As a troublemaker born into a family of educators, I declare that you are full of shit.
In this land, parents try and get away with doing as little work as possible. Spineless administrators (the PHB's of academia) roll over to every little threat of a lawsuit because innocent little Johnny, always texting his buddies mid-class and distracting everybody else, needs his cell phone tethered to him at all times in case of a terrorist attack.
Is it the educator's fault that you and your kids are pieces of shit? Don't have kids then, asshole.
Let's shoutout to all the females in space too, shall we? Interstellar travel would be no fun if it were a sausage party. From the Wikipedia article about the famous phrase:
Five years later after the release of The Wrath of Khan, a slightly altered version of the introduction was included in the title sequence of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The new version replaced...the word "man" with the gender- and species-neutral "one". The new introduction, narrated by Patrick Stewart (who played the Enterprise-D's captain, Jean-Luc Picard), at the beginning of every episode of that series, was:
Space... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.
Though I wish the females' TOS uniforms were still en vogue.;)
Besides you being an obvious Apple fanboy, I read your other comment above about reviews.
So-called "Reviews" are nothing but ads, and have been for many years now. The only trustworthy source of reviews, Consumer Reports, threw Apple under the bus just as Apple have thrown their fall-guy under the bus.
Windows 7 is not the point, all it takes is one really shitty product, like Vista, to turn people off for good when they're straddling the fence and considering alternatives*.
That's like (hypothetically) touting the iPhone 5 even after half of Apple users replaced their iPhone 4's with 'Droid phones and never looked back.
* You could try to make the case that people still used Windows after WinMe, but Mac and Linux were not serious competitors for home-use marketshare back in the WinMe days.
Exactly. To access classified information one must have the appropriate clearance and the need-to-know.
I had a SECRET clearance. All I know could not be used to cause damage because of the many levels of inspections that would have detected sabotage before the birds left the ground.
My buddy did a TDY(temporary duty assignment) as a translator at the pentagon, and he told me that the classified information was so banal that even ordinary pictures of Osama Bin Laden were SECRET.
Ugh. Dave and Buster's. Too many fluff games with too little actual gameplay. Gotta find something in that madness...
Ah! Multiplayer trivia! Alright! Oh, wait, half the questions are pop-culture questions and many of them repeat in 2 or 3 iterations. Speaks volumes about the intelligence and attention span of their clientele.
Sage advice: go stoned, really stoned, and pound long-island iced teas until it becomes fun.
Gangstalking and vigilantism are one and the same (or opposite sides of the same coin). MMA is how they satisfy their anticipation and prepare for inter-tribal violence. H.O.A.'s are the tribes. Example:
[ Brutish, steroid-addled fuckface walks up to me as I read a book and walk down the sidewalk ]
Hey, how are you doing? - Um, good, you?
What are you doing here? - I'm walking to the bus-stop down the street.
Where are you from? - University dormitories.
Where are you going? - A humanist meeting at the local coffee shop.
Is that one of those terrorist religions? I don't like your haircut, you lowerin' my property values, you ain't welcome any more. You're a kook. Look at you, with your glasses and your lit-er-a-ture. We'll be watchin' you!
I think that it has less to do with governments and more to do with the paranoid, tribalist mentality that the so-called "civillized" world is regressing into.
H.O.A.'s, for example. Vigilante partols. "Concerned Citizens". Gang-stalking. Surges in the popularity of MMA.
The role of the government in this case is to turn half the population against the other half to distract them from the fact that they are robbing the population blind.
But the waveform itself is only one part of the picture(if you don't know whether a convincing logic 1 in the waveform is supposed to be a logic 0, that's why I mentioned BER capability. Those features are invaluable for computer and communications engineers.
Oh, shit. I just read the summary. 2-grand budget. Guess submitter could just grab a couple of Mexicans from Home Depot and give them a steel cable plugged into into a high-voltage residential transformer modulated by the original signal.
* On the Windows-based models, there are cool animations where the mode name boxes go "whoosh" out of the screen when you select a new mode. And with one mainframe, you can simply buy which modules you need for your measurement needs.
** What? When the fuck did Tektronix acquire Synthesys?!
Well, if submitter learned Java then it would be trivial for them to learn C# as well.
And I've seen a hell of a lot of shops(big technology companies) running a hell of a lot of VB code, and recently porting all that code to C#. The point is not the Linux zealot's negative perception of all things Microsoft, the point is what's out there (and, by extension, what's gonna make you money). My current shop is now porting all of their VB applications to C#, and my previous shop also ported their apps to C#.
Of course, you do have your major idiots like a prior high-tech employer that used Excel as a database, and the technicians had to manually add rows as the test data would accumulate.
I have never read an introductory O'Reilly or "...for Dummies" book that was better than the multitude of online tutorials out there. Introductory books are, in my opinion, wastes of money.
No books necessary, just hit the net for more control over finding something that caters to your skill level. One dosen't have to go to Sourceforge to find snippets and application code.
I am upset about this because Verizon should not have any way to get into my router and change the settings, especially because I own the router, not them!
You own the router they pwn the router amirite? Lolz!
That's actually the modus operandi of all the 3-letter agencies and military intelligence overseas:
Instead of doing any real detective work, just throw tons of money at snitches.
Think about that when you're unemployed and feeding your family ramen noodles while lying crooks and scumbags get fifty grand a year to spin tall tales and bogus claims about cases that go nowhere. From link:
The FBI pounced on this disclosure, and soon Khan was on the Bureau's payroll at $50,000 a year as an undercover informer, charged with returning to Lodi and probing the terror ring. To date the Bureau has paid him $250,000.
That's kinda the point, though. The poseurs and morons (like the hotdog stand owners and other angry rubes who are deliberately set up by American intelligence for the sake of budget justification and media fluff) are the only ones who will justify the use of this technology and all associated make-work programs.
The real ones who exercise more care (possibly as per your rules) never get caught until its too late.

So, you will have a fleeting connection as the cab whips by, dropping of a fare outside your $2000 a month NYC hovel...
But is it the Cash Cab? Free month's rent!!*

Well, there was, before the American economy went to shit.
Just graduated with a degree in physics? How about 10 bucks an hour soldering pads and screwing screws?

Butt like Urasshole, Jupiter has a great red spot.
Yemen doesn't have an extradition treaty with the United States. In fact, extradition is prohibited in the Yemeni Constitution.
Wat do? Ask president Ali Abdullah Saleh if we can go into Yemen and kill the bad guys ourselves.

"civilized" societies can and do go from their pinnacle to their worst in short time spans, shockingly short if there is a lot of pent-up tension.
Yes! What I said.

This is a computer engineer here. Modern scopes aren't even called "scopes" anymore: the Agilent infiniium-series DCA* or a BERtScope**.

Submitter - not trolling, but you should include C# in your list if you want to be relevant today.
Don't hate the players, hate the game.
Try Fox News.
It's fair and balanced, with non of the media's liberal bias.
The problem is that, when wide snooping infrastructures are in place, organizations other than the native government learn to listen in.
Remember the Greek phone-tapping fiasco?
