So, for speaking one's mind, someone should "get what they deserve."
I don't know where you come from, but FUCK that place.

No... it means that the people running the equipment produced by AMD, Apple, Cisco, Dell, Google, HP, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, Sun are from the same country as you.
I guess it depends on where you are from, where I hail from nut up and ball(s) up are synonymous.
What kind of fools would trust their internal government communications to a foreign company in the first place?
He already incriminated himself when he told the cops that there was evidence on the encrypted drives.
Hitler and Mussolini were fascists... certainly not left wing.
It depends. Having a security clearance helps insulate one from this. Having left such work for pure commercial work I definitely see it, whereas I never saw it in the government space.
Still on top of the coding game at my age. I went into management for about 5 years but that wasn't for me. I was good at it but I found it tedious and I find meetings to be insufferable.
Will probably get out soon, have some other things I may want to pursue.
It hasn't been easy: constantly learning new technology is becoming a PITA. The same old arguments with the youngsters: no - style doesn't matter as long as it is consistent, yes - this is the way we do it (was not even my second choice of style btw), no - we will not revamp the entire code base because you like tabs, thanks for an hour of useless back and forth.
Also staying late at the end of sprints annoys the hell out of me... mainly because these late sprint spikes are rarely the result of my work (in fact, this has only happened once that I can recall and I told the rest of the team to go home while I fixed my own mess). So yeah, I am leaving now - to go see my kids not that it is any of your business as I don't question you when you show up late with a hangover... no, I am not going to stay late to fix your work yet again.
But all of this is moot: the real issue is that I am not doing a better job than many devs with ~15 years of experience. But I probably make more money (not always tho! Some of these late 30's dev are making BANK). Being completely logical about the issue I would definitely get rid the higher pay guy first. It is that simple.
What you say is true. I have left work either on time or sometimes early to take care of my kids.
But my younger colleagues often times show up late (or not at all) with hangovers, my piss will test 100% clean and many of theirs will not, and I spend my time at wok actually working as opposed to a lot of socializing and what not.
So choose your poison.
Nothing is stopping you.
Apache 2.0 please.
Proven technology - not necessarily superior.
that said military thinking prized proven above all else... so your point is valid until proven otherwise.
In case you are not up on not so current events, the last attack on the US was executed by a few guys with box cutters and multitools.
Sadly, I think humans will be the side blowing peace loving civilizations to shit.
You have no basis at all for your assertion that the hypothesis is unlikely.
Here's your explanation:
1) We don't know shit about the universe, physics, or exobiology
2) We have not been listening very long
Give it time - lot's of time.
