The point here is that the difference between boys and girls is in part chemical. Give a boy a doll and he'll make it into a gun more often than not. I'm sure you'll scream social conditioning, and I really don't have anything to say to that. You don't appear all that open to others' ideas.
Nice how you ignore evidence you don't like. The GP's study was as close to double blind as you can get:: if you did a study where kids were treated as nongendered from birth and never taught what a boy and a girl are, you'd get drummed out of the profession and possibly arrested. Regardless, I know about these studies, and without any identifiable social influence, boys play at war more than girls. Something to do with their chemistry, I guess.
Why would it be that Obama carried the black vote so heavily, unless blacks are, overwhelmingly, racist? Demographic and typical party affiliation considered, it still doesn't account for the landslide "black" vote.
Why would a sane black man vote for the party of southern racists?
According to some studies over in europe, after pot was made 'legal', usage went down, so it may in fact increase usage. It's certain that banning alcohol made the related problems way worse, so it's reasonable to expect the same for pot. Also, teenagers have an easier time getting pot compared to booze, so that's what they do.
I believe you (that you were told this information), just that your professor is either an idiot or a liar. The licensing is done once at start up and then like every hour.
It's also possible that messing with license servers can cause instability and require a restart of some long-running calculation.
I'm amazed by your inability to use paragraphs. If you poke through the comments, you'll find roughly 3 camps: the OSS freaks who want to replace everything with OSS versions, disruption be damned, the people who assume management is using the IT guy as a fall guy and is in on the scam, and the ones who ran into a boss who didn't realize what they were in for.
Screw the first camp - this is not the time to go advocate OSS. The second camp is well advised to go get a different job. The third camp gets to do some good in the world and make friends with the big boss.
The common advice is to GTFO and call the BSA, largely because the guy at the top seems to be in on the unlicensed software. If it were me, I'd stay long enough to line up a different job.
Eh. Word usage changes over time. You can only do so much to put that genie back in the bottle no matter how much you'd like to.
You did know what he meant by using the word piracy, right?
You're failing to distinguish normal drift from the BSA's attempts to associate infringement with violently attacking of ships at sea. It isn't piracy until you start taking heads.
It's a civil case, so you don't have to prove it, just show a preponderance of evidence. If you come to the big boss with piracy concerns, document the level of piracy and refuse to add to it, that's a big finger pointing at the boss canning you for doing your job.
How is that legal? I can publish detailed designs for a nuke, or how to get away with murder, but god help us all if I give info on how to DOS a wiretap.
"I design a bridge, if it crashed twice a day and had security problems I'd be out of a career." he says jokingly.
"When your computer crashes, nobody dies", you say jokingly. Besides, you didn't design his computer, and bridges never get random things installed on them because of dancing bunnies.
Imagine a mechanic telling his brother-in-law "pay me for parts and labor, or just take it to the dealership". I can't imagine this. At the very best, I can imagine the mechanic saying "XYZ is probably wrong, I don't have the time to fix it, take it to RST and tell them ABC. They should be able to fix it for $HIJ"
Imagine a brother in law demanding this mechanic fix his car for free whenever he screws up the suspension from, i dunno, running over dogs.
Also, that mechanics are busy people and actually don't have time to fart around helping their families.
As a computer guy, I obviously have tons and tons of free time and nothing to do.
The only reason why she did vet school instead of med school (truth be known vet school is more difficult to get into) is because she likes animals better than people.
You know, I can't really argue this - if you find a stray dog, take it home, and feed it for a year, you can be pretty sure it won't bite you. Humans are somewhat less reliable.
So now I'm stuck fixing an OS I told them, directly and point-blank, would not work. I should just say, "You ignored my advice. You bought Vista when I said to buy XP. Now it's your problem." But I don't. I'm too nice.
You aren't nice, you're a pushover and they know it. Man up and stop supporting the crap they got against your advice. Either that or tell them that the next time will cost them $50/hr.
As for Macs they are good systems but expensive.
The initial cost is reasonable but the frequent
software or hardware upgrades add-up fast.
What frequent upgrades? Every 4 years on a desktop? You don't have to get the latest whiz bang OSX version.
It isn't a sixth sense, it's called paying attention. If you don't want to download malware, be particular about what you download and certainly don't download from some goofy site you've never heard of with a million hucksterish links on it.
actually, yes. One webserver means no loadbalancing hardware to fail. LB is a mature tech and means that you can treat your N web servers as independent and also scale boxes out individually instead of in pairs.

most of the gay men I've meant have been fairly masculine. The mincing pansy is really the exception.

the point here is that photorealistic stuff isn't any bigger than a photo
how big is video?
What about clueless loser sociopaths? How do we^H^Hthey communicate? Or do they just use all of these different "languages" to talk to themselves?
They burn down the building. Duh...

that's why he said if
Then you're going to jail for sure - wiping apps off a company's machine without auth? That might even be a felony.
well, unless they're a small company and get bankrupted by the audit shitstorm. Then you're screwed.

We allow cell phone providers to lock down phones and charge ETFs. If we banned those practices, the prices would drop.

it's one thing to ask for private tech support, but demanding freebies for your business is way out of line - has she asked for further support?
