Really? A court ruling against Vladimir Putin? Remember that rich businessman who dared to run for office against Putin? The guy who went to jail? And when he got close to the end of his term, that independent Russian judiciary just happened to find more charges against him?
yeah, trumpsky would LOVE to pull that kind of thing off... but we still have an independent judiciary. So he doesn't get to do it. So yeah, the USA has a FAR, FAR better judicial system than probably 90% of the countries on earth.
yeah, the USA has only worked for about 250 years, it probably isn't going to work forever. It's just worked as well or better than any government on this planet.
I'm sure it's abused. Just like I'm sure there are people calling themselves "software engineers" who leave behind steaming piles. The fake software engineers piss me off a lot more.
do you have any clue how little money you have to have to get food stamps? At one point I was "between jobs" (unemployed) and just for the heck of it, I looked into food stamps because I figured I had payed into the system for decades, why not benefit when I didn't have any income? And holy cow, the limit was something absurdly low. Basically you had to have NOTHING to be getting food stamps.
So if you leave your front door unlocked and I come in and remove some items, you're saying that that's ok, because you didn't make an effort to deter me?
Younger is cheaper. It's also less informed and less experienced. Which is why you see people making the same mistakes and learning the same lessons that experienced developers went thru decades ago.
As for the idea that older software engineers won't be up on new tech, it's not like younger developers were born with a different skillset. In the last 10 years I've worked on project with Java, C++, Ruby on Rails,.Net, and now a single page web app. It's not like there's any magic here, or that a younger dev would have done any better.
Right. Because a president who pulled us out of a recession, created years of steady growth and full employment, and brought health care to millions of people is the same as a psychopath who cares only that people worship him.
People like you are already blind, even if you don't know it.
Exactly! I couldn't remember the name but yeah, I loved Graffiti. Easy to learn, easy to use, no hunt & peck. Even had some shortcuts for common words.
What I miss about Palm was an early (PDA) version that had the "write letters with stylus" input. I know it sounds clunky but it was very easy to learn, and because it didn't require full letters you could input really really fast, far faster than I can input with the mini screen keyboard, because there was not hunting for keys and no hitting the wrong key. And it was even kind of fun. I really miss it.
Enough with the OMG Hillary BS. She's not president. Trumpsky is. And he's doing EXACTLY what every president before him has done... trying to apply pressure via China to stop NK. His "secret plans" are apparently so secret even he doesn't know what they are.
Why are people buying a product with crummy reviews anyway? Sounds like they don't have any choice, so perhaps they are deciding they'd rather get something that works poorly, than something that might not work at all.
I do exactly the same (although not as systematically). For example, when I buy games from Steam, if the negative reviews are centered around "too much DLC" I pretty much discount that, because I play games pretty slowly, so I don't care that I'm not getting "the full game" in one shot. If on the other hand the negatives complain about stuff I care about, I know to pass, even if the positive reviews are gushing about how wonderful the game is.
What does watching a live stream have to do with 7 years of copyright? It was LIVE. And the grandparent is right, w/o the pay per view the fight doesn't happen.
I'm on Windows 10 right now (actually, as I type this) and I don't have any of the problems you're having. It boots flawlessly every time, updates itself regularly with security patches, and the user interface is industry standard and eminently usable. It never crashes, and if a rogue program does it is isolated and easily dispatched. I can sit down at any workstation either at my place of employment or a friend's house and get right to work - no acclimatization needed. And I know that any software I want or need will run natively on my OS - no tricks, hoops, or work-arounds. I couldn't be more pleased.
Maybe it's more like not putting up a statue of Erwin Rommel in a Jewish neighborhood? You know, Lee didn't just fight on the losing side, he fought to enslave the ancestors of people who walk past that statue every day.

Right. They are all criminals.
Could you be more stupid?
No.

How did the hacker "stumble" on an open FTP server? That's not really the kind of thing you "stumble" upon.

You're correct, which means you will be modded down. Sigh...
Seriously? Can you imagine a court in Russia ruling against Putin?? In the USA the government often loses cases.
Yeah, who cares about the Native Americans who lived in North America for 10,000 years, history started when the white men showed up.

Right. Because Kim Jong Un wasn't pursuing ICBMS and nukes till comrade trumpsky came along.
Just because the USA is being run by a nutjob doesn't mean the NK isn't being run by a nutjob. It's not like there's only one such in the world.
Wow, the communist think is strong in this one.
As opposed to the current set of "only white Christians have rights, we can kill the rest of you" torch carrying Nazis?

Well, at least you can feel superior, that's something. Same way I feel when guys on slashdot start ranting about which which GUI they use.

You mean after the Nazis ran protestors over, the remaining people who were still alive were a little pissed? My goodness.
Maybe you ought to work on your analogies.
