that the political establishment in the UK is bought and paid for by Microsoft.
I mean, the bias here borders on the edge of insanity, even after billions of dollars of costs involved in completing what was suppose to validate the Microsoft OS and its.Net API, that is was superior to POSIX threading, UNIX principles in general...etc.
Basically invalidating large portions of Knuth's work, including principles of code/data seperation using Microsft's new design principles, which I have never been able to figure out. The project was to replace UNIX on all of the worlds exchanges with easy to use Windows.
Starting with THE LONDON EXCHANGE.
ANYWAY...with a ton of PhD's, Microsoft began work on one of the largest and complex site implementations of Windows EVER in late 2008.
It was a complete and total success....for LINUX, after suffering through major outages at THE LONDON EXCHANGE, which one outage cost about 10 times the original project cost, was already over budget they simply....
The PhD's, simply GAVE UP.
Which says alot about Donald Knuth's original work, the state of Computer Science today (we STILL haven't really progressed passed 1978) and the engineers who built the ideas around LINUX at AT&T. (Not PhD's and neighther was LINUS.)
Nobody in their right mind uses Office anymore in new projects unless you are stuck in the 1990's and there is no alternative.
But, no way is Microsoft products designed to be cheaper, it never happens that way in my experience if you start a new project today.
to rename our efforts to create a world wide carbon exchange to tax nations and deindustrialize them to bring them under rule.
Not going to work, because the cat is out of the bag. The sicence behind Global Warming is so fake, it is like watching two drunk people doing Cherades at your company Christmas party.
We are suppose to be stewards of the Earth. If we REALLY wanted to clean up the environment we would agressive upgrade our energy production facilities like we do with our PC's.
Thorium Nuclear power would be a good place to start.
Chemical Fusion/Low Energy Fusion would be another nice place to start.
We have tons of energy solutions for personal cars/transport and mass transit. We are refusing to do these things because it disrupts the power structures, all of them political.
There world seems to be stuck in a rule by Oligarchs, who are hell bent on bringing another round of fascism to the table.
So we do not get change on any of the issues of energy and environment because they would lose their power structures if we did.
Natural systems on the earth do not use it much, and it can accumulate quickly. Essentially the only way to get rid of it is through ignition, very bad, or photolitic processes that break it down via sunlight.
CO2 input in our Biosphere is much less of a problem due to the large numbers of ways CO2 can be consumed, and it is often consumed very quickly and by a wide variety of sources, unlike methane.
One of the reasons why CO2 is not a big deal to me, is because the Earth has experienced huge increases of CO2 in the past, and biological systems quickly deal with it. In the geological record that usually means gigantic and prodigous amounts of plant growth.
The amount of CO2 pressure with relation to quantity in the atmosphere, allows plants to more efficiently obtain it, along with water based geological systems. Less work is required to obtain CO2 and it can be processed faster in plants, and microorganisms.
What I do not like about the CO2 debate is the obvious ways in which people are using it to deindustrialize societies and cause chaos to bring about a new ruling class by any means possible.
If you do just a little bit of home work and look at the companies surrounding the climate change debate and who is funding it, it is obvious that these individuals and companies are using it to solidify military and economic dictatorship on every individual on the planet.
If we can remove people like Al Gore and his paid chrony academics from the discussion, we can get some real science done and instead of building billion dollar carbon credit exchanges to save the planet, we can look at developing new technology to really deal with the problem.
and what makes you think buy coming up with an ID bracelet for a firearm this is going to prevent some kid from suicide?
I didn't realize firearms bans had such magical powers to prevent everyone from hurting themselves.
Why not genetically engineer human beings at birth so only those among the elite class are born with legs and arms?
The rest of you who are so afraid to live your lives as a free person because someone is going to come up behind you and shoot ya, can be born without legs and arms.
1) However, a lot of the points you specify are. For example, the probability of you getting accidentally shot.
You have no way of defining the probability of you getting shot in real terms, so it cannot be compared with nobody owning firearms for example, or only the government owning firearms.
We of course know which of the two is worse historically and since NOBODY owning firearms is a fantasy world we do not live in, your fear is indeed irrational, if not a complete refusal to acknowledge the reality we all live in.
2) If you are mistaken for an intruder that would be bad.
If your government mistakenly misplaces the law of the land, that is far worse.
Read your history books if you think I am lying.
Or don't you people read?
3) Skill in the use of a firearm is important. Perhaps practice would be in order.
