You just don't understand network gear. Theres no way for network gear to try and grok what it is you're trying, and the top layer networking (BGP) is so much black magic - there is no theoretical basis for it to work, it just sort of does, mostly. The simple stuff lives in the leaf nodes and does stuff like switch traffic for a single segment on a lan.
Dude, you were 5. Outwitting a 5 year old isn't exactly rocket science.
Spoken like someone who's never tried. When I was 5, I convinced a psychologist that I was afraid of water (for fun) and got him to try and cure my phobia. Treating 5 year olds like dunces is a good way to get owned.
Sure, he doesn't understand all of it, but belies your above paragraph, he is the definition of average, and tries (with good success) to stay ahead on current scientific events.
I've got news for you: you dad ain't average. He's uneducated (or just unschooled), but he's yards ahead of the average guy who cares more about football and hockey than cosmology.
Oh, they'll come out if you call them. If you don't have fire insurance, they just wet down your neighbors' house. Happens a lot in the South and Texas.
Race is probably some minor factor in IQ, but so what? It's dominated by all sorts of non race linked traits, especially upbringing. It's easy to point to something like a New Orleans welfare family and say that race is the cause, but the main reason is almost always parental expectations and involvement.
That stereotypical 'women's interests' are less valued and thus less rewarding than stereotypical 'men's interests.'"
Perhaps some of them are less valued because they're less valuable. Teaching can be done by anyone reasonably well. Nursing is a low status thing, but is in fairly short supply, so you'd expect that the salary would go up. Secretaries are incredibly valuable, but that's mostly a male profession, for whatever reason.
I hate to bring up the whole free market, but people pay as little as they can get away with to get a competent person in that role, so if women are underpaid, that should work itself out. The amount they make isn't related to what they're worth.
Big deal. It's fact that boys are not girls; the differtences exist, and it's a question of determining which are social conditioning and which are innate. However, you seem to be proceeding from the assumption that they are all social, which just ain't so.
Anyway, if you have some studies about the innate interests by gender, I'd love to see them, as your choice of career is governed more by personality that ability.
Spoken like a Grad student. When you get out in the world, you will realize that the magic equations allow you to do things like avoid unproductive paths and design for maintenance. It's not about doing more, but doing the right thing first.
Hard working people in Redmond? Sure, but the VPs have their heads so far their asses it doesn't matter. Seriously, your sarcasm aside, I'm not about to buy something just because it's american - that's just stupid.
Nobody lives on $1/year. Some live on $1/day, but that number is going down. That said, I'm not going to slit my throat for the benefit of some poor people half a world away I'll never meet. Do for your own first.
Dumbass. This isn't about immigration, and nobody's being anti-immigration, they're being anti illegal alien, which isn't even related to the Tata outsourcing thing.
The fact is, calling me entitled for wanting enough money to live reasonably while doing a valuable service is absurd - I would like to own a house and send my kids to college, but a few greedy VPs can threaten that because it benefits them personally - it probably won't help the company, but I'd still be out of a job.
And yes, I am entitled to a fair shake, same as the last generation; it's the duty of the government to advocate for that, but instead, they're selling us out. I'm pissed about that, can you imagine?
Correct, it's not a racist statement - it's an ethnicist statement. the only way it would be racist is referring to the human race as a whole, not an ethnic subgroup.
No, what you call ethnicist is in fact racist; you can't just make up new words and expect people to accept them. That said, the statememnt isn't racist, it's culturalist and talks to differences in culture and education. It's also accurate.
Jesus Christ! they dare to do exactly what their contract clearly states!
This isn't about that, it's about the spec: I can't say 'go add a credit processor interface for experian and integrate it with our existing system', I have to describe exactly what is to be done and anticipate all deviations from the promised behavior on both sides of the communication. If I can do that, I may as well write the damned thing myself.
handy when isolating layers for testing purposes. You can also do pre and post injection to add horizontal features like logging without touching everything.
Really now, what do you expect from your OS? It's a foundation that you build on - the last big thing has been the ability to virtualize (like with mainframes), but aside from that, it's been stable, and that's a good thing.

Well, except for nixon...
You can certainly opt out of fire services. Just hope you never have a fire.
The problem with a part of the spectrum where "anything goes" is that broadcasters could be drowned out by competitors.
Yup. That's the only real reason for having the FCC.
Yeah, maybe 5% less. It's not much.

Which is fine as long as you keep in mind what is behind the paper.
Concrete. If I have to shoot a person, .40hp has relatively low overpenetration, and .223 frangible shatters if you look at it funny.
I shoot paper, not people. Sometime in the future, I may shoot deer, I dunno. All that (and people too) are legal to shoot depending on circumstances.
But yeah, casual hookups for free is a valuable service, although I doubt the M/F ratio is near 1:1
But no guns. Heaven forbid you buy a scope on craigslist :)

Throwing a hundred trainees at a job is closer. Also known as Mongol horde technique.
Depending on the audience, I just call it the Mongolian Clusterfuck, because that's usually what happens.

Yeah, he'd just rap on top of some guy reciting the RigVeda or something.
