First if all, what happened to anonymity for minors in legal matters? They named the kid in the alerts! Secondly, how is this a public safety issue? I think its a wonderful thing that we can have a public broadcast alert system that will warn me of imminent threats to public safety such as tornadoes, terrorism, or big rocks falling from space. But a missing child does not qualify as a public safety issue in my opinion.
Most software sucks ass because its rushed out the door before its ready. Software must be the only business that requires you to purchase a subscription to be able to receive patches that fix the shitty software you already paid for. What a bloody scam! Why cant we have quality software?
So very true. Unfortunately I dont see an end to this. Unless we can drastically improve our education systems to find talent and train it for real world tech jobs I think weve pretty much reached peak skill level. Tech is HARD and MOST PEOPLE suck at it. We need more people who DONT SUCK but alas, the breeding rate among morons is much higher than intelligent folks, because well, breeding isnt really the smartest thing to do is it? So many people get into tech because there are plenty of jobs and the pay is decent. These are all the wrong reasons and these people should be marginalized and flushed out of the system so we can focus our energy on developing the people who are actually capable of getting the work done efficiently and with a good amount of quality.
We all benefit from others being vaccinated, and being that it is more or less mandatory we should (but currently do not) have a compensation program in place for those who suffer from vaccine injury. In fact we gave a precedent set by the Supreme Court of Canada that the state cannot be held responsible.

The coffee tastes like crap, is an environmental nightmare and is far less cost effective than previous methods. Are we really that busy that we don't have 2-3 minutes to brew a shot of espresso and steam some milk?/For fucks sake people COME ON. If you own or regularly use one of these machines, please do us all a favour and off yourself!
Yes it was a bad analogy, what i meant to say was the licencing is necessary to ensure quality of service but the exorbitant licencing fees are not necessary. The spectrum licenses are sold to the highest bidder (for billions of dollars) the cost of which is passed on to the consumer, which is literally taxing end users on thin air.
Yea and then there is the hidden tax that is spectrum auctions.. The government selling the right to use radio waves is like selling the right to install solar panels.. And who does the cost get passed on to? Yup...
Can't blame carriers 100%. Carriers dont really do anything other than repackage software and hardware solutions from their vendors. Vendors that licence based on number of subscribers, number of OFDM codes, number of installed sites, instances of software, global geographical region. Vendors that heavily utilize FOSS solutions in their products but contribute very little to the FOSS community. Vendors that charge millions for (but provide a very poor level of) support. Don't get me wrong the carriers could improve their game greatly by focusing on providing better value and service for their customers, but the truth be told the margins for running a national wireless network aren't that great, and it's the multinational vendors mentioned above that are making the most of it. Here's looking at you Ericsson/Cisco/Juniper/HP/etc...
I bought a Telstra prepaid SIM when I was in Australia recently and was required to provide a valid passport with a valid visa label which was magically verified by Telstra (I was somewhat surprised to learn they have full access to the passport database because it told me my passport wasn't valid when I accidentally put the wrong passport number). The coverage was so poor however, that I decided on my way home to give it to a terrorist at the airport who was flying in from Saudi Arabia to say G'day to the Australian parliament house.. Serves em right!
He's doing what he loves, what's wrong with that? He also has a point about not only women, but many people working in technology. They get into it because it pays well, but they really lack the natural interest (passion) in the field to take it beyond being work. People like the GP are the ones who succeed in tech because they do it for the right reason, i.e. they love it and are good at it. The same can be said for any profession, and its the advice I give to my kids and others.. Do something because you love it and you're good at it. We are all good at something.
Just let whatever company wants to market their product as non-GMO do so ans leave the rest as they were? BTW, organic certified = non-GMO so there's that already. Food industry is scared of having to respond to consumer demands? OK cool go out of business, see if we care!
They are most likely not just looking for vulns in the software but to be able to inject them into the source code, recompile it and install it unbeknown to the target user. Kind of like what they were doing with the Cisco boxes.
That implies there is something wrong with assholism, which is where I disagree. People should be able to speak as they choose, it is how the community judges their statements that is important. This decides what is and isn't socially acceptable, and comment moderation serves this purpose here on/. I personally don't feel the need to post as AC that often but sometimes you want to make sure that what you say isn't linked to any presence other than your IP which can be hidden using VPN/TOR etc if necessary.
Go fuck yourself, thats what comment moderation is here for. Anonymity on the internet is immeasurably valuable in terms of free speech and this is one of the last somewhat meanigful places on the internet you can still have it.

Subject should be 'thanks Ericsson (3GPP)' for a useless feature because the core network can't handle the call volume in natural disasters anyway
Go buy another 8 port hub then ya whiny little fuck.

Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays!
Has anybody seen my stapler?

Not if we start killing them. I'm not even joking.

Haha you got me, I'm guessing you're in Vanuatu not the USA? Oh well no comment editing function exists so I will just have to own it.

But you have to admit, politically speaking, your country is a fucking laughing stock right now isn't it?
