Thank you for eliding their elusive allusion.
Or was it just an illusion?
These groups were simply made for each other, for our entertainment. Certainly a better use of packets than streaming sitcom television anyway.
Huzzah! Those with mod points, heed this voice!
Maybe Apple doesn't want to dethrone Microsoft.
Correct. They don't. They want to make them irrelevant. And Microsoft seems to be helping them mightily.
Comcast wanted to triple the rate to go from minimal analog to the equivalent digital offering. We said, "No thanks," and disconnected completely. Even my ten-year-old son was on board with the decision.
We watch a few shows on Hulu, get movies from the local library, and don't miss standard television at all. Much much better.
I've been developing software professionally for over thirty years. Haven't had a job yet that hit the three-year mark. Half the companies I've worked for no longer exist.
How any particular job will end is always a source of speculation and amusement. Got a great contract now, which could go fairly long term. We'll see.
You can't conceivably talk to all of the 10,000s of stupid businesses/hospitals/agencies who accept SSNs as ID and thus facilitate fraudulent use of your SSN...
No, but most places do not verify your SSN. Unless they have a legal need for my actual number (banks, brokers, &c.), I give them an alternate number. It's in the form of an SSN, and it can be derived from my real one by a s00per-s3kr1t algorithm, so it's easy for me to recall and recognize.
Nobody's complained yet. Works surprisingly well.
