I do really well on predicting things over the past 40 years. I predict Windows on the desktop will go away and Linux will take over. It's inevitable. Windows is crap and they can't secure it because of the underlying OS. Even network I/O is at least half as efficient as a Linux stack. They're simply outclassed and they know it. It's band aids on top of bubble gum on top of rubber bands... and so on. She's going to blow! I think Nedella realizes this and wants to just dump that crap. Move it over to Linux like they should have done 20 years ago when I predicted it. They should have sold the Windows OS to IBM for say a billion, ported office over to Linux and left IBM holding the bag like they did with OS2. Trust lawsuit goes away, everyone is happy except IBM, again.
I hear it all the time. "We have a problem. It has to do with "$fill in something". The cloud will fix this problem." Fill in something is often a security concern. Sometimes computing power. They migrate, then see the bill and realize the stupidity of going to the cloud. With Security they have an audit and get slapped down good. It can be secure, however it's just someone else's computer. They still have to do everything they would normally.
The truth is only what the Democrats want it to be. Even if they have to revise it like they did on immigration. Just check out Bill Clinton's or more recently Obummer's and Shuemer's videos as recently as 2012 to today. It's just amazing people believe them.
They understood it, they were being screwed. Brussels was telling them what they could and couldn't do and they had to suck it up. All of those leftist and in some cases fascist rules.
Predictions were the sky would fall, well it hasn't. They're doing just fine. Maybe the US will have to rescue Europe soon from the fascists in Europe again.
You're kidding, right? The sky didn't fall either. The UK is doing just fine thank you. No more being told what to do by a bunch of crazy leftists in Brussels. They have their own fascist government thank you. I'm referring to the stupid ruling recently with the dog that does the Sieg Heil salute. Something the REAL Nazis didn't have a problem with back in the day when they found out about someone that did it then. So they're more fascist than the real fascists.
I think maybe they're getting tired of him. Guy has been freeloading off of them for 5 years. I think it's just a matter of time before he ventures out and is arrested.
Late, however it's almost here. Complete with a ministry of truth that people believe and is the lying news media.
Far cry from when I was growing up. There was no police presence at the school. No panic button. Other than an occasional theft or assault they weren't needed. As a kid I also had guns in my bedroom. One of the was a high powered rifle. We learned marksmanship as kids. All of us did. We also learned respect. We had adults that for the most part told us the truth.
Now we have political correctness - a leftist divisive idea. They're trying to put us all back into slavery. Most likely a Feudal system.
AC - are you kidding? There is plenty to show that Mr. Eistein was human. Study the man, you'll see he had trouble with very simple stuff and was ridiculed as a boy. Thank God he was, it is probably what made him the man he became.
Did you know about the fuckyer? It's a % sign. So if they have #WomensRights, just counter that with a fuckyer - %WomensRights. I introduced the Troll. It's a * sign. *WomensRights.
Some people can't handle the troll though. I even tell people I'm about to troll them and they STILL fall for it. Conditioned responses from the left. It's so much fun, for the whole family.
Don't be so quick to say this is a long time. Could have been an animal that would have been clear by the time the car was there. Instead it was just a stupid woman that should have stayed where she was until the car passed.
Not the same thing and you know it. Freedom of religion. It's protected. Homosexuality is not protected. Race is. If you think it's protected, show me in the US Code where it is. You won't find it.
(if we're talking about the same case -) The thing is, they baked cakes for that couple in the past. They simply didn't want to participate in that ceremony. Said they'd bake the cake, they wouldn't be there. Somehow that is discrimination? Sounds more like forced slavery. If you don't show up for their "wedding", you lose everything you own, which they did. All because they were somehow offended?
You're defending that?
No, this was as close as they could get to a lynching of Christians. As the other guy said - how come Muslims get away with this. They wouldn't bake them a cake under any circumstances. They also don't carry pork products. Should we make them or say they're discriminating upon Christians? They lose everything they own?
Keep it up. Set that into law. Don't like someone, claim some BS and they lose everything. Just wait until you're on the receiving end.
BTW, Not sure why they want to call it a wedding. Call it what it is - a screwing. Then they can say they were screwed after they divorce.
Morality. The left keeps trying to do away with any respect. Don't believe in God either. You are a victim if you're not a white male. Then you really are a victim but can't say anything because it's not PC. They have people to stir up and get upset enough to commit crimes and act like assholes.
Are you gay? Are you a woman? Are you hispanic? Are you just an asshole? You can protest and make a fool of yourself too! Just participate in the not so thinly veiled leftist protests.
BTW, there is also far more non criminal use of guns in the US than the rest of the world.
Depends on where you are. Some places require businesses to buy power from the power company because they could generate power for far less than the Government can. So sometimes they can run it for say a day or 3 days... sometimes certain days a month. Some places don't care, run it all you want. Depends on how the local government is. They can be real assholes or they can be very useful. Where I am they seem to be useful, so far.
They're talking about household power, however. That's a big deal with all the electric cars coming on the grid too. I figure a lot of places will need a heavy-upgrade soon to handle it. Some of the American infrastructure is around 100 years old, or more. The original Tesla/Westinghouse lines. Probably most of it is over 50 years old and they never imagined this kind of a drain on power.
What about the "un-named source" reports that are so common with CNN that turn out to be absolutely false?
There are still people that believe the Trump collusion delusion. So many people are like - today will be the day they finally have some proof. Maybe they're waiting for proof on the tooth fairy and the money from the dead Nigerian Prince.
