Btrfs is already the default file system for SuSE. I believe it is on par with ZFS and has a better roadmap. It's also GPL, which is ZFS's biggest problem.
Now if these jobs existed 3x years ago do you think I'd have served in the Army? Do you think I'd have struggled to put myself through 8 years of College as a restaurant manager instead of taking a TSA job?
Well, that tells me everything I need to know. What do you think is so easy about working a make work job that pays a practically subsistence wage. My guess is it's also a dead-end job, any serious agency or security company is going to look at them the way IT managers look at helpdesk people.
Here's the salary for TSA "officers", http://www.payscale.com/resear... FYI; I think they should just close down the whole thing, TSA does nothing (good for citizens).
I made a broad assumption about giving to charity, to what where you referring? The time I helped an old guy push his car out of the street and bought him gas when I noticed him rummaging for change in his floorboards? My point was I give and don't begrudge others the help they need. Government social programs are the most efficient way to help the most people. As to hinder more then help, there may be some truth in that. Policies that break apart families or prevent people from getting work because they can't afford the gap in benefits. Most of these issues are because someone in the right place wanted to cause harm. There are many subtle ways to flip a helpful program to hurtful, and unfortunately there is an army of people who do just that. Look no further then Kansas to see what happens when ideology trumps compassion. Truly, look no further then your own heart.
I'm going to educate you on starting below zero, with the assumption you've just never considered it. I'll start with foster kids who age out of the system, what sort of support system do you think they have? Many end up homeless. Next we have the children of the poor, some are unfortunate enough to have parents who steal their identities to open credit or turn on utilities. Imagine if you rented your first apartment only to find out you had to pay the electric company an old $400 bill before you could get your electricity turned on? Or you could have your parents prosecuted. Maybe you just have to take care of an sick parent, who has no other safety net? Maybe you have a child before your ready, either through your own poor decision, or because you have been raped. I could go on.
The world is full of struggle, I fail to see how it hurts me to help them. I want my children to live in a better world, not a bitter world.
The "welfare state" gives more hand-ups then any private social program out there. I could enumerate the many ways I try to make the world better through helping my fellow man, I start by NOT poisoning the well and/or begrudging the social safety nets that do exist.
Here's a quick reference article, in case you think private charities are some panoply that meets even a fraction of the need. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2013/mar/19/frank-keating/does-catholic-church-provide-half-social-services-/
Wow, It saddens me that this was modded +5. The poor aren't asking for a handout, their asking for a hand-up and a level playing field. Not everyone has your opportunity, although I'm sure you'll tell us all how hard you had it, a great story about how you started out with nothing. Plenty of people would be glad to start with nothing, instead of deep in the negative.
Pick up "Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920s", by Frederick Lewis Allen. The ebook is on Gutenburg Australia. It's an eye opening read, amazing to see how much history just gets repeated. All his books are good, I can't recommend them enough. My entire working life, started in 2001 has seemed like a slow motion replay of the 1920's.
DMV's have improved since today's climate doesn't allow the rampant cronyism that used to infect the DMV's of many states. When the DMV fees are a political kickback, your going to get poor service. Now that they aren't (as often), you get professional employees.
Sure, they're going to hire the new grad to generate new functions and make sure AI's are doing what their supposed to do. I'm not sure how your statement refutes any of the previous comments.
I mean I don't give a shit if Target wants pedophiles in the girls bathroom because they are too short sighted to see the actual problems with policies that are based on warm fuzzy feelings.
This heavily loaded statement seems to indicate you do care, just not as much as you care about other stuff that you want. Troubling to those of us who desire true personal freedom and equality.
I've said for years, they should put speed limits up to 100 on interstates and impound your car if you exceed that speed, sell it at auction. That would build a culture of respect for the law.
Immigrants are often starting from a low position, but they have a clean slate and they are often the best and brightest, or at least the most motivated.
Show me some citations where anybody gets back more then they pay in SS/medicaid deductions (don't forget the 6% they would be getting from their employer if it wasn't going to the fed). It doesn't happen, they are paying federal taxes, it's just a convenient lie to say they don't.
People hoarding money have mental problems. The biggest problem with BI is how difficult it makes for wealthy people to buy influence and push people around with their money. That's basically what most of these arguments boil down to.

shhh... Don't wake up his brain, he's been sleepworking for years.

Because the free market is a convenient fiction (convenient for some people).

Well said, the race to the bottom is not one we want to win.
Let's have a citation please, it's a civil issue.
Especially if you have student loans...:(
I wouldn't have the income I have without my degree, but I don't think my loans will be paid off before my children go to college.

Yeah, and checks are going away in the US...
You crazy kids...

To be fair, it's probably saturated on one port, wherever they want to gouge someone like Netflix.

The speed limit should be high enough that there is no reason to break it, with harsh punishments if you do. It shouldn't be an income source.
I've said for years, they should put speed limits up to 100 on interstates and impound your car if you exceed that speed, sell it at auction.
That would build a culture of respect for the law.

Wish I'd started adulthood with a clean slate...
Thanks for your anecdote, how hinderful.

Wish I had a mod point for you sir.

I actually upmod my foe's, I want to see what people are talking about.
You live in Florida and have money hidden from taxation in several jurisdictions.
