Comment Of Course It Is (Score 4, Insightful) 78

And they're not going to do anything about it until it actually happens, because that would cost money and some douchebag CEO wants a fat bonus this quarter. There could be a law if you could get Congress to cooperate. And if they weren't all old and actually understood anything about computers. You'd think as much as most of them fly, they'd be worried about that. I'd guess if you ask any given one, it wouldn't even be on their top 100 list of things to be worried about. Probably not even on their top 100 list of things to be worried about while flying.

Comment About As Advertised (Score 3, Insightful) 142

Longmont municipal fiber just got run to my house. It's about as advertised, but there's a huge difference between knowing I can push 600ish megabits per second up and watching a 2GB skydiving video upload to youtube faster than I can type the description into the video description box. Hmm. Maybe I should make a video of me uploading my next high pull video to youtube. It'd be a lot smaller than 2GB, that's for sure!

No doubt it'll slow down a bit as more people pile on, but it should be pretty sweet for the forseeable future.

Comment In Depth Analysis (Score 1, Funny) 676

Hillary is pretty much poison to any Republican candidate. They already can hardly go 5 minutes without putting their foot in their mouths about women, immigrants or God. Sometimes all three. Hillary will bludgeon ever male candidate with her vagina until they just can't help to say "rape babies are God's punishment for Mexicans," or dumb[-ass shit like that. Admit it, that would not sound the least bit out of place coming out of the mouth of any likely Republican candidate. The only chance the Republicans have would be to nominate a female candidate who's not Carly Fiorina or Sarah Palin. Condoleezza Rice would be a good option and also the only other female Republican I can think of off the top of my head. I see some of you starting to point at some members of the Fox news team, but those are actually animatronic characters that get shut down and put back in the closet at the end of their daily news cycle.

Heh heh yeah. I generate 2-3 GB a week in skydiving videos. Last week the municipal internet guys came around and ran gigabit fibers to my house. I started my upload for a long high pull video and it was uploaded before I could finish typing the description. I'm pretty sure my home internet is now faster than any place I've ever worked. In fact, I'm pretty sure my home internet is now faster than the local network speed of any place I've ever worked.

Comment Easy Solution To H1B Problem (Score 4, Insightful) 407

Have the local IT union hold the H1B. They can make sure the H1B's wages are exactly the same as anyone else's and if the H1B guy doesn't like the company, the union can place him somewhere else.

Also: Create a local IT union. Seriously. You people keep complaining that you're getting fucked and fucked and fucked and yet the moment someone suggests creating a union... well... comments to follow.

I reckon they reckon they can kill him. Then he'll be dead, and we can all go have milkshakes.

Leaving him with the families would likely not result in milkshakes for anyone. Most people have no idea how to kill a guy and they'd probably muck it up badly. Blood everywhere. No one enjoys that.
