@GeneralMCNews What about all the red-blooded Americans who want those jobs?

He's surely not going to let undocumented immigrants keep jobs from "true" Americans, is he?

@brianmcc Done.
Thanks for a fun podcast. I discovered it when you were on @TWiT recently.

@brianmcc listening to the Rad History episode about answering machines reminded me of an outgoing message I had once. It went like this, in a dopey sounding voice: 1/2

@TheCinesthetic I haven't seen Ender's Game, but the twist in the book is epic.

Thoma Bravo did buy Entrust in 2009 and sold it in 2013, presumably at a healthy profit, to Datacard Group.
Datacard Group later rebranded as "Entrust Datcard" and then just "Entrust".
So the Entrust we know today is not owned by private equity, and certainly not by Thoma Bravo.

[Andrew Cooper @drewjcooper]

@SGgrc @leolaporte listening to SN981, you both refer to Entrust being owned by a private equity firm as explanation for its poor behaviour. This is not correct, and your comments are not fair to Thoma Bravo, the private equity firm in question.

@shanselman @markrussinovich Heck no!

@sanshugoel @davidfowl That's a static typing vs dynamic typing thing. Nothing to do with Microsoft ecosystem. You'd have the same issue in Java.

"Now, if we measure bits on the disk as blades of grass, the track width would be 4.6 blades of grass wide and the bit length would be one blade of grass."
