  1. Didn't we all wonder the same thing about C# ?
    Same thing with Ruby, Rust, Java?

    What a turd Java is. Man thing is always needing to be updated. It's also like the cockroach of languages. Never know where in the filesystem you'll fine an instance of old java laying around because the developers didn't know how to write java code such that it would work under newer versions. Lots of incompetent Java people out there.

    Don't kid yourself. I remember in the 1980s when I visited the journalism building, don't remember why. Anyhow, Reagan was President and all they could talk about was how terrible he was. You would have thought he was grinding up baby cats in the WH basement or something. I remember one Prof actually saying Reagan killed a baby on camera. I asked when was that and he got very vague. I said it never happened, did it. After about 5 minutes of back peddling he admitted he made it all up. That's what they teach - lies.

    There could be a good honest reporter out there, however if they are one they're going to be a conservative reporter. Certainly not a liberal one because they can't stop drinking the cool aid (ok, probably the pot cigarette) long enough to think. Trump trolls them well and like the cat & laser bit he plays them well and gets things done.

    Dude, you're backwards. Look at facts. Who do we know that was passing his own executive orders that were clearly illegal and stuck down by courts and they kept right on doing them? Obama. Who had scandal after scandal after major scandal and continues to have scandals even after he's departed - obama. Latest one is all of his missing records. Same thing happened with Clinton with his people being caught red handed trying to remove materials from the national archives. Who accuses the other side of doing exactly what they're doing - the democrats. Sex stuff, turns out they were the sex machines and covered it up for decades and we all know it now.

    No, no. Democrats are the left. So are communist, fascist, socialist. In order from left to right. Then you're balanced. Then you go towards the conservative side. Take a political test to see where you are - https://www.politicalcompass.o...

    Where did you see that he had stuff on a USB stick? I just looked up his case. He was found out by his own mouth, a wire tap and a real CP guy that had records of Fogle. They seized his stuff, I don't see any mention of a USB stick anywhere. If you don't remember that's fine. This would be the first case that I know of where they stored stuff on a USB stick and had nothing on their machine. Usually it's all on their machine. In the open. They don't think they'll ever get caught.

    Want a real read? Read about Fogle. Man, that guy had a real problem. Maybe as bad as Bill Clinton's. Don't leave any woman that you care about in the same room as Bill.

    NK is giving them up. What else do we need to know? NK is really a broken country with no options. Their test site collapsed and is totally useless now. They're just about out of food and out of options. Just bad options and options that get a lot of their people, including KJU killed. China has had enough of them too. Especially after his hits abroad.

    Trump is exactly the right guy at the right time to do this. Get us out of another Democratic mess. Just like Nixon got us out of Kennedy's Vietnam mess.

  8. That used to be a thing in the 1990s. ned@something.com or joe@something.com. Then they used to get spam like crazy. I'd see e-mail for and it would start with the a's and go through the z's, male and female names.

    Much better to have your initials instead of something like jdoe@something.com or john.doe@something.com. Just jmd@something.com.

    Of course there are companies like the one that I work for that publicly put out there all of the internal e-mail addresses like idiots. They say we have anti-spam stuff... yea, sure. Runs on outlook. So instead of 5000 messages a day we get more like 100 useless messages a day.

There seems to be a factory that is around, well I'll say it a big fuckin' battery factory that makes Tesla's look small and it's about to open. Soon. When it does that could impact tesla. Just sayin'.

    I've never had stock in Tesla.

    Tesla could join the ranks of Tucker, Studebaker, Nash and other American car companies. From what I see, I think that's a very real possibility.

    Still a bad investment. Labor problems, quality control problems, etc. I know a guy that owns a Telsa. He said he won't ever own another one. He had a hell of a time with them and their policies. Looking on the net, he's not alone. Stories about the second market and leaving a man stranded because the charging station would no longer work for him, bad battery connectors... and so on and so forth. Even on slashdot I've read horror stories about tesla.

    Few policy changes would help a hell of a lot. However as it is right now, there's no way I'd invest in it.

    How do you know? If you had ipv6 turned on you should see an address, even if it's a mac address generated one.

    Get a later computer, load a real OS like Fedora. Not sure if Debian has taken the code from RedHat to support IPV6 yet. Took them a while to get the network stuff that RedHat wrote into their production years ago. Hook it up to the router, fire it up and see if you get an address.

    I've been IPV6 for years. It's not all a bed of roses though. Google for example supports ipv6, however from time to time I can't get to them using ipv6. I have to turn off ipv6 so it'll make it use ipv4. Works fine. Sometimes I can't get to any of the google machines, last time (yesterday) it was just the google search page itself. Symptoms are it'll just sit there and won't load. I can get to other places fine. Then if I leave it alone for a while it'll start working again. Nothing changed on my side, it's all static out to my firewall.

    Hope you're running your own DNS as well. We don't need to use the providers stinkin' DNS.

    Climate change is solid science, and the way to stop it in this case is tech.

    Climate change denialism is a rejection of science, in favor of greed.

    Determining a way for humans to survive it's own self created disasters is not "eco-fascist" nor propaganda.

    If it's solid science, why do they keep calling it a consensus? They can't prove CO2 has anything to do with warming and you know it, or should. I can show by showing you the historical records that CO2 follows warming, doesn't cause it. That's because of increased biological activity. This isn't hard.

    Greed is charging for "carbon credits" and walking away with the money, which is exactly what they're doing. It's a scam.
