Comment Re:Additional advice for foreign students in the U (Score 1) 186

Find a partner and make a baby fast! Your child will be automatically a US citizen. That will child will be your ticket to legal residency in a few years, if you want it later.

That was the key to one part of the plan that was announced: If you have a child who is a US citizen, you won't be deported.

On this note, looking for illegal ladies who want to have a legal baby.

Comment Re:focus on uncontroversial business (Score 1) 108

A decentralized free market like that is good for many reasons. The way to get something like that established is to focus on uncontroversial business. If it primarily becomes a tool for illegal dealings, merely having the software on your computer might be construed by courts as evidence of illegal activity.

Yep, that same way having an unregistered gun means you are a murder.

Comment I got something from nothing (Score 1) 429

Before the big bang we were nothing. Anti-matter you could say. Because there was nothing. Then, a singularity so heavy, so singular, so dense, that it falls into our nothingness, our "anti-matter" and boom, created matter as we know it.

While our universe seems to started from nothing, we actually are just another universe packed into travel size.

While I am not an expert of anything but fixing computers, this is always what seemed more logical to me, then a "God" or something out of nothing theories.

Because we are about to regain some freedom by telling the Democrat party to STFU and sit down?!

Wow. If it was up to me, I'd bitch slap both parties. The problem isn't Democrats or Republicans, the problem is Democrats AND Republicans. Both parties are very incompetent. Instead of trying to help the people, both parties are more worried about the agenda's the superpac's are paying them for.

Comment Re:CP/M needs to buried ... (Score 0) 71

CP/M needs to die in a fire, and be buried, never to be remembered where it belongs.

That stupid piece-of-shit OS couldn't have more then 8.3 characters in filenames when Apple DOS 3.3 had 30 characters (including spaces!); Apple ProDOS had 15 characters the latter which even had sub-directories!

Good bye and good riddance to CP/M -- the OS that held Microsoft, MSDOS, and Windows back for decades. Even _today_ you _still_ see Windows using 8.3 filenames in Windows\System32 !?

I'm a bit lost on how CP/M held back MS, since MSDOS was never compatible with CP/M, and MS choose to stay with the 8.3 filename for as long as they did. If you want to get mad, get mad at MS for not forward thinking when they bought QDos from Seattle Computing and not changing the filename limitation. Shit, get mad at Seattle Computing for putting a 8.3 limitation in QDos, since by your statement it isn't MS's fault that they left things as they are.

Apple is sending out $100 million worth of iPads, MacBooks, and other products. O'Reilly Media is making $100 million worth of educational content available for free. Microsoft and Autodesk are discounting software.

Apple is giving away HARDWARE and Microsoft is offering a discount on software.

I'd be ashamed to work for Microsoft right now.

I'd be ashamed to work for MS at any time in it's history tbh.
