Reference?

I'm missing the rage over the switch. I like GNOME.

Points for civility in vehement disagreement.

IKR especially considering the space program, shipbuilding and aerospace & automotive manufacturing explosions down South in the last 30 years. To name a few:

• Airbus

  • Mobile AL
  • (somewhere in FL)

• Austal USA - Mobile AL

• BMW - Spartanburg SC

• ~~Boeing - North Charleston SC~~ (whoops...bad example)

• Ford

  • Atlanta GA
  • Norfolk VA

• GE Aviation (somewhere in NC)

• Geely (owns Volvo Cars) - (somewhere in SC)

• GM:

  • Shreveport LA
  • (somewhere in TX)

• Haas F1 team (somewhere in NC)

• Honda:

  • Swepsonville NC
  • Greensboro NC
  • Lincoln AL
  • Timmonsville SC
  • (some transmission plant in GA)
  • (some parts facility in GA)

• Hyundai - Montgomery AL

• Kia (somewhere in GA)

• Mercedes-Benz - Vance AL

• Nissan

  • Canton MS
  • (somewhere in TN)

• Volvo Trucks - Dublin VA

I'm probably missing a Toyota plant in Texas. Ole Miss aided with the HondaJet program.

All right. It shouldn't have happened in the first place.

1. Yes.

2. Providing context doesn't magically make something morally correct. It illustrates the circumstances.

There are all kinds of circumstances under which people commit grave wrongs in the face of adversity. If we're going to punish everyone for every wrong committed regardless of surrounding circumstances, there's far more punishment to dispense, regardless of political stripes.

Yeah. For-profit prisons need to go. Privatization works on many things but not this.

The Bill of Rights included an abolitionist amendment, but they were not confident it would pass, hence its exclusion.

Not defending it. Don't shoot the messenger.

I have a CS degree and spent a couple months in my backseat.

Eh...they'll just pay the ransom like everyone else.

There are two markets for cybersecurity:

1. Private companies who get it
   (of which there aren't many)
2. Federal government
   (who lives on the nonstop taxpayer gravy train)

The manufacturing and engineering worlds still need people, and it dovetails well into our existing skillsets.
