    When I was a kid I knew the other kids were idiots, but then my teachers were idiots. You cant expect children to learn from idiots.

    The fucking Gym teacher was teaching the "computer class" he had zero clue so it was all "independent study" until someone broke a computer, then we could not use the computers anymore.

    "Did you know that in America most private schools are worse at educating students than public schools?"

          The only thing that saved my daughter was pulling her out of the utter shit public school system and putting her in a private school. She then started to actually receive the education she needed instead of the Public school barely teach system.

    She went from a D student to A because she was no longer stuck having to learn at an 95IQ level that public school teaches at. we cant leave the dumb students behind so we need to teach s.l.o.w.e.r......

    Then we have the fact that 80% of the private school graduates go on to college, compared to the 40% from the public school. The neighboring low income public school district has only 20% that will attend college.

    So please fill us in on your EXPERT education and experience with private schools. Please show me data that proves that public schools are better. I would love to see this.

    when I was in college it was all the Rich kids. Daddy was an executive so they dont have to work hard nor play by the rules. They also paid people to write their papaers, etc....

    "This gives you a degree of randomness and makes brute force near impossible without physical access to the device"

    Nope. I can easily brute force that as there is only the last 6 bytes of the address that I have to brute force. MAC address is not 100% random the first half is device brand and type identifier and is the same for all products in that line.

    So I need to brute force 6 characters that are 0123456789ABCDEF. I can crack that in seconds with brute force.

    Set the default password to be the ethernet MAC address. Problem is most of these cheap china crap cameras all use the SAME mac address.

    Just bought 6 1080P IP cameras and discovered I had issues when I powered up more than 1. I looked and all of them have the exact same mac address. Easy enough to change if you know how in the web interface UI, but 99% of consumers would have no clue.

    Policy is only there for lying to the employees.

    The job offer for my current job, I shot back that I wanted to start at the MAX vacation time on day 1. Yes, A new hire starts with 5 weeks of vacation every year, the audacity! I have 20 years of experience, I'm not a newbie, I get full vacation.

    I had a response that it was against policy to do that, so I responded with "then I decline your job offer."

    Suddenly they were able to "break policy" and make that change for me.

    Yes I can. I paid for a LExis-Nexis search on myself, you cant get bigger than that for big data.

    They dont have ANY of my isolated Social media. You have to keep them isolated, the biggest part is you DO NOT have the same friends in both. Work and professional friends in Sanitary social A. Drunken satin worshipping idiots in Social B. (We do love our satin robes!)

    Note: a Lexis-Nexis search takes very little to request and returns a lot Including Social Security number and Drivers license number. But it was also full of errors, they cross filled me with some information from another person that I thought was a bit hilarious.

    "I make slightly less than median for my title and location, mostly because my peers have a few more years experience than I do."

    Stop accepting this bullshit line when you hear it. If you regularly out perform your peers that have more experience, then you get more pay than those slackers.

    I really hate it when people buy that bullshit line when managers trot it out.

    Also, giving you a 10-20% raise is NOTHING to the company. And honestly it's almost nothing to you when you look at your paycheck. Yet they act like you are asking hem to cut off their legs when you demand to be fairly compensated for your work.

    Understand that Paying you an additional $10,000 a year is absolutely nothing to a stable and healthy company. Now understand why no company deserves any loyalty from an employee.
