I'd never heard of those things when I was working comcast home networking support earlier this year so unless this is new since October or things were being sent to a completely different department than everybody else this is just total BS. The premium support that Comcast used to have was rolled into the standard package back in December 2013 so as far as I now everything that isn't business class escalates through the same chain, sure we used to give out the department phone# for quick access but it's hardly a secret.
Actually if you go over to Alibaba and buy a 10 pack of 2 dollar 16850 rechargeable lithium cells for your flashlight there is a good chance that they are recycled e-waste. In other words never underestimate the Chinese workforce when it comes to making a quick buck.
So they should move out of SoCal. Come on over to Iowa we have reasonable ping to both coasts and a 3 bedroom 2 bath in a bedroom community about half an hour from one of the metro areas will be in the $150,000 range. If you bring up cost of living you really have to justify location, oh you need access to the server racks, well guess what electricity is cheaper here too bring them with you. The only argument you can make is shmooze parties need to be done in person with investors but really how much of your staff needs to be dedicated to that?
You say your salary is commensurate with your cost of living I say you are being paid too much and spending too much.
And In trying to find a decent program that rips an iPod your computer will be infected so hard it won't be funny.
Speaking from some of the cleanup jobs I've done, you'd be better off just using a live distro and going from there .
If she can't compromise on a little computer case noise FUCKING RUN!!!!
Secondly
Who the heck asked for your opinion on this anyway?
The question is about quiet / remote computer entertainment centers if you aren't going to answer the question don't post.
So you see no difference between ending the practice of forcing children to learn a second alphabet, one that is intrinsically less readable at that, and full on never teaching basic roman script and reading.
You are a fool.
Get stupid answers, No, No,Yes.
And when robots ask if they have souls we say "No and neither do we, It's all pointless emptiness and someday it will all be over any your choices will have no meaning." If an AI can get through the inherent futility of existence without shutting down we slap a QA sticker on it and sent it off to work, if you don't think that's fair just consider it expedited teen angst.
Coming from an agricultural state I can say without a doubt Fear Mongering is produced by those trying to make a buck and sold to the stupid, Politics of left right center have no bearing on things it's just a product to sell. Democrat Republican hippy or business tycoon it's all just playing to the crowd for attention.
It's not censorship, it's filtering. When something new is brought up it's given it's chance looked over and accepted or discarded, if it's discarded you can rework it later in the light of new evidence but if you just keep shoving the same theory through the door over and over with some extra rambling tacked on at the end we filter you out. If this were people having second thoughts about renting out a room to a mystery speaker after it was revealed to be Gene Ray harping on about Time Cubes again this would be a finished argument but because someone said religion it's an argument now.
I'm going to leave this here http://creationwiki.org/ you go through this and grade for yourself how much has merit and remember that taking anything in the bible as a proving fact means that therory is dead, like Canopy Therory listing supporting evidence as Noah's flood. Anyway have fun with that link and try not to bust a gut.
Creationists have the Right to Free Speech, that's why the American Government can't disqualify them from public office or round them up in camps but no private forum is required to give them stage time. Example, during the entire Chick-fil-a homosexuality thing both sides retained their First Amendment Rights however due to the private nature of Malls where the stores were only the supporters of the franchise were allowed to set up next to the location, people objecting to the CEO's opinion on homosexuality were relegated to the public land surrounding the Mall. Fair or not it is legal, if you want to change that go ahead and try, but that's the way it is now.
Our Descendants 200 years from now will be sure to remember your warnings Musk. I honestly believe we will be well into the post-human age before anything that can be classified as an "Intelegence" will be created.

Because Terrorists wouldn't want to come to America due to the running gun battles in the streets?
Is that raspi going to need radiation hardened chips or is that satellites only?

Shouldn't that trigger "Market Forces" to FORCE the wages back up.
The the market being IT work the force being the demand for proper pay?

Things will still be scribbled on the backs of napkins and coasters just now it'll be legible printing instead of unreadable bullcrap.

Not that I'm interested in continuing this conversation but since when does someone spouting a generic "Not All Men" argument make them a misogynist?

Yea because another turning point like Wave-particle duality is going to come around without funding.
