  1. "The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough" on US To Create the Independent US Cyber Command, Split Off From NSA (pbs.org) · · Score: 1

    "As far as the cyber, I agree to parts of what Secretary Clinton said. We should be better than anybody else, and perhaps we’re not. I don’t think anybody knows that it was Russia that broke into the DNC. She’s saying Russia, Russia, Russia—I don't, maybe it was. I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China. It could also be lots of other people. It also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, okay?
    ...
    We came in with the Internet. We came up with the Internet. And I think Secretary Clinton and myself would agree very much, when you look at what ISIS is doing with the Internet, they’re beating us at our own game. ISIS.

    So we had to get very, very tough on cyber and cyber warfare. It is a huge problem. I have a son—he’s 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers. It’s unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe, it's hardly doable. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing. But that’s true throughout our whole governmental society. We have so many things that we have to do better, Lester. And certainly cyber is one of them."

    I for one, am relieved that we have this person making the tough decisions. He'll fix everything with cyber.

    We will likely use Windows 7 long after EOL. There really aren't any other good options for our business, right now. I'm surprised that nobody else has stepped in to fill the gap, yet.

    Right now, we're sticking with Windows 7. Luckily, there are still tons and tons and tons of extremely cheap licenses out there. After that, we don't know what we'll do.

  4. Re:Those places used by the left to indoctonate on In America, Most Republicans Think Colleges Are Bad for the Country (chronicle.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think you have your cause and effect correct. There's correlation, definitely. I would posit that being educated and learning to think reduces conservatism. Plenty of people go through a conservative phase in their teens. It's a simplistic way of thinking. Once you learn to reason a bit better, and think a bit deeper, people tend to grow out of those ideas. The problem is that a lot of people never do go past that simplistic world view. I don't think "indoctrination" has anything to do with it.

    Most of e-commerce today is people and companies selling stuff at a loss. Anybody could sell a dollar for $.90. It's really only an achievement to be proud of if your goal is to run up the sales numbers so you can sell the unprofitable business to some dummy who doesn't care about profit.

    In our industry (pet supplies), we see that happen over and over again.

    This is really an excellent thing to do. If they have the resources in counselors to handle it, it's really a great idea, and it could be a real help to the US education system at large. So many of the country's political, social, environmental, and economic problems come from people not thinking ahead. I'd love to see this go into place. I think this would help knock some sense into a lot of people who've never stopped to think for a few minutes about the future. I think something this simple could really nudge a generation of kids into some basic thoughtfulness.

  19. No, there's fundamental differences in philosophy behind those who want their lives dependent on the government and those that don't.
