Cisco, Intel, Expedia, VMware and Microsoft employees were the most likely to say that they did not make enough money.
No kidding? Cisco, Intel, and VMWARE are located in Silicon Valley, where cost of living is astronomical. Expedia and Microsoft are in Bellevue, WA and Redmond, Wa, where the median cost of a home hovers around $900K.Toss in excessive unpaid overtime, and a person would be crazy not to consider themselves underpaid.
The OP said, "I'm sure they have to license patents from Intel, but last I checked that was required by law"
In other words, the law requires that AMD license any Intel patents they use. Not sure how you construed his comment to mean Intel is required to license their patents to AMD.
I Iost one of my car key dongles and found I had a choice. I could go to the dealer, pay a lot of money for a replacement, and pay a lot more for the programming; or, I could go to an auto locksmith, pay less for the replacement, and have the programming thrown in at no extra charge.
Going to a dealer is almost always a poor choice if an alternative is available.
Unless it comes from the mammary gland of a mammal then by definition it is not milk.
Actually, the definition of "milk" includes any liquid resembling the opaque white liquid secreted by mammary glands of female mammals. When you claim that something is so "by definition", maybe you should look it up, just to be sure.
The Mueller indictments will be based on evidence which can be examined, and accuses specific Russians of hacking and leaking the DNC through wikileaks.
That would be great, but these indictments will never result in a trial, so the supposed evidence will never see the light of day.
(3) the russians tried, succeed and found something
(4) the russians did not try
I think the first two, as argued, are not likely to be the right one. The last 2 suggests something problematic.
Wait, what? You think it's problematic if the Russians did not try?
Nice rant. Too bad you missed the point entirely. The "obvious" that was restated in the OP was not that a photograph is not as good as the real thing; nor did it have anything to do with the opinion of the "average person" (where did that come from, anyway?). The point was that the OP restated what TFS had already made quite clear. I think the "average person" reading TFS would understand that. If you disagree, you have a low regard for the "average person" your post tries to exalt.
"Plan for a circuit board" doesn't necessarily mean "PCB design"; it could include pretty much anything from a schematic diagram to a bill of materials to FPGA design files.
From TFS: But most importantly, you can experience the stunning breadth of his art through your screen -- no replacement for the physical spaces of galleries, but a worthy means nonetheless of communing with Van Gogh's vision.
No one's claiming that the digitized images are "substitutes for the real thing." But thanks for restating the obvious.
And I call BS right back at you. My first smartphone was an iPhone 4, and I didn't care for it at all. Two years later I ditched it an got a Galaxy S4, and found it far superior to the iPhone. Today I have a Galaxy S8+, and I'm very happy with it. My wife, on the other hand, loves her iPhone 6s. I guess it's a matter of personal choice.
When I was young, it was Ford vs Chevy. Now it's iPhone vs Android. Pick the one you like, and STFU about it.
The concentration camps were manned and run by members of the SS, not your run of the mill Nazi conscript. And yes, you can blame all SS for what some SS did - they were all volunteers, and all fanatically dedicated to carrying out their Furher's wishes.
That is super-dramatic. Let's think about typical felonies for a moment:
Your list is a lot more dramatic that the OP's post, consisting almost entirely of violent felonies. Many non-violent crimes are felonies, including forgery and vandalism.
And btw, you have no constitutional right to strut around with a gun, unless you're part of a well regulated militia.
That argument has been debunked so thoroughly and so frequently by Constitutional scholars that I'm surprised you have the temerity to use it in public.
I've never seen anybody pay sales tax at a yard sale, and sometimes the items are brand new.
Maybe online businesses should just call themselves huge yard sales.:)
What you've observed is probably casual violation of tax code. Depending on the state, yard sales may or may not be subject to sales tax. Proceeds from yard sales are generally not taxable because the items are usually sold at a loss.
In the case of resale of used goods, I thought the tax was already paid when the product was sold new.
Think again. Buy a used car from a dealership, pay sales tax. Buy a used car from a private party, pay a use tax. Buy a piece of used furniture from an antique store, pay sales tax. Buy anything at a Salvation Army or Goodwill store, pay sales tax.
Not particularly. But they don't outweigh cows, either. An adult male moose may weigh as much as 1500 lbs; cows weigh in at around 1600 lbs. Both are smaller than the bull, though, at 2400 lb. TFS says "domestic cow at about 900kg" (1980 lb). That's a really big cow, but not as large as a bull.
$2T is less than we spend on SSA/Medicare/Medicaid. Which we should, theoretically, be able to dispense with if we have a UBI. So the money is already there.
The average Social Security benefit is over $17,000/year; max is over $32,000. Looks like you want a lot of people to accept massive decreases.

I hate to break it to you and the OP, but the overwhelming majority of "tech jobs" are not in IT.

Starting? I think that boat sailed (and probably sank) years ago.
Indeed. The National Enquirer was founded in 1926. But then, it's not run by Russian agents (afaik), so maybe it doesn't count.

"Momentarilly" means for a short time, not in a short time. The word you want is "presently".
Really, dude. Check a dictionary before you embarrass yourself by posting uninformed nonsense like this.

America is a continent, not a country. You must mean USian.
America
Noun.
1. United States.
2. North America.
3. South America.
4. Also called the Americas. North and South America, considered together.

Stealing from poor artists is about the lowest of the low. Trump hates art so he constantly destroys the lives of artists.
The image appears on stamps sold between 2011 and 2014, do I guess it was Obama stealing from the poor artist.
Mario and Luigi would like a word with you.
Do exceptions mean there is no rule?
Those aren't exceptions. Italian names, as a rule, end in vowels; feminine names, as a rule, end in the letter 'a'.
In the USA, Hugo, Leo, and Theo would also like a word.
Fair enough. How about reckless endangerment, forgery, and vandalism, which are all felonies in California.
That is super-dramatic. Let's think about typical felonies for a moment:

Are moose endangered or something?
