more or less

It's a joke. The original text pager was called 'more' (because it prompted you to press a key for more pages). A few years later, a better pager called 'less' was introduced. These are the de-factor text pages on Unix and Linux systems.

My apologies if you were trying to make your own joke, but you actually sounded like you don't know.

That's the basic idea behind companies like Red Hat (GNU/Linux) and Command Prompt (Postgresql). Are you saying that those companies are giving OSS a bad name?

The minimum wage around here nets you $1492 a month before tax

That's assuming you have a full-time job, which isn't always the case. Some people have to scratch up two or three part-time minimum wage jobs.

The US governement can't even get off their ass to build a 30ft high fence along our southern border even though they got congressional approval and have millions of people wanting it

Who wants it?

• Do the politicians really want it? Or would they rather have an imminent threat of "illegals" to whip everyone else into a frenzy with?
• Do the rich want it? Or would they prefer to hire cheap labor?
• Do businesses want it? Or would they prefer to hire cheap labor and sell to them?
• Do most citizens want it? Or do they not really care?

Really. Do these guys know something the rest of us don't?

If fell into a black hole

Rule 34, remember?

People will buy and use a Kindle anyway. Why not get a cut?

You're conflating skills training with education.

They both teach you how to get the most out of a set of tools, but formal education concentrates on the tool that is your brain -- how to think, how to organize information, how to accommodate new ideas and facts. How to use your brain.

JIT training is commonly known as on-the-job-training, and is not a new idea. But it works best when the student is already educated.

Imagine what we, as a nation, could achieve if we were well educated.

Basically, it's your paycheck given to you on a debit card.

Whoosh, you took the meaning backwards, but thanks for reaffirming two stereotypes at once!

It doesn't matter which email service(s) a foreign government uses, or where the mail is stored. What matters is where the email is routed on its way from sender to recipient. There's nothing to stop the NSA from reading the email if the messages or network packets are "accidentally" routed through the US on their way from one foreign address to another. Not even laws protecting citizens, since it's not a citizen's data.

That doesn't prove that copyright is broken, only that the licensing system doesn't work well (or fairly).

May I introduce you to the MacBook Wheel

The video was over a minute, watching two images flip back and forth every couple of seconds with cheesy music in the background.

No voice over, no explanation, no real utility to the video. Showing the two static snapshots in a super-imposable way would have been a cooler use of technology.
