At 64, i do not mind pulling rank. Owning100 types of bit, understanding the difference between a screw and a bolt, and running into different configurations weekly, I can say that Phillips has won because of superiority. It, and is relatives have one weakness and that is stripping from power screwdrivers.

Let’s be real. No one remembers complicated passwords. They are always written down. The real danger is someone finding the pad of paper. Most theft is not from hackers but from employees, family and friends.

The shopping links on that page go nowhere and the real prices are three times higher than in the article. (and half again as much as Costco or Sam's Club)

Had a buddy, now deceased, who was a marksman for the marines. He said that once he learned how to shoot, the challenge was concentration, not skill.

The hoopla was because Windows 3.1 (and before) was created with technology stolen from IBM. Microsoft was paying IBM all its OS profits. To stop that they created an OS that had nothing to do with 3.1 and then had to get everyone to accept it and stop buying 3.1.

That era of computers reminds me of a Douglas Adams quote about the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.  "it is very easyto be blinded to the essential uselessness of them by thesense of achievement you get from getting them to work at all.In other words – and this is the rock-solid principle on which the wholeof the Corporation's Galaxywide success is founded – their fundamentaldesign flaws are completely hidden by their superficial design flaws."

Yeah, that's right. All your online problems are solved by changing your Internet technology.
That was sarcasm. Most of the problems pictured will be caused by poor source material or a bad computer.

Many libraries have such hidden Easter Eggs. The University of Minnesota publishes a very prestigious journal. When one goes to the stacks to read back issues, one finds Playboy Magazine in its stead.
