Chicken, egg. Are some IT people going merc because they can see that companies don't give a shit about them? I guarantee it.
I like a good steady job, so I'm working in higher ed. Pay's not quite so good as the private sector, but one's bosses tend not to be mercenary about next quarter's results.
Reminds me that with Cray supercomputers they had to take the speed of light into account, because if they made the processing unit too physically large it'd start running into insurmountable latencies.
Even with a perfect fiber interconnect with zero latencies caused by the equipment, you're still not going to get 100% CPU utilization with one of these babies.
There was hardly any WWII equipment used in Nam. The only such aircraft were old Douglas Invaders used briefly in the early years before being grounded for corrosion. The Skyraiders, while definite throwbacks, entered service after Japan surrendered.
You can do that, but the experience is sub-optimal. We've got a few users doing just that with iPads to access a certain program that was written against a (modern) version of IE.
It's slow and the UI is/not/ meant for touchscreens, but it does work.
I've got a worn-out *buntu install that's seen far too many apt-get [install|remove] commands (video and sound no longer work reliably) and I've been seriously considering switching to Mint. I'd assumed that Mint's dist-upgrade process was as smooth as Ubuntu's, but now I'm really leaning towards LMDE and its rolling releases.
I'd noticed that doing a s/lisa/maya/g and s/oneiric/precise/g in/etc/apt.conf and then dist-upgrading on my Mint 12 VM resulted in a fairly broken upgrade, but assumed it was because the RC hadn't been announced yet and so things weren't really ready for that - for one thing, Ubuntu stuff was overwriting Mint packages.
I'd switched away from Debian-testing to Ubuntu back in the 5.10 days anyhow, so it'd be a bit of a homecoming. MATE integrates a lot better into LMDE than Ubuntu with a PPA, so it seems, and that's my favored environment.
I believe the North Korean term for the coaxial "radio" is "the third radio". I don't recall exactly what the other two are, but they're both wireless and the wired radio is IIRC largely restricted to Pyongyang.

We don't typically compare ourselves to the Third World. If anything, we should compare/contrast ourselves to other first-world secular democracies.

Like InNOut, because I'm not amorally in favor of only my own pocketbook.
Likewise, I've got the Timeline's little brother (Aspire 1410) and it's excellent for the $420 I paid in Nov '09.
IIRC the plan is to retire the A-10 beginning in 2028.

Not if they're using Active Directory, and it's not all that hard to block a port at the firewall.
People who have experience with medical IT may now snigger.
DNS cache poisoning.
Probably. I couldn't even get it to run on any of my "vintage" virtual machines, let alone render any websites.
Oh, not that kind of facial?
PAY YOUR $699 LICENSE FEE, you cock-smoking teabaggers!

Hmm. I'd also considered installing a minimal version of Ubuntu Server and then installing MATE from the PPA then any other packages I'd want.

6/10, not a bad effort.
If you want twm or ratpoison, you know where to find them.
No, (immoral) rich people will hire accountants and lobbyists so they can pay the absolute minimum.
They'll stick around and use society's benefits while not wanting to pay for them.
Haven't you Dutchmen gotten the word? American law applies to all of our allies now.
Badly designed on purpose, mind you.
People still read User Friendly?
SIMH. I'm reasonably sure it will run on a $100 used computer right now, or on a new piece of equipment that's not much more and power-efficient.

Sonny, have you ever done any IT work?
Get off my lawn.
So because /in theory/ the regulatory body could be compromised we shouldn't ever bother doing it at all?
How shortsighted.
