I'm confused I thought fox news was the mouthpiece for the usurious billionaire class. I get the schedule confused.
Is it Tuesday, Friday, Saturday slate is the liberal mouthpiece for the usurious billionaire class and then Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday is the conservative mouthpiece for the usurious billionaire class. Do I have it reversed? Can you resend the schedule please?
Yeah just lost some respect for some one that I would normally say is brilliant. Space is risky and people are going to die, that's an unfortunate fact of life. I don't think government changes that for a lot of reasons. Usually exploration of a frontier is done historically by those seeking profit even if a government originally financed the exploration.
I agree. He probably has a record of doing this activity and stumbled accross it, otherwise how would he have known.
The real messed up thing is that no one else in the NSA came forward as a whistleblower about these activities; this shows either how indoctrinated or how well profiled there employees are in the org.
America is the same as far as possible outcomes, we have free speech and there is huge but, if it was a false accusation things get litigious. It would be odd to accuse someone of this though and if the claim wasn't true I am guessing facts would come out during discovery.
I agree with your sentiment. I am just saying that the insurance companies have made everything worse, pushed prices outrageously. I am not hearing the good arguments from people breaking it down to black and white.
Do you allow people to suffer and die if they can't pay?
Right now we have socialized medicine by default, if your sick, in theory the hospitals have to treat you, but then the costs get dumped on everyone else. If your poor and can't pay, you just get the bill and throw it in the trash, can't pay it.
Always a tough call; people say a lot of things in passing without facing until facing reality. What do they say, a lot of tough talk in boot camp, then a lot of prayers in fox holes.
That always amazes me when I hear stuff like that.
I wonder why he doesn't sell his house and move to where he can get a job? His wife might be leaving him because he has a loser attitude.
Was his argument that he had been on it so long that he couldn't find a job; he had become dependent.
What if you or your family have a terminal disease that can be treated like cancer?
You have 3 options.
1. Die or let them die.
2. Go deeply in debt, let's say 300k. You can pay it off but your 53 and you'll need to sell your house and make payments for 15 years.
3. File bankruptcy. The hospitals and doctors get nothing.
Oh yeah you have health insurance but are over your lifetime maximums.
What do you do?
I also wonder why we have our heads shoved up our proverbial @ss's in the country. We seem to have the group think that if it's made in America then it's a POS idea. Switzerland had a system like ours before they went to basically the system we have because it was cheaper and allowed more people to run a business and work without fear of dealing with huge medical bills. The last time I checked they are the number one country to start and run a business in the world. Shouldn't we be able to look at other countries and leverage what they did to become successful?
Competition not regulation? Let's do away with the middle men, the only way true competition could work if the consumer deal directly with the provider. No insurance company! The insurance company acts as an arbiter that artificially raises the prices to the consumer, their negotiated prices are usually much, much lower than what we as the consumer can get the services.
That might be true but they are "legally" only able to go after specific people that they know are violating the law. This is supposed to be the law. Unfortunately what is actually happening is the the NSA is combing through your emails and when they find something they refer it to the appropriate agency who then busts you and builds a "Parallel construction" case against you. This can be drugs, IRS, etc. anything that you might be doing that the government might build a case against. This is not against a particular pedophile or terrorist. The law is supposed to say if you have evidence against a particular person then you can get that persons records, signed off by a judge.
Dieser Fall ist klar,
Lieber Herr Kommissar,
Auch wenn sie and'rer Meinung sind:
Den Schnee auf dem wir alle
Talwärts fahr'n,
Kennt heute jedes Kind.
Jetzt das Kinderlied:
“Dreh dich nicht um, schau, schau,
der Kommissar geht um!
Er hat die Kraft und wir sind klein und dumm,
dieser Frust macht uns Stumm.”
This case is clear,
Dear Mr. Commissioner,
Even if you have a different opinion:
The snow on which we all
ski downhill,
every child knows.
Now the nursery rhyme:
“Don't turn around, look, look,
the Kommissar is out and about!
He has the power and we're little and dumb;
this frustration makes us mum.”
Yup, I am in the same boat. Management didn't work for me, it seemed like a thankless job with little pay or benefit advantage. The politics are rough as well, not to say that politics in development aren't rough as well.
I try and be as agnostic as possible, I write code better than anyone else. Give me a project and a deadline; walk away and trust me to deliver, that's what you're paying me for...
I don't care about politics, that's what your getting paid for.
Yeah unfortunately I think the parties wink at each other as their passing in power; like baseball teams changing up. They even trade players. It's like watching the Yankee and Dodgers but they are the only teams. I think at some point we would realize the game could be rigged; Hey we'll win this time then next time it'll be you, but we play by the same rules got it?
Not to offend anyone, but Obama seems to be pretty much like GW Bush. I know they say he's a commie liberal blah, blah, blah, but a lot of this stuff started under GWB, weird how the other party left it in place.
Like the great philosphers "The Who" said..
Change it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fall that's all
But the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war
Anyone up for some non-violent civil disobedience at this point?
It's interesting that the constitution has become a puzzle piece that the judicial branch try's to find the most logical argument around the literal meaning of what was intended ignoring the intent of what the constitution says.
If this is not stopped I think there will be a time when what the literal meaning of the constitution will become irrelevant with the judicial branch able to give an argument justifying any and all actions.
Yeah this story sounds real. I am not seeing an accompanying article or evidence. Not saying it's not real, but it sounds like one of those government conspiracy theories like the government faked 9-11. Competent enough to stage 9-11 in front of cameras and people, with no one leaking it, then incompetent, for instance Snowden leaking information about the NSA. Who knows...
Sorry I'm stupid, the link wasn't showing in my browser for some reason. They're idiots then for not upgrading their email services.

The only thing disruptive about SQL Server BI is that it's free.
I have used the other products and I am a heavy user of SQL Server BI, I am not a big fan of the other products, they are too expensive, it's hard to justify spending all that money. I am just saying I have clients that wouldn't take me serious if I suggested SQL Server BI
Windows 8 on a non PC is fine, it should have just be split, why invest into a declining market anyway. I am a heavy Windows user, not trying tear down the product. MS has actually done more to help computing then any other company in my opinion.
I remember trying to build early java applets using sun documentation, it was like non-existent; you see where sun is now.

Thanks for the comment :)

I agree with you actually. I am just saying the options listed are (more or less) reality for some people.
That always amazes me when I hear stuff like that.

Yeah Ellison is a piece of work. Even a broken clock is right twice a day! Oracle is a good product but really overpriced.

Unfortunately because of the Patriot act and the legislation that the government passed after 9/11 we are turning the country into a police state. The terrorists are destroying us from within without even being here.

WIndows 8, horrible product. http://www.extremetech.com/computing/155199-windows-8-passes-100-million-license-sales-almost-matching-the-growth-of-windows-7 SQLServer, disruptive? I am pretty sure teradata and oracle own that market, none of my clients run SQL server for data warehousing, and BI would be either Cognos or SAP BI. SQL Server BI is pretty lame...
