Haven't you ever noticed how many Republicans loudly proclaim they don't help from the federal government, and, when their houses get flooded in a major storm, they're the first ones in line for federal assistance?
When I took Introduction to Computers in the early 1990's, the instructor informed us that 4GB with a 32-bit CPU was all the memory we would ever need. Back then 8- and 16-bit CPUs was quite common and RAM was in single-digit megabytes. His statement held true in my personal life until I upgraded my nine-year-old motherboard/processor/memory last year. For years I had 4GB RAM. Now I have 8GB RAM on my gaming rig and laptop, and 12GB on my file server. I think 4GB is the new 2GB.
That would imply its not a system-related outage, but rather an internet connection or switch issue.
I used to get dial-up Internet through a one-man IPS for ten years. The owner had the unfortunate luck of losing his two connections from different vendors to his servers in an out-of-state data center at the same time. When calling into the local phone bank, the local server picked up but could go no further. It took the vendors a week to repair the lines. By the time the ISP came back up with an added third line to the data center, I had already migrated to a different ISP.
One of the new usage for the new facility is to rent it out on weekend to generate revenue.
A new library and community center got built in a big building near my home. I was looking forward to the new library. On grand opening day, I discovered that the library was quite small. The rest of the space was for a full-size gym, basketball court and meeting rooms that the city could rent out to community groups. I never go to that library even though its the closest one to my home.
Uhh...this is known as an INFORMATION age for a reason. The best expanding jobs are in the information technology field. Plus information sharing and collaboration are primarily done through the Internet.
I heard that sales pitch back in the early 1980's when Apple ][ came into the middle school I attended. That's when I found out I came from a "poor" family because we couldn't afford a $2,500 Apple ][ (computer, two floppy drives and monochrome monitor). The funny thing is that not owning an Apple ][ didn't prevent me from pursuing a technology career.

Football existed before the INFORMATION age. Given a choice between a new computer lab and a new football field, most communities will want a new football field.
Most schools give lip service to spending money on reducing class sizes and getting Internet access. But when it comes to replacing the football field, the money can always be found for new football fields. When my parents retired to Sacramento in the mid-1990's, my father drove me around the county. He pointed out all the schools that didn't have money to reduce class sizes (the Internet was still "new" back then) but had the money to build a new football field. If one school was replacing their football field, all the schools had to replace their football field. Can't have schools lagging in important priorities.
When I worked at the Google IT help desk in 2008, a user called in to have a tech take remote control of her desktop and move the mouse on her instructions. So she called a coworker over to demonstrate a voice-controlled mouse. When the user gave instructions to move the mouse, the tech moved the mouse for her. The coworker was so amazed by this until she found out it was a prank.
Sounds like a serious math problem in counting "servings." I recommend buying a kitchen scale.
My portions are correct for a 1,500-calorie diet. You're assuming that I should be able to lose weight if I'm eating less than the recommended 2,000 calories per day. A recent fat study of the 2009 Biggest Losers contestant showed that they had a slower metabolism that never returned to normal (one contestant's metabolism required 800 fewer calories) and gained weight on the recommended 2,000-calorie diet. It's possible that my metabolism requires less calories than I'm currently eating.
I'm curious - in a previous story and previous post you said you were a programmer.
I have an A.S. in computer programming but I don't work professionally as a programmer. I do occasionally write or modify a PowerShell script at work. I program in Python at home.
Exporting that data to CSV takes them a few mins, and my program (written in R, of all things) processed it and spat out the correct matrices (in CSV form) in a matter of minutes.
It takes me a few minutes to highlight the text in the columns that I need, create a blank Excel file, and paste the text into the new Excel file. The new Excel file behaves fine. If I worked with the original CSV file, Excel has to recalculate the entire spreadsheet with 1M+ blank cells for every little change.
This is the first time I wrote about cc'ing the supervisor.
Yes, a new story relevant to topic. Miracles and wonders abound.
How's that 1500 calorie diet? Still at 350 pounds years later?
The analog weight scales at the gym are no longer "thunking" at 350 pounds. One scale says I'm 334 pounds and the other one won't settle between 325 and 350 pounds. I got a 400-pound digital scale on order from Amazon. Otherwise, the 1,500 calorie per day diet is going fine.
Just in time for it all to have been offshored, eh?
The other half of that study is all the foreign workers going home. They already went home for the skilled construction trade, and, with kids being pushed into college, no one to replace an aging workforce.
I had supervisor who thought I tried to get the last supervisor fired because I documented everything — and refused to stop documenting everything when he told me to do so after he became supervisor. He told me to cc'd him on all emails because he didn't trust me. So I did. Unlike other people in the department, I had a lot of emails going in and out of my inbox. He got a flood of emails. Since he insisted on being cc'd to my emails, I kept deferring to him for decisions on everything. He gave up on the email and switched to a remote desktop monitoring program.

Yeah, only republicans caused the problem.

They should have used Ubuntu.
The problem that the Democratic government of Louisiana made over the last 50 years? That one?
The 58.1% that voted for Trump.

And Republicans will insist that the federal government pick up the tab for fixing the problems that they made.
Ruining kids' lives in order to collect pension checks seems to be a high priority for government schools these days.
As if private and/or religious schools don't have their own set of problems.
The reality is that we now have the least transparent administration in a very long time.
FTFY - The Trump Administration is discarding 40+ years of post-Watergate reforms.
So many pockets to fill, so little time.
Sometimes you need to spend money to make money.
When schools become profit centers, the focus on education gets lost.

I've already answered this question the other day. Why don't you troll someone else?
In any case, don't post a response. Spare us, please.
If you don't want a response, don't respond to my comments. But most trolls can't exercise self-restraint.
