He IS an engineer, he is not practicing in the state of Oregon. Practicing is the part that requires registration, so this falls somewhere between a quick cash grab and wanting to shut him up.
You mean committing fraud? AT&T has been offered and accepted deal after deal granting them special tax breaks, subsidies,. and some big fat checks, not to mention right of way over other people's property in exchange for not cherry picking the rich neighborhoods. Time for them to pay up.
I have also seen a system that actually does deplete oxygen from the inspired air. It contains a CO2 scrubber and a mixer valve to blend the oxygen depleted exhalation with fresh air.
Route problems seem to totally befuddle them. I had a terrible time getting them to fix it when they were black holing the entire 6to4 address space for outbound packets.
Nothing is so secure that a complete idiot can't screw it up and render it insecure (consider, fort Knox but someone stands the guards down and leaves the doors and vaults open).
When we say Linux is more secure, what we mean is that a reasonably competent person has a better chance of coming up with a reasonably secure Linux machine than they do using another OS.
It's a tough question tyhough. I can't say I support BrickerBot, but at the same time, how would you feel if your website (or just one you really want to browse) is down and unlikely to return because of a bunch of internet enabled paper clips?
It's not the same. The price in Beverly Hills is the same no matter who you are. Everyone sees the same price. The coupons are available to everyone and offer the same discount to everyone. The sale is marked for all to see.
Imagine if there was no point at all in getting advice from a friend, acquaintance, or coworker about where the find the best price on X because the price will be different for you anyway. Also no point in shopping for the best price because by the time you've checked prices at 3 or 4 places, they will all be different when you click to buy.
More like they're looking hard to find a way to slam the invisible hand in a piano. The result is a less healthy market and inability to properly do price comparison.
Why would I need to ping my neighbors to decide if my internet connection is working? I was saying when you call Comcast and report your connection is down, rather than instating on sending someone to your home between the months of June and July, THEY should try to other modems near you first to see if it's more likely a line problem.
Comcast knows the MAC of every modem connected to their system and the associated account and service address. They HAVE to. So it's a simple matter of a database lookup. The customer doesn't get to control anything on the cable side of the modem so they can't block the ping (Which I believe is more akin to arping anyway).
So they know your address and they know the MAC addresses of the other modems on the same cable segment. Where's the problem?
First and foremost, when a customer says they're down, try to ping other modems in the same neighborhood. If those are down too, roll a line truck. Do not claim it must be a problem at their house.
Re-emphasize in training, if any light other than network activity is flashing on the modem, it is not a problem with their computer, don't try to sell them on paid Windows support, especially when they say they don't have Windows.
If the customer is using words you are unfamiliar with such as traceroute or ping, just elevate the call to someone who understands the problem.
This is a YMMV situation. Systemd seems to work OK these days as long as you aren't doing anything unusual. If you are, it can be damned near impossible to get it to do the right thing.
The ability to replace a module with an identical module is not actually modularity. What If I don't want to touch dbus with a 10 foot pole? How about if I want SysV in charge but call systemd for a set of subsystems? SysV is modular enough to deal with that, is systemd?
The scripts aren't generally anything like complex in SysV. They're mostly all the same, and so quite easy to quickly understand.
Systemd doesn't understand imperitives. Sometimes I want the system to just shut up and run the command I say. I don't want to be second guessed.
Systemd is easy to use so long as you happen to want exactly what it wants to do. If you want anything else, it is somewhere between much harder than SysV and impossible.
Have you ever tried to get systemd to mount a btrfs root filesystem in degraded mode? Good luck with that!
Check out Xpra. It's like screen for X. You can attach and detach as desired including recovery from a lost connection. It looks a lot like regular old X forwarding otherwise.

You mean in addition to all of the special tax breaks, right of way, and subsidies they have already been given?

They actually make special masks that simulate the higher altitude for training.

Any actual capitalist necessarily wants a healthy market. A healthy market requires price transparency. Without that, the whole system fails badly.

You're not making any sense. Try later after you sleep Saturday night off.
Even if there is disagreement, the bug/not-a-bug decision is in part made based on attitude (see NIH), and is reflected in the code.
Because it IS a bug, but by stamping it not-a-bug, it remains in the source.
In Linux, that's called ALSA.
Oddly enough, yes in a sense. Every refusal to acknowledge a shortcoming, every NIH, every not-a-bug is reflected in the source.
It absolutely positively will not mount btrfs in degraded mode. It drops to the emergency shell.
Same deal for RAID.

Because even though they shouldn't be stigmatized, they are by some people in some places.
