  1. you vastly overestimate most employers, IT are slaves and treated as such

  2. har har har, for my employer I have to run some windows programs, and the standard image is 32 bit windows 7 that I run in a VM

    you can bet 32 bit OS are alive and well at your banks, insurance companies, etc.

  3. the (l)users at my company find Eliza more engaging

    no, you mostly don't get to go by the slots etc of most casinos since there aren't the stops for it. chosen route was stupid

    what a load of bullshit, no one is going to waste their time doing that hacking of comcast and/or hosting provider routers to serve sheep porn in lieu of family pictures

    and even if they did, it would only be funny

    not buying your argument, there is content that doesn't need https protection at all. mine doesn't

    indeed, I don't appreciate this agenda driven bullshit for what it totally unnecessary for many websites. Someone's going to snoop my relatives looks at family pictures on my website? I have to use a web stack that that shitty 90 day free cert ware they're pushing supports. and browsers are on board with your stupidity? fuck you, EFF.

    C++ is becoming obscenely complex, and hence a pain to manage and a pain to find bugs and a pain to avoid creating more bugs when adding code

    then there's you implying whites are mostly to blame. There have been studies done on the ethnicity of clients in the major cities, there are two other groups leading the list before we get to whites at #3

  11. Re:USPS subsidizes rural residents on Trump Wants Postal Service To Charge 'Much More' For Amazon Shipments (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    how can that be true when Amazon has been increasing its use of the USPS in the big cities, shipping to post offices since it's so very cheap? UPSP is subsidizing EVERYONE. Trump has a point in this case, the rate can be raised though still kept less than FedEx and UPS.

  12. nonsense, unemployment has been declining since tail end of Obama administration, clearly tech is causing people to have new jobs.

    so what if outmoded and obsolete jobs are lost and more relevant ones added instead?

  16. Tenuous? there is 11 psi difference between sea level and 35,000 feet. so a one inch deep by one inch wide column of air from the ground to 35,000 feet weighs 11 pounds. How much does a square inch of aircraft skin weigh?

    dose is about 1 mrem per hour, compared to 1 mrem per day on ground. still, only air crew have slightly higher melanoma rates than people who work on the ground as only proven effect (sunbathers, sun tanners and beach lovers are at much more risk), the danger to passengers is essentially zero.

    wrong, government only wants its taxes and its central bank and certain level of inflation and economic activity. they don't care about this.

    you already can have your drivers license revoked by repeated or severe violations of traffic law or certain criminal laws, that's been true for over a century and that won't change.

  19. You're confused, the changing itself causes the downtime because the other parties need to take your changed cert and load it into their trust store. Just making that statement shows you have no real world career experience.
