Some of us grew up with those command line machines and we still know command line to this day. Plus programming - you had to write your own software back then and it meant understanding how to break problems down into codeable pieces.
I ordered a pair of sneakers. They of course shipped via UPS who in my area is more famous for doing tag and run than delivering packages.
So I had to go down to the depot to get the package. First she asks for ID - I asked was she law enforcement? If no then you cannot see it. She places the package on the counter i pick it up and walk out. She chases after me because I didn't sign for it either. It was too funny.
Dell used to include an install partition on the disk to re-install the O/S. Where Mr. Lundgren screwed up was when he was selling those discs. That's the fraud part.
So meats, vegetables and dairy products - all they left out is fruits. Sort of like what I say about vegans - if they pull the moral superiority card out I mention that trees and plants also communicate, reproduce etc. They're just as alive as say a chicken or us. So eat air.
Is certain Asian and southeast nations cracking down on crypto-currency. Governments in those places are cracking down because they realized they had nowhere to track payments using BitCoin, Ripple, Ethereum etc.

But like it or not it's coming, Ripple is interesting though. They're looking to super-cede the SWIFT banking transfer method and of course extract their pound of flesh for the doing. And they've got some big banks on board, like Santander, American Express, etc.
I wouldn't say the sky is falling - but if you look around you can see where the changes are happening. Retail stores, medicine, cars and trucks. In fact right now IBM's Watson is at a few hospitals and legal firms. It's learning what it can to replace the doctors and lawyers. Here's the thing about law - all law is made up of understanding how to research, knowing the rules of the courts etc. It's funny.
The thing is most people are in fact sheep. They've had the message to not question the man behind the curtain their entire lives. So they do what they can and ignore the rest.
That is why we don't see people in the streets. However that's just because the right leader hasn't emerged yet. If you can get someone to unite the sheep it's all over for the robber barons and the rich. In fact there have been a few rich guys who have warned of this.
I want lobbyist and legislator heads on pikes. Let it serve as a warning to those who remain if they still continue to espouse the belief that corporate entities have the same rights as flesh and blood people then the same penalty is coming for them. Make them do the biding of the people, not the churches, corporations, etc.
AI and robotics are going to push into EVERY sphere. From medicine to law to truck driving. So what the hell can you re-train as? You can already see it in retail stores, they're installing self checkouts and the number of manned checkouts is going way down.
And don't think McDonald's, Wendy's or Burger King are going to help - they'll embrace robotics too.
And we don't manufacture anything in this country anymore - well cars to some degree and computer chips. But even those will move to being more robotic.
I wouldn't be so sure of this. State Government by hook or by crook manages to secure things. The Federal side though is full of holes.
Part of it has to do with Congress starving budgets. But this kids only mistake was messing with the FBI. If he'd just done Verizon which btw, is corporate America and has experience breeches before. When you put people that are art majors in place as you CISO you're gonna get breeched.
That if the fossil was found where they say - and it's on the edge of say 190,000 years old that in my thinking pushes the existence of homo sapiens out to 200,000-250,000 years.
And basically we were hunter/gatherer for close to 245,000 years. Oh and this puts a serious dent in the Earth at 6,000 years old crowd.
Yeah but who gets the money? I had Vonage for a long time and then they started cramming all the bogus fees on there. At the time both of us had mobile phones so the decision was made to kick Vonage to the curb.
But the thing is, telecoms have been famous for putting charges on bills that never went to the state agencies etc. but only allowed them to recover taxes they paid to the state.
Years ago I had worked for the RI Sec. of State's office. It was housed in the sub-basement of the RI State House. We used to always think of ways to test information security - like getting a few USB sticks and printing the state seal on them and scattering them in the parking lots.
But of course cops being cops - they would pass out infected USB sticks to info-sec quiz winners.
On Windows 10 you can't kill Cortana. So I just take the route of blocking all access to microsoft's Bing because that is what I found Cortana using to phone home.
Here in the U.S., New England region with Cox and Verizon. I know Cox offers IPv6 and my router can handle it. But I've been loathe to do so as the 255^3 addresses using only three octets that I have available are plenty. And the NAT works perfectly.
We had a VP who we called a sea gull manager as in he'd fly in, shit all over everything and fly out.
One day I get an email from Rackspace saying they were going to shut us off. I forwarded it to the VP and the Controller, then tried to call the VP. When I finally got through he told me he was in meetings and couldn't handle it. So I went and visited the CFO and Controller - I told them that not expediting payment would be a business ending move. The CEO heard it too.
Few weeks later all of I.T. and Development are called into a meeting - telling us the VP of I.T. was being let go. Oops.
The distances between planets that may or may not contain intelligent life are vast. So vast I strongly doubt a more advanced civilization can do FTL.
However I will say, I know in physics time travel is mathematically possible. So what some people might be seeing vis a vis the life forms are likely advanced humans.
Particularly on the wired side. I can choose from either Cox Communications or Verizon -- Cox is just slightly less odious than Verizon. And the pricing is pretty much the same.
Now for wireless we have T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, et al. They just beat each other up on a regular basis regards pricing. Right now I pay $85 a month for two phones. So that works out to $42.50 per phone. Not too much but $30 would be better.

Even the Russians used multiple smaller engines in their space program. And if I'm not mistaken the Saturn V used five of them.

If widespread AI occurs I plan to swear at it like a trooper. See how it handles that.

One company that does this right now is at&t. No wonder to get an internet feed from them is really expensive. They have to pay for all those people.

Because the biggest part of UPS is their interstate transfer system.
And as a final act their heads on pikes in front of the U.S. Capitol would be perfection.

I mean come on, BASIC isn't geeky, neither is C, C++ etc. And now Python sure.
It only applies to the Apple universe. Lots of us moved on to Android platforms.
Is rule saying the last mile is a public right.
