This problem could have been avoided if media companies had invested in the future when they were making money. Now it is too little, too late and the money that was made has been squandered by the owners and middle managers.
I think we are in a holding pattern. The last 100 years have advanced us tremendously as a species. Those gains need to be consolidated, and the old thinkers or chaff need to fall away. Either time, or some sort of massive upheaval will be necessary for more breakneck advancement. We are in a stage of steady adoption of new (to many) ideas, but there is a lot of back and forth. Eventually our momentum will only be forward.
Just because something has never been done, doesn't mean it will never be done. See if you can find some smallpox. We are also well on our way to eradicating Polio. How long did man exist without flight?
I can't give you any karma since I posted above, but your response is spot on. Old software with old hardware depending on old hardware is a disaster waiting to happen. Any part that can be, should be modernized in a way that does not prevent you from modernizing other components in a planned or as necessary upgrade.
Just like the guy who feels bad about getting another job when they need him so much at his company, then on day he get fired because the reality is however important he is, the owners will find a way to work around him or replace him when the need arises.
They want to do things on their schedule. Sometimes that is good, some delay can help to smooth out a well run operation. Usually it is a sign that the business is not well run or has found someone they can exploit. If you are saving a company $500k I hope you are getting at least 10%.
So, people are too stupid to make their own decisions. Contrary to evidence and ideals of free market ideology and the democratic process. Gotcha loud and clear...
I realize your probably trolling, but which kid should skip eating? More realistically, which month should I skip rent, because that's probably in the MRI cost range.
Why are rich people dying with money in the bank if it's a purely economic issue? Healthcare improves and gets cheaper the more we practice. I would prefer my doctor has performed a procedure on hundreds of other patients, then paying for and receiving cutting edge revolutionary procedures.
Depending on where and when you get injured that is a normal wait time in the US. How would you like to have no followup care and a crippling bill to worry about on top of that?
Yes, it takes vast resources. Why do we need to pay a middle man on top of that? Why do we each have to pay a different middle man with different rules and complicate things for both the provider and the patient? I have no problem paying for healthcare. I just think we need a national pool. That would truly equalize costs.
But people should be allowed to work for whatever wage they want, minimum wage is communism. Why is minimum hours any different? People will just decline those jobs and the market will fix it?
Wait, are you saying we need to improve our regulations, or are you advocating single payer?
Insurance needs to be decoupled from industry. It puts us at a competitive disadvantage and it makes coverage worthless when you really need it, since you can't work when you are in the hospital.
Single payer is the only system that makes sense, even discounting the huge savings inherent in such a system compared to our current system.
This has been an ongoing issue since America transitioned from a capitalist society to a manamentist society sometime in the 40's. This book outlines some of this and laments the way the management class has seized power, http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks05/0500881h.html

The problem is they aren't aimed at hobbyist/education, so they are expensive instead of cheap.

Please tell us the right way to do it.

WHOA! Labeling a product for transparency in the market place? Are you some kind of commie, the free market should... wait... what?
Supervision and discipline are the solutions you and your children are craving.
Yeah, my bionic can do all sorts of location based smart scheduling, but I don't keep location services turned on.
Some people think chmod 777 fixes everything...
I do pxe installs using the iso mounted on http or samba. I can elaborate.
I don't think you can safely share a running disk. You can clone to new servers. I would use a SAN to isolate my storage and simplify the management.
scp transfers are clippled on ESXI. The speeds are throttled to make it very painful to move files.
User car sales are taxed in the US also.

9/10, good troll.

I'll take a Death Panel over one guy reviewing and denying my claim, or a hospital admin tossing me in a cab or refusing to admit.
