Government programs tend to expand beyond their original mission statement. Politicians love that type of mission creep as they can figuratively "give-away-the-store", especially given the situation that they won't be around when it all falls apart. Below is a quickie review of the changes to...

I've had cats that become very affectionate when I'm at the computer typing. They just "love" hanging-out on the keyboard. I have often wondered if a cat, lying on a keyboard, could have ever caused a significant programming catastrophe?:unsure:

Cats make great pets. Some cats are indoor cats and some are outdoor cats. This is an important concern should you live near a major street as they can get run-over. Also, if you live in a rural area they can become the hunted. We lost a couple this way. These factors don't exactly sell the...

Mayorkas spends all of our money importing and taking care of illegal immigrants. Now it appears that there is no money available to take care of people affected by Hurricane Helene and to repair the damage caused by Hurricane Helene. This is a disgrace. Out of curiosity, I took a peek at the...

There are already many people here who could work, but are not. Remove government subsidies and they may well find the incentive to work. The problem is people. People use resources and generate pollution. Technology has made our life better, but too many people believe that waving the magical...

Austerity may be needed. No issue there. (PS: Over time the scope of Social Security has expanded beyond its original intention. Restore Social Security to its original intent.) No, find other austerity type cuts. Other federal handouts can be reduced to "force" people back to work. Don't work...

Consider this. Neither Democrats nor Republicans are offering to reduce government spending. Recently Harris sat down with Stephanie Ruhle and was asked about tax policy. Ruhle at one point asked what would happen if Harris could not get Congressional approval for proposed tax increases...

Democrats (Biden/Harris) sabotaged Trump's work and are now importing illegal immigrants. Democrats (Biden/Harris) are not enforcing the law. They are being lawless. And you want to make a spurious issue of one of Trump's objectives?

He was on his way to fix it, but the Democrats obstructed him from accomplishing that objective. Then Biden/Harris undid all of Trump's work and opened the border to illegal immigration. Biden/Harris have no intention of "fixing" illegal immigration.

An absurd retort. He was fixing it, but he was being obstructed. Then consider that Biden/Harris opened the border. They had no intention of controlling illegal immigration. Biden/Harris have been making no attempt to fix the border.

Fox News (Business) had a long segment on this. The conclusion, no nexus can be made that there actually was "insider trading". The good news is that Fox News was not trying to make "fake" sensational news, which is to be commended. The optics for Pelosi look bad and there is still a...

Legal immigrants? You have to be joking. Biden/Harris are purposely not enforcing immigration laws. They are illegally handing out the documents to anyone to give a false appearance of "legality". That does not make the presence of the Haitians in the US legal. Unfortunately, our legal system is...

Since we are in a backup discussion, I received this headline today by coincidence. I don't know anything about the ZFS file system, but you may find it interesting. https://www.xda-developers.com/zfs-is-great-for-your-nas/

I use a WD Elements 8TB USB drive. I'm tempted to buy a SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO USB 3.2 Solid State Flash Drive, as that would be large enough to hold an image of my hard drive. I'm also contemplating buying an internal Western Digital 10TB drive specifically to backup my files (not the...

Many years ago I developed an MS Access database that served multiple users. As you have experienced, with multiple users performance degraded. That was essentially solved by moving the database (back-end) to SQL Server. Each user still had their own MS Access front-end. Based on your existing...

I've been hit by a couple of slimely sale's tactics. In the days when I was using Windows, I used Quicken and Turbotax, both Intuit products that Intuit bought from another company. For Quicken they offered you a new version for $XX and if you did not like the new version you could return it...
