@kevinthrasher @GovernorVA @Apple @Google Thanks. Assuming a lot of these apps use the same back end there is more hope they could be useful. Still no excuse for a public entity to not publish source code.

[Phil Benchoff, N3PB @n3pb]

@virginia_tech Do you have a link to the source code repo? It would help make the app less suspect. Also, consider publishing on F-Droid for Android users.

[Phil Benchoff, N3PB @n3pb]

@CarissaHolohan @science_dot @hpcprogrammer That is accurate and still true.

@balister Honorable mention: make the owners think it has been moved using SDR.

I have a teenager's sense of humor, so one of my favorite First Amendment cases to teach is Yeagle v. Collegiate Times, in which Virginia Tech's student paper identified a university staffer as the “Director of Butt Licking" -- and the staffer sued for libel.

I am having very confusing conversations every day where one person is talking about SLAAC and the other is talking about Slack. #ipv6

If you rename 'master' to 'uphill' and 'origin' to 'shit' you can legitimately `git push shit uphill`.

@wesgeorge I have long been a Lagavulin guy, but I have just tried the Uigeadial and I like it. The Ardbeg An Oa and Corryvreckan are pretty nice too.

Wow @SlackHQ profoundly stupid IRC decision. Three of six slacks I’m on are leaving your platform. Two are paid accounts. Really disappointed as one of your customers and supporters. You should rethink.

@crimsonruari I'm always amused by the random additions of not-illegal things. Eighteen grams of meth and four cans of haggis found at the scene.....

Radia Perlman told the perfect story about how engineers come up with solutions before understanding the problem:

"When my son was 3, he came to me crying 'my hand! my hand!'

I started kissing it. *mwah* *mwah* *mwah* 'Tell me what happened...'

'I got pee on it.'"
