Comment StumbleUpon Nightmares... (Score 0) 230

I had problems with StumbleUpon bringing me to webpages, that while were safe for work, would bring up questionable material that, at the time, probably didn't look so good (i.e. "How to make Thermite" came up once while I was in the middle of a custody battle with my ex... The Police officer didn't seem amused when he questioned me.)

But, yes, lack of technical know-how in the non-technical community puts anyone who knows enough about technology to be dangerous (even if we never use it for that purpose), completely at risk. If I ever wanted a high-clearance job, that one incident will come up for the rest of my life, and I will, once again,have to spend hours and hours explaining what came up, bad timing, what happened, no I never read the article, no I never sent death threats to my ex., etc.

Was/is a NIGHTMARE!!!!!

This is entirely untrue. Living in a state where gambling is legal in the US, I've worked with many, MANY developers who have come out of companies who supply casinos with the software for their systems. If you can code, and you have the proficiency of, say, a wet piece of bark, yeah, you'll probably not get hired. However, if you come out of working in the gaming industry (or, "the industry" as we call it in NV) with a gleaming resume, the fact that you can say that you've developed successful systems that are currently live in casino "X" will absolutely shine.

Kids try to be like their parents a whole lot more than they try to be like Tommy Vercetti.

This kinda makes you wonder...

My son currently stays with his mother and her husband the majority of the time. The last time he stayed with me, he kept taking everything away from his sister and slapping her...
