Just remember how much money Gates spent on a self declared failed education project....

They might be damn good at making money, but they are not as good or dont even care wellbeing for the majority... After all they are represent the best of what is making the world be as it is, socially speaking.

If reader goes away I will spend 30-60 minutes a day using a different app for RSS news reading, so I hope I find en equivalent app or my life will be changed a little bit.

At least with a lot of immigrants from .mx, they may have been living worst that the 8-10 rented house, but they would not work around here! No wonder the could not achieve enough food, but for some reason migrating changes their mind and sudenly they can work, and hard... That is kind of weird for most of those who wouldn't go to USA easily.

Most of the time theoretical work is about making a pretty deep simplyfication of the actual problem... Even quantum chemistry does that...

In other words, sorry for the bad joke!

you clearly have never performed theoretical science

or darkly, not one of them indeed

Database was your bottleneck for sure, still, if C or C++ was slower those programmers were really lousy at the job

I am a big fan of Perl, have used it for a lot of years, and find it useful most of the time, but if you have tried to install any complex app made in Perl you have noticed is damn hard, with the hell of dependencies, and specific library version requierements it can become impossible to install some really interesting tools (diaspora for one).

Pretty much the same with small scripts, as soon as you start working on improvements by reusing libraries you find subtle undocumented API changes, and find yourself reading the source code to understand the phylosophy behind the implementation ending up in more wasted time that actually writing your own library.

Perl rocks, but is not by far the most elegant language available right now.

If they knew who was not a target victim in the first place, why send them emails too? Sounds silly to me

I have not smoked pot or did any drug aside from alcohol or tobacco years ago, I have not got drunk since a decade ago, and I do have a pretty decent IT career, most as the one you comment, so....

We can do a study that probes no correlation between usage or not of pot for IT success :D

I said most, and if you do not, you gotta be in complete disagreement with your gov about the issues I mentioned, is that right?

Just let me tell you that I am mexican, and we do mostly just like you, there are good moral people around here, but you dont see them getting into politics, or at least not in high positions, and A LOT of regular people would take advantage of any priviledged position if they could do so.

With all due respect, most of US gov is filled with double moral and you can say the same for most US living people.

Think about copyright laws, drug fighting, taxation for big corp, and so on.

Work from home.

Also, being able to SHH ovr VPN is enough for me, and would not technically be a blocked SSH service.

You can do just the same with VPN or plan SSH anyway.

Aside from high security environments, if you cant trust your admins to freely use ssh, you have a big problem.

Bye bye external workes or ever work from home.... I have worked in small and big companies, none of them blocked me ssh access in any substantial way.

Lol, so,you have SSH access blocked in order to avoid tunnels?

Nice IT dept.
