Comment Don't Worry it's MetaData (Score 1) 238

Does anybody realize that it's the meta data that actually counts? What is at stake is the freedom of association.No one cares about the some terrorist chat chatting about the next meeting, they want to know WHO you associate with and that way the relationships can be tracked. Guess what? Your relationships are now tracked openly. People are morons to allow this to happen.

Comment Re:Meanwhile here in Oregon... (Score 1) 504

Another Oregon voter for mail-in/drop-off ballots... If you have a politician who supports, votes, or in any way endorses electronic widgetry voting, guess what - he's a crook and a thief. Paper is the only real trail you will ever have. It's ridiculously cheap, easy to count (and recount) and much, much harder to defraud on a massive scale. I pity this country. Gary Malcolm

How's that rewards card treating you? Cause that's what my company and a million others are paying a good portion of those fees for. On a related note - why should they give up their profit, it's not like consumers give a rat's ass about the (hidden) cost to the merchant and you can well imagine that a set cost of those fees is used to elect US Senators (see Delaware).

Comment Discrete + Statisitcs (Score 1) 466

Discrete is so useful for DB work and logic of programming flow but what I missed most and had to teach myself was statistics and finance. It's hard when you are in a meeting with a bunch of finance guys who couldn't lick your boots in a diff calculus class but think you're a moron for not being familiar with variance or amortization.
