That is not a valid use case to trump adopting new standards. Especially for a tech site. No work place stuck on internet explorer 6 because of intranet applications should be allowing you to use that same browser to access the general world wide web. I've worked for a range of places as a consultant over the last year, and the oldest in use is IE9 (windows 7). I have a friend still stuck on XP and so they have IE8; but that is clearly a massive mistake these days to be using that computer in the net.

Have you ever looked into that? the logic is kind of funny. The idea is that a person that smart would [probably] not want to be a career police officer. So, it isn't worth training someone who they are predicted will leave the job.

thank you.

"Trust but verify" is the tag line around here.

Troll? I just thought it was funny. Obviously any coder knows that number of commits/patches doesn't necessarily make software better or worse...

What? Common usage as influenced by the people who make money convincing you to think that way maybe...

I believe in fair laws, and if you equate theft with copying you do society a disservice.

Modern communications has come a long way since then; it is probably possible to contain that communication to a known band and not spill into neighboring ones. Especially because one of the few times HAM is still relevant is in local emergence communications (when cell is down / overloaded)

So, is it because they have to, or is it because they want a Highscore?

Public opinion always matters. Now I don't mean our little tech-y corner of the internet, but once you start to get like 70% of america on the same page about something- there is real power behind that non-legal opinion. After all- laws can be changed

burrrn! so [not] topical!

I'm thinking Logan's Run [https://www.google.com/search?q=logans+run+crystal&source=lnms&tbm=isch]

Isn't this what ECC RAM is for?

that is not quibbling. That is answer the question correctly as they are operating w/in the confines of the guidance they've been given.

...tolerance...

I can do my job well and voice my dissenting opinion at the same time
