The leftists I know realize that coal is used in things other than electricity generation, and that it will take a long time to get rid of it.
Really? I feel like this is a test to see how gullible I am. They really do exist along with Santa and the M&Ms character candies? I bet I could ask 100 leftists at a convention and not find one that would know there is some other use for coal.
I didn't mean to indict the left that much, people on the right often think that's the only use as well. I happen to know about steel. However the right doesn't seem to just go psycho on things like the left does. They even go after each other, for example the women's march. It was funny, the black women saying the white women don't count. They have no idea what it's like. Also it wasn't for all women, for example those that are against abortion. Now it's just getting silly with that woman that's claiming she's trans-race. What next, we get to pick our own relatives? I joke... watch that'll be the next bit of insanity. At some point we all need to admit there's a mental problem. I think we're way past that point.
You're so right. I would have thought a guy like Hawking would understand what he's saying. We might make 1000 years if that's a deadline to get expand out of here. I don't think we'd make 100. Too much to invent and debug before then. Like about as much as mankind has done to this point and possibly more. We can't even seem to solve social problems. I understand some people have an interest in social problems not being solved and do what they can to make them worse. They get useful idiots to help them. Their terminology, not mine.
The left is so busy trying to hate that they won't even think about listening. Coal is used in Steel production - http://dailycaller.com/2017/04... . A lot of MSM outlets didn't even bother to look at what it was for, they just slammed it like the ignorant bunch they are.
Remote work. IBM was big into it, some others as well. Unfortunately people have been caught not doing their jobs. I've read stories where a software guy contracted his work out to a dude in India. Others just blow off work because they can.
Great, except you mentioned the N word. Nuclear. Whacko environmentalists still think that's a bad thing. Greenpeace is driving most of it. Even though one of the founders wrote an op piece in the WashPo back in 2006 - http://www.washingtonpost.com/...
Then the fukishima plant.. which was a basic engineering failure by the Japanese. They should have hired a US firm to build it, they wouldn't have put it in an earthquake zone, that gets Tsunamis, and put the generators in the basement. Thought the Japanese were supposed to be smart. Now they have places like Germany, others trying to eliminate them.
To me it's terrifying. He's liable to do it. No doubt, some stuff is ancient, though I think the 39 year old network is not true. It's true some agencies have had networks that long ago, and longer actually. However 40 years ago we're in 1978. I can't imagine some agency still has that old crap around, or that it would even work. I remember Agriculture held onto their old X.25 crap until they couldn't get parts for the routers. I think that was about two decades ago.
We go through this every so often. Put other agencies in a datacenter. Then the crap begins. Physical barriers and such. Lots of paperwork. By the time it's done, we could be a decade or more after Trump. HSPD-12 was a George Bush mandate for example and we're just getting around to doing that at most agencies. That's been more than a decade and that's simple side of this. In fact I don't think any civilian agency requires the use of the HSPD-12 for regular user access. Most don't require it for admin access.
Also big push to go out into the cloud in the Federal space. Military I think was told to do it by the last guy. So far it's been a big boondoggle. They haven't realized that cloud just means someone else's computer. They also pay a lot more for it than if they ran it.
Things are becoming junk. Buy anything lately? Doesn't seem to matter from which company. Stuff isn't made to last anymore. It's not lasting because they are making them electronic. Dishwasher for example. I own a bunch of rentals. A 1990s era dishwasher I would get about 20 years out of. I have a rental where we replaced a 1960s era dishwasher with a 2010 version. Had to service it twice, then replace it in 2015 because it was SHOT. Wires melted inside and such. Same with the range/oven. That was replaced about the same time. Also had electronic shit in it. I have one house that has a range that was installed in 1964, still going strong. It's a GE. Finding GE ovens from the 1960s in 1960s era houses still running is very common. 50 years people.
Another house I had a brand new dishwasher installed and it's been running for a whole month. Probably 4 or 5 times and the heating for drying the dishes is already not working. I also don't put crap in. I put stuff that I think I won't have to worry about for a couple of decades I hope.
So we need to push back and get rid of all of this new fangled electronic stuff. It's crap. Go back to the good old tried and true mechanics and relays and such. We don't need our stuff on the internet. Everyone knows the Internet is for porn after all.
So what's wrong with WSJ? I've read them for years and made a lot of money based on their articles. They're factual, accurate and reliable. On the other hand, Wash Post, NY Times, it's wonder news. If it's right, it's a wonder (aka fake news). Right up there with a broken clock is correct twice a day. Used to have a WashPo delivered to my house. Stopped that probably 20 years ago. When there were being busted for publishing knowingly bullshit articles. The person that was a composite story... and so on.
That's a good test. I wonder which has more factual stories, the National Enquirer or Time mag, Rolling Stone, WashPo, NY Times. Rolling Stone just had a big old settlement over their bullshit story about gang rape at a virginia campus. Those guys will probably still suffer from that even though NOTHING happened. Time and their bullshit piece on Trump just moments into his term and the MLK bust. They couldn't wait to publish something negative about him. They say - we're journalist. When we found out what we published was bullshit (Which in my opinion he knew the whole time and lied about it) we retracted it. Yea, after just about everyone had read it and will never read a retraction.
So no, use more WSJ articles. You need a better source of news, clearly. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if your IQ increases, your pay goes up, other good things happen. Even your dog will probably like you.
For now. Expect the bottom to drop out of it as people realize the "cloud" is just someone else's computer that they're paying big time for. Way more than if they ran it. Meg Whitman of HP spoke about this recently and how people are beginning to wake up.
