Yeah, no. The "defense industry" is widely understood to be multi billion dollar corporations who profit off of killing people more efficiently at lower cost while enhancing shareholder value.
The too big to fail financial institution I work for, which processes about a third of the world's economy every day, is very excited about exploring the possibilities of the blockchain technology that underlies Bitcoin. I don't know if they know for sure what they're going to do with it, but they're looking at it.
Can't we just continue to call them "self-important idiots who know just enough about computers to be truly dangerous, yet demand admin rights anyway, only to hose up their system in truly spectacular fashion, usually when they have a tight deadline to meet, requiring you to drop everything and run to their cubes and bail them out, for which you get no thanks, only disdain as you are but a lowly sysadmin?"
Your ex-wife gets a restraining order and has the locks changed because shes tired of you beating her up. If you try to get in with a brick, she'll have time to call 911, or the neighbors will, but if you can slip in late at night when no one is looking, well, Bobs your uncle, eh mate?
Or maybe they just don't give a fuck whether it's an iPad, Surface or some kind of Android tablet.
You know, just like the rest of us...
Well, on the surface, I'd agree with you. Ha ha, see what I did there?
But usually in a marketing deal like this, memos come down explicitly stating that the brand name should be used often and conspicuously when referring to the product. Otherwise, whats the point of spending the money?
There's a very easy remedy to this, but there is no political will to do it. Tax the people holding the money. Then use that money in infrastructure projects, hiring workers, consuming resources, and improving the country. Problem is the rich people that own the politicians will never let that happen, thus cutting off their noses to spite their faces.
WTF are you talking about? I bought a bike off Craigslist, and my wife got one at a store in town. We bought a rack to hang off the back of the car and off to the county park we go. I'm in for probably less than $700.
The rest of the words in your post, I don't even know what they mean. Sucking wheels? Doing work when its my turn? We're talking about riding a bike, right?
The birth control issue is about government forcing employers to pay for their employees' birth control. When there's a law that says employers must subsidize firearms purchases, I'll oppose that too.
Bullshit. Its about people doing things you don't like. Birth control (or abortions) is part of health care. Health care is part of your compensation package. There is a generally accepted standard of what health care is or should be, and picking and choosing based on your beliefs is kind of dickish
It would be like If your boss was a fanatical health nut, and said he wasn't going to pay for chairs for the employees, because he had a stand up desk. Technically that's his right.
Suppose he didn't want to cover *any* medical procedure , because his religion is one of these who don't believe in it http://childrenshealthcare.org/?page_id=195 "Sorry, no surgery for you. Pray that appendicitis away."
And we didn't put him on the science and technology committee or the intelligence committee, did we? Dems at least try to keep their crazies locked in the attic.
Ooh, someone got their updated buzzword list. What is that, is that even a thing? Do you mean we are going to give government to the rich, and they will then spend it causing benefits to flow down to the less fortunate? I don't get it, can you explain it to me like I'm a tea partier?
Because I think social conservatives are busybody prudes, and I don't believe in supply side economics, so I'd never vote for any republican, because I want to make sure the republican nutcases in the senate and the serious republican nutcases in the house never get close enough to the levers of power to truly fuck anything up.
...and this is how we ended up with all Windows apps requiring local admin rights to run correctly. Because all the developers had local admin rights to install their own software, so all their software worked fine for them when they tested it.
In my experience, developers no very little about the OS, security or any of the technical nuts and bolts of how an OS works, and what bits should not be modified, they know just enough to be dangerous. I've actually had a developer go into security settings and deny access to Everyone at the root of C:, to keep virus scans and software updates off their system. Of course, they didn't realize that "Everyone" means them too, and the system account as well, and are surprised that the machine reacted badly to this. Also, too, they managed to do this on a Friday when they had CRITICAL WORK that MUST GET DONE by MONDAYS DEADLINE!.
Which makes me want to ask SO WHY ARE YOU F#$KING WITH YOUR PC INSTEAD OF WRITING CODE? Lets make a deal, I wont write C++ code and you don't try to administer my boxes. Never mind, I wasn't doing anything this weekend anyway.
F'in A. the last time I felt anythign like American Exceptionalism was between Apollo and the first Space Shuttle launch. Wheres the Manhattan project for alternative energy? Oh, yeah. that would be socialism, taking money out of the mouths of venture capitalists.
not to mention air traffic control or the national weather service. Why I'm sure Fedex would have invented a private alternative to them in order to deliver packages gauranteed overnight.
"Why exactly do we need to pay continual homage to Xerox?"
In this case, it's because Barack HUSSEIN Obama (D-Kenya) gave credit for the Internet to the gov't. So OF COURSE the Wall Street Journal has to contradict that claim because Barack HUSSEIN Obama can't be right about anything ever-- especially when it comes to claims that the gov't did something good.
Or maybe we notice exactly what is going on, and since we voted Obama in, are quite happy with it. It's a grand day for those of us who voted in Obama...or maybe you forgot we exist?
They know we exist, they just think we're lazy black people on welfare.
I weep for my country, for it is dead. We now have a "ruling regime", not a government of, by, and for the People. And because I know God is just, I also tremble in fear for my country.

Truly the dumbest thing I've seen on the interwebs this year.

When the moon his your eye, like a big pizza. Aye, that's amore.

Its worked for me for 30 years.

"you can't get pregnant from a legitimate rape"
“All that stuff I was taught about evolution, embryology, the Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of hell,”
"She told me that her little daughter took that (hpv virus) vaccine, that injection. And she suffered from mental retardation thereafter"
''You know what, evolution is a myth. Why aren't monkeys still evolving into humans?''
"President Obama wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob"
Do you get that? Never. I don't give a flying fig how liberal Romney is or isn't. These people aren't smart enough to be caretakers of the country.
Ooh, someone got their updated buzzword list. What is that, is that even a thing? Do you mean we are going to give government to the rich, and they will then spend it causing benefits to flow down to the less fortunate? I don't get it, can you explain it to me like I'm a tea partier?

There, is that enough clarification for you?
Because I think social conservatives are busybody prudes, and I don't believe in supply side economics.
So you'd have no problem if you hired me to remodel your house and I used lead paint and asbestos insulation?
I actually read this as "should developers be allowed to install software "on their own PCs."
Letting them install software for other users is a whole 'nother level of insane.
In my experience, developers no very little about the OS, security or any of the technical nuts and bolts of how an OS works, and what bits should not be modified, they know just enough to be dangerous. I've actually had a developer go into security settings and deny access to Everyone at the root of C:, to keep virus scans and software updates off their system.
