It makes it simpler for police and three letter agencies to gain access to your dna without needing to go through proper channels. It is how that famous serial killer/rapist got caught on a 30 year old cold case. I know the response is

I agree with this full-heartedly I work for a company where my boss told me a couple months in having a dev department was a waste of money for the company, and we were lucky to have a job. The company bread and butter was software that tra

I would if it was the last phone I ever needed. It had full service unless you were a mile underground. A battery life that made Jesus jealous. I like the future idea that phones become such a throw away item you can buy them from vending m

Roughly a week when I did it. Learning it and getting comfort wasn't hard at all. Switching between the two was a little difficult if I went into autopilot, but was manageable. The worst part of the experience was if anyone else touch

Learn to accept it. Only way to stop scrapers is to make it a financial burden for them to scrape your website. There are to many ip address, proxy, vpn, and botnets for you to try and block them all. You can write code to try and tell legi

Got a recruiter she was the worse (dropped her after she committed some criminal acts and repeatedly lied to her clients) would have me in a senior position if she could when I had zero experience. Took first job that made me a offer. Left

It is funny to think a capitalist government could regulate anything. If it makes money then it is good. If it doesn't make money then it is bad. If it challenges the current way we make money it is bad, unless it makes more money then

This might sound like a stupid question, but can a homeless person even get a job? Isn't the whole cycle of becoming homeless evil because you need a residents to apply for a job? Just like all those freelance website require you to li

I don't think coinbase/bitcoin will replace anything. At best they might get 1% of that market, but they will never be real competition. Besides the technical issues where cryptocurrency cannot keep up with the same demands credit

I don't think this really qualifies as a new disto. Maybe should have been named Pobuntu so people would know what they are getting. Wish a desktop focus disto would come out that would make it so people didn't have to feel like s

The interview process sucks, and it probably isn't much better for other careers. I have friends that have master degrees unable to find jobs with no logical way to explain it. Experience and having a good personality isn't a gold

I found my passion by getting really pissed off. One day I was sitting at my windows xp box and I wanted to do something really stupid/simple. I wanted to change all the icons for a application so it would fit my theme. Long story shor