Form a neighborhood get together, say with your neighbors and use targets to practice.
because well, criminals shoot those sorts of targets. We as citizens do not condone criminality for example in the use of firearms so targets such a pop cans or bottles might do well enough. You can also just get targets from the internet and print them out.
4) Gauging the facts about ones own safety is a tricky business.
You either arm yourself, or SOMEONE ELSE will make that decision for you. Again, read your history books on armed conflict in ANY period of human history.
5) Law abiding citizens do not use their guns for intimidation. Not only that, if everyone is armed, that sort of human behavior is simply unheard of. Nobody would do what you are suggesting who is a rational law abiding citizen if they wanted to live.
You have no idea what you are talking about here, sorry.
6) Yes, storing firearms is a big problem. Especially with children in the house. Luckily there are lots of off site alternatives as well to accommodate these concerns.
Your points are irrational in a lot of ways in a reality that is based on fear and probability. Ironically, that is the exact type of climate of fear when only the government can be armed, and the citizenry has no idea at any time, one nutcase in power can change their lives over night.
That won't happen in the USA because if it does, there will be civil war. Civil war in a country with Nuclear weapons and I can rest assure you nobody will survive it.
I do not want iOS or Microsoft because I can't get the source code, and audit the software on my devices.
Malware is bad on all platforms, but Android gives me an edge so I stick with it, on my tablets and phones I buy. (i.e. I use Cyanogenmod source code)
Microsoft is even worse though. I sort of have a bias here, because I was a Microsoft Admin in my younger years for about 10 years, and due to all of the lost sleep being on call fixing Microsoft crap at 3AM in the morning, I can't stand their products.
Last thing I want is something like that on my tablet or phone.
They do not care about the constitution because they control and print the money.
We are way way WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY beyond the point of fixing this through the ballot box, and if anything thinks so, you, your wife, kids dog cat and canary are going to end up dead.
Each home should be able to produce excess power and sell it back in the power internet.
That is the primary reasons for many of these attacks, and although I do agree there is a lot of exhisting vestment in power, centralization and control is something a lot of these new technologies lack.
Non control is far more threatening to the Globalists who are carrying out Agenda 21 Ugenics and Carbon Taxes.
You know Al Gore stands to make trillions in Carbon taxes if his ideas come to fruition for example.
But a canned structure isn't, and no organization benefits from a canned structure it uses that either its competitors use, or its enemies.
Really this has been demonstrated so many times I am quite frankly puzzled why people/organizations feel the need to copy a plan to organize infrastructure, when more than likely they had exactly ZERO input to the process.
Google realized this when it created its infrastructure and came up with thier own plan.
Everyone should do the same, it isn't that hard really. Are people such simpletons they can't figure out what the best plan is for your organization to structure security and software updates that you have to refer to a bunch of non experienced, government bureaucrats who wrote ITIL?
Borne from a bunch of technocrats with nothing to do all day long but twiddle their thumbs, ITIL gives any spy organization an exact behaviour profile of your organizations entire operations.
You implement ITIL and your already half way to having your infrastructure compromised.
You worship at the temple of your Evolutionary God and proclaim its achievments, but deny this God has anything to do with humanities current condition.
But still insist, using the same science this God demands as tribute will somehow bring about a better future because Evolution is sick twisted and blind.
If your God of Evolution has any justice , it will terminate the gene line quickly and efficiently called Homo Sapians.
Since most of the "Computer Science" we call today is actually "industrial science" with variations on things we already know, you shouuld go back and learn all of the fundamentals fo the science, which in my opinion was established by Knuth.
Which, I can assure you, you haven't learned them if you went to a typical University in the United States. For one thing, you spent way too much time reading about other things to cover the basics of the science of computing in 4 years at a University.
This should be a graduation present for all University Students, and a cornerstone for those who want to avoid college because of cost/indoctrinized education and begin studying the topic yourself.
What I like about this set of books is, you can even as a beginner, skim the text and if you like, avoid the theory, and immediately start trying to write code and in many cases, the algorithms in the code point to an understanding to the process of many mathematical functions.
With this understanding, you can start trying to tackle some of the fairly formidable abstract ideas in the text which forms the foundations of computer science.
For example, I learned what integration was about from a computer algorithm this way when I was 14, and once I understood what was happening with the code the math was much simpler. I always thought Calculas at the time was big and scary. Not so scary when you do it in C code.
