Fox News doesn't want to disturb their audience with the idea that black people are smart. Or even capable of being the President of the United States.
Except when someone non-white does something, in which case we need to have the race or skin colour shoved in our face.
Not true. A black female student won a prestigious prize in New York City. Fox News ran the story without showing her picture. Everyone else showed her picture. Go figure.
Scary thing is I've interviewed candidates who claimed to have some RH training as their linux background, yet could not answer some relatively simple command line stuff.
My Linux instructor at college was all command line. All my work experience is was command line. If you could open a terminal window, half your job was already done.
I'm assuming/hoping this was some crappy 'Linux training' class rather than any official RH curriculum.
I heard that the RH certification program is really good. I'm a senior system admin on Windows, but I found out that senior system admin on Linux gets paid more at my company.
I've been told for years by Indian recruiters with thick accents that I need to know the "Red Hat GUI thing" to qualify for a Linux system admin position. I've always responded that I'm not a GUI but I know the command line quite well. Because they couldn't check off the "Red Hat GUI thing" item on their checklist, I never got an interview. So I finally built a spare system, installed the current version of Red Hat Linux, and discovered... Gnome. KDE was also available. But no "Red Hat GUI thing" that the recruiters kept telling me that I needed to know. Does the "Red Hat GUI thing" even exist?
[...] people that advocate Open Source as a way to fix it are people that should not be in IT making IT decisions.
From my 20+ years of experience in working in IT, these decisions are often made outside of IT and IT gets stuck with the implementation tasks. Worse, a non-IT owner will be responsible for maintaining the software and applying updates on a regular basis. Doesn't happen. Six months later, IT gets dinged in a security audit and has to take over the server since the non-IT owner went AWOL.
You still have to log in, respond to any post-update screen messages, and make sure nothing else is broken. Multiple that by a half-dozen WordPress websites, it becomes a lot of work. A static website doesn't require that much housekeeping.
Keeping multiple WordPress websites up to date has become such a nuisance that I'm converting the older ones to static websites. Those 4,000+ hackers per day have nothing to hack at a static website and go away to find easier targets.
So according to you, universities should host anything for free, including child pornography.
That's YOUR OPINION, not mine. Everyone knows that the child pornography websites are operated by the FBI. Your federal tax dollars at work.
A Washington state school administrator has lost a high-profile bid to suppress evidence against him secured by the FBI during an operation in which it secretly ran one of the Internet's largest child pornography websites in order to catch its users.
Meanwhile, here you are, working for the government, with tax dollars as your payroll, suggesting that they DON'T deserve the meager benefits that this country DOES give them!
That's YOUR OPINION, not mine. For the record, I could make 40% more money in the private sector. That's a lot of money to leave on the table to help veterans.
What an asshole you are!
I wouldn't be working in IT if I wasn't.
I can only infer that you do not agree with those points, so your "I help veterans every day" BS is simply that: BS of the highest order, to the point that it's hypocrisy
I may be an asshole, but I'm not a nitpicking asshole. Just because I don't respond to every point you raise, it doesn't mean I agree or disagree. I have a limited amount of time to troll the trolls on Slashdot.;)
The story I heard was that PowerShell got written because Microsoft paid for new lines of code and not for refactoring old lines of code like CMD.EXE (command line). Hence, you got two command line utilities. BASH will make it three.
My advice is get some education and plunge into corporate America, Europe or wherever you are.
When I made a transition from being a video game tester to lead tester, I went back to college to learn computer programming and earn my technical certifications. I was immediately branded as "not a team player" because I had an exit strategy. Three years later I left the company, went back to school full-time for a year, and started my career in IT. I haven't looked back.
Apparently, this only applies to Twitter employees, and not actually "All New Parents".
I worked at Accolade/Infogrames/Atari (same company, different owners, multiple personality disoders), the French VP announced to everyone that they were getting stock options at staff meeting. Everyone was happy — except the HR manager, who did a face palm. He then read off the paper that the stock options were restricted to managers, looked up and got confused by all the angry faces. We all got 160 stock options that vested over five years. For the next two years, we watched the share price go from $20.00 to $0.20 per share as the dot com bust unfolded and the company slid into bankruptcy.
He was famous for getting rid of people while leaving the buildings standing in the same vein as a neutron bomb.
He was famous of people slavishly following his business philosophy (or lack thereof).
"I want you to bring me solutions," my boss told me one day. "Not problems."
"So you want me to do your job?" I replied back. "I'll add that to my to-do list."
Several months after that conversation, my boss gave me the "his way or the highway" speech. So I put in my resignation, went back to school, and got a better paying job.
As for my old boss, he rode the company all the way into bankruptcy.

1. Google adopts Swift programming language! ...
2. iOS developers port their iPhone apps to Android!
3.
4. Profits!
Said some bored high school student on the internet. So jeezuz christ! It muse be trues!
Now this was written by a bored high school student.
However, the incident was true. Unfortunately, I can't provide a link. A Google search returns too many recent results for Fox News and racism.
Isn't it racism?

Because the government will totally talk about things marked as TOP SECRET in the news media.
Not the government, elected officials. Remember when Vice President Dick Cheney revealed Valarie Plame's identity as a CIA agent?

You obviously read the first link but not the second link (see below) that mentioned the SIMM modules, as someone else already pointed out to you.

How many cat videos were found on the terrorist's iPhone?
Seems pretty simple to me

At Blizzard the QA manager knows who the aspiring programmers and artists are.
Mike Gilmartin was my boss at Atari as well.
You know, the kind of stuff that leads to people dying in many countries?
How many people are CONFIRMED DEAD from [Hillary | Marco | Ted]'s leaks to the news media?
*crickets*
That's what I thought.

When you ditch morals and discernment, all bets are off.
No one is asking you to give up your morals. Just don't use the Bible or the law as a fig leaf to justify your hatred towards your fellow citizen.
And there is nothing the men can do (legally) to stop the women from entering.
That could explain why the cleaning woman is cleaning up the men restroom while I'm taking a leak.
Those born men go through this door and those born women go through that door.
So a unisex restroom is asking for too much?
So while you are crying "bigots!" and "discrimination!" I say go fuck yourself, snowflake.
People like you give this country a bad name.
