Seems to me that there are plenty of sites on the internet for uneducated people. It may be that many of those populating/. nowadays would be better served by those other sites.
Thank you. I was surprised when I saw so few comments to this article. Then I started reading them and started to see why. Reading comprehension is just as "fail" today as is writing ability. I had zero problem interpreting the sentences, interpolating the necessary information to understand what is by definition a small, incomplete summary of an incredibly complex set of projects and tasks.
Yeah. I've survived several layoffs. A big part of that was being the one that was fixing the issue at 5:01pm. And may or may not come in the next day. It takes a while for mgmt to learn to trust an employee for one to be able to do that. Typically when they gain that trust the emp will get changed from hourly to salaried.
The quality of the trolls has decreased precipitiously. The classic trolls of yesteryear have devolved to puerile memes flung about as a chimp with their feces.
Govt openly admits to reality! News at 11! As Douglas Adams said, "People are a problem". Sadly, this is the way humans do things. Revolutionaries allatime kicking the old bosses out. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"./endofmorningrambletimeforcoffee
Thanks, great explanation. I used to know much of this, and, not really needing it, forgot much of it. You brought me back up to speed. Plus a little bit about the FM that I never realized.
In fact, their armored trading fleet is being readied right now...to back up negotiations for that bit of prime real estate closest to Sol.
Perhaps we could trade Mercury for one of their worthless water worlds. As the Centaurians like to say, "If you like mucking about in the slime, we will view you, but we will not see you". (It loses something in the translation)
Once something becomes "large-scale", resources have to be gathered. Politics is a process that humans use to allocate resources. The other effective process that humans use is war.

"if only to get the SID ICs in them. No emulator has been able to faithfully reproduce the audio coming out of those."
Yeah, those 3 oscillators could wind right through your head.
Anyone seen my 1541 floopies?

Really? That comment was your tipping point? I think you're done too.
Humans and their cultures have generally decided that the propagation of more humans is *the* important thing, and pretty much overrides all else.
Or perhaps anthropologists and mythologists.

Turn in your nerd card. Thanks for playing.
Interesting.
Bing on Manbang ok. Prease no Google on Manbang.
...unless perform courtesy wipe.
And how does this go with the general "Don't fuck with us" message they try to send to the rest of the world? I somehow get mixed messages here.
It's another simple mis-translation. A more correct wording would be "Don't fuck at us".
That actually sounds worse.
Sad that most of our working lives sum up to little more than a rounding error.

I won't miss the incessant "We're number one" that Americans love to preach, when it's clear to the world you fail at so much.
Yeah, that has to get old. Too bad humans, in groups large or small, like to do that.

We'll have to re-institute the draft, of course. You better hope you get a low number.
Ach, what am I saying? You're not military age. Silly me. Generally, only people who no longer have to risk it are the ones that prefer to pursue war.
Having said that...what you said...
"Just this once, can't we have a large-scale scientific issue characterized by science and fixed by engineers?" ...I totally agree with your sentiment.
Annie Nonymous(sp) has it right.
Once something becomes "large-scale", resources have to be gathered. Politics is a process that humans use to allocate resources. The other effective process that humans use is war.
Nonsense. She didn't invent cancer. She colluded with Big-Pharma to block the cure. C'mon people, we got to keep our memes straight!
Ah, I see what you're doing! Bait and switch!
Kudos.
Must be that pesky first amendment crap again.
