^--This. What happened, apparently, is they tried to be everything. You want cellphones? Sure, we've got that. Computers? Sure. Electronics? Well, we'll see what we have left in terms of shelf space... The suits want profits, and don't want to miss out on whatever the next big thing is. I'm sure their electronics hobbyist business generates very small profits compared with, for example, smartphones. I think their business model just played itself out.

That's not what my Mom said.

In space, no one can hear you BSOD..

[Sorry, that's presumptuous..]

In space, no one can hear you core dump. Oh, that just doesn't sound quite right.

No, but.. citation needed. How much moonshining going on nowadays? I really don't know, but it is pretty minimal. At best this is not a good example. Try the situation with weed in states where it is now recently legal. See also: Netherlands.

Next question!

Yes, please tell me what this is and how I may acquire some. Do they accept Bitcoin? Does it have anything to do with puppies? Or pr0n? Because I am very empathy about those.

I apologize, boss. Wait, Brad? That's not you? How do you know so much about me then?

That would be true if Sanders were not experiencing a near media blackout, at least until recently. I heard a BBC story a couple weeks ago that mentioned the Dem race and how there was "no serious opposition" to Clinton, and DID NOT MENTION SANDERS AT ALL. I was dumbfounded. Now finally the mainstream media are apparently catching up. Also, Sanders is the liberal front-runner and, I'm going out on a limb here, the likely nominee. (OK, yes, I am a Bernie fan.) He has the momentum and I think he can pull it off. Then again, just last week I found out that Webb is also in the race. What? How did I not know this? You can say Bernie has sucked all the oxygen out of the room, but I would again say Trump is the main media darling/punching bag. He is stealing "new cycles" (like CPU cycles only newsier) from all the other candidates across the board, on both sides of the aisle. He gets coverage because he is off the hook and an epic asshole. It's like the supermarket store shelves can only carry so many brands, and most of the shelf space is Trump Trump Trump.

Also, I disagree that Bernie is not electable. Case in point, today's political upheavals in Australia and the UK. Of course, the US is a completely different political animal. Simply put, the US electorate is mostly stupid, reacting to tabloid politics and little else. That's why we are where we are. Then again, who thought Obama was electable?

Anyway, must be time for coffee..

Money is controlling the media. It all goes back to the money. Wait, Jim Webb is indeed running. How did I not know that? (the media, thanks media)

... and another thing, another evil being perpetrated is the smokescreen created by Trump and his band of merry media cohorts.. "what Trump said today.. film at 11". It's a sideshow that is drawing attention away from the rest of the candidates, notably the abhorent views of many of the other Republican candidates. When the "sensible" Republican voters (yeah, I know, but follow me here for a moment..) attempt to pick a candidate, they will have scant real information on any of them, because Trump has basically sucked all the oxygen out of the room. I believe the candidates are somewhat in on the joke here. All Jeb, for example, has to do is appear slightly less batshit crazy than the rest of them and the lemmings will follow him, or any of the other corrupt assholes.

Easy. Readable and coherent non-working code can be fixed. Unreadable working code is going to bite you in the ass one way or another. "Well, we want you to modify it to do X." Then what? I deal with this all the time. Don't you? Bad coders make simple tasks complex and complex tasks impossible.

Well, I have seen brilliant mathematicians who write the... Worst. Code. Ever. Sure, they can write code that works, but some of them have no experience in making that code readable (read: maintainable by anyone other than the authors).

... and where is your proof sir? Otherwise, this is a theory. Ha, gotcha again!
