There are many well documented use cases. Just take the time to understand it. Your comment makes as much sense as saying "the Internet is only useful for criminals."
Pretty sure all those rednecks that blame immigrants for everything in their shitty lives were thinking a big old fuggin wall. With razor wire and 'made-in-america' concrete. They may have to settle for 'made-in-america' fencing and drones to patrol a virtual wall now.
For the more educated Trump voters, and there were a lot of them apparently, they were willing to ignore it I guess and will probably be relieved if it gets toned down a little.
I think about this a lot. I was raised in the 70's and 80's and while life was much simpler in technological terms back then, we were definitely just as happy back then as we are today. The only thing that has changed is how we deal with boredom. When I was a kid we did a lot more social things to pass the time. You just did not have the option of plunking yourself in front of a computer and immersing yourself with such low effort. There was TV, but it wasn't like it is today, it was pretty horrible by comparison.
However I have memories of my parents visiting friends for coffee and cards and dragging us kids along. I have memories of going to the cottage on weekends, and friends cottages as well. I am not trying to glorify an ideal past that never existed either. When there was nothing to do the boredom was stiffling.
But overall, to the question of "we're we happier 30 or 40 years ago, I would say no. That is more a question of character than environment. People are predispositioned to happiness or misery (or somewhere along that spectrum) based on the people they are. Would I go back to those days? No way! But I suspect I would find other ways to maximize my quality of life.
Going forward, will technology make us happier? Doubtful. The increased amount of time will be welcome for some who make the most of every situation. For others who are unhappy, they will continue to be, no matter what.
Holy crap I just realized. It's part of the master plan. Let the ocean levels rise and that will pretty much take care of all the blue states that are left. Perfect "adaptation" strategy.
Depends on your reasoning. Are you American and already use imperial? Or do you live in a country that has metric and you prefer to revert. If the latter then why? If the former, then I hate to tell you but the world has moved on.
There are people whose integrity is beyond reproach. For them you can work off the record trusting they will do their part and that you will do yours. I don't think everyone has a sleazeball instinct and I find it a negative view of humanity to think that. I don't like having to have everything in writing either and of course there are examples of people who will use it as a stick which is sleazy in its own right. But I will be damned if I will let a known sleazeball get away with informal conversations just to be back stabbed by them later. We all know who they are and act accordingly.
I was so disappointed with the Segway. Before we even knew what it was they were saying new cities would be built with this new technology in mind. I was very curious and anxious to know what this was. Then comes the rolling pogo stick......you're joking right.:-(
I don't think it works against me. I am capable of disagreeing with well adjusted people. Maybe he has a few points that are worth considering, but that is not __my__ point. He is such a compulsive liar that I really can't believe anything he says. Donald Trump is the boorish salesman who will tell you anything you want to hear at that particular moment in time and then turn around and say the exact opposite. You think he will fix the H1B program? Based on what....his word? We know that can be changed at any moment that it becomes advantageous for him.
His ranting also border on the bizarre and makes me question his ability to stay calm in stressful situations. This ain't The Apprentice. He's won't be facing a bunch of business school flunkies and aspiring actors on a day to day basis as POTUS. It's the big leagues, and he hasn't shown one ounce of the character needed to handle what is probably the most pressure filled job on the planet. In fact I would put my money on a full catastrophic personal meltdown. It would be ugly.
You bring up Clinton. Am I banging the drum for her because I can't seem to find it in my post? She has her own issues, but Trump is on another level of failure when it comes to basic decency, integrity and respect. He doesn't give it and he most certainly does not deserve it.
Absolutely, you can bypass a lot of red tape when there is trust and in the long run you will be way more productive. Your word is your bond. If you say you will do it, you do it, you stand by it and if something goes south you own it. That's how people get to trust you and in the long run, like your mentor can just get it done.
Perhaps you have not earned their trust yet. There could be a reason they want a record. When you say you "try" not to be a backstabbing sleaze that is not a ringing endorsement of yourself. I don't know you and maybe you are the greatest person in the world, but trust takes time.
I also do this. It's a matter of trust. There are some people I would action a verbal request for because there is trust in the business relatonship. Those can be the most productive. Otherwise, ya, going to need that in writing to satisfy CYA requirements.
Seperation of gaming life and facebook life hits home for me. I really like Steam, but its not something I wan't to be on my FB feed, nor would I want it on my LinkdIn feed either for obvious reasons.
And by realistic view, you mean stuff __you__ agree with. Isn't that what "Tell it like it is" really means. Someone who spouts the same nonsense I believe in.
Do you not listen to the guy yourself? Do you actually see a well adjusted human being that would be a good President? I am curious because I don't need the media to tell me he is a self centered, egocentric, narcissistic douchebag that will run the country and a good chunk of the world with it into the ground.
The preferred method of spelling "moron" by morons, particularly that of a Missouri redneck at a rally supporting the US led war in Iraq. Get a brain, moran! GO USA!
Sadly this is how I feel as well. Trust is a very complicated and difficult problem to solve. I always say, "At least Goober can't access my family photos". But if a powerful nation state wanted to access my hard drive (I use LUKS for full disk encryption and truecrypt 7.1a for containers) I don't feel so good about that. I lead a pretty straight life anyway, but it bothers me that there is no truly trustworthy solution, even if what we have is ultimately secure. How would you know?
Now we have one laptop with Windows 10 and I can't even do full DE with TrueCrypt. So what did we do? Bitlocker (shudders). Goober still can't access it but the government can pretty much just snap their fingers and they will get in. So Bitlocker is a true joke in my opinion and only useful for keep Goober out.
With distros maintaining their own kernels and backporting security fixes, how many people/organizations use the latest? Who are these users that anxiously await the latest kernel? Serious question, in all my years of using Linux I very rarely have downloaded the latest kernel and compiled it. I have done it pretty much out of interest only.
Seeing as RedHat 6.4 uses the 2.6 kernel and is supported until Nov 2020 there will be lots of 2.6 for some time yet. Then there will be extended support as well for those willing to pay for it.

This can be the minor quibbles thread. Excel is a green X not a green E.

It only requires cooperation of the entire world and asks people to change. hahaahahahahaahah

The best thing the rich can do is to keep lower classes fed. If they don't I fear they will be inviting civil war.

Actually you are both right. :-)
