Amazing that in just one short year we were able to solve all of the worlds problems and point out what is wrong everywhere, with everyone else! In that short time we grew from Zero listeners, to enough subscribers to at least be a fire hazard at a small bar.
Let us know what you like, what you want to hear more of, and above all, let your friends know we exist!
Thanks for listening!

Some rough spots in the audio this week, but Tech doesn’t have time to edit what with driving a few hundred extra miles in addition to the normal thousand.
The podcast also ends abruptly as Tech’s son accidentally gives away the location of the Holy Grail, and we’ve been asked to keep that secret.
The brothers cover “Clock boy” again, and the debate gets heated. They also cover why your cheap gas comes at a high price.
Happy Thanksgiving, spend your time with those you love, or find someone to love!
The brothers were pretty much in agreement on this quick and rare Friday installment. Mali was the scene for some more Islamic terrorism today, and they discuss who and what some.
Paris is planning a rager to follow up a week after the attacks, they will not go quietly into that dark night, but will go blaring a vuvuzela and shining a flashlight, and good on ’em. We’re proud of you for not giving in to fear.
Every shred of unanswered joy that enters this world unchallenged is just one more loss for the terrorists. The terrorists have lost the game.
The brothers were on a tear out of the gate, by the numbers:
Yes #blacklivesmatter, let’s get some more coverage of these outrages in our media!
Tech makes two mistakes, in a rant he said he drives nearly a hundred thousand miles, he meant to say half a hundred thousand miles a year. The other mistake was an article he mentioned, it wasn’t Slate, it was The Atlantic.
Here is a link to that Article What ISIS Wants
So KB:3097877 ruined Tech’s day today. The GOP debated last night and didn’t say anything off the charts stupid, but also didn’t shake up the order.
Links mentioned on today’s show:
Flashing Login screen or Outlook crashing, this saved Tech’s bacon
We should use the TPP as TP. Longer form, it is really anti person/consumer, anti competition.
A decade into a project to digitize U.S. immigration forms, just 1 is online
Nice article from the Washington Post about more ways we’re wasting money.
Gun breaks down some of the allegations of “stolen valor” against GOP candidate Ben Carson. A few days have passed since Anonymous unmasked 1000 KKK members.
Also mentioned on the Podcaste: Superman beat the KKK
We cover the debate, Tech Sully has chest pains just thinking about the GOP field.
Short one this week, technical problems.
All it takes is one $2,700,000,000 blimp with a 2 mile tether cable to illuminate how dumb our military spending is in this country. The audio cuts off right as Tech rolls into a rant about Saudi Arabia beheading more people than ISIS and yet being on the human rights council.

The truth is that the way almost all security holes are found are via 3rd party security researchers. We want the good guys to be the ones finding the bugs, not the nefarious. Imagine a terrorist with the ability to control the brakes on 1.4million vehicles remotely. This would be a bad thing.
In the software world the security researchers get a few things from finding bugs, they often are tied to anti-virus/anti-malware companies. Some vendors offer a bounty for finding bugs. In other words if you hack a system the people that wrote that system pay you money. Other research houses are in colleges and they get fodder for their doctoral thesis or get their name out to the kinds of folks that hire a security researcher.
So Pogue’s “Don’t worry the sky is not falling” tone is a bit misguided. Yes you don’t need to live in fear, but these are potentially DEADLY hacks and need to be taken seriously.
