I'm your same age cohort, same specialization, same years of experience, only I have no degree and I stayed out of management.
Certifications are for the inexperienced. My utter lack of credentials combined with my long history of being well-paid to do the work IS my meta-certification, if you get what I am saying.
Asteroid- and comet-mining would be the next stage of resource extraction. The economics of robotic space exploration are still high, but once the costs associated with conventional extraction grow high enough, it will move into orbit.
...He was only charged after a lot of blacks fired up the black community to send a message to other black youths that it is alright to attack and try to kill a "cracker", and if he defends himself we can get him arrested. "
Congratulations. That is the single most fucked-up thing I've seen anyone write on this entire 17-month event.
Yes, if not for last night's verdict being what it was, there might be angry muscular doped-up black youths coming to kill you right now. Thank God for American Justice, eh?
So, in your own words, these people have no choice. They are told where to live. Those who have a choice, live elsewhere...You take no issue with my original points about the nanny-state, lack of jobs, and Elitist racism.
I will have to discount the "nanny-state" part, because everything else you've said perfectly describes the race ghettos of the United States. No jobs, check. Entrenched racism, check. The US Government "telling" people where to live through economics....check (although I feel this point in particular is nothing more than a semantic game).
Sorry for the rant but I'm past the point of believing the crap about it takes a village to raise a child. How about it takes a concerned parent (single or plural) to raise a child.
See, that responsibility is important and all, but the nuclear family is a relic of the past age. If the parents you mention fail to be concerned enough, we as the metaphorical village get stuck with the sociopathic loser for the next 30-60 years. Their responsibility becomes our responsibility.
Also keep in mind that nothing in American society comes close to the "it takes a village" philosophy. Our society is still nuclear-family at its core, and will not be changing any time soon.
Of the first 100 pages, 93 were ads. 4 of the other pages were reviews of insanely expensive products, all glowing. It was there that I realized how horribly idiotic fashionistas are.
Why, because they can get a good impression of the coming season's fashions after browsing those 93 pages of advertisements? There is more than one way to use a magazine, my far-too-sheltered geek friend.
But the only reason the Internet is free is because the companies controlling its infrastructure are not only in a free country, but in the only country founded on individual rights.
Did you fail out of elementary school history or something? The United States is NOT the only fucking country founded on individual rights.
"Recent shut down of most pot shops?"
What the fuck are you talking about? They are open and thriving. Don't make shit up if you are going to bother posting here.
I personally will take Capitalism and Freedom over Socialism any day. At least with Capitalism I can have a chance to provide for myself if I have the skills and dedication.
The Libertarian is typically one who is young enough to believe that he will be rich one day; young enough to want to be rich one day, to the detriment of those around him.
Don't worry. The patriot act won't intrude on your TV, slashdot, beer, or masturbation time, so you can continue spewing your digusting opinions on this forum.
At least you get the Flamebait mods you deserve, loser.
it's just my experience with employees wasting MY time and MY money...
Congratulations. Now everyone on Slashdot knows you for the asshole you really are. There are few things in America more pathetic than the small-fry miserly businessman. I guess you are just too "backward" for social skills and common decency, eh?
It's more like "what apps can you run on Windows vs what apps can you run on Linux?" That's really where Linux fails.
That is quite a generalization; install Debian from CD and then repeat your claim that Linux lacks a raw quantity of apps. If I were to claim that MacOS lacked apps because I was, say, a gamer, a textile designer and a studio engineer would promptly collapse on the floor laughing at me.
Likewise with Linux. As someone who runs a full compliment of business-class network services in my house, I view your claim with amused skepticism. In the future, aim for more precision in your statements.
Just because you're not under attack on home ground and don't hear people running and screaming is no reason to get so content that you call the guy who kept the attacks from happening for 4 years evil.
So ya think Bush prevented attacks, do ya? Well, I have a rock here that keeps tigers away. Look around, do you see any tigers nearby?
...and it is useless. It is an application (not firmware) that is installed into the disk's MBR. It also requires a Windows OS. So, in a nutshell: if you reinstall Windows it will not kill computrace. Reformatting the MBR or installing a *NIX OS will kill it, however.
Considering that Slashdotter can't be bothered to read your clumsily-worded opinions, you may take it as such. Enjoy your days languishing at 1, old man.
This link is representative of typical Indymedia content - judge it for yourself.
Go learn what "representative" means. Choosing one of the most extreme postings available is not representative, it is manipulative. You are a dishonest shit; utterly typical behavior for a illiterate neocon such as yourself. Pathetic, truy pathetic.
Funny. The only time America's sovereignity was actually, you know, THREATENED, it was by the British. If they had retaken the colonies we would still be speaking English. Unless you know of any other times in history that America was invaded and patriotic citizens had to defend their homes against tyranny?
Yeah, it didn't happen, ever. Nor will it ever; in case you hadn't noticed, we are bordered by oceans. No one launches invasions over fucking oceans. I had hoped a Marine would know something about amphibious assaults, but I suppose not.
I was inferring that without a trained military force, the US would be taken overrun by a country with a military force. I doubt that the new overlords would respect our current constitution as they installed themselves as a dictator.
oh yeah, there is also that little added benefit of a trained military force being the only thing between you being able to post self-righteous crap like this and you being forced to obey the whims of some dictator.
Oh? At what point did "some dictator" launch an invasion of America that threatened our safety so? When did dictators assume control of all of the other fucking democracies in the world, the ones where you can "post self-righteous crap" without thanking a fucking military machine?
I must really be out of touch with history, I dunno.
According to the article, the techs are not supposed to talk to any of their customers on the phone - every problem results in a service call. That might work with joe homeowner but a business that spends several $k a month on your service will expect phone support....
At large companies blind service calls are the norm. When a copier, fax, printer, or other appliance breaks, no one troubleshoots over the phone. A service call is placed ("Printer jams frequently."), a technician eventually shows up, eventually fixes the problem. Many hours, perhaps multiple visits...it is definately a lucrative deal for the repair house.
Why should commoditized desktop PCs be handled any differently? No one has time to waste on details. Better to spend extra dollars than waste part of an eight-hour day on trivial matters.
When we, the West, stop exploiting Dar Al-Islam, that is, the entirety of the Muslim World. I say this because that is exactly what the Muslims did during the Crusades; they fought and fought and fought until the Christian states established in Palestine were destroyed. They fought, and still fight, defensively.

Hey, now that sounds just like New York City. Which is why I now live in Philadelphia.
