Apparently some think that the root password to the US Constitution is "4daChildr3n"

What sane woman would get into tech, when being a lawyer or MBA is so much more lucrative?

When Michael Lewis wrote Liar's Poker he was shocked over the number of people who contacted him, asking for advice on how to get into investment banking.

You are aware, that the first slave owner in Virginia, who went to court over his slave, was a black man, right?

Bureaucracy's main purpose is to create more bureaucracy.

As a side effect, they collect taxes or issue you your driver's license, it is just a means to the end of self-perpetuation.

Eliminating the income tax and going to a much more transparent method like higher fuel taxes (everyone pays them because everyone uses transportation) or some other broadly based consumption tax, would be excellent.

Be quiet... don't give them any ideas. Next I will have to declare "Nerf Gun Friday afternoon" benefits on my tax return ...

Weird prediction: some 22 year old is reading a bunch of these now. He/she will enter the foreign service of his/her respective country and become a great career diplomat as a result.

OpenVZ gives you a container as they call it, which looks like its very own Linux OS. You can login to it, install packages with the package manager, etc. All processes you run, e.g. Apache/PHP, plus MySQL , run in this VM. PHP and MySQL would communicate over a Unix local socket, same as on non-virtualized Linux OS.

Docker appears to run each process, in isolation. So you would have 2 isolated processes (Apache/PHP, plus MySQL) which can only talk to each other over a local network pipe (which should be quite fast with minimal overhead).

Some of what you say certainly fits with what Russians I have spoken with have told me. That EVERYONE was treated like crap, it wasn't limited to Jews.

"It was understood that since Jews represented a minority percentage of the overall population, the university would only accept that percentage into the student body. This was in line with the Soviet Union’s unofficial policy of anti-semitism in the post-Stalin era."

So, quotas... are there quotas, official or unofficial, in the USA university system?
