All systems have bugs, not all data centers have this kind of crap uptime record.
Smart IT people build data centers out of heterogeneous hardware and set it up to degrade gracefully when something fails. You won't get this if you just hire A+/Net+ staff.
Wait a second: Because 18% of the population commit 40% of crime, 40% of the 18% are criminals (which would be 7.2 not 2.2)? How does that even follow?
In fact, that 40% of crime is committed by a group much smaller than 18%, young black males. A 50 year old black woman is less likely to be a criminal than a young white male.
Being on guard around groups of young men (of all races but particularly blacks) is just rational. Jesse Jackson admits he is, why should anybody else pretend?
As I speculate upthread, it might be illegal for McAfee to buy out of the money puts based on knowledge of his future behavior. But considering the global nature of stocks and McAfee's being unencumbered by excessive (any) respect for laws, I think he can likely get the bets down pseudo anonymously in one stock exchange or another.
The key question is: How many points will McAfee Security stock be moved by a trip to Carnival in Rio if John really gets a wild hair?
If they did, it was McAfee making them jump to his command.
He will run with it. What will he do next? Think of him as a rich/btard. One of the ones with good senses of humor.
Would it be insider trading for McAfee to buy out the money puts on his namesake, based on knowledge of insane things he intended to do very publicly? Could he charge large institutional investors (hedge funds) for that knowledge?
I may have invented a new crime. Granting one I can't personally profit from.
Go back? These schools aren't providing a decent education, just taking the money.
You can't make an unprepared student ready by giving him a loan for tuition. You can't make a school when you have unmotivated morons for a student body.
Sure the management of the schools are crooks, but their students are just as culpable.
There are few 'production' machinists these days. I remember rooms full of lathes being operated by ex-cons producing the same part over and over. Not that's all CNC.
But you still need prototype machinists. If you want 1 relatively simple thing made right away, there is unlikely to be a faster way than a machinist on manual machines.
We clearly have too many unqualified students going to (and graduating) college.
Which means that college education is over supported and K-12 is under supported. A BA used to mean something, now it's basically a certificate of attendance. Some schools BSs aren't much better.
If you don't want a degree, you can just take any courses you want at the CC.
While I was in HS I took the whole drafting sequence at the local CC, along with a couple of programming languages. Saved my 2 courses in Engineering school, but that wasn't the point.
All you need is control of the ballot boxes, either before or after the election.
Ballot boxes found in the car trunks of partisans have been counted in recent elections.
If we go to paper ballots we need clear ballot boxes, official voter ID for citizens and finger marking ink, like a 3rd world nation. That will never happen as it would mess with centuries old vote rigging practices.
Election worker shows up days after the election with a 'lost' ballot box from the trunk of their car. Votes are counted, election is turned. (Minnesota).
After the majority of polls are closed and one party knows exactly how many votes they need, a judge orders one districts polling place to remain open, long lines form after the official poll closing time and the district sways the state with 115% voter turnout. (St Louis, Missouri)
Slashdot Mirror
Bad Chinese electrolytic caps were _everywhere_ for a few years there. It's been more than 10 years, about 20. Tempus fugit.
The world continued to turn. Not everything was replaced in the bad cap window, not every OEM pinched that penny and not all bad caps failed when new.
It prevents the PHB's foot from being covered in feces when he puts it up some IT dweeb's butt after unscheduled downtime.
Last time that dweeb will ever try and tell a manager 'I told you so'.

Blame the PHB/CTO not the hardware.

That argument works for pot. But not for murder.
There are very few murders that just aren't counted. The rate of 'solving' murders is higher for whites. Most murders are within a racial group.
If anything black violent crime is undercounted.
That argument pretty much ends any discussion of gun control. So they can't have that.
90% of white murder victims are killed by whites.
90% of black murder victims are killed by blacks.
That DOES NOT mean they have similar murder rates.
Please read 'How to Lie With Statistics'. It will help you see through the derp.
John will just have more fun at their expense.

90% of programmers do boring bean counting with databases.
You excluded yourself from all the interesting work. Should have finished the calc and physics sequences.
Every new version for Android is _worse_ than the previous.
Keep your old version. I bet it, at least, rings when you get a call.
Brahmin MBA.
They don't come any dumber.
Flash drives containing no porn?
Never heard of that. Completely outside my experience.
The job title you guys are looking for is 'lineman'.
Electricians typically work in buildings, not on transmission lines.

The first universities fell into two categories. Schools for preachers and schools for engineers/soldiers.
Liberal arts is the end path of the divinity schools. It is still just indoctrination.
You say it yourself. A BA in a science is a BS with the math and other difficult parts removed.
You would never know, I've trashed many resumes for a BA in a science.
Also: The terrible judgement displayed by selecting a liberal arts school to study a science at.
They already made that TV show too. TwoTacoCombo is a trailer park supervisor. Must have graduated from ITT.

In the Engineering schools it is almost unheard of for a professor to not have at least 5 years in industry. Long and old tradition.
But that is engineering, CS is different.

Independent and partisan election observers at all polls, paper ballots, clear ballot boxes, voter ID, finger marking ink and public vote counting.
Otherwise it's just continuing the sham.
Also charges brought against the ineligible voters who are caught.

Happens all the time.
The system is crooked and has been for decades.
