I am not arguing about how the implementation of the development should proceed. If they truly need specific older models of hardware to do on point engineering of the OS kernel that demonstrates superior debug outcomes, fine.
BUT PLAN THE BUDGET TO DO SO.
Don't hold everyone on all architectures hostage because a 1989 Vax system chews up 90% of the electrical bill.
If people want that sort of support it has to be paid for SOMEHOW.
That sort of an electrical bill is a crap explanation in my opinion to support the development and deployment of OpenBSD developers and users.
Poor management is more likely the explanation.
I mean, for example to not watch the cash flow, and all of a sudden require a huge cash intake is something I don't understand.
This sort of problem should have been apparent YEARS AGO, anyone managing the infrastructure could have seen coming and there should have been PLENTY of time to correct the issue.
Am I missing something here people if so please do explain.
Why in this day and age, would you pay or even BOTHER with those toolsets when you can almost certainly design and build such a system for far less, and better technology (Eclipse, PostGRES, LINUX, ANDROID) using far less hardware?
I took a 2 year sabbatical and went back to UW-Madison to learn Chinese. Nice to be able to do that at 45.:-)
What I found despressing is the graduating kids in the Mechanical Engineering told to "head to China" because the building boom will last over their for the next 20 years at least and that jobs in the USA were truly few and far between with almost no investment in bridges, building etc.
Which, is pretty clear to see as most of our cities are in ruin.
If this is the case, then cancer diagnostic exams should remove these cells from your blood stream, firstly.
Secondly, if you require surgery or treatment, cells in your blood stream after removal of the primary cancer should then be removed.
Which makes a lot of sense, because cancer sometimes comes back to reinfect the patient.
So this would suggest, that part of the protocols for cancer treatment would require the patient to undego some sort of immuno therapy for blood work to complete the treatment.
Stop Using Climate Change to disguise an argument about human based climate change.
Nobody needs to argue that the climate changes.
These globalists who want a revenue stream for world government employed on you, your kids via carbon taxes always use this stupid, really irritating title on this so called paid research of theirs on human climate change.
Besides, I thought human based climate change was now a fact, and there wasn't any uncertainty?
Meanwhile low temperature records world wide are in the lead 2 to 1 over heat record highs because the SUN has nothing to do with climate change.
A company has to be chosen to be made an example of.
I think Apple would be an ideal choice:
1) Closed systems seem to be at the heart of the issue here. Companies that do not use open source or open systems have a much higher degree of compromise than say your typical open source project.
2) Trying to identify whether or not Apple is telling the truth with the amount of money they are likely to have received from the NSA/CIA for cracking their phones with 100% reliability, as disclosed here is a good example I think of who to believe. (Hint, not the company with the Apple LOGO.)
3) Furthermore, if we do not make an example of these companies, they will destroy the economy of technology by subverting products they sell on the open market allowing your competitor, or the NSA if they don't like your company to steal your IP capital.
If we do not take a stand here, and make an example of Apple or HP, etc by depriving them of their profits, and destroying their products viability we will lose the entire world market.
In fact, if things are allowed to continue, you won't be able to get a job doing anything with computers because they will be deemed too risky to use for just about anything that makes money, requires capital investment etc.
So if we take down say Apple and bankrupt it like we did with SCO (A very coordinated effort industry wide to replace SCO products with LINUX essentially killed the company.), it will get widespread attention and companies will stop cooperating with the NSA/CIA and more than likely improve their products so that they can't be modified in shipment, software is more open and secure. A win win!
I would suggest the first place we start with a company, such as Apple is getting rid of their products in your home by using your influence in computing if you are a professional and work in the field of computing to not use their products.
Apple, unlike HP is easier to attack with your friends as HP doesn't make iPhones and general consumer products that are 100% guaranteed to be crackable by your local NSA/CIA goon squad.
Most of my friends who use Apple products do so because of fairly personal reasons, not really good ones. If you can point those out, you can get them to try something else, like Cyannogenmod!
I did this by allowing my cousin for example to borrow my Android Cyanogen mod phone for a few days, and got him to dump his iPhone.
We could call the initiative the $1 Apple Stock Drive. (i.e. because we won't stop attacking the company until its stock is worth $1).
In fact, if you want a cloud service, open a port for openvpn connection and tunnel into your hard drive at home.
-Hack
PS: I would also like to issue a warning. If you are a person or a company, do not use cloud services. If you need that sort of service, it is trivial to build and secure yourself now days with free software like a LINUX kernel and openvpn.
Ahem....well in case you haven't figured this out yet...
We are fast approaching a pivotal moment in this human history. We are all aware, government employs primarily people who are attracted with conquering, and destroying humanity. However, up until this point you could flee to far off lands, you could cut a kings head off and end his/her reign and the weapons that people who do like government had access to were simple cannon and pistol and later during WWII planes/missiles.
This means that regionally a continent or two would be completely destroyed, like for example Europe or Japan later with Atomic weapons.
Now, we face a large number of psychopaths world wide with weapons and technology to destroy the human race and totally enslave it with no place to run or hide.
How long will we dodge this bullet I wonder? Do we get another 5 years? Maybe another 10 years?
I don't think we have even 10 years before the human race will have to choose:
Do yourself a favor and get yourself a PC white box and start routing with a LINUX source code stack.
At least then you can pick the hardware you want to trust and you can have a choice as to how far you want your security to go into the software stack audit.
But all of this is pointless.
As I pointed out before, it is IMPOSSIBLE to build a secure system anywhere NATO or its allies are operating.
Any claim of data protection by any company in this domain is FALSE.
We now know if you refuse to turn over any encryption information or fail to give your customers or your private data to the NSA you will get butt f*cked in prison.
So it is pointless to even consider TRYING to build a secure system, it cannot be done as a goal or even as a business benefit towards your customers.
My personal opinion as I have watched my friends and other companies literally go to jail or go under due to NSA activities is this: It has nothing to do with security, it has everything to do with funding NSA mischief.
That means industrial and financial espionage operations to insure information is known ahead of the game in the financial markets.
So the entire issue is that we are dealing with just common criminals and thungs.
The NSA is not even particularly smart, but they ar elike a large gang of wolves cornering the beast we call freedom and liberty and they are going to take it down.
Of course there is no benefit to taking a MultiVItamin, or in general any supplement that your body needs.
You need to be sicker, and to see the doctor more often so you can have more health problems to increase our profits.
We doctors need you to be as sick as possible otherwise we do not make as much money. Besides, those vitamins are too cheap! We need you to spend thousands per bottle, not $30 bucks at some health food store!
How would I be able to afford those vacations.....errrr..medical conferences paid for by the drug companies if I don't make you sicker?
Sorry, but I just can't believe the crap our society produces on a daily basis so I am being incredibly sarcastic.
Up is down, Down is Up and billion spent on insuring we can't even know what is going into our food because the Drug companies, Doctors and the whole freakin monstrous medical system wants us as sick as possible for the bottom line.
Next thing they will do is just ban VItamin C because it is a figment of your imagination that it even exists.

To understand that, you have to be aware of who funded Facebook and bankrolled all of it.

Facebook has never made a profit, and probably never will. But it isn't there to make a profit.
It is there to gather intelligence.
