Posting on Twitter, Osnos said that his three-year-old had entered the wrong passcode on the Apple gadget one too many times. The iPad locked itself and informed him that he could try again to enter the correct passcode in 25-and-a-half million minutes. Or roughly 47 years.

It's lucky he was only three years old.

There's a very good chance he'll outlive the password lock.

Except I have done jury duty once for a DUI.

First, you don't have to do a field sobriety test. Second they are a scam by the cops to make evidence against you when they don't have any.

When I did jury duty, they had a man whom they told to walk 7 paces, turn around, and walk 7 paces back, so he starts, and then the officer said, "I didn't tell you to begin, so that's a fail. Do you want to re-do it?" The guy said, "sure." The cop said, "Begin." The man begins, turns around and comes back right on the line. The cop then arrested the man saying he had given him more chances than he needs and he failed because he didn't wait to listen to the instruction to turn around as if it is some fucking game of simon says. Not to mention, they never gave him ANY instruction that he has to wait to be told to turn around.

At any rate, the prosecutor went on and on, and we watched the video. After the video, I stood up as a juror and said, "I have already decided he isn't guilty and won't change my mind. It takes only one (1) not-guilty, so let's end it here." The judge told me to shut-up only officers of the court can speak up. I told him that I AM an officer of the court. He said, "you haven't even heard the jury instructions." I responded, "I don't need to hear them." The judge then asked, "Is there any reason I should not kick you off the jury?" I responded, "because I am making an informed decision, and if you do, I am going to file a motion in the Court of Common Pleas that I was a jury and discharged from service for not rendering a decision the court agreed with.

The judge dismissed us all telling us not to discuss the case. Then about 10 minutes later, we are told the prosecution dismissed the case.

**snrk** After a couple clients were bought out by Advocate Healthcare, I'm calling the conformity "The Advocate Way."

They do have some nice cabling requirements though. They probably spent 100k installing all-new Cat6 (Cat6a?) in the offices as part of the purchase.

How to Tell If You've Been the Butt of a Tech Joke?

1. you have Windows 10
2.

I would like to add that the OSI is really a 10-Layer model.

Layer-8 is a User error. For example, Sally puts in a ticket because she does not know how to make it print.
Layer-9 is an Organizational error. Sally cannot print because her organization placed a Group Policy not allowing stand-alone printers.
Layer-10 is a Government error. i.e. Sally cannot get to a website because she is behind the Great [Fire]Wall of China and her Government is the problem.

Hm, I've always called them "scrints" rather than pcaps.

Also regular referrals to who's the "mouse driver" when assisting in-person or remotely. "Nope, you're the mouse driver. You do it so I'll know you know how."
