Maybe now's the time to abandon the W3C - Maybe we can encourage the EFF to create a "Free Web Consortium." Sort of like "let's encrypt." I think this would better server a free and open web for the 21st Cent

This sounds like they are going to sell the water management, water rights to a for-profit company, once the taxes are in place. Guaranteed income & increases for years to come. It's sad that most of our resources of necessity are

Regardless of where these jobs are going, H1-Bs are used for the cheap labor, not the best skills. This system has been abused especially by the financial services corporations. First hand experience: If you have an open request to hire,

Many Financial Brick and Mortar, like JP Morgan Chase uses H1Bs quite heavily. Many of the job positing listed show this. H1Bs are used as a cheap source of labor and nothing more.

Next up, TSA at your local interstate Toll booth. If you have EZ-Pass or similar, then you will automatically be enrolled into TSA - Precheck. This is needs to stop. Contact your representatives and tell them hell no.

I've heard, first hand that Citi is extremely toxic. People are mistreated, are abused (verbally) on a frequent basis. There's no accountability within the ranks and management doesn't care and encourages it I almost accept

MS has every incentive to ensure that their Operating systems get the best hardware and show they are the more stable and scalable. I wouldn't trust an operating system company that runs a "server farm" where they have their

I agree with your statement. I wouldn't trust MS to run FreeBSD on their hardware at all. What if they throttle the performance of FreeBSD without you ever knowing it? Embrace and extinguish has always been their motto.

Here are some, or maybe this is not part of the NT Kernel... 1. The use of drive letters A-Z for file system access. 2. Creating symbolic links to files and folders, like you can in Unix/Linux. You have to set a setting somewhere to e

Pretty neat stuff. I think that MS should just create their own Linux Distribution & port all MS products. Get rid of the Windows NT Kernel. I believe it's outdated & doesn't have the same update cycle that the Linux Ke

This is outrageous. The police can get away with this because they have a weapon, a gun, which can kill you if you resist. Or at the very least, call other cops, arrest you and throw you in jail and ruin your life while you have to prove

What we will see more and more in America is the privatization of all "public" utilities and services (schools->charter, Libraries-->?). This will enable and allow these non-public corporations to enact and enforce censorsh

Ah, the good old days. I built a mini DB with the Indexing kit. What I discovered was that the kit itself wasn't 100% functional & some of the API/Function calls didn't work. But I had an amazing time programming on a N

I agree. I was wondering why this is such a big deal. When a "neural networking" computer has a flash of inspiration and creates a screen play for a movie, and creates a virtual world based on that screen play. Then we'll

Sounds like the distraction was on purpose so that the theft of the laptop could occur. Perhaps TSA agent was in on the issue & the reason they're saying it's not a crime.

tremon - When a government has all of the weapons and the means to use them against the population, you no longer have an accountable government. This is how it is today in America and it appears to be getting worse. I don't condone

Why would anybody give up their password & allow the police to work on your computer? Let them take the systems and accept the risk that running a TOR node in this day and age will get you a visit from the police or similar. This guy g

Higher Management @juniper are well aware of these back doors. They will deny it, which is what they have been told to do by our government. There are many more devices that have this type of back door.
