No, you're lying because it's common knowledge that, at the end of the day, what really matters is KNOWLEDGE. So, ditch college, learn everything by hacking and you are bound to get the highest spot in a company. Because everyone in college is a rich spoiled kid. Slashdot people don't waste their precious time with such nonsense as "grades", "exams" or "degrees". And certainly not "certifications". Those are for idiots with a lot of money in their hands. No sir, follow the example of great hackers, hack a bank and go through their front door proving their security is SHIT and everyone there is a complete IDIOT. The bank owner himself will give you the CEO position from where you will be able to order every desktop in the company converted to Linux and open source their business process.
To be fair, lately the US has been claiming that LAWs apply to everyone who is inside US borders. But RIGHTS apply only to citizens. Remember: the NSA claims they're eavesdropping on everyone that isn't a US citizen. Because US citizens are protected by that, but non-citizens, supposedly, aren't.
So you might have a right to do something AS AN AMERICAN. But not as a non-american.
That's what they're claiming, not that i agree with any or all of this.
China has now a justification to stop paying royalties to an US company for routers, and replace their infrastructure with their own homegrown devices. Also, hurt Cisco's profit margins so they can impose their Huawei/ZTE devices to the US market. It's a win-win for them.
Also: this has absolutely nothing to do with privacy, hacking or spying. Because china could just be doing the same on the other end. But to be fair: it wasn't long ago that ZTE or Huawei provided the source to their routers. At least they try to do something to clean their reputation. Cisco would never disclose their source code, probably claiming it "may contain unknown bugs that will compromise the security of the global internet". That is enough to raise suspicion, but you can't do anything about it.
Listen, retard, that's not how it works. It's not about who has the biggest dick. It's about who has the money. If China does well, the US does well too. Because now you have a giant market to export. If the chinese can afford to buy US products, you will have more jobs in the US, in the manufacturing sector.
God I just HATE how short sighted Americans are. How do you think the world works, really? Do you think you just print money and that's it? It's not. It gets to a point where you can be the world's bestest USA #1 murica fuck yeah economy, and then no one buys from you. If no one buys from you, there's no trading, and you have an import deficit, and you lose the #1 spot. Quickly. Do you think you can keep printing dollars and buy everything from china? Sure you can. Then you lose all manufacturing jobs, and have people protesting, which you have to keep in welfare. Then, because the economy shrinks, you lose your shiny IT job. Then companies close down or are sold to the chinese. Suddenly the only people making money are the ones in "finance", which is a time bomb that just takes 1 bad day at NYSE to crap out the whole country's economy and drag the rest of NATO with it too.
China doing well is the best you can do to reduce your deficit. You don't need to be the #1 all the time, you just need to know how to play your cards. Just remember, you just cannot nuke China. You can wave your big nuclear ICBM cock all you want but you can't afford to use them. The chinese will fuck you up, bad.
Learn the fucking rules of commerce, for once!
The 90s taught us that service-based economies are nice, but you leave out all the untrained masses. There are people who do not want to go to college, and just want a job - and those people won't be able to find jobs if the US keeps the elitist "I import everything because I don't want to get my hands dirty" view. Unless you're a tiny country, it's not viable to live off just "service". Design, R&D is nice, but you need extremely high specialization for this nowadays. If defense is not there to pay for it, how long do you think that will hold?
Nope. GP is a retard. "Ladder is for old engineers" is a stupid affirmation.
"The Right tool for the job" is what you should be looking for. Are you doing simple industrial control? Are you handling many inputs and outputs AT THE SAME TIME? BASIC is sequential. C is sequential. Are you really going to deal with multithreading, semaphores and all that crap? Ladder is great for that. C? Not so much.
You CAN have modules for things you can think of "sequentially". You have to be a complete tool to do math functions purely in ladder. But sensing switches and turning motors on and off? Easy!
Now: combine both! Have your Machine Vision code in C and have it output stuff to your main ladder proces, then send off to your SCADA system for data logging and display.
Same thing with FPGAs. VHDL/Verilog describe circuits. They don't describe sequences. It's a pain to do sequential operations in those languages (you simply can't: you need to describe a FSM to do that). But you CAN use a CPU module and write a program and run it inside the FPGA. Sometimes, the complexity of the CPU is less than the gates you'll use for your sequence. Sometimes, the time you'll spend implementing and debugging a simple, non-time-critical function (like, for example, USB negotiation) on HDL is more than you'll save by just throwing in a small CPU and some firmware.
