As the thieves stole the land of others, they used strong language common among thieves, murderers and Linux developers. ;-)

The need to maintain applications that cost millions to develop is a powerful driver for keeping languages alive. The banking industry (and others) invested HUGE amounts of money in applications based on COBOL. Those applications still do the job, every day. Occasionally they need to be enhanced or extended....and it's cheaper to do that than start from scratch with something else. The languages that will die are those that never resulted in applications that can't be easily / cheaply replaced by something else.

He's the very model of a modern major.. ....fascist.

... I realized how little value it provided for the huge amount of time it consumed. Especially the news. If I want to be fed lies by omission and half-truths I'd rather talk to my kids.

It's closed source software. You'll never really know.....

I suspect the government wanting that information is WHY it's there. The Microsoft desktop OS monopoly makes more sense now. It made spying on everyone easier.

Meanwhile....It's Fox News that's corrupt. It would be funny if it didn't kill people. Rupert Murdoch should be stripped of his media holdings and sent to prison. His mother lived to be 100+, so he could still serve a decent stretch for his many crimes against humanity committed by his lying media across decades.

I use an iPhone 4 for work. The screen is too small, so I'm happy the iPhone 6 models have bigger screens. But my main phone is a Nexus 5. I always have the latest version of Android. But overall, Android let's me access files anywhere and use them however I need to use them My Apple phone experience is ruined by the iTunes ball and chain and not being able to use my files as and when I need to.

I change my Gmail password at least every 3 months. I never use the same password twice, though I do use the same 'formula" to compose the passwords other than my Gmail account. For my primary Gmail account, I don't use the formula. So if you hack my primary Gmail account, you can't get into my backup / recovery account easily...or vice-versa. This is easy to do and you don't need a powerful memory. Just a meta-memory.

We use VPNs to stop people stealing our intellectual property.

Don't think he missed it. The previous comment probably just provoked a related tangent.

China can descend into violence on a large scale and quickly. History makes that clear. That huge army is probably required for disaster relief and suppressing local insurrections.

He also wrote "kill" using the "gun". Tell the whole story. America's gun terror is a consequence of its idiotic gun laws.... Or lack of them.

I hear the sark... But It's worth pointing out that "ObamaCare" was the only formulation of reform that the GOP cross over members of Congress would support. I got critics of this reform keep in view that it COULD have been much better had the Republicans not crippled it. But they blame Obama for it. They have no shame because they have no integrity.

By "trade union" you mean the American Medical Association or the local bar association for layers or a Chance of Commerce? Or do you just like bashing workers?
