Not sure how it works in Canada, but here in Florida to get a handicap permit you take a doctors note to the DMV .... Granted once you have that if HR tries to stop you from parking in a legal handicap space, that is a different issue (and not legal in US, probably not Canada)

Dunno about this, but Cisco has offered a LPI cert prep course via NetAcademy for quite some time, and it uses Ubuntu as its distro (and has a pretty freaking awesome browser based VM that runs a system for doing labs, etc in)

Or they could be growin' dope ....

I run Teams, Outlook, all the office stuff I need via Chrome on Linux with no issue and have been for years.

My bank doesn't rate an app.. they have a website that works fine in a browser (desktop or mobile). I'm probably an edge-case for user behavior/desires, but I won't install an app on my iphone that does something I can do via browser.

No so much corporate, but lots of stuff with various levels of government can simply be solved by policy - simply require anything/everything related to government services to be served up from a .gov or .state.abbr.us domain name.

Why? Well, lets look at your free annual credit report that you can get. Go google/ddg/bing/whatever for "free annual credit report" like most common folk would do, and tell me which of them is the one run by the FTC and therefore sure to be legit? If you search the FTC website, you'll find it is on a .com domain - if the domain policy was in place, annualcreditreport.ftc.gov or acr.ftc.gov or whatever would be an instant indication that it is legit.

They've got some serious claws on their feet, as well as spurs.

Do some cross breeding with wild turkeys to up the attitude levels, or go for broke and bring in some cassowary genes...

Yup, first semester intern that needs absolute explicit instructions. The only immediate benefit is that they type really really fast

Dunno, I go out on the mud flats and oyster bars of the gulf coast for my fishing just about every weekend, and yes, just walking in the mud or shoving thru it with a paddle, or disturbing bottom with my trolling motor prop can bring some nasty smelling gasses out

I would think though that any channel large enough for a big ship like what you'd want to use to transport goods (as opposed to a 12-18' flat bottom boat or canoe or pontoon) would have sufficient current flow and regular disturbances from passing ships to not have such a build up of silt and organic muck that would let those gasses build up

I've been using AI like a first semester intern, and it works great and for what I use it for it is much faster than me doing it by hand

boss: "hey, we need to suck this csv file in and store in a DB for the report writers..."

me to ai - "for this csv header row, make a DB2 create table statement, add an auto generated index called row_id, and then create a pojo that uses the @BindByName, @Entity and @Column annotations to import and save it" and then give it the CSV header row. Copy/paste results to my IDE, a bit of clean up and it is pretty much done.

For this type of stuff it is great, but you do need to treat it like a first semester intern and be explicit with your directions and then double check and confirm everything ....

If anything like psilocybin mushrooms or peyote, you puke and the trip kicks in

I'd rather people learn the skills that make a good coder - critical thinking, problem analysis, etc.

The BSD license is more "do what you want with the code" whereas the GPL is protective of the next guy down the line

Better, take money out.

What percentage of seats available were sold?

Indeed... they left out the 3rd state when starting this whole thing...
