Sir, As an old timer slash dotter I commend you for keeping it together, the economy is improving, with luck The probability of you finding jobs increases. Or if you so choose you can come to the UK here we have no shame of government intervention and have an excellent disability benefits system including mental damage and even for just plain unemployment
It is unreasonable to expect the average Uber passenger to check all of the drivers insurance details before getting in the vehicle, so yes government control is required
Deal with bullying managers that impose tight immovable deadlines in front of senior management, and then when I tell them to reset the client's expectation and blue sky renegotiate the entire contract with the client because the deadline is unachievable in front of senior management they get upset and then start bullying you and physically attacking you and I walked into a Police station and the Police officers refused to take my official report of a harassment incident. I wouldn't get any witnesses anyway because they were junior management and everyone's scared of their careers - they all have families to feed. That was in my old company, now in my new company my predecessor's predecessor had a breakdown and tried to commit suicide, but these get covered up by corporate management.
Let's be clear: If the government wants you, they're gonna get you. The laws aren't there to uphold social norms, they're there to club you over the head and drag you off in a way that seems justifiable to the unwashed masses, should the authorities so choose to do so
So what do you want - for the government instead of using laws, lawyers and judges to use some sort of random voodoo guesswork? Get the bad laws changed!
At my last job we had constant RAID failures due to an SQL Server database running ten thousand transactions a second all day every day with no break including weekends. Only EMC Clariion storage array was reliable enough and it hasn't had a single failure for three years apart from HDD failures upon which it automatically pages EMC. Their salespeople are idiots but their design engineers are good. During the dotcom boom they did the best hardware, dont insult their storage hardware which is damn good
I bet that just finding the server that the content is cached on among the millions of servers Google has would require some sort of debug mode to operate on their main search engine which would require them to more than double their server power overnight. Just ask Linus Torvalds if the linux kernel was witched to debug mode with full verbose logging, how much performance penalty it would have
They have taken an oath as servants of the people, but instead, seek to rule over them as their masters and confiscate/limit the fruits of their labor and give them to those who have not earned it in exchange for political favor, and try to control what private citizens spend their own money on, while limiting the amount of success someone is allowed to attain.
So the poor have no Right to food, what a horrible uncivilised unChristian country, would be ridiculed at the United Nations, have them depend on what - Christian charity? As a scientist I know that if a population is starving the likelihood of shootings and stabbings increases, which all American citizens do not want. Do a poll - How many Americans want themselves and their children to be tortured for money and physically shot and killed? And would you give a five percent tax to avert this possibility? Pretty much everybody would say yes they would pay the tax.
On the big chess board if the missile defence system is put in check by the Russians then America would have to move its pieces to perform more invasions of Arabic countries pre-emptively
Russia has good relations with Iran. What if Russia orders Iran to fire nuclear weapons at Europe? Or at Israel knowing that the USA intervened in Serbia - a Russian-controlled country. If Iran caused trouble to Israel the USA would have to nuke Iran, if Iran has nukes for secondstrike at Europe this is unacceptable
under NATO
I think its way simpler than that - the US has two stances - passive in the world, and actively imposing its will on the world with its military. It was passive and Pearl Harbour happened, the US invaded a bunch of countries including Germany which hadnt actually started a war with the USA. So the precedent is set that when the USA gets cheesed off, any country it doesnt like gets hit - so its not you-invade-me we-invade-you, its America-sitting-on-its-ass or America-invading-everyone-it-doesnt-like

I think the point here is that if you get an idiot and give him an MBA you just have an idiot with an MBA, not an intelligent person. A person that would look at a 5-year 8percent bond and go that's cheap without considering the macroeconomic implications of rising interest rates (which devalues bonds)
It seems if a zero was entered into a field instead of a non-zero number, the web app would crash (or it was something equally stupid - please don't hold me to actual issue
I've seen onshore problems far worse than that. But yes the offshore ones depend on management communications which isn't always good, for example a web app came back in ASP.NET instead of VisualBasic, it's like "You don't get a more basic error than using the wrong programming language, what should I do throw away the webserver with all our existing customers on it?"
Anyone who doesn't recycle when their government cajoles them to because they think it violates their civil liberties is harming their neighbour via increased pollution and increased landfill, this violates many world religion including Christianity where there's a commandment "Love thy neighbour"
When I got my first floppy drive when I was 10 (before hard disks) I took that five and a quarter inch disk and put my fingers on the finger recess and put the disk in the drive. After a few days of trying I realised that the finger recess was the area where the magnetic media was exposed (five and a quarter inch disks have an exposed magnetic media unlike three and a half inch disks which have a shutter). My first disk in my life I had ruined, I cried for hours

Seriously? Are you claiming that the latest installment of Linux is safer when it comes to malware than Windows. If you claim that you are an ignorant idiot. Windows 7 as an operating system is significantly better protected than Linux
I think what he means is that a well configured linux box with an intelligent user is more secure than a well configured windows box with an intelligent user, because as an open source system you can verify everything youre using for security holes whereas with windows Microsoft ignores open vulnerabilities until their business case/profits are threatened, Microsoft doesnt give you a personal line to the developer
Maybe. But they are running out of white elephants. They need a new enemy, and they need a new one NOW! How else are they going to justify the 2014 budget?
Crackers / Hackers / Hacktivists (bleh!) are one of those groups that people don't really understand (like Muslims, Chinese, etc.)
Ignoring relatively electronically secure infrastructure like nuclear reactors that actually aren't connected to the Internet (and shouldn't be), if an electronic enemy could knock out all VPN connections in the USA then the US economy would be devastated - all the working from home people would be locked out of their systems, this in itself would cause maybe billions of dollars of damages. For this reason alone the expense is justified.
If an extraterrestrial civilisation is so far advanced to be able to travel the vast distances, then the chances are very probable that they could learn absolutely nothing by studying us and wouldn't waste their time to even visit
In the same way that we sit and listen to old sixties music and take our children to zoos where uneducated animals just play around, perhaps the aliens bring their children into Earth orbit to show them us?
Those people saw man-made craft, natural phenomenon or were hallucinating. "UFO" just means unidentified flying object, not extraterrestrial.
Dude, read the GP's article, President Harry Truman was called up and told something like "Look we got tonnes of UFOs out here what do you want us to do Mr President?"
more accurate to use a blindfold and pins on a galactic map rather then rely on crop circles of which many have been proved to be hoaxes [cropcirclesecrets.org]:)
The article states 10,000 crop circle cases, even the entire US army working continuously couldn't create that many crop circles - not at least whilst keeping it secret, Area 51 has people on TV saying they did this and that despite the fact it's such a small facility, so crop circles should have at least 100 people on tape with blacked out faces and disguised voices to protect their identity confessing to everything, where are they?

The German company Convar reads data from damaged hard drives using blue lasers. They're currently recovering data from the World Trade Centre hard disks using this blue laser method.

Cats are very easy to train, all you need is a litter tray, they instinctively like to keep the house tidy unlike dogs.
