    If you're in IT and can't find a job perhaps you need to think hard about a career change. May McDonald's or similar. You're not cut out to be in IT.

    I know some people probably can't handle it, but the only lives I know that have been ruined have been due to the police action against them and nothing to do with the pot smoking they did.

    So in all your big spiel, you either think that the government is still covering up their "exploit" of tor, or you are just spreading FUD.

    Tor was taken down do to a social slip and not anything technical.

    Umm, installing SystemD is the trendy thing to do. Criticizing it comes from the learned wisdom of people that have been doing this for a very long time.

    Republicans know what "tragedy of the commons" is. That's when you socialize something like Education to the point where nobody is willing to pay for it. Even college is getting to the point where it is mostly useless waste of 4 years where working some menial jobs in an industry for less than 2 years will get you better chances and be paid to do it.

    No, you had to upgrade to sp1, then sp2 then sp3. They don't make patches for vanilla XP.

    And saying that sp1...2...3 are patches to XP then I can say that android 4.4 4.4,1 4.4.2 4.4.3 4.4.4 are all patches as well that fix this 4.3 issue.

    or if they could get 150 miles on a ~$15k economy car it would be a great commuter and I could afford to get a second bigger car for long road trips that would maintain low mileage and maintenance.

    150 miles and cheap would be perfect for me to get back and forth to work and still have enough range if I had to do something else in a single day, then charge at night.

    To go along with that I'd suggest the satisfying crunch of hanging up on someone you're pissed at. mashing the cell phone screen doesn't accentuate the emotion as well.

    The cost of education is much much more than then price per credit hour. The missing of work, the room and board, books food the basics for life while you barely able to find time for the homework and classes.

    There is a government program already in place to cover all this though. It's called the military. It works.

    probably as much as the first cave man to bring fire into his cave. "WE ALL BURN TO DEATH!!" they would say. "But we be less likely to freeze death which is actually happening now" he would reply.

    Let's address the problems we have now, and only consider lightly the problems we don't yet have. If they do happen to come up, we can address them at that time.
