I am assuming you've never had a C type person make huge IT decisions without having even consulted with IT.
In my 30+ years of experience, I've seen enough clueless C types make clueless decisions because some dude in a suit with a briefcase sold them a nice fat lie.
In our case "All it will take are a couple IP addresses and a server. No other IT is required" If it takes IP addresses and a server, it requires IT support. And in this case, the product was so fucking horrible that it requires regular (several times a week) IT support, just on back end crap from a product designed so bad that it just breaks every two weeks from design flaws.
Or this, "We've already bought it, you WILL support it" (with no additional IT funding for more IT help) multiple times over.
Or buying a mom and pop application with no Enterprise class requirements in its design. "What do you mean you don't do LDAP for authentication. There is no fucking way I'm entering 16,000 users by hand"
The issue with certain people is that they want "Shiny Pretty Technology" without caring, or wanting to know about what it actually takes to run. And it happens in enough organizations that I know that it is not an exceptional experience.
You're right, the C types don't know shit, which is why they should stay out of shit that they have no clue on. Yet they think they know better than the people who REALLY do know whats going on. In short, IT is a bastard child in most organizations, one that has more power than most of those C types actually know.
Give a craftsman a tile saw, and the work will be better than an apprentices work, regardless of which of the two both are using. The poor workman will blame the tool, the craftsman will likely tell you the cheap saw produces cheap results. But it will still look better than the apprentice's work.
Well, to be honest, most liberals are more scared of words than Muslims. Probably because words hurt them while no Muslim has. So their views are completely accurate for that data point.
So anecdotally liberals are correct, WBC is more dangerous than ISIS to the USians. But only if words hurt.
Give a Craftsman a crappy tool, and he can make it work. Give an apprentice the same tool, and he will likely fail. The difference is not the tool.
The difference is that a Craftsman doesn't rely on the tool, but rather on experience. A poor workman blames his tool, a Craftsman gets it done right in spite of the tool.
Seperate but equal was "law" because it was held in a court "opinion" as such. It isn't my logic that sucks, it is your understanding of how law actually works. Laws are legal, until a court's opinion overrules the law. Additionally, some court opinions become equal to law, such as "separate but equal" was an opinion that had the full force of law (see also Abortion/Right to privacy).
Yes, opinions change, laws change, they are related. If they didn't, then gays wouldn't be getting married. Again, I asked if there was no law you ever disagreed with. Ever?
Now, if you're suggesting that some laws are objective and some are subjective, I would suggest to you that might be correct. If any law is subjective, then it really shouldn't be a law.
Actually, my opinions are worth more than a random AC on Slashdot. Because I value my opinion more than you value yours (by hiding behind AC), you too also value my opinion more. Additionally, you responding to my opinion, means that it does have merit and is not irrelevant, negating your whole point.
It is my opinion. And law is nothing more than opinion. Once upon a time, "Separate but equal" was a court's opinion, it isn't any longer. Opinions change. Laws change. Ideas change.
Which makes my opinion equal to all others. And you NEVER heard of any law you disagreed with. EVER?
Monopolies are only maintained for periods of time, and are doomed to fail eventually. Most people don't have the patience to wait it out. I use LINUX as an opportunity that arose at least partially because of the Microsoft Monopoly. Microsoft couldn't kill what it couldn't control.
I would suggest to you that LINUX arose partially and probably substantially because of the WINTEL monopoly. Monopolies create alternative opportunities, the problem is that most people are unwilling to wait for them.
The People really don't want one either. People don't really want to know what is being done in their name by politicians, or else they would be pissed off. Plausible deniability. It is how many Germans ignored the Nazis.
To know, would require a person of any amount of conscience to act.
Racist Xenophobic conversations would be something I would engage in, not because I was either. It is more interesting to troll the stupid idiots spewing crap, than it is listening to conversations about LeBron or Kardashians.
The CM Micromax Deal was dreadfully short sighted. While they gained Micromax, they pissed off a whole bunch of people. I would be on ColorOS if it weren't for a missing single feature I use regularly, single button screenshot. If they add that, I'll be off CM for good.
My problem is, my phone is more interesting than most conversations during social events. I'm socially awkward at best, with esoteric interests. I can only hold a conversation on LeBron or Beyonce for about two minutes before I am bored.

if i had hookers on my desk, i would feel different. very much different.
that feeling is called an Itch. You need to have a doctor look at it.

I've seen a guy use a hammer on screws going into a wood deck. It was freaking awesome to watch.

So, what you're saying is that dropping from 1000 frames per second, to 950 FPS is all it takes to die?
My dad had a saying, I think it applies here: "A poor workman blames his tools"

If you're running a service similar to Google, and you can't compete, you need government to help you? Color me unimpressed.
On the other hand, if you HAD said "I run a service that IS better than Google", then you wouldn't likely need government assistance.
And frankly, I don't want Government picking winners and losers in the economy, their track record is pretty grim (See Solyndra)

If Google is messing with search results to penalize me and boost their business, that is clearly and abuse. Wouldn't you say?
No. Google has no obligation to yours or anyone else's customers. Period. End of story.
Why yes, it is inconceivable to use BING or YAHOO or whatever else is out there.
The greatest threat to liberty are those that say "There ought to be a law" without any thought. Because some idiot always obliges.
Our Rights don't matter to the political class. They are in it to secure power and exercise it. The (D) and (R) parties are clearly on the same team.
The People really don't want one either. People don't really want to know what is being done in their name by politicians, or else they would be pissed off. Plausible deniability. It is how many Germans ignored the Nazis.

I could have a shit ton of fun with that.

I'm a woma
Yeah, sure you are. I'm not falling for that again ...
Sorry, the "chauffeur" is hung up on Kardashian clan or Bruce Jenner or something else boring.
My take on things, just about everywhere it happens, the "War on _________" creates more of the __________
War on Poverty creates more poor people.
War on Drugs creates more drugs
War on Islamists wackos creates more Islamic Wackos
So, why does it surprise people that we create the very thing we wish to avoid?
My problem is, my phone is more interesting than most conversations during social events. I'm socially awkward at best, with esoteric interests. I can only hold a conversation on LeBron or Beyonce for about two minutes before I am bored.
BINGO!
