educate yourself

then form an opinion

do you honestly believe that if government wasn't there the big guys would fade away? with weak government, the power vacuum is filled even more by plutocrats. they *want* a weak government. without government you think monopolies don't or won't exist? less government means less *regulation*, they gobble up more, you get less choice buddy. and you get less legal recourse from being shafted

what you want, if you follow through on the coherent thought, is less corruption, not a weaker government that is even yet more beholden to money. not possible? study the laws on corruption in the nordic countries, you know, those evil socialist horrors that are actually richer, happier, and more upwardly mobile meritocracies than the usa pretends it is, but is rapidly losing with a shrinking middle class and corrupt congresswhores beholden to the financial powers that less government unleashes even more

good luck kid escaping the bullshit mythology

Comment it's interesting to note a compound's everyday use (Score 2) 75

the fact that someone uneducated will think uneducated things based on noting a compound's everyday use simply means that uneducated people need to educate themselves

in fact, even if we censored such notable common uses as you ask us to, uneducated people will still think stupid, dangerous, and fearful things. so what you ask us to do doesn't even provide the protection you think it does

Comment Re:Chrome needs load tabs on demand. (Score 1, Informative) 117

i used to do that

i discovered chrome has a "bookmark all tabs..." option if you right click on any open tab

pick a location for the folder (i have a top level folder full of 9 numbered folders, so it's chronological)

done

so after 20-30 open tabs, i bookmark all, flush all open tabs, and move on with a much saner life

you should as well

Comment Re:strawman; nobody's asking him to be "PC" or "ni (Score 1) 361

How about handling it sensitively. After all, someone cares enough to think that you need to know and be involved.

Did lower management tiers fail them, are they talking shit or did they just skip the chain of command? For the former you absolutely want to be nice to the individual, they've just helped you realise that you have a problem. For the latter two options it's pretty easy to diplomatically steer them back towards the appropriate channels without being a complete cunt about it.

Can you come up with a reasonable scenario in which being a twat _is_ the correct action, in a business environment?

Target Audience

This tool is meant for use by experienced systems programmers who have extensive experience with one or more of the supported databases.

If you are in management and find the "buzzwords" and "technobabble" confusing, you really should have one of your senior developers look at the site and try out the tool. They're the ones who should be making technology decisions.

If you consider yourself a "programmer" and you find the "buzzwords" and "technobabble" confusing, then the odds are I'm trying to automate your job out of existence.