There is also the matter of the very good, probably enough to convict proof about Hillary's collusion with the Russians.
It's really none of their business and it can hurt you. Say you manage to negotiate higher pay. Say it's on 30K more than the person in the same office as you, doing similiar, however not nearly as tough work as you. They won't see it. The human mind is terrible that way. If it's a black person or woman, the abrasive people out there have put it in their mind that it's because of that, not because of their abilities.
Now the boss has a problem. What to do? Raise their pay which they probably can't or you'll leave because they're not as bright or fire you/them?
Better you just STFU. Not cause problems.
I can remember a time when someone I was working with was being very much underpaid. I mean way underpaid. The boss left the details on his desk, so I told the guy he may want to look at the guys desk. He resisted... I said - you *REALLY* need to look at that paper. He didn't say a word. He quit that day and more than tripled his salary that coming Monday when he started in his new job.
They had machines running in terms of Megahertz instead of Giga hertz like today. I used to sell them. I used to run real Unix, Free BSD Unix on them and they had little memory, usually 4 Megabytes. I used to set up answering services, etc complete with a lan, database and such and it was all reasonable speed. With any luck they're talking about something like a 486-33. I used to sell those boards like hot cakes. Case at a time. Memory used to be a bitch because they were millipede like and I remember my fingers used to just about bleed inserting them into their sockets. 4 Megabytes and if I remember right, it was 36 chips to get it. Better than what we used to have to do when we had 4K chips. We'd have a whole tray and it would be like 64K.
We still have people robbing banks, with guns, knives, bombs, etc.
And not one with fully automatic guns. So yes, it did work, by your own admission in both of your previous posts. No more fully automatic guns, no more fully automatic gun crimes. Simple, and very directly correlated.
Of course, the Chicago Beer Wars only really ended when Prohibition was repealed. The largest part of current gun crime is linked to New Prohibition. Food for thought.
You realize there are still fully auto guns in private hands today, so what you're saying is clearly wrong. Fully auto guns in crimes was never very common. So it didn't work. You won't get this point because you can't show it's true. It could be amusing to see you try though. It's a fools errand, let's see if you're a fool or not.
It's trivial to show you that the more gun control we have the worse the problem with guns is.
It most certainly is not trivial, especially since you proceeded to confuse yourself in the same paragraph.
I'm not confused, you are. It's easy when your logic is flawed. I've been following gun control since the 1970s. Plenty of studies. The ones that show gun control works in every case I've researched, it was because they used bullshit and got caught. They make up numbers, statistics and you have to prove they're wrong. Been there, done that, I have a drawer full of t-shirts. So to me, yes it's trivial.
Australia has had mass shootings and killings since their ban, just look it up. England is very easy to debunk with their gun control and how crime has risen so don't even go there.
Violent crime of all kinds, involving guns or not, has fallen dramatically since the late 80s, everywhere in the Western world, with only a very small uptick in the past 2 years. That includes time periods where gun bans were enacted. So your assertion that more gun control causes worse gun problems is obvious nonsense on the face of it. In England specifically, there have been fewer fatalities since their gun ban was enacted. Likewise for Japan. Nutjobs with knives do still exist, but they do far less damage.
As I said, Australia won't help you because it was already falling well before that law was passed. In fact if the law hadn't been passed it's likely we would be right where we are today. Nonsense you say? Here is another piece of very sound advice given by me on slashdot, read this - https://www.hoplofobia.info/wp... . Once you've read it, you can stop sounding like a fool. I know those stubborn facts again.
The left historically loves gun control. Hitler was for it...
And you lose. Godwin's Law.
You realize that you automatically lose if you invoke Godwin's and it is something the Nazis really did, right? Do you even know what Godwin's law is about? It's ok to mention Nazis, Hitler if it's something they really did. They really did champion gun control, implement it and it's documented. It's ok when that's the point you're making and it is. Gun confiscation, actually seizure in most cases leading towards a totalitarian government and you can't do anything about it because nobody is armed. They weren't armed. That's what you get. Godwin himself said it's ok to compare facists (the leftists that are to the right of the communists and still well to the left - alt right) to the alt right because that's what they are.
...and in America it's always historically been racist.
A leftist dog whistle argument? Really?
Wow, really wow... you're accusing me of being a leftist? I didn't expect that. Well if that is what you meant, that's a first for this Century
I have to wonder if you even know what a narcissist is. You don't seem to. Often times people call me Captain obvious because by the time I'm willing to point something out to someone, everyone knows it. Let me make this simple for you - you're not fooling anyone but yourself. I have to wonder if you even know what I'm talking about. It's been a few days after all.
I get it, you're one of those "with us or against us" types.
I have absolutely no desire to discuss this or any topic with such a personality type. Good day to you.
Man you don't know me at all. Some things you can be neutral. Some things you can be neutral at your peril. You will have to choose soon. Certain times in history are like that. If you refuse, you'll regret it. Get a pair. Stand for something. The country is at stake. The left is trying to ruin it. Spend it into bankruptcy, make it into just another country as BHO put it in his book - "Dreams From My Father". He hates America. The left hates America. They'll do anything to destroy it and are. So unless you want to lose everything you have and maybe even your life, because that is what will happen you need to do something about it. A lot of people will get killed as well. That is what happens when the left takes over. Just look at History. Then the left tries to lie about it and say the Right did it. Just like with Fascism. Here's a guy the left has just about erased from history - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . Their history.
