That would be an interesting job.

The saying "If you outlaw encryption, only outlaws will have encryption" couldn't possibly be more appropriate.

Don't get me started about 4-way stops! In my neighborhood, the city, in its infinite non-wisdom, replaced several intersection's traffic lights with 4-way stops to save money. IMHO, it's a mess! Half the time, it's not clear who was first/next to the intersection, and more than half don't seem to realize you should yield to the vehicle on the right.

Once, I was trying to make a left turn and the guy going the other way stopped and waved me on. If I had gone, I would have been hit by the guy in the other lane.

She certainly had a terrible choice in that man, but the pizza saved her life!

The big problem with Patch Tuesday was that most exploits from the following Wednesday on wouldn't get fixed for a month. MS should get rid of that.

I don't have to buy a home PC. I've already got one. And I have no plans to get rid of it, since neither iOS nor Android is even close to replacing it.

Yeah, even if you have 5 years experience in Language Y, which is very similar to X. :-P

I'm concerned about that in my own future. No kids, and given our family histories, I have a better than even chance of outliving my GF.

I'm certainly a better tech than my boss, even though she came thrugh the tech fields and is no PHB. I'm very definitely not a better boss than she is. At best, I might BS my way through the job, hating every minute until I got fed up and quit. More likely, they'd catch onto my incompetence (in that role) and can me before I quit.

For a long time, at work, I didn't have any choice. It was fairly recent that they installed FF as a secondary browser. I still use IE for some of the internal web stuff, since some of it doesn't work with FF.

Yeah, I remember hearing that 9 months after a major power outage in some city, the population increased.

So, the people who said otherwise were lying through their teeth?

In which case, they should be fired for stupidity before getting criminally charged.

Exactly this! I like watching Jack Bauer "question" the bad guy as much as anyone, but what it comes down to is, it's not real! Nobody is really getting hurt, not even a criminal/terrorist. A real cop shouldn't do a fraction of the stuff we in the movies, and if they do, there should be heavy RL consequences.
