise.

  24. In the USA, when there is traffic in both directions, we don't generally put a gate across the lanes leaving the tracks. That is because sometimes cars get caught between the gates and the drivers get confused, not realizing then can just drive through the gate and had better do so. Some other countries block all lanes coming and going.

  25. Not the first. A lot of computer experts understand this. I'm a retired software engineer, and I have heard explanations I understand from several people all morning.

  26. It’s two flashing red lights and a crossbuck.

  27. It was reduced to ten years by the governor. Premature and perhaps a little too lenient, but more reasonable than a life sentence. He should not be paroled until he accepts responsibility for his negligence.
