I have not always worked for the government - I am on a 5 year contract right now, but have been in IT for 20 years. I started as a video game tester, tried to move up to white-hat but it wouldn't fit on my head. I've been at places like Google as well. Read up on my complicated history at google:

When you're 47, making 50k, and max out the scale at 350lb - there are no jokes. I don't joke - I'm just trying to survive asshat.

Everyone I work with uses google to find a torrent. Into the firefox search bar, type in "movie" year "torrent" "resolution[720p|1080p] - the first 2-3 results give you the file you want. You can say that's stupid, I'll enjoy watching the movie. If my posts are amusing, visit my blog where I discuss my slashdot posts at length, and don't forget the heavy cream in your morning coffee! https://www.kickingthebitbucke...

I'm sure Microsoft has whatever Linux thing you say it has. I'm sure they have a spreadsheet template that organizes your mp3s as well, and some other weird tangents. I work at a real company (well, a government agency actually), and we have real things used in the real world. While technically the sky is not always blue, the sky is blue. To not understand that means you have not ever had a real job. I have 20 years of experience, which includes work at Google btw (I was the physical ditch digger for their new datacenter at the time).

Oh look. Saturday night and the reject is alone posting comments over a line long w/o "stupid" and "moron." Back on your pills you sad sac of loser?

I administer 80 thousand windows workstations and I have not once seen ANY GPL code from Microsoft.

There is no gpl code in cars, but thank you for the straw man. A contract is something both parties must sign - not something that can be simply "publicly declared." I would know, as I am a business owner myself.

That's right asshat. All things that talk over a network listen on a socket. I learned that in my networking class while getting my associate's degree. My grades were all As, and I made the dean's list. What's your point - I should have written a remote management script without using sockets? Maybe an illegal Mexican guy working for $2/hr who walks around with a USB stick? Let's call him Jesus. We could then close up that glaring security hole called IP protocol as well - I hear many viruses spread over IP protocol and HTML. I already don't use HTML though.

Correct. What's your point besides proving asshats can summarize 3 lines of text into 1 line of text?

I had a Chevy Chevette, but everything was broken, including the 12v. I finally trashed it when the seat came off its rail. Now I walk to the bus and on treadmills that can incline with my 350lb of ass on top. The one at my gym can do a 3% grade then I smell burnt rubber.

Thanks bebbe. I love u2. Let's fuck.

Sorry bud, but I'm used to walking on an incline. I work out daily like that. Watch out - I've got the power of FAT behind me. I'll dirty your mousepad, disable windows update via group policy, then sit on you and shoot you with my gun. Then I'll post to slashdot about it, comment on the slashdot post on my blog, and write a book about my blog on amazon. Now that's a money funnel for your ass asshat.

Format c: will also install on my patched system. The python script fixes broken computers, not broken users. My rich uncle (think $1mil+) is 70 years old and has been working 16 hour days all his life to save up for a 250k tractor (farmer). If he steers into a wall it's not the fault of John Deer software.

What we need is a spring dynamo generator in the shoes to recharge our wearables. I walk 4 times a week to work out - if there was a company that made a shoe charger for wearables, I would definitely buy stock, and would suggest everyone here to the same. It is an untapped goldmine. I unfortunately do not have time to work on this right now as my time is taken up by getting an A+ certification this year. Here's me walking (I'm the one who look like a football player) http://media.gettyimages.com/p...

I work for a 3 letter government agency the name of which I am not allowed to disclose under my 5 year contract. Pray to God I don't come over to your apartment.

I am responsible for security at an unnamed 3 letter government agency. I make sure patches are applied to 80k laptop and desktop windows workstations, and I can tell you Malwarebytes is not a realistic way to defend against something like this. Back in my days as a video game white-hat tester I wrote a python script. After much refactoring, it now logs in to every box through a client listener socket I have open on each workstation, and checks to make sure everything is patched. This is the only realistic way to manage security - not an afterthought like AV. If you're patched up to the latest, you're not getting infected - Windows, Mac or Linux is irrelevant to the conversation.
