First they came for our master git branches, then our blacklists, now they want our webserver...

Man, I actually remember this

Here in Australia we just report the IMMI number as stolen and the phone companies block it... why does America have to do things the hard way?

and now... 20+ years later on... do we still enjoy it?

I started because there was a computer... and I wanted to... I enjoyed the problem solving, making it do what I wanted it to do.
I continued because I wanted to...
once I actually reached school age I was discouraged through most of it... so I continued then because I wanted to...
It wasn't until grades 11/12 that I was again encouraged, and there I excelled, the course work was beneath me, but I rose to the occasion and returned more than was asked of me...
Now I've been doing it as a job for 20 years... I don't want to...
The fun is gone, I'm tired of it, work ruined it...
No freedom, no control, all "make this so" but no "how about this?", no chance to innovate...
Expected to produce amazing results while being treated like a clerk...

I get home most nights and just turn on the TV now, programming was the only thing I ever wanted to do because it just felt so right.

*shrugs* the women are being paid aren't they?

If they don't want to do it then they're free to find other work, it is a free market in a free country after all.

Capitalism!

Trust me, as someone who has a PS3 and "chose" to keep the other os feature instead of partaking in the "optional" required update to remove it.

I can't play recent games, I can't play recent movies... so they have ways of forcing you to update...

You don't need this sort of security on the phone.

In Australia they just bar the phone from networks by IMMI - a stolen phone is useless without the need to hamper the operations of whoever owns it

Funny thing is, if we were to dig around in their personal lives and post what we found... we'd end up in jail so quickly...

No

Just keep a watch on the September elections in Australia

If the Coalition get in you can gaurentee 20 more years of copper wiring here - so when wherever you are goes all modern and new, move down under - we're backwards.

Shut down antiquated banks.

I'm sure we can save a fair wack of power by pissing them off.

She couldn't hear people enter the shop...

Vibrating bracelet bluetooth bracelet and replace the baton with a wiimote :)

You wouldn't believe the effort I went to to get my hands on a copy of The Last Starfighter - in the end, it's a US version I had to rip before I could watch, but at least I could say I paid for it.

s/You're dumb./Go away before I replace you with a small shell script!/;

fixed :D