If it were anyone else I think you'd have a point. One thing Steve Jobs is he's probably the best marketeer of all time. Some people might think Gates, P.T. Barnum, maybe even Barak Obama. No, it's Jobs. He has a way to see something, realize the potential, create it, build into production, market it to the point people would fight to get it and then sell it. Remember we all used to joke that Apple could release a new product - the POS and people would be pre-ordering it. Anything they did they wanted to pre-order, stand in line... etc. Does anyone stand in line for Microsoft products? I haven't heard of anyone. Anything else other than maybe a concert ticket? Yea, probably for sure, however not to Job's extent.
So that's why I'm pointing out that he probably had that all planned from the beginning. Blackberry didn't stand a chance. Palm just let it go, that was very disappointing. I still have a Palm zire in my electronic trash pile to be disposed of. Probably more than one.
It's better. Still a quarky setup.. like asking about where to put grub when it knows damn well where. As if it even gives us a choice. Side from the installation that IMHO is overdue to be updated, it seems to be a bit better. I see no reason to switch to it from Fedora 25 with KDE, however. Probably just my preference.
It wasn't as if it was really on for 30 years. Microsoft didn't own networking until at least the mid 1990s, I'd argue well into the 2000s. So I'd say 10-15 years. Novell and Unix ran it before. Novel Dominated windows networking well into the 1990s. I wouldn't be surprised if Novel isn't still running some government agencies. I remember Microsoft couldn't give their networking away. Then they called it "NT", had a big fan fair and such.. and stupid managers bought it. Says NEW... New Technology! No, it was the same old crap. Unfortunately they got away with it and greasing a lot of palms with green stuff and they managed to penetrate the market.
Only if you're still running a 32 bit machine. They changed the time var to 64 bit like 20 years ago when we started to see 64 bit machines. I've been checking for years. Occasionally I see 4 bytes. I think just bsd machines. Everyone else is using 8 bytes or 64 bits.
So sorry, no problem as usual. Unix/Linux already handled it and nobody even noticed.
No it can't. That's the whole point of https, the vendor has a certificate for that site. It's checked. There is a whole PKI that utilizes trusted certificates to prevent that. Used to say - In God we trust. Everyone else get a X509 Certificate.
On the other hand, if you go to bestbuy.com and it presents you with a warning saying this certificate doesn't match the site or is a self signed cert and you accept it anyway, well now you have a possible MITM attack situation.
When it comes to hacking, you don't have to be better. You don't even have to be good. You can suck and still cause a lot of trouble. We've seen it time and time again. Years ago there was ransomware, where they weren't good enough to send themselves the key to decrypt the machine. Some left the key on the machine. Sometimes nothing was actually done, just send them money. How many of those lame "We're from Microsoft or Apple and we detected a problem with your machine" calls. Still works because they still do it.
In the DNC's case it didn't even take that. Podesta's password was password it was reported. Can't fix stupid.
Can we just charge her with violations of the espionage act just like anyone else would be and have a regular trial? Otherwise we'll be hearing about this crap forever. Just like anyone else, if she's guilty put her in jail. If not, then STFU. Just like anyone else.
The real story here is Obama used a "back channel" to talk to Russia and asked them to knock it off. So not even Obama trusted his own people. Even so, he knew about it and still failed to protect us, and he was in charge. Not Trump. So why blame trump? That should be what we are upset about. Not this bullshit narrative that Trump somehow colluded with them. We know he didn't. They knew it then and pushed that BS on us anyway.
Been there. Know all about that pain. The hell of it is if they actually did what ITIL says it would be fine. Where I am we had a guy that was supposed to be an ITIL grand wizard. Only a handful of people have his cert. level. At the time I wasn't certified, so I picked up an ITIL book. Studied the first chapter. He was doing the wrong stuff already. I passed the test. Then I confronted him. Turns out he wasn't even certified. I got him fired.
I bet your mrs wonderful isn't even certified either. If she is, she's not following what they're saying. Their advice works if you're in IT, running a Pizza joint or a daycare center.
Yea.. Dear Company, you had a really sucky product and we're opening a museum of failure, could you help us with one of your failures? They expected them to respond? Really?
Thank you Mr. Pedantic. Not tell that to the folks at Merriam-Webster:
You should be upset about this too. As he said, it's an invented term to scare people for a political purpose. Fits right in with "save the children" bullshit. It's bullshit because you can say that about almost anything. Let's get rid of cars, if it saves just one child how can you say it isn't worth it. We shouldn't let the left redefine things. We used to joke rifles, cars, eventually they'll get around to redefining marriage, then they did that too. Something that has been defined for thousands of years across the entire world and it was just a very small percentage of the people wanting to do it. Next thing you know, we're an idiot society because nobody will know what anything means anymore. Then there are other made up words, like islamophobia. There is no such thing. We also have idiots that don't even know the difference between a race and an idiology. Such as calling someone racist because they fear being killed by radical islamists. They were not born that way, it's taught and it was taught by a guy named Mohommad. Lived long ago and he taught hate, killing, etc. This is no different than Tim McVeigh wanting to kill people and if you say you're against that, you're racist? That's the Bullshit the left is selling right now because they want to destroy western civilization. Getting rid of guns is part of that.
Webster simply reports on how words are being used.
Do you happen to have a microsoft phone? If you do, it'll come back. Just like their software that you intentionally remove, update it and it's back because they know you really wanted it.
This really sucks. I have a cisco phone that pulls this BS. No ring, yet while watching it I suddenly have a message.

Why post as AC? Get an ID man. Better yet, run for office. You have way more sense than most of Congress.

Sure, beating him in chess could be considered brute force. How does he explain Jeopardy? I don't think we can classify that as brute force.
Could be an exciting time for mankind. Could also be a harbinger of evil. If we let them control too much.
