I am more worried about people not patching what can be patched.

We should stop having scholarships for athletics. It should only be for academic achievement. That way the motivation to do good in school will be higher.

Unlikely. The human race is a mix bag. There is no data on how many humans are Homo-Sapiens or Homo-Quantum.

How much of the US work force is US citizen? Of that US citizen component in US, how much is African-American? I suspect that there are more Africans (with VISA, etc.) than African-Americans (US born). Technology is all about disruption of society. Overseas is cheap underpaid workforce where there are no labor laws (if any) that are followed (unlikely). Let's get some numbers! If companies catered to students like NFL/MLB/NBA did for college+high scholl atheletes, we would have more talented and qualified US work force. But then again, it is cheaper to import and underpay with visa over employee head. Should they complain, you can send them back at their own expense (yes it happens).

You got that right. There is a link on upper right to watch an intro video by Linus. Teacher is listed below. You can watch the intro video and save some money.

Why do people spend a lot of money on a smart TV, when they will stop software updates after 3-5 years? Then,, you are left with zero-day exploits in firmware. If you are not connected to the internet, you have no need to worry, but why would you buy a smart TV and have no internet access?

Best way to do a full recon before exploit. If end user does not have it installed, please do so. Next step is to get copy of Address Book for proper spear phishing

Have steel-hardened doors, etc. If it looks like difficult access, they will go to neighbor. Just don't leave door open, garage-door open, etc. Build a safe room. Work from home, don't go on vacation, and only have food delivered. Screen all food with a paid food tester. I just make sure I have crappier stuff than neighbors.

I like old machines. People are so quick to throw away the past. Half the fun of using old machines is keeping them working. For me, it is a hobby.

When waiting for a compile, we had to make proper flowcharts for operations manual, maintenance manual, and also the prammers manual, the latter having the source code. When there was a change to any program, all needed to be updated and approved before the change was put into place. Although a compile a day seemed leisurely, there was more time for code review and complaince. I think biggest issue is the lack of code review needed. Now, people are more interested in their train of thought to correct errors from compiler that they do not slow down and think about what they are coding. Code reason why there are so many bugs and security holes. People need to slow down and do all the other required steps to ensure quality code.

The US coal companies should embrace the US not using coal, so they they can focus on the export of coal. Once done, they could flood the export market as needed (as Saudis do with oil) and essentially be a coal cartel. They can then properly extend their reach on a global scale controlling the economies of other countries.

How do we know that there was a 50/50 distribution of matter and antimatter? Perhaps antimatter is rare, or more common in the anti universe in a parallel dimension?

Microsoft makes money on Android and probably ChromeOS

If you are not in early, you get lost in the flood of apps. Time for the next big thing.

I would get RHEL cert now and apply for Linux admin jobs. System admin jobs can be outsourced, just like programming. Pretty soon, machines will be able to do that. Only need humans to perform physical on-site service. We will all be assembled.
