I know this is OT and I'll probably be modded down, but think about other strange occurrences like Obama and Harry Reid taking umbrage with the Washington Redskins name, and suddenly having the Patent Office revoke their trademark. Very Nixon-like.
You're presuming the IT guy even had any idea that something untoward was going on. That's unlikely. Many of us here are admins or have been on the past. When disabling accounts following a termination, have you always known why that person was terminated? I often didn't know when it was an involuntary dismissal.
This. Can we have some investigative journalism? Maybe someone could pose as a candidate and see if discrimination is endemic to the hiring process, instead of assuming that the lack of diversity is malicious?
I also feel that happened when President Obama ran in 2008.
HAHAHAno. He's just another member of the ruling elite. Is there any question, after having dispatched Hilary Clinton (of the "old" ruling elite), yet bringing her on board as SoS? And now the proles are clamoring for Hilary in 2016. How about his refusal to admit mistakes-- personified by the continued presence of Holder as AG?
I don't expect every end-user to be knowledgeable on electronic devices, but I do expect people who write these articles to be. That woman was probably reading the label on the power supply, which likely is capable of delivering 500W but the cable box is unlikely to consume that much. You're looking at an embedded processor that's a system-on-a-chip or close to it, support components (at most, video and ethernet), a small fan, a small phosphor display and, at most, two hard disks. We're talking 200W.
I've probably wasted too much time on this already, because the very next line of the article says "35 watts", which I think is actually far too low.
This isn't what is happening. Please stop attacking your Archie Bunker straw man. I, for example, would be OK with allowing just about ANYONE here as long as they are documented, aren't seriously ill, and either have a job waiting or valuable job skills. Children of legal citizens or people with green cards, of course, are also OK.
Gee... I wonder what would have happened if they'd been told it was for money AND the public good. And how much money? And does it go into my bank account, or into the town coffers? Huh...
If that's what it takes to do the right, moral things-- paying people fair wages and making sure that those immigrants are accounted for-- then we do it. It will be tough at first, but a minimally regulated, non-corrupt free market will adjust.
Because it's strict government control over our property/school tax money, not the teachers. Those of us who don't even have kids in the system are tired of the money being wasted on terrible teachers.
Chicago had strict gun laws for decades, yet their crime stayed high-- that's the point. The gun control laws were either ineffective, or an even greater issue totally cancelled out any effect the laws could have had. Either way, the greater issue is being ignored in favor of politics.
Your second statement is a typical appeal to emotion, and has no place in this rational discussion.

Yes, let's use ad hominems because our partisanship is more important than logic or truth.

So you're OK with people being persecuted by the government as long as it's done equitably?

When did womyn become wimmin? Is wimminz still the plural?

Don't forget the crotchety country doctor wearing a big disco medallion.
Indeed. By the way, ASL?

What the heck is "shingled" hair? Do I go to a barber, a hairdresser, or a roofer?
We really need 456 2" @30 IPS for analog hipsters.
OK, maybe 15 IPS with Dolby SR would be cooler, because you've probably never heard of it.
Gee... I wonder what would have happened if they'd been told it was for money AND the public good. And how much money? And does it go into my bank account, or into the town coffers? Huh...
I'm pretty sure those guys are dead.
Sounds racist, doesn't it?

It's clearly a smokescreen to their secret plan of porting OpenVMS to it.

Uhhh... what part of "union" don't you understand? They can't be fired for no reason with a CBA in place.
More people are killed by hammers than long guns in the USA. Clearly, allowing everyone to own hammers is part of this culture of violence.
I'll take some wild guesses...
