    I think it's safe to say you've never been to Austria, and you haven't read a sentence about modern history since high school.

    I would even conjecture to say that this is exactly how the bankers running your country want it to be. This, from a (clearly fellow) American.

    The exact timing could be a definite issue. The video snippet should be entirely possible, but would require effort.

    He was clearly moronic in thinking that an American engineering board in the 21st century might be interested in engineering issues.

  11. He can certainly call himself one easily enough, just like all the other network techs have since the 80's.

  17. At my last job, I had an unfortunate task where I discovered how incompetent Google and Microsoft (or any other company for that matter) were at interpreting text in images, and this after more than decade of hooting and hollering from all directions as to how the problem had been solved many times over.

    Who convinces these organizations to try to convince the rest of us that they've got anything figured out for video now?!?

    Reality is quickly outrunning the fantasies of the tech world...

    Perhaps your analysis applies on a global scale and for the boogie man. I merely work with the reality I see on the ground in the US, and the soulless misers left behind in a consumerist society.

    You sound like the cocky investor know-it-alls who told me in 2007 how stupid Europeans were for not investing in a more risky fashion. I'm sure they, too, had all the numbers worked out, so go back to cranking out your analysis and whitewashing the truth for your corporate master.

    You're so full of sh!t, I don't where to begin. If Europe can afford to educate its public for free, then Lord knows the U.S. can.

    That the robber baron wealthy of the modern US would scatter off with the money like the oligarchs in Russia is no surprise, however.
