Professor McCloud. What a great guy. Retired after my semester with him. He had a stack of manuals that went up to the ceiling. I was impressed.
We had a nursing student in out class, and we all cracked up one day when she asked the equivocal word question :
"What does 'invalid command' mean ?"
Because Americans love fake PR constructed idols. They just eat that shit UP, man. Obnoxious, self-centered, exploitative, arrogant, greedy dicks are THE number one idol. Just look at Trump. The whole point of PR is to lie to you, and get you to lie to yourself, and BELIEVE the lies. That way you're vested in a bullshit greed based paradigm that relies on PR more than it relies on anything. And it works, because people who lie to themselves will do absolutely ANYTHING you can easily manipulate them into doing. Just look at how people freakin' WORSHIP Ayn Rand, with her ridiculous alcoholic in the attic husband and her fucking around with her married disciples. People just EAT UP her silly abstracted theories based on pure egoism. It's why people prefer her douchey abstractions to her first novel. "Think FOR me"
What free press is that ? The "free press" that takes billions from Big Pharma, yet does very little in the way of exposing the rampant medical fraud in the US ?
The "free press" is owned by advertisers and corporations. The "free press" is more centralized now then ever.
The "free press" works with business to screw us all.
The irony is that Jobs never was what he represented himself to his legions of admirers.
You don't get filthy rich by being thoughtful, fair, or kind. You get there by being a ruthless hypocrite that has enough money to spin everything in your favorite, and by engineering an image as much if not more than your products.
And by buying-up the competitions superior products and technologies, and promptly SHELVING them.
The more time that goes by, the more the details will wriggle their way out from the idol-image he created.
Good analog. Overtime pay, for many of us, represents a cut in pay for more hours we don't want to work, because we're already working hard.
OT for me works out to be, after the increase in taxes, less than if I'd taken a part time crappy job at a retailer.
So that temporary situation that looks like you're getting paid more, you might just be a sucker, and working harder and longer for even less.
And when you get injured on the job, you will be discarded.
There ARE legitimate reasons for increasing prices in this situation, I'm not surprised at how eager people are to make accusations of price fixing and immorality. But I am disturbed at how little so many people seem to understand how to run a business.
Manufacturers do business by contract, supply relies on contract being fulfilled. With a complex electomechanical product like hard drives, we are not talking just a contract or even a dozen, and we aren't talking about just pushing a button and total capacity magically increasing. You have to add shifts, create more contracts, secure your supply chain. This is supposed to be free ? Get real. No, really, get real.
It simply costs more to ramp up production to meet a demand that couldn't be planned for.
I guess fewer Americans now than ever understand supply chain management and manufacturing processes than ever.
You can get mad and resort to "ass-kicking" all you want, the problem with people that blame "capitalism" for all their woes is that they get all angry, anger makes you stupid, and stupid people hurt the people who haven't really done anything wrong or immoral.
As a young lawyer representing slaves and former slaves ?
In a hundred years people may look back and think many things, that doesn't make any of them accurate.
Absolutely, what about this is so difficult to grasp for you ? On the die you can use itty bitty tiny gold or platinum or silver or whatever traces. Think about it.
I don't know, to me being scanned is way less an affront on my person than hands all over my body.
I knew I wouldn't be thrilled with a TSA pat-down, and when it finally happened to me, was startled at just how angry and violated I felt.
Yes, the screener was polite and tried to make it quick. No, the "randomness" of being singled-out did not make me feel like the TSA is competently screening for terrorists.
No, there was absolutely no reason to ambush me in the boarding tube for a feel-up on my way back on a round-trip ticket from seeing my terminal mother for the last time.
There will always be characters that rise to the top in either system who fit perfectly into it via their own proclivities. Ford or Stalin ? Which do you prefer ?
That's the first thing I would do, is a compare from a trusted backup.
How exactly else are you going to discover precisely what it is they've done to your system ?
I like documenting the details.
(Then I'd nuke and restore)
would occasionally bark and paw at her side, we'd laugh, crazy dog.
But then she started having pain in the same area. About a year and a half later, she was diagnosed with lung cancer (she never smoked). The schnauzer died of leukemia before she passed away.
I miss them both horribly.
Try to remember what it was like when flying wasn't an absurd, living hell.
Try to remember what it was like before TSA agents hid in the boarding tubes and "randomly" pulled people aside and groped them.
Try to remember what it was like at the airport, how friendly people were, the wonderful strangers you used to meet and converse with.
Try to remember what it was like, I know you have amnesia, but I'm here to remind you that there were nice people, friendly people, people that enjoyed meeting people and talking and sharing stories while they waited for their flight.
Try to remember what it was like before we made excuses for our government putting it's filthy hands all over you, your grandmother, your children....
It's OK, I know it's hard, we'll just keep reminding you, and hope, hope that someday you'll remember, someday the person you were before you were stricken with amnesia, that wonderful person that's been lost that doesn't remember all the people that were your friends.
Except when they burn out.
The cheapest and safest way to handle that issue isn't with a light bulb, it's with 15 dollars worth of heat tape from Home Depot. Pays for itself the first year, and doesn't burn out every 2 months.
No attempt was made to improve efficiency for decades, until this legislation.
CFL's are dreadful; like incandescents, they break easily, only with that extra added benefit of releasing mercury and UV should you not notice one's been damaged. And the light from them - just horrible.
Solid state lighting is the real winner here, it's widespread adoption is inevitable. Far, far more durable, vibration and impact resistant, much longer-lasting, far more energy efficient, and ever improving color rendering. Operation in low temperatures just improves brightness and efficiency, break one and it's not an environmental hazard, your kids and pet aren't going to cut themselves on the glass shards and be poisoned by mercury released.
All our outdoor and most used bulbs have been replaced with quality solid state LEDs for over a year now, we're never going back.
Nice, cool, UV free light with great color rendering, less eye strain, and a lower electric bill - what's not to love ?
That annoying bulb that's hard to replace ? Slap a solid state bulb in that fixture and forget about it for 15 + years.
More signage, signaling, and parking lot lighting is going solid-state. They cost more, but last far longer, are more reliable, and use way less electricity while burning up less power in the form of waste heat than anything else.
So, yeah, this time a law was enacted because people and industry weren't going to do the intelligent and responsible thing on their own. But feel free to complain about the stupid new law that infringes on your right to make everything more expensive for everybody in the future instead of all the stupid and irresponsible people that complain their right to screw us all over has been taken away.
I couldn't help notice, you were going 20 in a 35 zone and straddling both lanes.
I'm not saying you're a bad driver, no; just a really stupid and dangerous one.
It's our road too.
on the description of the second name.
Though I might point out, the new name based on a chick that has to wear boxers under her skirts to keep from being disrespected is an obvious intended insult.
You're free to name your work anything you wish.
The rest of the world is free to refuse to have anything to do with a "community" so immature, rude, and unprofessional as to use and support such a name, and to drive members of that community out who refuse to be a party to such obvious lack of comprehension of basic social utility.
If you want business to use your product, a minimum degree of respect is called for.
Open source is great, but the "the customer can go to hell" attitude is not what works in the real world, and being insulting to women may seem cute in your little social circle-jerk, but the rest of us just think you're a butt.
We dont waste the poop, but we should.
Given all the toxins, pharmacological/radioactive crap in human waste, it's just a matter of time before the cumulative pollution of arable lands reaches dangerous levels across the board.
