The local stations have to pay for the radio infrastructure and NPR fees just for NPR to tell them to listen elsewhere isn't really at good of a deal. Last year there was some buzz about getting you cell phones to be enabled to play FM radio. Apparently that got shoved under some carpet. Do techies just seem to prefer audio that takes a lot of extra power to listen too?
I would like to understand the data in more detail. There are different sectors where we have programmers. If you are a Programmer in a Not-for-Profit or Government agency (where I have noticed a higher amount of woman programmers) those areas pay less then working for a high demand tech company (which have more males). However the NFP and government tend to be more stable jobs with better benefits.
Having seen a company's recruiters feeds for different organizations I notice there are a Lot more woman applying for programming jobs in NFP and Government jobs. While tech companies have almost all men.
Well we need to give everything some political twist to it. Otherwise how can we show that we are serious informed adults, unless there is something to rail against.
What about gamers who want real video cards and a real gaming OS? Because Apple certainly has nothing to be smug about on that front. FTFY. Be sure your life priorities are in order.
My last Mac is 10 years old now. MacBook Pro Core 2 Duel. I still use it to watch some stuff on iTunes with it. My Current laptop a ThinkPad is approaching 5 years now. Compared to the new tech, it still is very fast and I have no needs for an upgrade.
Macros are dangerous. The key problem isn't security but the fact it gives non-programmers access to a development platform, where they make their own little programs, they get popular and grow to a point where they are impossible to maintain. Because they were designed my non-programmers there is little to no design to its setup.
Carefully consider the trade offs is more accurate. As with most changed they are new problems that needs to be minimized and benefits to take advantage of. Stories love to use fear. Real life is more boring and more able to plan and control.
When these groups try to do their attacks, they don't realize what other fallout which may be happening. Is that Bank using the same data center of a hospital you don't know. Is the budget system going to affect other systems?
Normally the places with the worst security are not that way due to lack of IT Talent, but because the integration of legacy systems is so connected that it becomes a major undertaking to correct.
1980's Mainframes were expensive computers, most organizations could normally afford one, and they write all kinds of software on them, from managing their billing to controlling the factory. If you remove one component you can cause all others to have the same problem. Trying to fix the infrastructure will cost millions. For organizations that support the public, usually are under tight budget anyways so fixing them is very difficult.
So those hackers who think they don't hurt anyone. You are wrong.
I am waiting for media outlets to give real probabilities, for science. It isn't like we are not use to it. In terms of pulling we see that 5% error rate and understand statistical ties. Just tell us the actual science results and predictions with its error percentages and standard deviations.
In terms of a TV I want good picture quality, good sound, and a lot of port options to plug in the smart devices as I see fit. We had 1080P for over a decade now. and while the 4k are out, still most do not broadcast for it. Over the decade that I had a 1080p tv. I went from VHS/DVD to BlueRay, to Streaming on the Wii to the Wii U (I am not a big gamer) with Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime... And still I will go back to the Older tech to the newer... I don't want a smart TV as I will probably will need to update the whole TV, vs just a smaller device.
I Beta Tested Word Perfect 2000 for Linux, and it really sucked, because unlike the previous version which was a port of a unix version. This was the windows version combined with an early version of Wine, where the code was altered to fix any problems that Wine had at the time. In general it really sucked, it made X11 remote display difficult, it was slow, and buggy even after it went live. The bugs that I did place in it weren't addressed, they were just dismissed as me being too picky. But the screen should be refreshing much faster as a Duel Pentium 200mhz system in 1999 was a rather rocking piece of hardware at the time.
Raising taxes means taxes are raised for their competitors as well. If they just raised the employee salaries and their competitors don't then their competitors can get an advantage over them.
Then there is the crazy aspect of accounting. Where employee salaries are categorized differently than taxes. As well for the Share Holders they show a big booming company for taxes they show a poor nearly bankrupt company.
I am not saying there isn't a problem, it is just very complex, and raising taxes would be easier.
Often our zeal towards such systems will often blind us to the problems. Then you combine nostalgia, with familiarity makes it very easy to ignore problems that are right in your face.
Many of these designs are almost a half century old, while some of them are still really good, others are just showing its age, linking processes to tape based processing of data. Which makes it hard to train because the style of working isn't the same as with modern computing anymore.
