FWIW I also do not support the right of marriage for gay people. IMO it makes no sense. To have state protection against gay persecution is one thing I agree with but I do not think it is a good idea to provide ANY state incentive to be gay. Nothing forbids gay people from living together as is. They just do not get the legal and economic benefits of a traditional marriage. They do not provide any of the benefits of a traditional marriage either. What is the birthrate for gay couples? How is that going to help pay the Social Security debt? I could go on this subject.
If we ever get another World War I will be interested to see what will happen to all this idiot entitlement bullshit when the state realizes it does not have enough people of recruitment age.
Of course if you are interested in living in a dying nation carved up by Indians you are welcome to it.
I once had to work in a highly stressful environment. I started doing more and more exercise out of work to just forget it all. I stopped having appetite. Eventually I started losing weight really fast. I also started sleeping less and less. I finished and delivered the project to the client, then left.
Afterwards I stopped working for a while. My sleep instead of improving got even worse. It came to a time where I did not sleep for 3 days straight. That was when everything started going bonkers. I got highly irritable at the slightest things. Blood pressure went down for no reason at all. I went to the hospital to get some diagnosis on my sleeping problems. While I was waiting for my appointment I lost consciousness. When I woke up I was lying in an hospital bed.
When I finally got a proper diagnosis and got proper medication, a trial in itself, my condition improved. After a couple of months I went back to work again.
My advice to you is if you are in a stressful work environment either change your conditions or leave it ASAP. Preferably prevent it from happening in the first place. Try to keep a private life outside of work in order to avoid getting stuck into mind loops. If you keep doing the same workload that is causing you to be stressed under the medication you may come off the rails. I have seen it happen. This condition is a lot more frequent than people would like to admit it. For whatever reason it seems to be anathema to discuss this subject in Western societies. Even if a lot of famous people e.g. Winston Churchill suffered from it.
The comment might be warranted if you only looked at the first season. But if you look at the 2nd and 3rd seasons it becomes completely different. The first season is mostly episodic. However once it introduces the concepts it changes. A lot.
...and then? Will Filezilla run on startup, settle itself inconspicuously in the systray without a running window you could accidentally close, connect to the SFTP server, download files automatically to local directories so they're instantly accessible, then monitor, sync and notify you of any changes? Will it allow you to dish out invitations to share directories and files direct from your desktop, and manage those permissions for an unlimited number of users and directories?
You can do that with rsync and I have seen plenty of SFTP and FTP clients which can manage to do the same less efficiently as well.
Permission schemes... You would think you could do that with UNIX and separate login accounts no?
Ah. Facebook bought something they have no idea how to monetize just because they want to compete with Google. However immersive VR is not something you can use daily. They are going to find their user base rather thin indeed.
This is good for gaming and certain niche applications where people are willing to enter a dedicated space and lose their peripheral vision.
New in the consumer field? I guess you weren't around in the 90s. I remember people playing Descent with consumer VR helmets back then. Boy was that nausea inducing.
VR is one of those fads that comes and goes away every 20 years.
Ok now Occulus VR is officially dead. This is the most meaningless acquisition ever. I guess it was cheaper than the inane SnapChat acquisition but there is next to zero synergy between Facebook and a VR helmet.
If the company you worked for is large enough to have HR. Even then when they are thinking of hiring you sometimes they ask specifically to speak with the project manager or your former boss. I have factual knowledge of this because in one of the companies I worked for we all worked in an open space office and the CEO quite often answered calls from other companies asking for details on some ex-employee. They were usually quite terse in their replies and only confirmed or dismissed previous work experience. However I remember on other more informal occasions someone in a different company asked my boss about someone and he spilled all the beans. People in the business know each other better than you would think they do.
Once I was working at a pretty large client and one of the people handling the contract at the client knew where I had studied. In fact he had studied in the same college I did and so did his boss.The company I worked for gave them my resume before sending me there. In fact he told me he had explicitly asked for it from my boss.
So try lying on your resume and see how far you will get with it. It is not a good idea. I do not lie to people by principle. If you think you can get away with it you probably can. For a while. Just do not count on it working forever. Your income depends on your reputation. If you get a bad reputation do not be surprised that people will stop wanting you to work for them.
No prospective employer has ever asked me for proof of any degrees, and they never asked for my GPA or transcripts. As far as I know, they never checked with any previous employer about anything. For some reason, they seemed to be much more concerned about what I could actually do.
Google 'Gil Gerard'. He is one example of someone who lied on his resume. I know more cases of this happening. It works until it doesn't. When someone finds you out you usually are toast.
Actually the WHO considers acupuncture a valid treatment for pain. I have done acupuncture treatments at several places for chronic back pain and I can tell you that it is NOT the same thing regardless of where or how they are doing the treatments. I only had good outcomes in one of the places I went to. I had done conventional physiotherapy at more than one place to treat the same issue before and I have had WORSE results than with acupuncture. I know several people, including my father, which experienced the same as I did.
When I went to do acupuncture treatments in the beginning I did not expect much of it. But the risk to reward ratio was good enough that I was convinced to try it out. It worked.
I would not use acupuncture to treat something other than chronic pain though.
The mechanism is known now but when the method to synthesize Aspirin was developed back in the XIXth century they just knew that it had this effect at this dose. That was it.

Next station marriage to dogs and sheep.
If the purpose of all life is to self-perpetuate how are you going to accomplish that with same sex unions? We are humans not amoeba.

Mixed economies. All the leading nations in the world use them. Pure Free Markets only exist as a fantasy in someone's mind.

I'm kind of partial to Granada TVs Sherlock Holmes series. But yeah Babylon 5 is good too.
Nah. He ran Emacs fine on his laptop. The thing is he just cannot remember the keyboard shortcut to startup the text editor.

s/Vuze/eMule.
Come up with a secure, self-hosted system with one-click setup and simple configuration, and you might actually give them a run for their money.
Dropbox does not do that either. Plus you have been able to do everything else you said with Vuze for years.
Because Oracle owns MySQL.

That's the first time anyone has mentioned an application that takes advantage of the Oculus VR aquisition by Facebook. Kudos to you sir!

Then Nintendo did the Virtual Boy and the segment imploded.

German companies are some of the biggest arms dealers in the world and have sold arms to regimes that are hostile to the US.
Nice joke.
I hate that stupid Windows Sticky Keys popup too. Then again I think this is more a problem of OS configuration than anything else.
What about Syndicate or Magic Carpet?

No. But they can certainly check your resume by calling your ex-bosses to ask them about you.
