I've been in these environment before. Sometimes it comes from the top down and sometimes there is a middle manager doing it and the top is clueless. Thank God I don't have to deal with that anymore. At one of my previous positions there is not a single person that was in the IT dept that is still in IT 4 years later (except me).
Employers don't pay unemployment, it is not like paying two employees. You are misinformed or deliberately misleading. Employers do pay an unemployment insurance rate which can increase if their frequently putting people on unemployment, but it is much less then any individuals salary.
Opera on my phone threw a cert warning. I plan to test some apps to see if they send any sort of warning. It probably depends on the programmer. I wonder how many apps actually use https instead of http...
The cert was not a kroger cert, it was something else and I did actually call the police because I thought it was a rouge access point someone had set up on the parking lot. It appears to be in the store's deli. I'm debating whether I should follow up to ascertain if they are aware it is set-up the way it is and how that could potentially open them up to liability.
Neither HTTPS or SSH can be sniffed if you can properly authenticate your endpoint. I can still perform a Man-in-the-Middle attack if you are careless or uneducated. Given the right circumstances, I may be able to get my CA added to your browser.
I discovered an access point at my local kroger that decodes and SSL certs and replaces them. I'm curious how many phone apps will even notice this is happening. I plan to do some testing.
I switched from cable to a theoretically slower DSL connection and was amazed at the difference. Yeah the cable will pull down a 100MB file in 10 seconds and the DSL takes 30 seconds, but when you get into higher file sizes, like 600MB, or 1.6GB the DSL keeps chugging away while the cable drops of speed significantly.
I agree with your main point. However, life gets in the way. You will never employ 100% of people who want to work. You will never have 100% awesome parents with sound financial judgement. People are imperfect. Some of us are willing to accept that and try to make the world a better place where we. can all enjoy our time on earth.
Providing welfare and
food stamps is way more efficient then increasing the foster system and opening more prisons. We don't.need more desperate people. You are stressing over minuscule amounts and throwing out pie in the sky solutions.
Incidently, when is the last time you have repaired something, anything. I do it all the time. they, literally, don't make things the way they used to. Inexpensive things fall apart or fail in a way that requires expensive parts that are almost impossible to get. even expensive things are often junk, you can't go by brand or price to predict durability or maintainability. I'm cheap I wear white socks, there is absolutely no way they could be darned when they start getting holes, they are practically cheesecloth.
I can't argue with anecdotes, they have no meaning in the real world. I agree that people should not be lifted up to a higher comfort level with government hand outs. However, we apparently disagree about whether that is happening anywhere in the US. I challenge you to find a reputable source that provides some sort of factual basis to back up your argument, I don't think you will find one. I have been reading "Slaughterhouse-Five" and happened to read this part, which jumped out at me. This was published in 1969, probably before you were born.
When you grew up poor, you worked your way out of it. Why do you believe others are content to stay poor? You are only citing anecdotes and personal feelings.
It's hard to believe there are people out there with such poor critical thinking skills. Unfortunately I know it is true because I am related to some...:(
Think about what you are saying and analyze what you are told. There is nobody "living large" on the Dole. There is only 1 ocotomom, she is the very definition of a statistical outlier. Would her kids be better of in the foster system? I think the doctor that performed her in-vitro procedure should be on the hook for child support, or at the least a significant settlement.
Just because someone manages money poorly, they are not an unfit parent. We should be providing them educational services to go with their income assistance, but there is no budget because of people like you.
Either you are trolling, or you don't believe in a social safety net. I'm not going to change your mind. You are letting the pundits poison your brain with anecdotes and lies. I posted some statistics to back up my claims and I stand by them.
"Looking at this segment of American business, we would almost find it appropriate to call our present economic system "managementism" rather than "capitalism."
There is an old saying about walking a mile in someone else's shoes, I believe it applies here. I think it is easy for a certain kind of person to believe there are people that love living in poverty, however, there are not.
The entitlement society is a myth, or I prefer GOP Bogeyman. I myself have grown out of the scared of the Bogeyman phase of my life, right around my 9th birthday if I recall. When are you going to catch up? http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=3677 (citation)
Hi, I'm a little L libertarian who believes we should have a single payer system and everyone should be entitled to a minimum health care. I agree with you 100% about the stupidity of all those people bitching about "liberals" in power. I saw that douch, Ted Nugent, on the news because he said if Obama was elected again he said he would be dead or in prison and I immediately said to my wife, "yeah, because Ted Nugent has been crippled by the Obama administration."
There is so much infighting and single issue voting that frustrates the hell out of me. I hear radical pro-lifers talking about welfare queens having babies to get food stamps and it drives me crazy. I have absolutely no problem paying people to stay home and take care of their children. Why is it OK to subsidize daycare but not subsidize a stay at home parent? If all the effort put into demonstrating against abortion or birth control was instead put into insuring that every child had a loving home and an adult to look after them, our country would rise from it's ashes. I want more safety nets.
If people could quit a job without losing their health insurance, our economy would explode. There would be so many new businesses, it would be an amazing sight. Unfortunately this would be bad for the established companies that need drones.

If you are regularly using "public" wifi without a VPN or some other sort of encryption, you are living dangerously.

Wife 2.0 is much more expensive then wife 1.0, plus there are usually system hooks in wife 1.0 that are almost impossible to purge.
Viewing your sig alongside your post tends to indicate you have a predilection towards gross exaggeration.
Interesting, but this does nothing to change the stereotype of a backwards people who are stuck in the past. It tends to reinforce.

There are always outliers. We, as a society, are cutting off our nose to spite our faces.

People didn't die of food poisoning in droves before the government stepped in.
I see you are not a student of history, here is some good reading, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_history_of_food_regulation_in_the_United_States
This is also interesting and predates the 1906 pure food and drug act, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_beef_scandal
The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair is also a good read.
