Windows isn't an OS, it's a bad habit that wants to become an addiction

Kill it

Years ago our local pool used Windows PC machine to read card readers ID and open the electric latch .. the decade old machine died and they couldn't get a serial adapter gadget to work that connected to the ID scanner .. and they lost the data base the application used.. ..they had to replace the entire infrastructure.

There are hundreds of thousands of gadgets deployed waiting for the same fate.

America's work force is too stupid to contribute anymore

Mark Liu, Chairman of TSMC, the Taiwanese company leading the world in advanced chip production. told Sixty Minutes America has lost the ability to manufacture highly technical electronics because it abandoned STEM education, and lacks advanced manufacturing engineering skills.

America cannot build and maintain the manufacturing environments, let alone the designs. They have outsourced everything to Asian countries to be closer to the manufacturing points.

In other words -- America's work force is too stupid to contribute anymore.

Re: total crap

Being a " free lance " or " contractor " by choice is a crock of shitte. It essentially means you are unable to maintain a full-time.job and meet expectations .

A contractor makes less, has no benefits, no PTO no sick time, ,no bonus , no raises , no profit sharing or right to file patients. In other words you are ..at best .. a second class citizen.

The only role.a contractor should have is taking their money while looking for a full time position . That is exactly what a corporation is doing to you. ... and in the end you are nothing more than a hooker left behind in a cheap motel..
