Yes I did. I also read the 14th Amendment Clearly you did not
Clearly I did. Grow up a little. If you read the Constitution you know that we are a Republic. With me so far? You seem to be (which is a wonder). Ok, the 14 Amendment has 5 sections. Since you didn't specify which section, I'll presume you meant section 2. Feel free to correct me because I don't want to stuff words into your mouth, though it will be entertaining if you chose one of the other sections. Section 2 (google 14 Amendment, all the sites have the same words):
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.
Please explain because all of us that have bothered to read it, including very seasoned scholars as well as the people that wrote and passed this section missed it. Where does it say popular vote and not representatives, especially since it starts with the word - representatives? You didn't read it. Admit it. Representatives are apportioned based on the decennial Census. None of that stuff is even in dispute. Just BS the left tells you to believe.
Besides, it really doesn't matter. If the measure that counted was the popular vote Trump would have focused on that instead and still would have kicked her butt because she's a two time loser. She may try for 3 times, if she lives that long. She really belongs in a nursing home. When she came out of the woods recently she still uses the scooby van and had to be helped almost up to the stage.
I saw debian as adding to that problem. I remember the SYSV vs BSD days. So much wasted energy. Then we had a real nice compromise - RedHat and then Fedora. Instead we have yet another branch. In fact for a while there was a joke - "Bob's Linux". Some guy named Bob and his distro. I haven't looked in probably over a decade, however for a while I bet there was well over 2 dozen different distros. As I said with SYSV vs BSD - don't care which one you chose, however chose one of them and let's move on. Same thing here. I think we should all chose one and let's go. No matter which one we chose it'll piss people off because they've spent a lot of time on the other technology. I've had a few years of my life thrown away due to a decision to move to something else. By people that weren't even in the same continent as I am, never mind knowing them. Sucks I know, get over it. At least in my case I got paid.
Imagine if we all combined our efforts. Other side of it is - imagine if we combine all the assholes together. Second thought, maybe we're better off separate.
Really? This is like breaking out the tricycle and baby blocks. Technology that really was from the 1970s, improved a bit in the 1980s and was way out of date in the 1990s.
Not a bad punishment if you do something bad, like rob a bank or something. Your sentence is you have to run this BBS for a year. (defendant) NOOOOOO, anything but that!
Actually launched last year before the election. Crazy bullshit run amok. With any luck they'll request that the lawsuit be dismissed with prejudice meaning it cannot be refilled.
After the election in 2016, and the following riots from anyone who disagreed with the election in 2016, do YOU want the average tax payer to be in charge of what top-tier researchers are actually researching?
That's actually a really solid point. I felt a little embarrassed for the example our country set when electing Trump, but I felt even more embarrassed at the example our country set when masses of people...well...let's just put it like it is: protested democracy.
You still don't get it. Let me paint a picture for you. 50+ years ago we had masked people, kids, even little kids running around in white outfits with a KKKK sign on them. We know they were democrats. Look them up, Governor Wallace, Senator Byrd, who Hillary even kissed.. and so on. All racists, bigots, fascist, communists, socialist... Leftists. All they did was change from a white outfit to a black one. Same racists, same leftists, same people trying to destroy America. The left loves to take what they call useful idiots to do their work. They did it with the white outfit, they did it with the black outfits. A lot if not all of them were paid as well.
Trump wasn't my favorite either. However he is what we have because the left made him the candidate so Hillary was a sure bet, and she couldn't even beat him. Too many women, hispanics, everyone saw through her and her bullshit. Look at her logo, the twin towers with a plane flying through them.
Trump is turning out to be a good one, looks like he's rebooting. He has a lot to learn though I don't think he'll ever be a real politician. They say he's a liar, though he's nothing like main stream media and the other politicians. The last POTUS would lie and it was so second nature it was really hard to tell. Let's hope we have a world left in 4 years. Don't let that bother you. I used to think that back in the 1970s, 1980s as well. Especially 1985.
Totally different. If you looked at the "refugees" flooding into Europe, they looked like an invasion force more than real refugees. Mohammadists, they've been trying to kill us for 1400 years. They rape, kill people and the PC bullshit is stopping everyone from calling a spade a spade. They do this at their own peril. Europe will cease to exist if they don't get rid of the invaders. They don't assimilate, they demand that you adopt their way of life or they'll kill you. Sharia law. The sooner everyone understand this the better. It's not racism BTW, that's bullshit too. This is an idiology, not a race.
No you didn't. Otherwise you'd know about the electoral college and wouldn't be making such a foolish statement. Go back to 8th grade civics. You obviously were asleep at the time.
Clinton received more votes than Trump. About 3 million or so. The obvious, relevant point I was making.
Which is also wrong. Notice that Jill Stein started a recount, Trump gained a lot of votes. That stopped them cold because the truth was about to come out. If they did a national recount I'm sure Hillary lost by at least a million, probably many million as people are not as stupid as she thinks. Certainly the women that she bashed recently and maligned. She knows she lost big time too. I think you know it too. I want to remind you about the election. How many Obama signs were out there both elections? How many McCain and Romney? What were the results?
Now about this election. I didn't even know what a Hillary sign looked like (and I drive though many states, counties) because I couldn't even find one. If I were to offer you a million bucks the last week of the campaign to photograph 100 Hillary signs in 3 hours, I bet you'd lose. On actual lawns put there by the people living there. Almost nobody was even attending her campaign stops. No problem with Trump signs. You'd be back in 10 minutes. I came across one guy that I bet had 100 on just his property. Not until the last week of the election and then I was surprised to find the logo was the twin towers with a plane going through them. Can't make this up. I mean, WTF? Really? Trump signs were plastered everywhere. Republican areas, Democrat strong holds, didn't matter. So by campaign sign alone, he clobbered her. Wasn't even close.
