Whereas in the rest of the world people hear something like that and go "hmm, ok so now like I was saying before, how am I going to put dinner on the table this week" and have more important shit to worry about than a couple of filthy rich jag-offs flaunting their money?
The very core of your argument is based on entitlement... "I want to try and become like this" presupposed that you "want what they have".
The American dream has been hijacked by corporate media and bred into the younger generations that its about getting RICH, either through hardwork and determination or luck. Whereas, the American dream, nay, the Universal dream, is simply to achieve happiness and sustenance without excessive strife.
The license violation in inherent in your line of questioning, you were overtly calling attention to a license violation whether you intended to or not.
In this case, maybe Web developers should be forced to learn about REAL server security and stop blaming the fucking IT departments when we respond with a resounding "no" to their requests that contain little or no concern for their shit quality code (RAILS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?) they want to put on the front of a site for a fortune 500 company where any hack = negative pr = negative revenues as calculated by point hairs = blame the fucking IT department. At least when you are forced to implement it inside(the horrible, nightmare of a shitfest) Sharepoint, us guys in IT can fall back a little tiny bit on blaming MS for shoddy work and the newness of their product when the CEO and CIO come downstairs to tear off OUR heads. IT is on the line for server security and WE get reamed when a web dev team's work goes south.
Its frankly laughable that you suggest the IT group shouldn't be running exterior services and suggest an external web group should work 'with them', web dev should be under the oversight of IT managers.
Yes it has, the Bells and cable companies have just gotten better at pretending to spend more of their own money while cutting corners and maximizing government subsidies on infrastructure (read: not really improving it, spending as little 'non government' money as possible on it)
You foolish children, shaolin monks, ninjas, pirates, and monkeys are NOTHING compared to the horrendous and frighteningly destructive power of those godless killing machines without a soul....
You are doing government work, onsite at government facilities, specifically for government purposes, in place of a 'government employee', whether you are contracted or not, and on the face of it you should be held to the same requirements of a 'full' government employee in terms of employment, background checks, access to classified information, and your employment rights in general. Your salary is paid ultimately by taxpayer money, not to mention the profits earned by your private employer.
Something is wrong with the whole privatization of so much of the governments services, and I guarantee your company is doing the work because its PROFITABLE, essentially profiting using taxes paid by other peoples gross income earnings meant for the government to provide a specific service. Anyone else see what I'm getting at or is there too much cognitive dissonance involved since this is 'just how things work' now?
I can understand if your case is a VERY narrow service that would require millions upon millions of additional dollars to hire/train/manage a government (employee-only) program without private corporate welfare involved, but my argument is meant in a general sense.
Is it just me or does it seem that if you are doing work specifically for the government, you have a 'government job'? Also, the idea of a University doing government work being 'private' also seems utterly _fucking_ ludicrous.
You will stop as soon as there is no money, and in the cycle, if we, the US, do not fix the trade deficit, money will just gush out of our economy, eventually it will decimate the economy and the money printers wont be able to afford paper and ink to print more money on.
That said, I haven't known many Canadians to be such condescending pricks, on such a direct personal level, congratulations on your uniqueness. Last time I checked, you crazy kids up there got sidelined and gave a big steaming pile of power to a pro-military, anti-socialist group of politicos, so get off your high horse, you're heading the way of the USA now, especially with good ol' Russia trying to claim swaths of the artic shelf for oil. Canadian military buildup here we go.
Your whole country likes hockey. HOCKEY. Well, do I win the argument with my own nonsensical judgemental mouth flappery, eh?
I'll come out and state it to your face, SIGINT DOES NOT WORK. The conclusions analysts provide from SIGINT data are best-guess conclusions. Its the tradeoff, you either go full big brother and get some useful SIGINT, or you stop fucking kidding yourself that SIGINT on such a huge population is worth shit. Police action and investigative intelligence is what we need, not more signal intelligence.

In that case, the question is would the leaking hydraulic fluid have affected an aluminum fin in the same or a similar way and led to said accident?
Cheers.
Why do I get the feeling this is the OS that the 'grey goo' will operate based on.
Toshiba Tablet laptops with no cd or floppy is a perfect example, I had to resort to cludging up a bootable SD card to get ubuntu on the damn thing.

I see where you are coming from, however...

The revolution against that shit has to start somewhere, and IT geeks are just the fully interconnected group that can get it going.
I apologizing for apologizing for you, and fuck you too, pal.

I apologize on behalf of all Americans.

Perhaps, then, we should base it on who SHATNER slept with, and name the damn star Bill.

Oh and ONE MORE! Van Halen just got back together. With David Lee Roth.

And you missed the White Sox winning the World Series the very next year.
I've been telling you mofos the End is Near, but everyone just laughs it off!

My Comcast is running at 10-12mbps sustained right now, if money got tight, I'd be hard pressed to give that up.
