Yes it is. right there next to the right to a speedy trial, oh wait.... that one was removed. Well then the right to even have a trial still there... No.... wait that one is also removed...
Free speech is still alive! they can protest about it 4 miles south in the "free speech zone"
In the 1800's this did not happen and dirty politicians were regularly taught a lesson here in the states. Texas was actually brutal to them, many politicians found themselves hanged when they returned home for their actions in office in the early years of the union, even into the 1900's this was happening.
I can not explain away these men's actions are pure stupidity, I do not think there are that many stupid people being elected. Therefore it is pure greed and malice based on them being bribed and paid off. Sadly they are not afraid of prison because they go to a special one that is comfortable, and many never ever go to prison because the system to convict them is as dirty as they are. It's an old boys club, and they got each others back.
Congress should be afraid of the american people as a whole, but today we are not a threat at all to the career of a dirty politician. We care more about dancing with the stars and some roch woman cutting off her boobs than we do about anything else.
"The only REAL problem here, is that in the US, this kind of corruption is perfectly legal."
only because Americans are far too lazy to form an angry mob, go to his home and tar and feather the scumbag. Politicians would actually work for the people if they were assaulted regularly for being dirty.
"Was this bribery? Of course not! We're not some piddly fifth-world country. "
Yes it IS bribery, and until you people stop pussyfooting around and start calling it what it really is, we will become more and more of a 5th or 6th world country as each day goes by.
Our politicians are bought and paid for, Every single one of them. Only fools believe otherwise.
I tried the first release a whole ago, neat concept demo but it turns your nexus into a useless brick. You cant even make phone calls because they have not eve started on the part that enables phone functionality.
The US dollar is still collapsing. and will continue to collapse fast for the next 5-10 years.
When you have real double digit inflation and cost of living increases you have a collapsing dollar. And yes, it's real double digit, the Fed is downplaying it to avoid a panic.
When you cant buy a week's of groceries (real food not ramen) for two people and stay under $80.00 you have a economic crash happening. Clothing, food, housing, gasoline. Cars are at disgustingly high prices... really an econoBox car is $15,000?
I am actually surprised the poor are not starting to band together and start killing the rich and stealing their stuff.
And if you want to have some fun eat uncooked red kidney beans. Note: be sure to stay in the bath tub as you will be projectile vomiting out of both ends.
My compensation is higher than yours and most others, I am in the top 40% of pay for my field.
Anyone that makes work their life, is a loser. My family is far more important than my work. In fact to this day I regret being a complete idiot and putting my career ahead of spending time with my daughter. I was not at her recitals and concerts because I was working late.
Just playing the games and seeing all the glitches everywhere is an apt display of that.
Cripes I know of several places where there are glaring, insane glaring bugs in skyrim. The freaking game engine has been around for ever but the same bugs exist in it through both fallouts, and then finally Skyrim.
Most CS grads cant program. They can write application software but they are epic failures at drivers, OS, and anything at the iron level. Some do, but those are EE degree holders with CS as a secondary.
You seem to not know how those work. There is no single monolithic program running. you have about 20 programs running and they all interact and communicate. No concurrent code needed.
Navigation runs on it's own. GPS is a service/daemon running that others get their information from,etc... Targeting is separate as well. Control communication is separate and then you have the failsafe daemons running to take control if anything fails.
IT is far easier to have separate subsystems all running on their own and talking than trying to write a single program that is concurrent. Plus your chances of failure go way down. You can have the GPS system fail and restart without taking down the whole system.
"or god help you if someone's nephew actually knew Access)"
Or worse, some manager discovered Visual Basic at one point and was "clever". and now you have to interface to that abortion that has been clinging to life for over 10 years.
notice how all these "ask slashdot" stories whining about an old programmer is some snot nosed punk that thinks he knows more?
Most of these kids wouldn't last a DAY programming an embedded system where you have 10K for your entire OS and program, let alone a high pressure place like financial programming.
"The alternative is to offer him the training he is supposedly lacking. If he refuses then that is grounds for dismissal."
In what jobs does the new kid fire senior employees? "Freddie here is fresh from college and is the new trainee, everyone watch out because I gave him the power to fire any one of you."
I am so glad I dont work in the bizzaro-world that you do.

A patent should require a physical object. Yes that means method and software patents die instantly, which is a very good thing.

Clouding a perfectly good FoxNews level Slashdot article with real facts...
What is this place coming to? Facts! Reading the Article! SHAME ON YOU!
His claim is that bitcoins are backed up and cant be destroyed.
You cant make phone calls.
I tried the first release a whole ago, neat concept demo but it turns your nexus into a useless brick. You cant even make phone calls because they have not eve started on the part that enables phone functionality.
So if my computer crashes, I can call someone and get all my bitcoins back?
No? Well then it's a scam.

My normal burger? nope. Because I know the cow that I am eating and I know the butcher that killed it and processed it.
That crap sold at restaurants? Yes. But then that stuff is not real cow meat, It doesn't even taste like cow meat.
And if you want to have some fun eat uncooked red kidney beans. Note: be sure to stay in the bath tub as you will be projectile vomiting out of both ends.
There is no life and no GOD without bacon.
Honestly, Bacon is life. Bacon is love. Bacon is the creator of all things.
I love vegetarians... they go great with catsup!
Make it public airwaves and give it to the ham radio operators. It's time they gave back some spectrum to us that has been stolen over the years.
I love my career, it is the idiots I have to deal with every day that makes it hard to love.
My compensation is higher than yours and most others, I am in the top 40% of pay for my field.

Yes I have written Drone code before.
