They claim the bolt-guns used to kill cattle and pigs are humane. Use those.
After all, it's not like there is anything "humane" about an execution. Stop candy coating the situation. Blow their damned heads off with a 12-guage at close range -- the brains will be all over the wall before the neurons have a chance to register pain. Sure it's ugly, but so is all death.
Which is exactly what everyone does to downplay the issues at hand. They point to the worst violations of the Nazis and claim "but they haven't gassed any Jews", as if that makes it ok to engage in:
- Robocalls
- Senate scandals
- Duffy
- Losing a couple of billion dollars
- Blaming all woes of the world on the Muslims instead of the Jews
- Inciting hatred and fear of the Muslim population
- Infringing on people's rights to free speech and association with Bill C-51
- Trying to implement secret police without appropriate oversight
- Repeatedly trying to spy on people over the internet while claiming that anyone who doesn't agree "is with the child pornographers"
- Guts the environmental protection legislation that prevents their industry buddies from raping the country for profit
- Censors the work and reporting of the scientific community ... and so on and so on.
You don't have to "kill the Jews" to stomp all over the rights of Canadians.
But apologists like you would like to paint the world as a happy, happy place just because mass murder isn't happening.
The big problem with comparing someone to Hitler or their rule to the Nazis is that nobody takes the warning signs seriously until it's too late, like with ISIL. Harper is guilty of so many anti-democracy actions and downright un-Canadian legislation in this country that has been overturned by our courts it's not even funny.
In all seriousness, the man should be arrested and tried for treason.
I use a monitor that has built in speakers with an HDMI cable to the box provided by my IPTV provider.
The built-in tuner that that monitor has is completely useless because the only places in Saskatchewan that still have TV broadcasts are Regina and Saskatoon -- the towers in every other location across the province were shut down when the switch to digital was made.
You can't use the digital tuner with the IPTV or cable providers here; you have to use audio/video or HDMI inputs.
Let's face it: outside of a few metropolitan areas, broadcast TV is already dead. Once the broadcasters got a taste of cable companies paying them carriage fees, OTA broadcasts were doomed.
There's a cheaper solution. I believe it's called a "trucker's chain." Even if your wallet falls out of your pocket, it just dangles a foot or two below your belt loops.
It never runs out of batteries, doesn't require installing an app, doesn't require a smartphone, and doesn't let the whole world know you forgot your wallet by blaring sound effects.
What I really have to laugh at is the fact that now you have to carry both your wallet and your smartphone with you all the time for this concept to work. I don't mind carrying my wallet all the time, but being forced to carry the smartphone just to keep the wallet quiet seems kind of asinine to me.
The fact that he's a piss-poor businessman doesn't make it any less a commercial enterprise. He could be losing money on the deal, and it would still be a commercial enterprise.

