At IBM, in all the jobs I described, I/we NEVER strung cables between buildings, in California you need permits, engineering clearance, and a specialty contractors license to do what you are describing, not to mention a cherry picker, forklift, crane, etc!
Are you twelve or are you showing off your mathematical ability?
No it isn't when kids are graduating with staggering debt, taking extra courses that do NOT DIRECTLY affect my job prospects is just plain stupid!
Everybody likes to criticize the tight focus of Indian schools, but look around you, how many Berkeley liberal arts/humanities grads are working at Starbucks vs the Indian H1B's that occupy jobs in the valley?
I was a Data room tech, field engineer, service tech, systems administrator, and second level support tech (not in that order) for over thirty years, and while I had taken (and done well at) algebra, calculus and geometry/trigonometry, etc I don't remember ever actually using it on the job, is it my memory? Or did I just not need it to write simple scripts in csh, ksh and eventually Perl? And I almost forgot, M68K & X86 assembler.
What makes you think that Zuckerberg didn't have an exit plan? Just peel off a paltry hundred million or so, hidden in the books and secretly deposit it in the Dutch Antilles, or some stable place with no appropriate treaties with the USofA, where he and the misses can retire early!
I would call myself a nerdish sort, and I also have a gun safe, that is very secure as it predated the high-tech combination, biometric, digital nonsense. My safe is over 40 years old and has two cylindrical key locks (odd size, limited blanks, non standard pin configuration). It has served me well, it is a fairly small unit, screwed securely in the back of a closet, behind the cloths.
If some pain in the ass wants to make trouble, nothing short of termination followed by months of expensive litigation will suffice!

Actually Barret makes a dandy ultra long range sniper rifle in both a bolt action and an autoloader, both are used by the US military and civilian marksmen! I prefer the.308 (7.62x51) over the.338 Lapua or th.50 BMG (but then what do I know).
Yes, like all the limp-wristed, Sierra-clubbing, country club, arrogant, pseudo cognoscenti who talks with that "special inflection" and goes to lavish fund raisers in his/her $80,000 Mercedes SUV, and just loves living in his/her 9,000 Sq Ft house in Blackhawk or spending the weekend on their 80 foot yacht (the one with two marine Diesels that leak into the Bay).
Phonies? Yeah, here in the SF Bay area there are more than anywhere else!
If you had my thumbs, you'd know that phone keyboards are just not usable for some people. What's wrong with a phone that just makes calls? This obsession with having to always be in contact, yakking with sombody every minute of the day and night!
Your own personal mnemonic the first 3 letters of your favorite color, the first 3 letters of your first pets name, the address number of your first address, you get the idea, and punctuate them with ?, &, @, %, $, (, ), ! in a pre defined order.
So I gather that you will defend Obama regardless of any facts or overwhelming data to show you that he's the most dangerous man to ever hold the office of the President?
Listen for the words "my Muslim faith" in the above video, By the way, it's not that I really care about his religious preference, it's that he chose to lie about it!
When daddy Warbucks's little princess gets splattered all over the interstate due to an unforeseen glitch in one of the Chinese supplied control modules the whole thing will go back to Jeeves taking the precocious little nightmare around, and poor (middle class) folks hurtling along at 65 MPH at the tender mercies of 4,000 lbs of crap, assembled out of Chinese parts in Mexico by angry, resentful, dog tired people!
If I talk to you about robbing a bank, I guess I'll go to jail, despite the fact that I haven't done anything yet, kinda like the Bush doctrine, wouldn't you say? Let's see, I'll cast a spell on Vladimir Putin, I guess I'm going to a gulag now?
What ever happened to a good ass kicking by the girl's dad, uncle or big brother?
The whole world must bow down in fear & awe of the brutal, violent, omnipresent, colonial power that the USA has become! The UK has caved, Sweden has caved, only one tiny South American country hasn't!
Have they really confirmed it's existence? Or are they still dancing around pretending to know what they're looking for?
IMHO when you start off with a flawed premise and write one thing after another trying to shore it up, and spend billions in an attempt to "prove" it, I would (hope) that the "proof" is as compelling as the theory!
If you're trying to stay under the radar, then you should consider NOT being on twitter! Or perhaps accessing your account via a pseudonym, a public computer, you get the idea.
The reason for the spelling was that my old Nom de plume (I would tell you what that means but I'm far to dumb, was already taken, (by me) because I'd lost the password, (slashdot had no password retrieval mechanism at that time) and it was easier to change the spelling and re register.
And by the way, why don't you get a clue you little snot and stop bugging grownups on this board, you must not have enough to do, unemployed, etc, I've been retired for the past five years, when I had a job I had better things to do!

Our Whores for the highest bidder system of government is predictable in that no matter what they do it will be detrimental to the American people.

In this brave new world, everybody except politicians, bankers and billionaires are "suspicious"!
You are assuming that they can read, you may be expecting too much!

Actually if pot was sold and controlled like alcohol and taxed like tobacco, we could use the additional revenue for education.
