  1. Re:Mexico Vaccinates Better Than The US on California Whooping Cough Cases "an Epidemic" · · Score: 0

    Immigration reform (amnesty) is nothing more than voter registration as they will become legal US citizens. It's about putting and keeping people dependent on the government and keeping a party in power in perpetuity. Anyone else that thinks otherwise needs to just go commit suicide for being a delusional disgraceful ignorant fucktard!!!

    It's your banana republic government

    I never voted for this current administration. But what the fuck do I know, I'm only in the minority here. But to answer your question: yeah, we're pretty much fucked. But thank you for being honest anyways.

    BTW, I don't care anymore. Let it all burn down!!! Fuck it.

  3. Re:Everyone's Personal Email Server on After Non-Profit Application Furor, IRS Says It's Lost 2 Years Of Lerner's Email · · Score: 1

    I have no idea what their e-mail server is. If it's MS Exchange, I believe the default retention period for deleted items is 14 days. Though in reality, the local OST file may keep that longer (un-indexed and hidden) depending on how much activity there is. But that would require some 3rd party utility to dig for it. Also, the mailbox size could be restricted to force clients to rely on local Archive.PST files. That's one way of keeping it from being stored centrally for too long. Whack the PST and deny the whole thing. Again, some 3rd party utility such as 'Recuva' could find it if the deletion was recent enough (and not corrupted with over-writes)

    If OTOH it's a POP3 server, yeah, the server doesn't store shit for the client initiation unless the client tells the server to leave a copy.

    I think it's POP3 for a very convenient reason.

    "Oops, lost my shit...oh well" Yeah, real fucking convenient.

    Not just the GOP voter. What about your average American citizen working in the IT industry? This is a blatant slap in the face in that what they really want are H1Bs for cheap labor. Backfire? Oh yeah, with both left and right barrels!

  6. Re:The Definition of Skills Shortage on Are the Glory Days of Analog Engineering Over? · · Score: 1

    Yes, and those jobs aren't for me. Those jobs are for people right out college looking for first-time job experience. So unless you're new and/or desperate, you shitcan those offers and move on.

  7. Re:Some engineers even unable to retire? on Are the Glory Days of Analog Engineering Over? · · Score: 1

    Sometimes institutional knowledge runs so deep that you simply can't hand that off to another employee in time. Even in mid transfer of knowledge, they could either be hit by a bus, or walk from the company. It happens, and companies do close shop because of it. Yes, this is really the fault of the company as a whole for not managing properly, but sometimes as an employee, you are where you are with an infinite amount of job security. The problem is, does it pay the infinite amount you think it should?

  8. Re:They have to live with the monster they unleash on House Majority Leader Defeated In Primary · · Score: 1

    No actually, I think fresh members regardless of ideology would serve the country better. You could put brand new socialists and tea party members in office, and they would work together to compromise. The reason we don't have that now is because each member is deeply rooted in an interconnected web of corruption and elite affiliation.

    Our congressman need to be changed like underwear. Often!

    Exactly. For me, this isn't about the Tea Party. This was about chucking a brick through the glass bubble that is DC. Fuck all 'em! May this election bitch-slap them back to reality in whom they really work for!

    That's why cell phones should be the first to make the switch to IPv6. Those devices are far more numerous and are replaced more often to that of PCs/Servers.

    I don't know what kind of connections you have, but man, they wouldn't let me near the place. Something about safety, needing an escort, and some other BS about whom my point of contact is. I told them what I needed to do, but they started to raise their voice and get hostile. One of the guys even threatened the police if I didn't leave. WTF??!! Just let me walk in there and press the refine button.

    The world is just too damn complicated. Fuck it, I'm grabbing another bag of Cheetos some Mt. Dew and heading back home to do this shit the easy way.