"They don't support crap hardware." I find that to be a lame excuse for things not working. It is excusing the problem that BSD doesn't have the markets interest that Linux and Windows has in order for a diverse set of drivers to be made for a wide range of Systems.
Most system with "Crap Hardware" will work perfectly well on other os for years and last well beyond the useful life of the device. Unless you want to build your PC by yourself (something much more difficult if you want a Laptop) you normally need to deal with what the vendor gives you in terms of hardware. Being that most vendors really don't care about making a FreeBSD based Desktop solution you will not find too many that meet this requirement fully, and will undoubtedly cheap out on some particular part so you will feel good at getting such a device below $1,000 vs above. Where on Windows and Linux you wouldn't really notice as it will be detected and works, at least partially. While BSD it will just fail to recognize the device.
I am not basing BSD Systems, I actually love working on them when the hardware works with them. However for Personal Computing they suck, because they have this elitist attitude towards hardware.
One of the biggest advantage of the rj-45 port is the relative ease of making a connection. Having smaller ports means we will need factory built connectors. And need all wires to be presized for all jobs. Making wiring much more difficult.
Besides most small tech that cannot handle the RJ-45 sized ports are built fore wireless networking. Which for most used is fast enough.
This will create a similar situation that we have with education. A child grows up going to school. Goes to college. Become a teacher. Who teaches students who goes to college and becomes a teacher. This creates part of the problem with education where there are still a lot of Victorian values and methods going on, because there is little outside influence in their experience.
Now with Amazon what this will do is match Employees, who work with Amazon values, who will date and possible have children. And portrait such amazon values, in hoping that their kids will go work for amazon. Preventing outside influences allowing changes in the system.
While if you have a team of great developers, that means you are producing a product of higher demand. Thus proving more sales, so you higher more developers to keep the product and add additional products. However even the best team's peak at a particular size. For most products a Software Development team more then 8 developers per product hinders efficiency and quality, as you will need additional managers to manage the people, causing additional conflicts. However if there was a near 100% surge in developers then the cost per employee will go down, as you will not be able to grow your company to meet the customers demand for products higher than a surge of available employees
The biggest problem with IT workers is that they feel that their work and effort is not being recognized, and their pay and benefits are not being proportional to the effort and intelligence put in. Unions will not fix that problem, but hinder it, as the top employee will be treated the same as the lazy and/or inadequate employee. As well Unions tend to have a wider agenda and will expand to beyond just your field, and to a wider scope. When it comes to negotiations they will agree on such things such as laying off the few high salary people in order to get twice as many cheaper employees, as they will bring in more money for dues. Also with a Union shop, you learn to keep your mouth shut for any ideas that may be against the union, otherwise you are in trouble.
I have worked in unioned and non-unioned shops. Unions make sense for blue-collar jobs, because such jobs easily replaceable and are open to abuse towards a persons health and safety. Government/Teaching jobs also does make sense for Unions because of the fickle nature of elected officials who are in charge, who may want to fire a teacher for failing the Football star so he can't win the big game. Or having the son of a member of the house of representative in detention for abusing an other student. White-Collar jobs such as IT have much less health and safety concerns, and it is expensive to replace a good IT worker. Also most companies really fail miserably when they try to outsource, and in time they bring back local workers. Also IT workers can often find jobs in less time then blue collar workers. I was Laid off in 2008, I was able to get an other job rather quickly.
Your analogy is bad. One has science backing up a natural process. The other is a complex legal law made for many interpretations.
Stuff on my Intranet runs faster than stuff on the Internet. So you can expand particular services from the ISP where they are setup on their local network, so you get premium access to such data.
The thing is the ISP are not denying or stopping any access to other systems, you get to used the agreed charges and speed. They just happen to give some content providers better treatment.
The thing is the FBI is asking for the first thing. The smarter approach would be. Take the iPhone apart, take out the SDD, mount it in a standard computer, Copy the data, and have a NSA supercomputer decrypt the data.
I am sure Apple would be far more open towards helping people fix the problem that way. However what they want it a way to patch the OS so they can load an intact iPhone. and see what is in it.

So Sweden is the bad guy for trying to prosecute sexual predators?
Perhaps he should work with a more neutral country as Sweden is known for it stance on taking sides.
