I mean it's a joke, but to have the FAA close air space for 10 nautical miles over El Paso for security reasons... makes me put on my aluminum foil hat.

Scammer: “This is Tom from Microsoft Support. We’re seeing virus activity from your device.”
Me: “Oh no.”
Scammer: “Yes, Madam. We can fix it. Are you in front of it?”
Me: “Yes. I was just about to use it.”
Scammer: “Good. Press the Start button.”
Me: “Okay… I think it’s already on.”
Scammer: “Now open Control Panel.”
Me: “I don’t see that.”
Scammer: “Do you see information above Start?”
Me: “Yes.”
Scammer: “That is Control Panel.”
Me: “Wow. Didn’t know that.”
Scammer: “Now restart the device... By turning it off”
Me: “Okay.”
Scammer: “Is it off?”
Me: “No. The door popped open.”
Scammer: “Door? Does it have a CD or DVD drive?”
Me: “No. Just a burrito.”
Scammer: “Why would there be a burrito in your computer?”
Me: “Computer? I thought you said this was microwave support.”

True Story

At work have an OSPF link between two datacenters and, since we are not connecting any other areas for this link (it's its own VRF), we skipped Area 0 (backbone needed for connecting areas) and configured it as Area 0.0.0.51, which is Area 51. Fully standards-compliant, nice adjacency, neighbor state full.... On paper this is a model government partner: stable, cooperative, and exchanging LSAs like a good neighbor. And yet, occasionally traffic seems to “disappear,” at which point each side confidently points at the other. Now we just say, “It must have crossed Area 51.” We assume the packets are peering with the government or negotiating subspace transit clearance. We are currently reviewing firewall coordination while wearing appropriately rated tin foil hats. Completely valid configuration, mildly conspiratorial execution.

We used Microbees back in the day, an Australian PC great units. It was the first system I learnt computer graphics on using plotting.

I never had computer lab at my high school in the mid-70's. But later on I took a couple of 1 day and 1 week classes on Windows products and I remember the PCs all being set up like this with maybe one chair space between them.

The hardest thing for me to learn was how to use the mouse instead of the keyboard....... I hate those things and many of them were broken into tiny pieces from me throwing them at the wall.... lol I don't mind using a mouse now but I still know and use quite a few keyboard commands.

Q: Why don't phisher's use protection?
A: Because they just want a one-night spoof, not a full authenticated relationship!

Just curious about the reactions of the cohort to this ad, which I have a love/hate reaction to:

I find the setup quite amusing on the whole, and as a former COBOL programmmer, know only too well how ancient the language is and how skilled COBOL programmmers are now worth their weight in gold where they're needed, but they are NEVER needed for robotics!

Man goes in for his annual physical and the doctor asks him about his daily routine.

The man says, "Well, Doc., just yesterday afternoon, I musta walked at least 5 miles. I waded up to my knees in a pond, drank a couple beers, outran a pack of wild geese in the underbrush, drank another beer, took a long, leisurely piss behind a tree and just stepped out of the way of an aggressive rattlesnake I almost did not see. Um, I drank another beer, fell on my belly and had to crawl out of muck where I stood in a patch of poison ivy, drank another beer, climbed up and down about 5 steep hills, and took another leak behind a tree.

The doctor, listening to all of this, was quite impressed: "Man, you must be a great outdoorsman!"

"Nah, Doc. I'm just a poor golfer."
