Let me add to clarify, the third party doesn't threaten the most opposed dissimilar party. The third party divides the power of the most similar party, guaranteeing the most dissimilar party wins. For example, the current Republican party would LOVE and assist a left-wing third party candidate entering the contest and likewise the current Democratic power would LOVE and assist a right-wing third party candidate entering the contest.
Which they will respond to by gerrymandering districts to make sure no other party can get back in power and making it legally and practically nearly impossible to change the voting system... NOT by becoming responsive to the people instead of their funding sources.
When an alpha wolf is challenged he doesn't respond by being nicer to the pack, he responds by killing his competition and scaring any other potential contenders.
No, the solution is FIRST change the voting system to one that doesn't guarantee two party rule THEN vote third and fourth parties into some shared power (like many European countries).
TI99/4? Amateurs! I had a Timex Sinclair that was so slow it couldn't handle a keypress and display output at the same time. Every time you hit a key the screen would go blank until you lifted your finger.

I can't think of a more appropriate comparison since the 1930s.

Maybe your fellow engineer should manage that mission critical computer and have it install updates to keep up to date with all security patches... oh wait... that was last week's recommendation. Never mind.
I think it is useful to have a list ranked by recommendations, even if the list is biased, arbitrary and subjective. If that list leads me to read 'Exhalation' instead of 'Animorphs'; 'Shoggoths in Bloom' instead of 'Battlefield Earth' then it has served a useful purpose. As the parent says we have a finite amount of time.
Are you f'ing kidding? Right now I am looking at that damn 'UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 10' popup on all three of my computers. I've gone into the registry to remove it but it keeps coming back. Several times a day this thing interrupts my work. I dread accidentally clicking the wrong button and having Windows 10 force-fed down a feeding tube onto my computer Guantanamo style.
I was rude to an aggressive telemarketer and since I hung up I've gotten 10+ calls every day on my cellphone from automated recordings all from different telemarketers. I guess he put me on every list he could find. I asked AT&T what they could do and they said 'register yourself on the federal do not call list'. Thanks, but I already did that before the call.
You sound upset that you behaved, did as you were told, and didn't get rewarded.
You are a salesperson. Everyone is a salesperson no matter what field you are in, and the product is yourself. Build an interesting 'brand' around yourself and you will get interest. Be a good little worker-ant in a quiet back room and you will not get noticed no matter how good you are. Mustafa isn't being rewarded for his poor ethics, he is being rewarded for having an interesting story that gets attention despite his poor ethics. You can be sure the guy making the decision to put Mustafa in charge of keeping their money safe had to think hard about giving the keys to this hacker. Lulsec was as much about marketing themselves (fame, 'leet cred') as about hacking.
1) At some point the face is reduced to a set of numbers. Those numbers can be stolen and reproduced just the same as a password. 2) The other way to hack this is at gunpoint.

Challenge it how? Voting third party is mathematically a poor choice under our current voting system (watch the video). It isn't going to happen.
If by "challenge it" you mean educate lobby and work towards a more productive voting system, then yes I am all for that!

We must not have read the same bible.
Microsoft told me it was my fault they upgraded me to Windows 10 while I slept because I was wearing slutty clothes.

You're on to something here. I think she may turn out to be accused of not using a condom in Sweden.
So that explains why my battery life has tanked since I installed Runkeeper...
F' them.

Thanks! Problem solved. Microsoft gagged by permanent 'watchdog'.

"Hold your dear departed father up straight! Ok, now tilt his head to the left. No! HIS left!"
This has two problems:
1) At some point the face is reduced to a set of numbers. Those numbers can be stolen and reproduced just the same as a password.
2) The other way to hack this is at gunpoint.