Calculas = Fancy Adding and Subtracting.:-)
But you won't touch any subject matter right now, or in the foreseeable future that Donald didn't already cover in these volumes.
And if you think this is too harsh, you haven't studied our history like I have.
The last thing I would want to envision, is a humanity as it is, with some of the news paper headlines I read, to have any sort of access to anything in the Universe beyond your neighbor next store.
And no, Einstein, Monet and Newton do not make up for the past, or the future.
Death is what we deserve, and if we do not change, death is what should be for every man woman and child on this earth.
But isn't one of the precepts of science, the ability to freely question and investigate a claim and make up ones own mind a cornerstone of the foundation of science itself?
Since when do I have to stop thinking because someones says for example Evolution is proven and because we can make iPhone's and send people to the moon God is dead all because a PhD says so?
That is not science, that is doctrine and I think most people who are free and thinking, understand the difference.
To chracterize the idea that people are ignorant and stupid because they question evolution is simply doctrine.
Evolution has lots of problems to solve for itself before a model can be show that overcomes simple entropy for example in Biochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry.
Considering that anyone working at a call center is no way going to pay for a CS degree from a major University.
Not unless you want to be a debt slave for the rest of your life.
I am highly skeptical about college grades and ability.
VERY skeptical because for 25 years in building software and systems, I do not see a correlation yet.
Going to retire in 10 years so sombody better pop up and tell me I am wrong.
I would be much more impressed if you don't have a degree or any degree work and had a contributed to any number of thousands of software projects on the internet, or created something yourself.
Yeah, I have seen the source code to the Windows 7 OS, CISCO's iOS and LINUX of course.
They all suck equally.
However, that being said, I am currenrlty running a version of the LINUX OS I built and modified for my customers use in a PostGRES server which is quite large.
Open Source wins again because I can correct the suck.:-)
The 2nd amendment was not put there for cattle ranchers and farmers and people who hunt for food.
It was specifically put there because the founding fathers recognized that the human spririt has failings.
One of those failings is the one THEY were most familair with, and Mr. BUNDY out on his Ranch in Nevada is finding out right now.
HIstory is quite clear about this point: Governments have a nasty tendancy to kill, and destroy themselves along with the laws of the land and the citizenry with them.
If the people are denied the unconditional purchase and ownership of ANY weapons, governments will have their way with them.
Contrary to that is, of course what we know to be true: If no person who gets out of bed in the morning feels like controlling, possessing or stealing, or killing his neighbors were around, I would agree. We would not need weapons.
But we live in a world were a small fraction, about 1% of the population have uncontrollable urges to Murder, Steal, Rape and Loot our country.
If everyone is not armed, they will eventually take over. It also makes it VERY expensive for say, the Russians, Europeans or Chinese to ever EVER get the notion of invading and setting up on US soil. So arming everyone has lots of benefits.
But unfortunately we have subject A: Mr. Harry Reid from Nevada.
But we do not live in that sort of world with Mr. Reid and his ilk around.. We live in a world, were Harry Reid, a Senator from Nevada has colluded with foreign interests, to use his ability as a law maker to make laws that make it OK for China to steal land from a American citizen.
When Harry Reid says for example, you can't break laws I make for my own benefit to steal Mr. Bundy's land AND you are a domestic terrorist for resisting my business investments as such...
WELL WE HAVE A WHOLE NEW KIND OF COUNTRY WE ARE LIVING IN....For his own personal gain himself, and his family. That form of government is not a democracy. Or haven't you all heard?
What? The USA has no engineers who could build, manufacture and create a solar energy plant as good as a Chinese government firm? Really?!
News to me for those of you sitting in your parents basement after 4 years of engineering school looking for a job!
Of course we do and worse yet, I wouldn't trust Chinese parts in something as critical as a power plant in the USA.
In the end Senator Reid, has colluded with foreign powers to steal this land, and profit from it, including his family.
O L I G A R C H Y.
According to the Constitution, that is TREASON, as it redraws the borders such as what wars do, and therefore has made war on the American people for his personal gain.
Secondly why do you need snipers to come out and target Bundy over were his cattle are grazing? Unless of course you know what you are doing is against the law, and immoral and he would resist?
Third there are laws that have been ignored, that have means to grand father Bundy into the ownership of the land he grazes his cattle on. I am sure an agreement could be reached on that without the need of Military snipers, Blackhawk helicopters. These laws are totally ignored. That is to be expected, because this isn't about the LAW, it is about Reid and his kid getting a sweet deal on a solar energy plant.
