The Ed does not set curriculum. They don't actually really deal with the education part of education. There's no reason why it needs to exist as its own government department. The functions it has, sure. But those can be housed elsewhere (a mix of DOJ, DHHS, and Treasury would make the most sense)

https://uscode.house.gov/view.... According to 10 USC Ch 12, the militia consists of all able-bodied males 17-45 years old, separated in 2 classes: Organized Militia, which consists of the National Guard and Naval Militia Unorganized Militia, which consists of the members of the militia that aren't National Guard or Naval Militia

Basically no one uses Web Forms. I haven't seen it in the wild in nearly 15 years. .NET Framework and its technologies (including ASP.NET) is a legacy product. Modern .NET (which only has ASP.net Core) is where all new development is taking place. There are virtually no differences when deploying a modern .NET application to Linux or Windows.

.NET hasn't been closed source in quite a while. It's even on github: https://github.com/dotnet

If a company does this, and it's determined by proper authorities (the legal system) that nothing illegal occurred, companies should be required to reinstate access to accounts.

I can say, as a lead developer and architect at several companies over the last 12 years, having a good QA team to catch all the edge cases makes me a much more productive developer. I have worked in many situations where I didn't have Quality Assurance, and the quality for when I did have QA was much much better.

Visual Basic has been based on .NET since 7.0....

I'm a family of 3 earning slightly less than that (within 10k of it though) and I can say its not 100% easy street. I'm a single income household, so it's just me working. I work over an hour from home (I would not be able to earn that income closer to home), so I have to pay for 2 cars. I then have to insure them. I have the mortgage on my modest home (It was only $211,800, so it's not exactly a mansion or anything -- your basic 2 story 2 car garage in the suburbs type deal). Groceries, health care (and I'm lucky my health insurance is cheap with generous benefits -- I used to pay a lot more) , gasoline to work (it adds up due to distance -- I easily drive 80 miles round trip commuting in one of the worst traffic cities -- Atlanta), payments on the appliances, telecommunications (can't live in the modern age without cellphones and Internet), travel costs to see the in-laws on a regular basis, etc... I know a lot of people have it a lot worse than me (my in-laws make $60k in Toronto and struggle a lot more than I do since the cost of living there is insane), but it's not like I'm flush with cash. I live pretty much paycheck to paycheck, it's just my expenses are higher due to various reasons.

I have 2 Hisense TVs (Hisense branded, not Sharp branded). My Smart TV that I purchased failed (the LED backlight stopped working), and they replaced it with a brand new much better model with no issue under warranty when it was almost 2 years old. The replacement was made in Mexico, not China, even. Hisense USA is based in Atlanta (Suwanee GA), not China, though their parent company is Chinese.

Not everyone needs a visa to enter. For those, CBP has to perform a level of scrutiny, and the need to determine if the visitor is really a visitor. A visitor should come here to visit, not seek employment, support themselves, and return home. Part of phone checks for visitors is to do a check to see if there are plans to work in the USA. Should there be rules around it? Yes. Should they be able to do it? Yes.

It's a large metro area with lots of suburbs -- and many tech companies in the area -- in both downtown/Buckhead for the urbanites as well as many of the suburbs. And housing is affordable -- you can rent a house for under $1000/mo and own a big house for under $200k (with very big houses just above $200k -- mine is a 6 bed / 4 bath brand new build at $211k)

I assume your secondary boxes are RNG150s? Call Xfinity and have them swapped for Xi3s. They support rewinding.. As well as a lot of other stuff.. Plus they are smaller and use less power

Not me. I work in the ad technology industry. I actually like my job. It's not like you'll be hurting the ad technology industry much, but it will mean your favorite websites (including Slashdot!) will have less income due to lower average value of impressions (a generic non-targeted impression is worth a lot less to an advertiser than a targeted impression). The ad tech companies themselves charge the same to their clients (the ad agencies for buy-side and the online publishers for the sell side) regardless of if the impression is targeted.

I was unaware the $30 plan did not support the BYOD SIM plan. That sucks. It would be awesome if they did for people who don't need anything fancy.

StraightTalk has a program just for this called StraightTalk SIM. It's $30/mo for 1000 minutes / 1000 texts or $45 for unlimited.
