Actually, "wheat allergy" is very real. It's called celiac disease and it's an auto-immune disorder. It's related to the gluten proteins found in common grains such as wheat. I have it and I can tell you that it's a very painful and unpleasant experience after I have been "glutened."

Oh god! Why did you have to bring up TLD's in the nuclear context? Brings back six years of hell aboard the submarine. Oh shit!! Here comes back the flashbacks!!!
"Reville, reville! All hands turn to, commence Field Day!!! Muster a 15 man working party with Senior Chief Poling in Missle Compartment Middle Level!" "All Ahead Flank Cavitate, Torpedo in the Water!!!" "Conn, Maneuvering. Request permission to stop the shaft for training!" "Man Battle Stations Missle. Set Condition 1SQ.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh.
Oh my god, now the FBI's coming after me!!! I'm going to prison!!! They're going to lock up me now!!!! Now I'm going to show up on 60 minutes with a bag over my head and electric wires sticking out my penis for spilling National Security secrets. I only hope that my tormenter is better looking than PFC England!!!
Okay, I just had to respond to this post. You're young so it's expected that you're going to be opinionated and judgemental. I used to have that luxury when I was your age.
I am an ITT Tech graduate, and I have been a computer geek since 1995 when I bought my first computer. When I was working in Portland as an electrician, we used laptops for troubleshooting. We needed these laptops so that we could plug them into our machines's PLC's (Programmable Logic Controllers). Unfortunately, laptops and industrial environments don't mix. Although we asked management to buy us industrial laptops, they refused, which meant that we would usually get the sales force's old laptops, which happened to be in great supply. These were old IBM thinkpads and their life expectancy was about three months once they were subjected to the harsh environment. Ok, no problem. If a laptop dies, pop out the hard drive, and stick it in another laptop. Unfortunately, our system admin could never figure out how to open up the laptop and remove the hard drive. Finally, after about the third time showing her, I decided that it's probably time for me to change careers. Here I am, an electrician, showing a University of Washington graduate how to replace a hard drive in a laptop. Go figure.
Anyhow, I knew that I couldn't get into the IT based on my background. Even though I played around with Linux, I needed to have that magic piece of paper. Guess what, this was during the Dot com boom when every Tom, Dick, and Harry got an $80,000 a year (or so it seemed at the time) job and became an instant millionaire (on paper). I figured, what the hell, I didn't have the time to go to a four year university, and ITT seemed to have a respectable name. (Little did I know) Anyhow, it seemed like a fast track to a career that I would enjoy.
Anyway, I got to ITT and started their CNS (Computer Network) program. However, I was always interested in programming, so I switched to the SAP (Software And Applications) program. While it's not a Stanford education by any means, it wasn't bad as long as you were willing to work hard and apply yourself. It didn't really go into any advanced topics, but it did go into the fundamentals. We had two Java classes, a Linux class, two VB classes, two C++ classes, and a Data Structures class using C++. We also had two software design and architect classes. Not university level, but pretty solid. I guess I was lucky, I had good instructors. Fourth of them come to mind. One of our instructors had a PhD and worked for NASA on the space shuttle program. The other guy developed missle guidance software for the Air Force. The third worked for IBM. The fourth, well, she didn't know shit from shinola.
While in school, I was able to get job as a customer support rep at a very, very tiny ISP. 800 customers, three employees. Anyhow, the guy they hired to as the system admin got fired for incompentence. My boss found out that I played around with Linux and made me the system admin. That and I also worked cheap. Let me tell you, I learned FreeBSD the HARD WAY!!!! As in WHAT NOT TO DO!!! As in the web server's down, and you're feverously reading the FreeBSD handbook and parsing the newsgroups to get the Freaking thing up and running. Oh yeah, also explaining to your customer's why your web server's down. The job sucked and so did the pay, but I got a lot of experience real quick. Pretty soon my reputation got around because I gave the customers good service, and I was able to land a few minor consulting jobs.
Fortunately, after I graduated from ITT Tech, I was lucky enough to land a programming job, as a Microsoft Access report writer (Yuck!). Mind you, I did my final software project at ITT using Java and MySQL so I wouldn't have to work with Access!!! However, in this economy, beggers can't be choosers, especially when you have a two year degree from ITT Tech. Anyway, after working with Microsoft Access and exploring VBA's capabilities, I found that Access is a very use

I know a guy that lives in Truckee and works in San Jose. Crazy. Silicon Valley can't figure out how to work remotely. Amazing.
I knew people who lived in Sacramento and commuted to San Francisco and I thought that was bad. Truckee to San Jose? Wow.
Ouch!
No. Traffic in Atlanta is already bad enough.
That's your problem right there. You should have used AbstractDerivedSimpleMultiplexedBackupBackupBackupBackupBackupFactory instead.
It's because the government got the right to use FORCE! Corporation can not send armed thugs to get you to comply!
...yet. Give it time.
This is exactly what I'm afraid of. Even worse, what if the person who lights the spark is the next Hitler?
"I'm sorry. I don't know the answer to the question I heard."
...not well, though.
Quite a few IoT devices use Telnet.
That would be a disgrace to the USS Thresher.
Remind me never to apply to your company. Not all ITT graduates are idiots.
Please tell me what your company is, so I don't ever mistakenly apply there. You sound like a major a$$hole.
That's what we have Caitlyn Jenner and the Kardashians for. Distractions.
You can theoretically hammer nails with a saw. :)
Microsoft isn't most companies, though.
That only works if the beer is Sleeman's Honey Brown Lager.

Unless you have an inspection. Then you have spend hours making sure everything is perfect.
