    Haha. Until I read your reply, I thought he was making a joke, and government confusers were dumb and misinformed government employees dispersing highly dumb things verbally (like msmash). I didn't realize what was meant until your reply and was talking about precision.

    You may have noticed, people are not very productive trying to do daily work on a 4MB router flash. They also like to put graphics cards to use. Not sure why progress and technology needs to be explained on a nerds website. You might be trespassing.

    Jamming is as simple as aiming a high power, high duty transmitter using same frequency as the receiver. This is exactly the same whether the OS on board is 5, 20 or 50 years old, running linux, Windows or QNX. msmash, you are a piece of shit for posting intentionally shitty articles. I'm not sure if you're really, really dumb, or a really, really big asshole.

    I'm in Canada. We'd have developers from partners from Egypt ,Poland, India, Indonesia, and US. How well they fit depended on their English and their social capabilities. The Egyptians would take frequent prayer breaks, didn't smoke, didn't drink, didn't swear and they smelled. As any race, if you stink at work, you're going to have people talk about you behind your backs. The Polish guy had good English, but would only answer questions when trying to make conversation. I wish apk was more like him. The Indonesian was fun, outgoing and good for a laugh. The Indians could also joke. Sometimes you couldn't tell if they were serious or joking. One guy left a bad impression with me for greatly exaggerating/lying about qualifications. There was no fucking reason to lie about knowing how to drive when you can't. There was no pressure or requirement for him to drive. Also, the constant head bobbing is annoying and distracting to me. Many of the Indians at work had kids in minor hockey. Seeing these families wear jerseys and hang out in cold hockey stadiums is nice to see. When I grew up, there's like 1-4 families not white in our town. People were rascist without knowing. Kids growing up will have several non-white friends and so shouldn't be anywhere as bad in 10-20 years as 10-20 years ago. I was relieved to see Canada put more emphasis on English language than jobs. I know people who have lived in Canada for 30+ years and their English is still shit (most worked labour jobs without education and now their bodies are broken down, they don't have other skills, and English is pathetic). It's because they speak their native language at home instead of English. Greeks, Portuguese, Indians and Chinese, I'm looking at you.

    I remember in my Canadian textbook doing a unit on Latin America, a conversation where an Us kid says to a Latin American kid that he was "American" and the Latin American said "so am I". My takeaway is that Latin Americans felt butthurt about Canada and Americans not thinking of Latin Americans as American.

    How exactly is US protecting Canada? US policy says it won't protect Canada against missile strikes. I think you're mistaken as to who protects who. Protip: we got the motherfucking north bordering against Russia, not Mexico, a fucking ally. More Trump style made up shit about Canada.

    I don't think you know how much Canadian grown citizens value their Canadian identity vs US. I grew up in a Canadian town that was a US base in WWII and is largely built upon the American dollars that built that town. While we share a certain pride of helping our allies, it's really our allegiance to Canada and Britain than with the US. If US wanted to DISCUSS terms of joining without force, we'd sure show up at the table. But if someone said, "US is taking over Canada", the reaction will be "fuck that shit, over my dead body".

    You missed the part where Canada doesn't limit the country but you have Trump pushing laws to exclude certain countries, not even all the real bad ones. That's the xenophobic part you missed. (I believe there's also limits per country/region in US immigration as well).

    That's usually a sign you booted off the wrong drive when installing windows. A linux friend was complaining about similar and told me his boot configuration and it was wrong.

    National holidays are not included in vacation days, if that's what you thought.

  23. I was lead to believe shorter work weeks means more employment. Shit can't come to a standstill during all this vacation, so additional workers get employed.

    Most people find this out anecdotally. Very smart and capable people get dumb and make silly mistakes after 13 hours. The good ones recognize this and plan accordingly. That's why people who constantly operate this way are fucking dumb. So many times, long hours are wasted and the next morning after a good rest, someone comes up with the solution that solves the problem. I know some really, really smart people who forgotten more than most people know. Describe a difficult problem and they can offer a few useful suggestions that usually turn out right. Ask this person at hour 10, and the answer is no where as good. The other thing, so many people include their travel time as their work day, which is wrong. Leaving your house at 7am and returning at 7pm is not a 12 hour day if you work 8:30-5pm.
