I thought that the tech giants where united in demanding higher computer literacy among graduates (you know, to pull salaries down for IT work). These people have plenty of money with which to bribe the government, so, it doesn't stand to reason that the government would reject their concerns out of a desire to keep people stupid.

It's perfectly reasonable if your objective is to reduce social mobility. We can't have those poor people getting good jobs!

This is a company going down the drain, just because some newb MBAs have decided they can increase prices to infinity, and as long as one customer remains, they come out ahead.

It's working for Broadcom at the moment: revenue for their VMWare products is up.

Are you using oultlook.com for your company's hosted email? If not then YOU have to setup your DNS correctly.

Yes, and yes it is set up correctly. The problem is that Microsoft uses servers not listed in its SPF record (include:spf.protection.outlook.com ) to send to itself.

As the post above notes: emails sent to other destinations do not fail SPF checks.

let me mention the other elephant in the room: the picture quality of most modern TV shows and movies is abysmal.

What I really hate is when a character holds up a piece of paper with writing on it that the audience is supposed to read. Most times, it is illegible or it is presented for far too short a time for me to read. I suspect that a very large percentage of the population have the same issue.

The editors and audio engineers need to actually watch their output on a typical (NOT high-end) home TV screen setup to see how most people will see and hear their production.

Do they not recycle numbers?

They can't. In California, if you can find a set of California plates that have been registered at some time in the past, you can bring them to the DMV and get them registered again to your car. If they recycled numbers, there could be duplicate registrations (or they would have to change the rules on re-using using old plates).

You should ask British people about their complaints before you decry the US health care system

And you should not make assumptions before posting and showing your ass.

I am British. I have relatives living there. So I probably know much more than you about the experience of public healthcare in the UK. I know that in the US, often you pay a lot for sub-par healthcare.
