They are becoming the 2015 equivalent of "Frist Post, or "Welcome from the Golden Girls".
This seems more like basic-level stuff... learning from your mistakes. That strikes me as the sort of thing that would be "hardwired" in everything from nematodes to primates. Why is this news?
Because you haven't learned what is news yet. But by trial and error, you'll catch on
Funny that you trotted out race, can you explain where that applies?
Because you trotted out a nasty stereotype. Old people are technically stupid - politions are technically stupid. It's prejudice alongside Black people are (fill in the racist stereotype) and on and on. Seriously are you trying to tell me that you did not understand the comment? Wow.
So much like the other person who replied to me, you also missed the point. Tell me something, how much understanding do you think a politician is going to have about technology that you're specialized in, but they're not.
Again with the stereotypes. You're going to have to provide the cites that prove all politicians are technical maladroit, before I try to andswer that question, because I would have to believe your prejudice.
Or are you going to say that they're as adept as you because of their age.
NO, I'm trying to say that you come into this with some soert of pre-judgement of people Politicians are stupid, old people are stupid - They ain't stupid as a group, Skippy! If you have to go all Archie Bunker on us, you're simply proving my point. There are stupid politicians, but overall, they probably represent society as a whole on intelligence and competency, and technical literacy. Just like us olde fartes.
Now you're suddenly realized where your reply is wrong, why my original point is right in the context of the original reply in question don't you.
Only thing I've realized is I'm dealing with an internet Kook.
Sorry if this guy in his mid-30's can figure this stuff out but you can't. My grandfather would have said it's "getting old, and forgetting that when you specialize, everyone else doesn't run along beside you."
Only I don't have incorrect deep seated prejudices, and troubles with logic. Your mid thirties age merely shows that anyone of any age can be pretty stupid.
Congratulations, you made it.
Now propose that to someone who's in their 60's or 70's. Now think about computers, encryption, and so on and remember that many of the folks in politics are between 40 and 75.
Wow. Just wow. Any of your brilliant insights we can get about dark skinned people or women or Hispanics or hey maybe even the Irish or polish people?
Your statements about computers and encryption - used as some sort of proof against us olde fartes and our inabilities - is simply ridiculous.
That you would include it, merely seems to illustrate the limits of your abilities.
Hell, I'm one of those olde fartes you denigrate - hey - I've been doing computers since the 70's, we're talking ancient IBM mainframes and punch card programming, hows that for old? but since retirement I've taken up learning some different programming languages, emergency communications software development, Surface Mount technology electronics design and building, and moving into software defined radio development, both hardware and software.
But thanks for the LuLz. This 60 year old troglodyte would laugh - but maybe me false teef would fall out, or I'd pee myself. Depends are expensive you know.
Such an intelligent response.
What do you expect from the tech savvy younger crowd. At least he got it spelled correctly, so he must be smarter than average. Just be careful - they get a little testy when they figure out all that self esteem inculcation wasn't actually real.
And yet they can't seem to comprehend the internets and need their 5yr old grandchild to show them how to use an ipad.
And yet, millenials seem to think that the internetzs and ipads are "High Tech".
Once you strip away the veneer of Facebook, Twitter, and knowing the mechanics of hooking up a wireless router, it turns out most of the "technologically savvy" millennials don't know much more than the Grandma of the endless memes.
I had this problem at work with them - The toughest part of dealing with the millennials was getting them to accept that I knew much more than they did, and they didn't know as much as they thought they did in the first place
Probably because of the pop up that says all your information will be wiped?
All you have to do is believe it.
Best secure wipe is 25 pounds of thermite. It does void the warranty however.
> They seem to be having problems getting astronauts to man the thing.
Indeed. They would need toilets, and Indian technology hasn't got that far.
Maybe they plan on using their "untouchables" as astronaut fodder.
Bad news: formatting your hard drive or reinstalling your OS (any consumer OS) doesn't, by default, actually erase your data either.
Why are we surprised?
But we do have options. The fact that people are willing to store so much personal data on their smartphones is just showing us how dumb they are. Why would they not think a factory reset wouldn't wipe their data. If the thought even crossed their mind.
If they even thought to do a factory reset in the first place.
And this incrypton thing, sounds like a lot of work - Swamp people is on, and I can't miss that! Many of us are doing well to get our shoes tied in the morning.
Affects Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread. Does anyone even use Gingerbread anymore?
Yes.
This is why you should rely on the more secure iOS operating system.
I tried this, but it wouldn't run my Android apps.
You say that like it is a bad thing.
The last time I tried criticizing the US government, I got called a racist and told to shut up. Has anything changed since then? If not, then what gives you the idea that you're qualified to complain?
Sensitive little racist aren't we? Now shut up.
So a solid belief in reincarnation is now one of the job requirements.
You're soaking your fingers in it.
Something tells me you don't get the reference.
They confirmed you're a cuckolded sissy.
Only thing worse than being witty is not being witty.
Never trust a computer you can't repair yourself.