Yeah, but all the critical project data gets imaged to GitHub and to another machine, so there is no need to back it up from the SSD to a platter. When it only takes 10 minutes to restore data from offsite, there isn't much point backing it up to multiple devices locally (unless they're on different machines, of course.)
I'd like a mix of drives on my next box. A moderate "traditional" spinning oxide 1TB drive with a lot of cache for the primary boot, swap, and home directories, and an SSD mounted as my project workspace under my home directory. The work directory is where I do 99% of my writes, producing roughly 3GB for one particular project in about an hour's time.
My existing drive on my main box has survived a god-awful number of writes, despite it's 1TB size. My work is emphatically I/O bound for the past month or so, since I did some bug fixing and tuning, so switching that project directory over to an SSD would speed things up even for this aging 3.8 GHz P4 single core. But not enough to justify the investment in just an SSD without a boost in memory, CPU, and memory bandwidth.
I've got my eye on a Lenovo i7 unit for about $900, plus SSD, but it'll take about a year to save up the money. On the bright side, either the specs on the unit will improve or the price will come down with an intervening year before purchase.:D
Or maybe Mr. CowHARD will actually read my Crackbook profile and let the cat out of the bag that I'm a medical cannabis user, as if that's supposed to embarass me any more than a photo I made public does.
LOL. Kids these days.
They have no idea what freedom there comes from "getting old." 99.99% of people my age and older look like they've been run over by a truck. It's called "age".
Not to worry, though. Mr. CowHARD will learn what it is to be "old" soon enough.:D
Hardly. Just pointing out that while cool and all, it's not freeing you from needing to carry a smart phone. To me the whole point of a smart watch would be to get rid of the smart phone.
Your company needs to have proper penetration testing done. Hire/contract someone to do it.
This is one of those areas of computing where it is not a good idea to learn as you go and build up the skills and experience in-house, because any mistakes you make are going to leave the company liable and possibly cost them some serious money.
If you want to learn about it on your own time and play with the corporate systems to do it, and they have no problem with you doing that, then by all means go ahead and learn.
But don't take on responsibility for the security of the corporate systems until you know what you're doing.
While the idea of a "wrist communicator" sounds almost as cool as a Star Trek chest badge, I just can't see spending hundreds of dollars on such a thing when I don't even own a "smart phone" because I rarely leave the house. Quite frankly, I don't see the point of devices that have to be tethered to a smart phone, because that means you still have a pocket full of phone to bend or break.
When no one wants you to work for free, it's time to recognize that you have some serious personality and skillset defects.
I've never worked on an open source project other than my own, but I've spent many a long hour with the "negative contributors" in the business world since around '87. Unfortunately, we never could get rid of those people on the project teams because they were always managers and "key business users" (i.e. The worst employee in a customer department that they wanted to shuffle off onto someone else, such as working on another department's project instead of in their own.)
The thing is, sometimes those complaining users are a goldmine of information who just have a tough time explaining themselves. One of the shop floor managers at my second "permanent" job with Northern Telecom was a real hard case. He'd pin you with a barrage of questions, berate you for not meeting his needs, and was just generally a real asshole to most of the people he dealt with. But if you were able to answer his questions for a couple weeks and could take care of a couple of the backlogged items on his "need" list, he became an absolute joy to work with.
You see, the man was just jaded by decades of working with "elite" programmers who wouldn't listen to him about how the shop floor should be running. For years and years and years, the engineers and programmers had done what they thought was right for systems design instead of listening to the people who would be using it. It turns out he had tremendous insight into the way his people were actually doing their work, and how the computer systems could fit into that workflow instead of being a hindrance.
I've also dealt with people who were just cranky deadweight, contributing nothing of value to any of the projects they were on. Alas, they couldn't be fired without going through channels. Only once did I manage to get someone who was so negative terminated by a company. They reported to me, and were so poisonous to the department that productivity improved 20% after they left -- without hiring a replacement. It turns out they spent so much time complaining in meetings and during "cube visits" that they were slowing everybody in the department down, as well as stressing everyone out with their negativity.
So, yes, there are people who should be fired -- even if they aren't getting paid in the first place. But before you write someone off as being a belligerent know-nothing, take the time to talk to them and learn if their concerns and issues are legitimate. You could be missing out on some valuable opportunities by writing off someone with poor communication skills as being "just an asshole."

Trucker wallets have zippers. I call "bullshit" on your story of dumping the contents of your wallet by pulling on the chain.
I use a monitor that has built in speakers with an HDMI cable to the box provided by my IPTV provider.

No, I doubt they were running apt. That's for Debian-derived systems, not Windows boxen. :P

"Cover up" and "media management" are US traditions.
"Justice" died a long time ago. About the same time the bar association came on the scene.
Expecting anything like "honesty" from a department that shoots or otherwise kills unarmed civilians is insane.
Where did I say every *nix system without a qualifier?
I don't program toys like smell phones.
time_t has been 64 bits on every *nix system I've used for over a decade.
Why in the name of any sanity at all would NTP not have been updated by now?

Oh, like "wow, man."
He dug up my public Facebook pic.
Scary shit, eh? Next thing you know he'll look up my Linked In profile and tell you where I worked... :P :P :P
It's the webframe, Captain! She kenna take any more data...
Well, the gold one will still be shiny, even if it stopped booting three years ago... :P
Hardly. Just pointing out that while cool and all, it's not freeing you from needing to carry a smart phone. To me the whole point of a smart watch would be to get rid of the smart phone.
What makes you think the CEOs, boards, and investors ever gave a shit about your jobs, peon?
Heh. You think the stereotypical Slashdotter living in Mom's basement ever leaves the house? :P :P :P
Sure, I have my own place, but it may as well be the folk's basement for as much as I leave it. :D
