Comment Re: 'No Evidence' says Xi (Score 1) 469

Here is one of the Chinese scientists claiming it did come from the Wuhan facility. Knowing how dirty the Democrats are, I would not doubt they conspired with the Chinese to release this so Trump would not be re-elected. I sure wish some hackers would track down the truth and release it. https://www.ndtv.com/world-new...

Comment Pure Insanity (Score 1) 302

Using ANY Windows platform for a military application is the stupidest thing I have ever seen (yes, I've done it, but it was not tied to the world). I cannot see any reason why Linux is not the default OS for all military applications. You can make it as small as you need, or as powerful as you need. All with relative security.

Comment Dissapointment (Score 0) 208

I personally find the release of the iphone 6 and 6 Plus a great disappointment. Other than a larger screen, they really did not do much at all worth mentioning. I still have not seen a review of the PHONE functions. I've always felt the iphone series a piss poor telephone device. Even a Moto Razr was a better telephone.

Where I live near Dallas, Texas, throttling would have little effect since their service is so darn slow anyway. It's the most inconsistent service I've ever had. Just try and SSH into something from the airport in Miami. You can't keep a connection long enough to log in. It at least worked in Puerto Rico.

While I greatly revere the experience and knowledge base of my senior engineers, it is also important to realize as you get older that there are only so many High Paid Engineering positions for very senior engineers. 75% of those over 50 need to be looking for a position in management, or somewhere else to make their money. Most companies don't have the margins to keep you on.

Having been in the Aerospace, Hardware, and Software business for 30 years, I can tell you for an absolute fact that hiring a professional that has keep their skills up and has the knowledge base of a few decades is well worth the money. I could give you many examples of serious project damage done through in-experience. If you are in a business that has history, the long term knowledge of these employees is also invaluable. Happy Trails
