Castillo de San Marcos - Built at Sea Level in 1672.

Castillo de San Marcos - Still at Sea Level in 2025.

1) break government
2) privatize what's left
3) profit

that's really it. they have zero care (the R party) for regular non-billionaire people. regular people need government. ultra rich are the ones who pay government to make laws that favor them.

I guess its not clear to everyone so it will be stated again: the R party is the robber baron party and they are not here to HELP anyone but themselves.

Fair enough. But this specific movie is not an example of something that brings in new subscribers. There's nothing niche about it and nothing that targets a specific group of people or especially hobbyists or enthusiasts.

This is just a straight up bad movie, considering the amount of money that went into it.

For example, if Dune or LOTR were flop movies, I would agree with you and say that it still made sense for Netflix to finance those movies because those are cult classics and people will join Netflix just to see them. Or many of your vintage classic movies. Or Clint Eastwood Westerns. There are people who are super passionate about those genres and niches and even fans of those specific movies.

You mean, a window?

Seriously, just stop spreading BS. Intel cannot be remotely compared to AOL, and even your fear-mongering of "stock options getting stolen" is largely BS. For the record, Intel switched from stock options a long time ago to RSUs or restricted stock units. Intel has been in existence for decades and has made steady profits for shareholders for decades. Intel's employees have become literal millionaires - and thousands of them. You're comparing this to some BS based on some cherry picked anecdotal data or some skewed comparison with startups.

Intel is not a startup. It has been rock solid for literally decades - spanning the career lifetime of many many employees. People have literally joined Intel fresh out of college and have retired out of Intel and have seen massive wealth creation from stock options they received. Not the paranoid BS you are writing.

Show me ONE example in Intel's 55+ years of history where Intel's lawyers have screwed Intel's employees out of stock options? Otherwise you're just farting in the wind.

clearly, you must be right.

after all, life is *so* good for jews, here in the US.

with the ratio of muslims to jews in the US, yeah, the jews have it made.

Just tell them I've stopped using Windows at Windows 95. Let them mind their business.

(being slightly less rude: I had to work in Windows machines recently, and I found out the WSL enviromment is completely usable, so, safe for some UI quirks(*), they are doing a good job)

(*) Among which the "black windows with black borders" theme for _some_ apps, which makes it a PITA each time you have one window on top of other - how that ever became the default for anything???

How is this of any significance to humanity? Seems like a weird way to waste both time and money.

here's the story I tell everyone in embedded, who is new to the field.

you want 3 boot partitions. 2 for flash and 1 for ROM.

your update toggles between partA and partB. you cant write to partC, its minimal and in rom. its there in case both A and B are not bootable (watchdog based).

I worked at a company that made radios that were for ISP's to use, tower to tower. a tower climb can cost $10k. you do NOT want to have to hire someone just to reboot or fix bad firmware. we learned that the cost of 3 partitions was worth it.

I used to work at car companies and guess what: they only have 2 boot partitions (at most) and they never have that rom partition. I've told several of them and they dont seem to see the cost benefit. (shrug)

but just be aware, if you want the job done right, have 3 partitions and one should be read-only so that you can always always recover to something; then use that to reflash A and or B.

Now all my crappy code will crash much faster. ;)

we understand your feelings.

but the fact is that your government will go to any length to achieve its goals.

we are at war with russia. for all practical purposes, its a full war and that means things that are normally ok in times of peace are not, in times of war.

if/when your country decides to play nice with the ROW, then you can come back to the table with the rest of the adults.

but not until then.

sorry, but the truth is the truth even if it hurts.

I made my chat font Comic Sans because I think it's funny that the "Supreme Allied Linux Commander" for our organization (me) uses Comic Sans on Skype For Business. Keeps 'em on their toes.

csb: around 2000 or so, I applied for a job at ATT (labs). they asked for the resume in simple text, pure ascii. mine was already in that format so it was easy for me. the job was for a freebsd guy and it was fun, and I think I got noticed from the crowd of applicants just because I didnt have 'fonts and crap' on my resume and it was literally viewable 7bit text.

that wont work anymore. I dont know what you need to do to stand out, anymore.

(my experience goes back to 1985 or so, and I'm often told to remove the old jobs since age-ism is a thing and even though my early computer jobs were important, they give my age away. sigh..)

wont matter.

the resumes the bot will get are already filtered.

h1b and young age will always get first picks.