So what's your point? Want reliability: don't use a PC. Got it. But that doesn't mean the PDP/11 is the only reliable system ever and "they don't build them like that anymore". You can get modern machines in MILSPEC if you want to pay for them . But you don't need to go that far. INDUSTRIAL-grade is good enough. And honestly, I trust a good PLC, say, Siemens (I have no experience with american brands), to be more reliable than a 40 year old PDP, no matter how well built it was. Siemens has been making automation controls for a LONG time and their products are really good, and I'll guess most of their bugs have been solved in all these years.
As for PLC programming, remember they're not done in "code", but rather in "Ladder Diagram" so they can be well-understood, and have a graphical representation of the process, which is usually more easy to understand than thousands of lines of code.
Facebook cookies on my browser contradict your statement.
If you put it like this (quoting me incompletely), yes. But there was another sentence on the next line which you neglected to quote. It's OK, I know how slashdot discussions are. Nerds just love to show how wrong the other is.
I'll get to blocking facebook from hosts file later, but most people won't.
Facebook's business IS about you telling them about you.
Emphasis in YOU TELLING THEM. Which is the opposite of THEY FIGURING OUT INDIRECTLY (which is what google does).
They both do one or the other. But people willingly tell facebook their likes. Google is stuck figuring out by "context" (cause they can't get you to tell them stuff via google plus). Google can only know what you want by analyzing your footsteps. Facebook knows exactly what you like, because you explicitly told them.
Which also brings another nitpick of mine: NEITHER of them "sell your information to advertisers". You pay them to display your ads to a specific subset of people. But neither sells a database of people and likes to companies to spam you (which is what people seem to think they do).
Facebook's business is not spying on third party pages. These are just "brand awareness" and trying to bring people into facebook. Make them sign up.
Facebook's business IS about you telling them about you. Who you are. What you are. Who your friends are. What you like. Where you are.
If you manage a page, you can get into the ad manager and start an ad campaign. Use the "advanced" options and see the segmentation options: location (city-level), sex, age, marital status, interests (likes). you can even target an ad to fans of a specific page (your competition's!) or people working for a specific company. It's very granular.
hahah ~username? that's so 90s, brah. if any, it would be fox.tumblr.com but for a dose of reality, Diario Clarín here in Argentina does exactly that: http://clarincomhd.tumblr.com/ except their photos are actually professional. post high quality photos on tumblr: not only trendy, you also save in bandwidth! It's tumblr's problem now!
How we roll in Argentina: 1. Show up at the voting place. The guy in charge and some auditors verify your ID, cross your name on a list, and give you the blank ballot. (this year the list has your picture in it, since the new national identity card have photo and fingerprint digitalized. totalitarism ftw) 2. Go into the so-called "dark room" (a classroom. elections are held in public schools, on sundays). Choose your candidate (touchscreen). 3. Place your ballot in a special (idiot-proof) printer 4. fold your ballot, go outside, and in front of the witnesses, put your ballot in the box. 5. The guy in charge stamps your national identity card and you're done
(before this: same process but you went into the dark room and picked your ballot from a table, and put it in an envelope)
when voting is over: 1. The person in charge opens the box, and counts ALL votes in front of the auditors 2. he fills a form with the results, signs it, and gives it to the post employee ready to "telegraph" (ancient terminology) 3. He picks up all ballots, puts them into the box again (sorted). All other accessories (pens, remaining ballots, attendance form, empty envelopes, stamps, stamp pads, and any other garbage left) are also placed in the box. 4. The box is sealed and given to some soldier (the military is in charge of transporting the boxes).
Preliminary results are ready usually 2-3 hours after voting is over. Final count takes a couple of months
The problem is that facebook DOES NOT respond to "report this post" unless it's a porn report.
It happened to me: someone impersonated my business and I tried for days to have facebook shut down the offending account, using my name and logo. Facebook didn't give a fuck - even after MY page has been online for 3 years AND I'm a facebook ads PAYING CUSTOMER.
Ah yes, "slashdot parents". Nerds with no real life experience, used to action-reaction thinking. All very logical. Very mathematical. 2+2 is always 4. They just don't understand that all their cold logic is no good when dealing with other people. There are two kinds of people where that reasoning doesn't fly: teenagers and females. And combined, they're your worst nightmare.
What paper trail? Have you studied italian law? Does italian law accept "clicking accept on a web form" as a valid, legally binding contract? My bet is 100% surely positively NOT. A contract, a real life contract, needs a real signature on a real piece of paper Everything else is just bullshit. That doesn't just apply to Italy. I'm pretty sure you can't open a bank account, even in the US, through a web page. You need to fill paper forms and sign them.

you haven't mentioned that MF film is much cheaper than the digital equivalent. and 4x5 digital? LOL
Lol your username rings a bell...
That's your counter-argument? Really?
220V is the standard here in Argentina, but at least in my city, in all the outlets i've tested (with APC UPSs), they all have been 230V or more.