The aftermath has been very revealing as well. 50 years ago we had racist and bigots that were all verified Democrats walking around in white outfits with a cone top. The KKKK (Why the 4th K? It's Knights of the Klu Klux Klan and that fits into their little symbol if you look at it. There are four Ks in it). Nothing has changed. We have people running around in now black outfits, hidden faces again this time without the funny hat. Same racists, same fascists (those that still believe in God, otherwise same communists), same democrats terrorizing the country. Just like in the past we had kids that didn't even know better wearing the KKKK outfits, I have a feeling the kids today are useful idiots as well.
Tech workers have been saying the best talent is self trained for decades. No university can teach someone how to be a passionate nerd. As for their motives.... I think it's much simpler. People with degrees want more money, so they can pay off the loans.
Sounds like someone that doesn't have a degree. I have one and I graduated debt free. I worked my way through college, every dime. I want more money because I made it through those four years. I took the hard courses, I know what I'm doing.
Those without the four year degree are often what I call google programmers. That's how they program and do everything, google it. No database theory, experience, design... and so on and so on and so on all the way down to the OS. None of that. Yet they want to make big bucks. They also want to give those of us that know a bunch of back talk. As if they know anything.
Same thing with the security area. Bunch of people, I had one with just a poultry Technical Writer degree from a state university and had helped on a security detail. Next thing she has is she's a Senior Information Assurance Professional. No shit. No certs, no paid experience other than documentation. Wanted to make, and for a short time until she was discovered made big bucks. Once discovered of course the BS started. Because she's black, because she's a woman... and so on. She was eventually fired.
There are some good guys out there that are self taught. I think all of them that I've met I can count on one hand. Even so, they are simply missing volumes of information that they don't even know about. There's a reason for a good University education. It's worth it.
This is so stupid. Does anyone really think this even matters? The vast majority of people use cookies, other tech so they know who we all are, our credit cards, etc. Google/bing/duck duck go, etc... all keep track of the searches. How you search, what you search. What you buy.
As Scott McNealy said years ago - you have no privacy. Get over it.
The firewall is keeping my program from running. I'll add security later. The security routine is stopping it from working. Let's disable SELinux, then it'll work. I'll just su to root to delete these files. I'm not really in/dev.
Others: I don't need to test this code. VI is a good editor. Ruby is a great language. Java is a great language. I don't need to worry about freeing memory. Modern systems have more memory than we'll ever use. (java actually does this last I knew). I don't need to worry about metadata.
My favorite - "Things will naturally just work out."
Really? Why do we care what this guy thinks? He's already on record saying that we're all stupid. Multiple times. Yes, he's talking about you and me. Everyone but himself.
So you're saying we can look forward to a feudal system in the next 20 years. You know, where women, minorities have no say at all. Most are in... basic slavery. Yes, that's what we need, because from history that's what happens when you take down a free society like the US is right how.
No, the healthcare bill will come around again. The first one should have been defeated because it was simply ACA - light. It was still unsustainable. Just as the original one will be bankrupt soon and they admitted it from the beginning. It was only budget neutral for 10 years. They were off their mark on that too.
No, that's the art of the deal. He punched them in the nose. They got nothing. Now they're bloody. They won't do that again if they're smart.
Wheelbarrio, you seem to not be aware of the situation. We had to pass this ACA to find out what was in it (as Nancy Peleosi famously said) because it stood no chance of passing if people knew what was in it. In fact the whole driver behind it called us all stupid (and yes, even you as an Aussie - you're stupid too according to him) - http://thehill.com/policy/heal... , Hear the man himself - https://www.youtube.com/watch?... . "budget neutral" for 10 years, well here we are. Now it's broken and in flames. Bankrupt.
Here's the problem. In 2008 just before BHO took office we had a big bailout under GW Bush. That was in fact the last budget passed, I believe even to this day. We're on a continuing resolution meaning we stay with that same budget that has big money coming out of it year after year. The press is silent on all of this of course, or clueless. This is why we went from 7T debt under Bush to 21T under Obama. Where did all of this money go to? You can bet his friends. Friends that spent like no tomorrow to make sure Hillary was elected, and failed. Now they're really upset that they lost *TRILLIONS*. For sure, under the old course the US would be bankrupt in less than 2 years. We'd be nothing. No Navy, No nothing really. We'd be killing each other a lot I bet. Disease, starvation, millions would die. As it is, this can still happen unless he can stop the money burn. No way? Think Greece, only a LOT worse. I mean, a LOT LOT worse. The more of a hole you dig for yourself, eventually you'll have to get out of it and we have a really big hole.
Don't think you're safe down there. If the US falls, watch out. Everyone else in the world is at risk. In fact, you could probably kiss your butt goodbye. With the guns they took out of the country, Australia could be conquered easily. Japanese from WWII in this situation, you'd fall quickly. Europe will likely fall to the invading Mohammadhists that invaded Europe recently. Fleeing refugees? I saw mostly young men, mostly MILITARY type men. Very few women and children. They're ready and waiting to take over Europe.
Think I'm wrong? Think about it some, look at some videos of Europe. Check things out. Break into a cold sweat.
What if a male employee/contributor were into being dominated by women? Would that be OK?
You mean like in normal life? Sure seems that way sometimes. Can't criticize them, can't look at them, can't tell them anything for fear they'll get all pissed off because you think they aren't smart or something.
Seen it over and over again. Even the perception that you *MIGHT* be criticizing their code can draw out hell's fury.
Doesn't help that they sometimes write crappy code. They should be able to take criticism like anyone else.
