Will it be different from the multidecade depression Trumplestiltskin and his posse of grifters is pulling us into now ?

I'd reply but several rational people have done so. Like him or not don't deny what he preached. White America running things like it was in the fantasy they have about the 50's. All the minorities and the problems "they" created would just go away...

Learn to swim. The best outcome would be gills.

Who are you and what are you doing on /. ? That crappy "logic" has no place on the interwebs in "discussion". Go back to whatever bright and sunny hell you came from...Fcks'n alien or something... /sarcasm

Charley Kirk was a a venal violent hate spewing bigot. As a rule, I don't approve of violence as a method to solve political discourse, but he got exactly what he was calling for others to receive. Treat others how you would be treated, or suffer what you would do unto others.
Conservatives are just using their political leanings to cover their unquenchable greed and desire to control everything.
Liberals feel like the universe owes them something and they are going to ensure we all collect.
Somewhere in the middle obscured by corporate media and struggling to afford groceries is reality.

The Arizona education system was crap prior to the charter school issue. The state republican's seem to think that 48th as a state is a good number all around. All expenditures in Arizona go through the legislature regardless of what the statue said. So the school funds get shorted by those @%$@#^%@...

Cops are not allowed Unions. They have associations but they are not mandatory, and they are not allowed to strike. Reality shows blue flu happens but in small amounts.

Arizona's problem is a shitty education system. If you want a decent education you must go outside the public school system. It is sad that the state chooses NOT to fund education, and they get away with it. Arizona is not a really good example, they don't fund the prison system or pay for prison Doctors either.
As for corp's getting involved...it is about time. Industry needs to help direct the needed education topics, and put up some $$$$, they are the primary benefactors.

I came here to promote the idea it would be Online via Grand Canyon University, but you beat me to essentially the same point.

I worked for Digital for a time. They supported 911 all over the west coast at the time. An outage like that should NOT have happened. Triple redundancy hot swap environments on 3 way clusters means there should have been a stable certified environment available at all times. I'd bet either the vendor or the client cheaped out on hardware config. Unless there is a major backbone failure clients should be able to get through.

You could try Fsck'n off. Restricting the commands seemed to work SO well for the people who wrote the agents. I am sure YOU can fix it all and everything will be peachy. In the mean time I again suggest Fsck'n off :)

I don't own a console. Can you play your discs offline ? or do you have to be logged in all the time.

Yes, but just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you. It's not like one of them didn't do something similar already. Whether it hacks a firewall or utilizes all available resources you can't trust them to follow guidelines.

In my experience, only one person for a long time. They fall out or lose connection fairly frequently. I can't say anything about swimming with one. She uses Libra buttons but I don't know the exact model or such. We've had issues with the one phone app not recognizing a button as well but not often.

I've a friend who uses the Libra monitors and they are not good. They lose connection and can't reconnect, meaning you have to use a new one. She runs out of them every order and spends weeks testing the old fashioned way via strip. If one comes loose it is also useless and has to be replaced. She uses a bandage to secure them. The tech has a way to go before it is full-proof, or even generally useable for an active person.
