When I was growing up in the 1970's, kids were blowing up toads with firecrackers and garbage cans with pipe bombs. Kids today can't step on a sidewalk crack without their parents hovering over them and the police ready to detain them.
The various voting blocs in the Democratic Party are not at war with each other. The White House got 42 Democrats to filibuster and frustrate the Republicans over the Iranian nuclear deal. If House Speaker John Boehner offered the Democrats a clean spending bill, Nancy Pelosi could pass the bill overwhelmingly with nearly every Democrat voting and a handful of Republicans voting. That's unity. Something the Republicans haven't demonstrated so far this year.
Of course, now we have all these people of various stripes in the democratic party pulling the party all over the place.
The Democrats are fairly unified. It's the Republicans in Congress and running for president who are "all over the place", being unable to agree on anything.
As a nine-year-old in the early 1980's, I used to freak out little old ladies at the library reference desk by asking for the Bomb Making Handbook. It was listed in the card catalog but wasn't on the shelf. Never got the book. Did find a chemistry reference book with a few base formulas for explosives. Blowing up crap was a lot easier back then it is today.
As a result of women fearing men being near their children, men have pretty much been run out of the education system.
Not quite. I wanted to be a teacher and my instructors encouraged me, as many boys are raised only by their mothers that they have no male role model to look up. When the local university had a seminar on becoming a teacher in California, I saw the entire sausage-making process up close and fled in terror of ever becoming a teacher. You really need to be stupid to go through that process.
I only work 40 hours a week from 7:00AM to 3:30PM (1/2 hour lunch), as specified in my contract. The last time I worked 80 hours a week was ten years ago. I've been doing I.T. support for 18 years. If you're smart (which I doubt), you wouldn't reply to this comment.
You are an intentional troll aren't you? You say one thing, then refute it with another, are called out on your inconsistency and the best you have is an unsolicited personal attack.
You're trolling me with your circular arguments, misrepresentations of what I wrote and personal attacks against me. You can't even reply to correct comment! If you're complaining about being an AC on/., turn in your geek creds and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
He flunked English while getting his CS degree. There's a difference between referring yourself in the third-person and using self in class method. Some programmers never learn that.
This student made the president's list for maintaining a 4.0 G.P.A. in a Computer Programming A.S. degree while taking two classes per semester for five years, working 80 hours a week a lead video game tester, and occasionally teaching Sunday school.
I had to take Apple ][ Logo in the seventh grade (circa 1984). That's when I found out I came from a "poor" family because we didn't have cable TV to get MTV and I got a $250 Commodore 64 instead of a $2,500 Apple ][ for Christmas. My childhood was forever ruined.
I spent the last decade doing IT support contract work and making 80% more money than the poor schmucks who stayed in one job and earned 2% raises. So what?
No, I worked at a Google data center where they implemented their version of the $1M Cisco router. Most shops I worked for are Fortune 500 companies that buy a lot of Cisco equipment. I'm not in the SOHO market like you.
If you can deliver a product that is easier to maintain and cheaper than the largest network gear provider to have ever existed, why aren't you a billionaire via eating Cisco's lunch?
The $1M Cisco router doesn't take up two rows of equipment row, but it does require very precise wiring between internal components and has a PITA reputation to maintain. Google workaround to that is to implement the same router functionality with standard equipment. This is slightly more expensive than a single router, easier maintain in the long run and allows the implementation of newer technologies to replace existing parts when they become available.

Why do you think the U.S. in falling behind in training scientists and engineers. Ignorance is the rule, not the exception.

What's prohibited is whatever the principal says is prohibited. For the children's safety, obviously.
George W. Bush has been out of office for nearly seven years. Time to let go of the hate and move on.
He doesn't quite look a Native American.
All those naughty bits are traveling at the speed of light. Anything is bound to happen.

It's called a nickel arcade. Vintage arcade machines for a nickel per play.
Python uses "self" and "other". Being a somewhat flexible language, you could probably get away with using "this" and "that" instead.

I'm a moderate conservative. However, everyone kept telling me I was Democrat. So I changed my party affiliation. That was the only thing I changed.

In California, building a new football field takes a higher priority over reducing classroom size.

Or I can work 40 hours a week with great benefits and run my business on the weekends. Paying the bills AND making extra money. Woo-hoo!

Are you jealous that I'm enjoying my peanuts while you're slinging monkey poo to hide the fact that you're unemployable?

Don't you get tired making circular arguments with yourself? This is Slashdot, not Politico.
