In fact, I are one. We all do front line support. We do this because we work for a tiny company, and what we do is esoteric. Troubleshooting is informative, a source of debugging and QA. Most of is have a good understanding of how the software is used. Some don't. Spending time walking through the system with articulate EUs (especially with other interested parties listening, following, and understanding) pays incredible dividends.
Everyfucking thing a company does happens because there is money.
The company is a device to put money in the pockets of those who own / fund / control it. The company doesn't exist to employ you. The company doesn't exist to invent things. The company doesn't exist to further the state of the art. The company exists to enrich the people who own / fund / control it.
Welcome to Earth. Feel free to convey the lesson to your home planet.
No, not even close. How about Masonism as misinterpreted as the golden plates of Moroni?
Colored people being banned from LDS membership until the repeal of the Jim Crow laws? Polygamy being revoked by revelation on the heels of being deemed illegal?
LDS has a history of convenience - of accepting change when no better option exists.
Then rephrase the question without using scary math words. Say you're on a long drive, and you notice you are 150 miles from your destination. You're moving about 70 miles per hour. How long will it take to get to your destination? What if you had a deadline and needed to be there in two hours? How fast would you need to go? What if you need to stop for gas, too? How long could you be stopped given a particular average speed?
Algebra is incredibly useful even when not considered algebra. Or maybe most people just numb themselves with XM and floor it.
Amen, though the money did reach out and steal me back. I worked as a deckhand on the Lower Missisippi, pushing coal from St. Louis to Baton Rouge. Outdoors, physical, tough...I loved it. But I got a call from an old client, offering a lot (to me, deckhands don't make much money) to come to work for them. I gave it a shot, decided it was worth it, and left the river. I miss it every day, but I know that I've been given a chance I can't pass up. Besides, as long as I'm strong and willing I can get a job on a towboat.

Seriously.
Take a halve second to consider what you posted.
Words mean things.

The man can lay groundwork like no ones business, but his closings suck.
Absolute strawgrabbing bullshit.
you have to lift off the throttle and then stomp on the brake to stop
Naw.
I use one foot for the brake and the other for the gas.
It's like a two-button mouse for your vehicle.

But this causes you to identify with education, not clinical insanity?
Please, let these be different projects.
Someone with access to children ought not see mobile impressionable critters as candidates for takeover.
(Though education not always mean educating children, it tends to mean educating children.)
I keep breathing.
I'm a slave to my metabolism.

That isn't the MO of a god.
"I have on record"
Yes, that's authoritative.
Hi, I'm Tim and I want a secure browser.
Oh, good, some random fuck on Slashdot trusts this site, it must be secure.
There's a world beyond your comfort zone, and your walls may have been breached.
" Most developers are benevolent. People have tried to create exploits with the Linux kernel, but they have been weeded out."
The ones that have been noticed may have been weeded out.
Newbies...paranoia can't be soothed.
So...the one that was noticed was noticed?
Excellent circular reasoning.
Don't panic, don't flame, think about what you wrote.
"I'm getting board"
Board, bored, nuance.

Checksums from a compromised source are trustworthy?

Someone gave me a copy of the Book of Mormon.
I told him I'd be thrilled to read it if he'd read my copy of _The Godmakers_ (he declined).
It's a shame you didn't take advantange of the English classes, or maybe read the occasional book.
A broad vocabulary is a wonderful thing.
Tooting one's own horn is one thing - using miserable language to do it is another.

I know, this is slashdot, but just because a thought entered your head doesn't mean you're correct.
Anyway.

How many ACs does it take to put in a lightbulb?
One, but it takes a surgical team to remove it.
A drift-fence post attacked you in your sleep?
Or you caused yourself serious injury by physically assaulting a drift-fence post.
You wrote it, great.
Why should a random third party make it possible, let alone easy, to access the shittings of yor keyboard?
