I'm guessing you've never worked for long in the real world. 1. I work with feds. out of dozens, one doesn't know what he's doing. 2. Hubble was, from day 1, a NASA project. Civilian space. Basic scientific research.
or in high school On the other hand, my12th grade teacher, every Monday, had a sentence written on the board when we came in, and we had to wrote 500 words on that, or including that. That was what we did that period....
Sorry, but I have five year old servers - real servers, rackmount Dells and rebranded Supermicro, and they all have UEFI. I think I started seeing it before them, tool
UEFI is a replacement for the "beloved" BIOS, that's there in firmware, before your system boots.
It's been on *EVERY* workstation and server for years.
M$ tried to lock in Windows by making "secure boot" with UEFI... and only they had the cryptographic signing that was accepted. That didn't fly very long....
And for anyone who thinks "firmware as a service" is a good idea, instead of running away screaming, here, let me hijack your system, and install my own firmware on your system....
Not insightful. Either a right-wing troll... or else being paid in rubles.
She *won* almost three million more votes, but gerrymandering and the Electoral College gave it to the loser.
Oh, and why don't you tell us more, about how you feel about supporting a sexual predator, ignorant, illiterate, psychotic, contract-breaking, thieving money-launderer, who'll sell out his own country for money?
Yep, it's all going to change the way we look at it. And the Segway changed Life As We Know It, too. Coming soon: you won't read a book, you'll have it whispered to you, with embedded ads!
Let see, so you're saying you have no idea how the computer and software you use got to this point, and you don't care about anything before 15 min ago. You certainly don't want to know what your parents did before you walked out the door.
You're an ignorant little snot, and when you wind up in big trouble, and can't get hold of support to fix it, you'll pound the desk and go "how did this happen."
Now, I realize that some people - mostly rich, on the right, or both, think moving is a nothingburger... but the majority of folks DO NOT WANT TO MOVE. A lot of them *like* their neighborhood, and have friends and family there, and don't actually *want* to leave them behind.
The lack-of-moving-bad-for-the-economy is true only if you're the scum who think of a house as "investment property", and flip them, rather than someone who buys a *home* to live in.
And those real estate agents and house flippers, and the hedge funds that have been buying rental property (and jacking up the rents massively) in the last 9 years... I hope you all die, with all of your belongings in a shopping cart, under a bridge.
As it says on every US bill, "Good for all debts, public and private"/
I'll point out, also, that decades ago, rental car companies (back then, that would mostly be Hertz and Avis) refused to accept cash. They got better....
For that matter, sounds like a *great* location to launder money....
Now, on the other hand, the folks here who here who think they know what sf is are ignorant idiots. SF is FICTION. It's written to tell a story. One of the classic definitions of what sf is is the literature of "what if?"
SF authors are not writing to Predict The Future, they're writing to tell a good story. Can some things in those stories create enthusiasm for science and engineering? We knw they do. Can they suggest lines of thought that might lead to new ides? Of course. But confusing the literature of sf and "predictions" is for the clueless.
The majority of people who buy a house are buying a HOME, NOT and "investment property". They want to stay there, in that neighborhood, not go somewhere else.
I strongly supported candidates here in Montgomery Co, MD, that were against Amazon's locating here, and they won.
You don't care about bad traffic becoming worse, you don't care that they avoid paying taxes, you don't care that WE, the taxpayers, have to pay for what they don't, and as far as I know, the tax breaks given to huge companies *NEVER* get made up by the jobs they provide.
I wrote C for a good number of years. Within a year or two of programming in it professionally, I was using string functions that limit the length, like strncpy, and 95 times out of 100, I used for/next loops, NOT WHILE (forever) loops.
If you're not doing that, you've got a lot to learn.
For one, it was in the news a few weeks ago that the insurance premiums purchased though the ACA are going *down* this year, in spite of the GOP fighting tooth and nail to sabotage it.
For another, "keep your doctor"? Do you actually *have* medical insurance? Ever company I've worked for in the last 25 years has changed insurance companies every 2-3 years, and our "contributions" keep going up. And there are plenty of doctors who accept one insurance, and not another... and others who take pretty much any of them.
Meaning your bullshit is just that.
And exactly what has the GOP done to improve healthcare in thie US? It's 48 years since LBJ (Democrat) pushed through Medicaid and Medicare. The GOP has NEVER DONE A GODDAMNED THING. It was only the Dems, in '09, who shoved this through, and the GOP wants to repeal it... AND HAS OFFERED NOTHING WHATSOEVER to replace it with. AND they all want to removed protections from pre-existing condition exclusions.
You're posting here, therefor your not a millionaire... so you're a sucker.

1. Ignoring the political posts, I skimmed past a log o folks who I'll bet $5 don't use Linux, and never have. 2. IBM's contributed a *lot* to Linux and o/s. 3. I've said for almost 20 years that Linux was IBM's silver bullet all along: I mean, really, would *yuo* want to support system/36 (bet there's still some running), system/38, AS4000, RISC 69000, AIX, DOS/VSE/SP/whateverotherlettershavebeenadded, MVS.... or Linux?

Lessee, about 15 or so years ago, I had a Grand Voyager. One day, a window fell down. Took it to a mechanic, and he replaced the belt that raises and lowers it. $160. 8 or so years later, newer Grand Voyager, same thing: nope, the mechanic said, "we both know it's only the belt, but they've made it a sealeed unit, which includes the motro, but I have no choice now but to replace the whole thing (for twice the price).
Oh, and about needing computers... my ancient, deally beloved Toyota Tercel wagon, an '86, with a carburetor, no computer, was a) still passing emission tests and b) getting 35-36mpg in 2000.
Blame the car companies. They want you to buy a new car every two years, like back in the late fifties.

This is a joke, right? Do you have any idea what the actual pension plans pay? And how many times they don't even get COLAs?
Or are you just planning on dying early, so you won't have to w00ry about it?
You didn't even get the quote right: it's "when fascism comes to America, they'll call it Americanism".
Go fuck yourself, libertarian prick.
