No, it is NOT a completely appropriate response. Using a 45 year old Gen 1 design, that's performed admirably in this situation, is not a legitimate reason to rail against Gen 4 designs. Where's Car Analogy Guy when we need him to work something up comparing the Model T to the Tesla.
Of all the abusive monopolies they choose to go after, this is who they pick? Facepalm. Well, it's a start. I guess someone was late on their campaign donations.
um, bullshit. You cannot claim that a single e-reader is difficult to share with two people, then turn around and claim that two books can be shared with two people. Epic fail. You share one kindle the same way you share one book: either give it to them or you both read the same page at the same time.
How many books can be placed on a Kindle? That is, how many free works can be pre-loaded onto the device? Now every Kindle recipient has a huge library. Contrast that with getting multiple dead-tree copies of all of those works (which take up a lot more space and cost a lot more to ship). At some point, dead-tree books are the way to go. But there is a cross-over point where Kindles are better.
*Kindle = Kleenex = generic => insert your e-reader of choice.
There's no such thing as "loyalty" to a brand for an employee. If Pepsi expects me to drink just Pepsi products regardless of the forum or venue that I'm attending then I'll be submitting a claim for cost plus time. That's a minimum two hours travel and two hours work, and there's a good chance it'll be overtime. And I'm claiming mileage as well. Oh, and my corporate-shill rate is higher than my just-doing-my-job rate. I'll consume whatever I damn well please and they're just going to have to get over it.
I work in a hospital, in the department controlling this. I really don't think you understand what's happening. Do you honestly believe that telemetry is on the same network as everything else? Or that we don't have multiple networks?
Maybe that's how it works at *your* hospital, but not at *mine* (I work in diagnostic imaging, which is under IT at my hospital). At my hospital we've known this was coming for quite some time and have been working towards it. And the Feds have also known it's been coming and have been working with us. Early adopters get big $$$ to help the process. That amount goes down the closer they come to the due date. They start to get penalized once the due date passes, losing more and more $$$ as time goes on, until it actually becomes an issue about 5 years after the deadline.
If you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, grab your gun and go outside. If you're the only one outside carrying a gun, go back inside. It isn't time yet.
You are ignorant. You, as a doctor, have the *privilege* of operating on people, as part of your license, so long as the conditions to keep your license are maintained.

I'll concur. Parent was standing Feed Control Operator in Engine Room Upper Level. I was standing Feed Pump Operator in Engine Room Lower Level. Our watch stations had to talk on head sets to coordinate.
Maybe you should try following the thread? He started out civil. Another individual came on and called him crazy or a liar (recipient's choice) and ended with saying that anyone who agreed with him is a moron, implying that he, too, is a moron. The golden rule attaches: The respondent indicated how he likes to be treated and the OP obliged.
"So even in theory, this doesn't really pan out: nobody in MLB makes it to home-plate on an outfield hit."
There are numerous inside-the-park home runs every season. Common? No, not really, but they happen often enough that to say that "nobody..." does it leads me to believe that you (and those who modded you) don't actually watch baseball. That's fine; it's not for everyone. Kindly refrain from commenting on it if you don't actually know what you're talking about. I know, I know, this *is*/.
How were you mod'ed "Insightful?" The U.S. 1st Amendment has nothing to do with slander/libel laws in a civil context, which this is. It's about preventing the Federal government from censoring its citizens.
Possibly they're not "upholding" the US court ruling, but rather, they're not finding contrary to what a foreign court has found. Splitting hairs? Maybe. The one SCOTUS case that I heard oral arguments for (yes, in person) was a jurisdictional issue. A US merchant had already been found against by the Chinese Admiralty, he didn't like it, counter-sued in the US and it made it's way up to SCOTUS. I think it was Ginsberg that came right out and asked why they should create an international incident by "over-ruling" a foreign court. Sharp lady.

Sorry bro, but you completely missed the point.

Are all of you who work for asshole-bosses also assholes?
I am, and I don't need to blame it on my PHB. Friends have introduced me to others as such. Acceptance is the first step.
...But you are correct in that this is not really about "open source" government at all, which would allow anyone to contribute...
Isn't that democracy?
(or do you really want to debate it and get into the finer points of a representative republic?)
We bail you out of from your greedy stupidity and this is your thank you? Looks like someone needs their corporate charter revoked.

She denies that their service creates a two-tier internet, then goes on to describe their service which, is to create a two-tier internet. Nice.

IOW, computer systems that host WL docs are classified and USAF computers are not?
All is hear is the studios screaming at me that they don't want my money every time I open my wallet.

First, I have to question your background due to your use of the phrase, "Scary smart."
Second, given the sorry state of things now, I think you just proved why we shouldn't be listening to you and your ilk.