Bundy is a special case because he has been grazing those lands before most of your grandfathers were born, over 100 years his family has been there using that land the same way he always used it.
The response from the Feds makes absolutely no sense. Certainly no sense in formenting, provoking the American citizenry with military assets placed all around the ranch.
How do we fix it?
1) Reid resigns immediately. 2) Bundy is grand fathered into the lands he has been on for over a 100 years using existing
"...decades without computers would render computer science and related professions useless."
The idea of graph theory is perfect for building social systems, that withstand breakdown.
The idea for example not to over centralize government for example to avoid disastrous consequences.
We know from graph theory nodes with too many edges are suspect and reveal design weaknesses in computer networks.
The same happens in human social/governing systems. Kings, Queens or many forms of government that are too centralized results in war, death and darkness.
One thing to do after the apocalypse is pick up that graph theory and get to work in building a highly distributed, non centralized society.

If you don't, your government will, or someone else will and you won't like it.

Otherwise we as a nation will repeat the those same mistakes.
Only if you Pick AR71XX hardware though.
Which I use the WDR4300/TPLINK
Does an excellent job for managing QoS bandwidth in my house.
It has a nice GUI if you are not a technical person, and you can build the firmware source by yourself.
First of all, built means compiled and modified means I switched off u32 support as well as targeting a Xeon processor class.
I did not need to write code, the kernel had to be rebuilt and the binary replaced/modified for the target processor and memory architecture.
You use the .config for that and rebuild the kernel tree. You don't need to write code.
SO! The included Redhat kernel was way too generic for the application performance required.
Among other things. But the point is, you can't do that with an OS binary, so LINUX as an OS Kernel, is far more flexible than a proprietary one.
Yeah, I have seen the source code to the Windows 7 OS, CISCO's iOS and LINUX of course.

According to the Constitution, that is TREASON, as it redraws the borders such as what wars do, and therefore has made war on the American people for his personal gain.
Secondly why do you need snipers to come out and target Bundy over were his cattle are grazing? Unless of course you know what you are doing is against the law, and immoral and he would resist?
Third there are laws that have been ignored, that have means to grand father Bundy into the ownership of the land he grazes his cattle on. I am sure an agreement could be reached on that without the need of Military snipers, Blackhawk helicopters. These laws are totally ignored. That is to be expected, because this isn't about the LAW, it is about Reid and his kid getting a sweet deal on a solar energy plant.
Bundy is a special case because he has been grazing those lands before most of your grandfathers were born, over 100 years his family has been there using that land the same way he always used it.
The response from the Feds makes absolutely no sense. Certainly no sense in formenting, provoking the American citizenry with military assets placed all around the ranch.
How do we fix it?
1) Reid resigns immediately.
2) Bundy is grand fathered into the lands he has been on for over a 100 years using existing
Fixed within, 24 hours on 187 servers running open source openssl libraries, f and earlier versions.
I still do not have fixes for about 5 proprietary customer products, and there has been no word from 3 of them if they intend to fix them.
I have informed my customers that they should consider moving from the proprietary products IF they have the cash to do so.
I really do not see your point in asking the question.
You cannot design and build secure software to begin with.
You need to have the source code for the forseeable future now because of the world we live in.
Very very bad people are coming out of the pit and they want your infrastructure, your data and your intellectual property.
But above all, they want control of you.
Open Source can prevent a world like that from taking hold, but it cannot save a fool from his foolishness.
I am all for it.
Lets put the entire IPCC panel and all of the other Yahoo scientist wannabes that contributed to the report on a rocket and send them to Mars.
They can geoengineer all they like.
However,
LEAVE THE EARTH ALONE ALONG WITH TH REST OF US YOU MORONS WHO WANT TO PLAY GOD WITH THE ONLY KNOWN HABITABLE PLANET WE KNOW OF WITH YOUR FAKE SCIENCE.
"...decades without computers would render computer science and related professions useless."
The idea of graph theory is perfect for building social systems, that withstand breakdown.
The idea for example not to over centralize government for example to avoid disastrous consequences.
We know from graph theory nodes with too many edges are suspect and reveal design weaknesses in computer networks.
The same happens in human social/governing systems. Kings, Queens or many forms of government that are too centralized results in war, death and darkness.
One thing to do after the apocalypse is pick up that graph theory and get to work in building a highly distributed, non centralized society.
