My young kid used to love Alexa, because it would play their favorite songs for them. Now, I'm dealing with a screaming child that doesn't understand how Alexa could be such a jerk. They and I certainly don't think this an im

Back when QNX was distributed on floppy, my work locked down their computers so that I couldn't dial out to the internet. So I booted up the QNX off the floppy and was browsing within minutes. My boss walked in on me browsing the inter

It's really beyond the DoD itself to solve these problems on their own. Pay increases require approval beyond those institutions further up the executive branch, and I believe in congress in some cases. Pay raises happen at the beginni

Outschool is really hit or miss. There are basically no requirements for the "teachers" so it can be anyone. Which is as not a bad thing as it sounds. My daughter had an amazing high schooler that taught her some art, beyond my ab

While I don't think that drug addicts should go to "jail" for being found using hard drugs - there should exist some incentive to go through treatment. Some freedoms or state granted benefits could be curtailed. Perhaps losin
