Yeah, I remembered my sister going to a business center to learn how to use Word and Corel draw. She got a useless certificate from the business center no one knows.

My first pc was a Pentium 2, then Pentium 4 and celeron was the king but my elder bro was cheap 😂

I broke the computer several times because of curiousity. Then I built my first website with MS FrontPage. When my friend got his first job in a cyber cafe, I moved to using dream weaver and fireworks.

Since then, I love things like Nvidia graphics card and computer tech.
I had several win95s on 8MB RAM at one time on an internet cafe.
Times have changed.
At the ISP years later the top high end servers had 4GB RAM .

Funny people think Putin has no opposition, like they all one party with the same policies.
Are they opposition if he could snap his fingers like Thanos?

In Russia, he has the infinity stones

Now that enough junk is cramped into the browser, browsers use at least 1gb of ram which is insane. I miss IE 6

I had some free tweaks . rambooster would effectively shut down every other process running in the background in realtime, set it to a limit of say 8MB free, that was 16MB of RAM machines , you'd always have 8MB unless the foreground process was using more than that
Then on IE6, there was a registry setting ":MaxConnectionsPerServer =XX ": which would tell IE6 to use say 6 streams to fetch a webpage. Kinda like what download managers like IDM or prozilla in Linux do when doing downloads.
Usually my PC was always the fastest ,I would find coworkers sitting on my PC in the office.
I never went into serious web dev ,I spent more time on MCSE ,Cisco certifications plus a whole lot of equipment vendor certs like IBM and Mikrotik.
Nowadays I'm lazy, the first thing I do is look for ways to automate scripts task schedules ,network management tools and alerts ,saves me a ton of time .

"Look to the left of you. Look to the right of you, one of you will not be here by graduation time".

That is what I heard the first day of orientation at my High School.
And the headmaster was absolutely right. Our class had dwindled in size by graduation. Many did not graduate.
I did and as a member of the Honor Society.
From SSATs to SATs, I've been tested and have proven myself as that's how I got into two of the best schools in the US.

You two?
You two couldn't even get admitted to mid tier schools in Nigeria.

Stop running your mouth, sounding jealous and competing with someone who's not competing with you. There is no competition. I've competed with smarter.
As I tell raumdeuter, pick up a book, read some editorials and learn something.

I think the media has done a real disservice on this USAID closure story.
They have told the story more of consequences for the US rather than consequence for people who relied on these services and what happens when they are shut down overnight.

Was talking to a friend who works at the World Bank, she was telling me how much of partnership USAID had with a lot of these aid organizations. That a lot of people were going to be affected.

It dawned on me more that people will most likely die because of this decision. A lot of people.
It's absolutely evil and demonic to shut down the programs overnight the way Trump did.
If he wanted to make the argument he had the power to and the programs were a waste he should have at least given the partners 3 months to find alternatives or slow shut them down.
Now there will be people who relied on that food, or HIV medication, other medication, or numerous other things who would have had to find alternatives overnight.
It's the kind of thing you go to hell for.

They could have balanced the story. True, there was some waste but it was so blown out of proportion. And looking at the maga cult, you'd know they were out for revenge and to sow evil. So they couldn't be rational or logical.
They are just rabid blood thirsty wolves praying for the total Apocalypse.

These people believe the rapist trump will bring the end of the world. And sadly the media has long been infested by money hungry people who want to ride the chaos for money. And it gets worse on a local level when we have maga cultist idiots who knows nothing like basilico loco and co fanning the flames instead of pointing the finger inward.

Bet you know more than Miller.

Former senior advisor to President Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, said the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) operated as a financial pipeline for left-wing causes while simultaneously bankrupting the United States.

Miller told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures that USAID has been a primary funding source for radical progressive policies, using taxpayer dollars to fund global gender surgeries, diversity and inclusion programs, and climate initiatives

“Yes, the USAID was a slush fund, first of all, for left-wing projects around the globe, like gender surgeries around the world, diversity, equity and inclusion policies, crazy Green New Deal, climate scams and every other lunatic left-wing project that is bankrupting this country,” Miller said.

Miller also alleged that USAID has been propping up an extensive network of left-wing non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including George Soros‘s Open Society Foundations.

As we reported last week, Soros‘ organizations received a staggering $260 million from USAID, with the funding traced back through several documents and reports.


Funding for programs will continue under more stringent oversight.
Noem Eisen received $17 million from USAID, only thing he produced was a muppet show to promote democracy , according to bonginoreport.com
Don't forget that name . Noem Eisen will feature prominently as the swamp gets drained.

Hey basilico loco, what's up with this shit. It's a week plus now and we still got no grand jury convened yet? Or you are just your usual deranged conspiracy maga cultist?

Still waiting. In btw, Nazi elon and his minions were caught over exaggerating figures, so they quietly removed their three big reveals.

cococandy. Another example of DEI gone awry.

A high school in Minnesota was forced to cancel a field trip scheduled only for students who 'identify as a person of color' after a civil rights complaint was filed.
Mark Perry, a community member and retired professor in Twin Cities in Minnesota, saw information on the field trip, which allegedly only was available to students who identified as students of color, on social media.
The trip for Highland Park High School offered a chance for students to be exposed to digital marketing and advertising careers, according to Perry.
Perry told the Star Tribune that the event, which has been alleged to have discriminated against white students in the civil rights complaint, violated Title VI of the federal Civil Rights Act.
He also said that it equally violated the district's own anti-discrimination policy.


This DEI compares to the example you posted of Gregg Abbott?

The truth is I don't even understand enough about the programs to even say they were wasteful.
Congress allocated money and negotiated most of the programs, so there had to be a rational behind it.
And until I can fully understand that rational and be able to say the rational wasn't worthwhile then I can't call the program wasteful.

Like the programs that provided aid on ebola. They were probably concerned if they didn't fight it and understand it outside the US, if and when it did hit the US it would be devastating. So, in one sense it was aid, on the other it was preventative for US citizens. So, if it did come to the US, how much more money would we be spending then?

I think MAGA isn't understanding that people like Elon are out for their own interests. It's almost sad that the simple manipulation tweets he posts actually work on them.

Cruelty is his stock in trade.

Did you watch his face as he talked about removing Palestinians from Gaza?
Or when that plane collision happened the reporter asked him if he planned to visit the site, he replied “go where? Swimming?” As if people who went to pay their respects at the site had to jump into the water to do so. I mean he didn’t even need to go. All he had to say was “I have no plans for that right now”. Simple straight forward.

They think having empathy is weakness and if you’re passionate about something humane, you are “emotional”. To them that’s worse than being a hard hearted awful human being.

He’s absolutely unequivocally awful.
