As I recall the Green party was never out to win it all. The push had been to get 5% of the vote to get the federal money and inclusion in debates.

Wow, I really was about to forget the orange I bought to take with me for a snack today. Thanks.

He was pretty entertaining playing D&D at PAX some years ago. I like him a bit because of that.

I'd wager on the middle-east becoming the new China. They have cheap labor, and very little environment to ruin.

They would need a lot of external resources, however.

There are so many examples of people in IT who are self taught I don't even know where to begin with your statement.

Many companies are willing to talk even with no degree and zero experience if you have a rare skill-set they are looking for and approach them at a hiring booth or trade show to explain your situation (not the HR filter people). Consider that for some skills (security- pentesting, RE) the degrees are practically worthless as the curriculum doesn't even come close.

However, specifically, this guy who just wants to install windows and set up a few services doesn't sound like he has a unique skill-set to leverage.

I dunno, would descendants who are 100% dependent on an advanced technological society to survive live in an advanced technological society which is significantly more likely to persist than one who's occupants are not genetically adapted?

Neither. It's the super-paywall version where every tile you want to build takes 24 hours unless you pay them $2 PER TILE.

I wonder how many of the comments saying this bill is just to provide loopholes for industry wouldn't be here if there was a D before the state the congress-critter was from.

Did you notice that there is a new javascript link saying they changed their plans on rolling out the beta? Or what are you fighting against now?

Where you adjust the viewing threshold for shortened comments or for full comments?

So it's kinda like trying to navigate the new slashdot discussion system (leaves line of sight)
