What I heard was Bill Gates hired David Cutler from Digital Equipment Corporation and David Cutler brought over the entire source code for VAX VMS which then became the foundation for Windows NT. In fact I think I read somewhere that many of the data structures between VAX VMS and Windows NT are practically identical.

I thought speaker Johnson said there will be no more aid under this administration?

So you're just referring to government IT recruiting? That's certainly nowhere near what happens at any of the companies I've worked at. There is usually some placement firm, I would say located in the US, that's supposed to filter out the list of candidates. Then there is a round of phone interviews. If they make it past that they there are in-person interviews. The interviewers then meet to come up with a final yes/no whether the person will be offered a job. That's at least the high level. People from HR could do some of the initial interviews before having the hiring manager and people from his/her team conduct more in-depth interviews.

Not sure how accurate this is. To be honest I'm not that familiar with the situation in Africa. I do know there are non-African mining companies which have purchased land and mining that land. I know because I had shares of one of those mining companies. I'm guessing they paid good money for the land to the African government and I'm guessing they also hire locals to work the mines and wouldn't be surprised if they have to pay some sort of percentage of the value of the precious metals they mine. So what's wrong with that? If Africa has the know how and technology to mine themselves then why don't they do it? My guess is that they don't have the know how or the technology.

I'm a living breathing human and I would not assume there's any meaning to it. Maybe there is, but I'm not going to assume that at the onset.

Not sure that's true. I believe in more than one state it's banned outright or banned after some number of weeks. Therefore in those states you probably can't find a doctor/clinic to perform an abortion, whether you're willing to pay for it or not.

Is this true? I've got startlink at home and you need a pretty large view of the open sky. Am I going to be able to receive or make a call while in a wooeded area, or indoors or anywhere else without a large view to the open sky? I'm wondering whether there's something in-between the satellite and your cell phone, like a cell tower.

Is there any link to information to back up the title? And why does financing something with a short term bond make it a time bomb?

He should ignore the petition. I'm not backing this guy, but the guy got voted in, assuming no election fraud (which might be a bad assumption). The people got what the majority voted for. Maybe they'll do better at voting next election.
