Yeah, apart from everything else, it’s the idea that the FAA can’t possibly update their language and do the rest of the work. Which I guess is what Fox viewers want to believe, so that they can complain pronouns are an undue burden on their time, energy, and mental capacity.

The biggest problem is mission creep. Absolutely no one in management is content with just replacing like-for-like systems, and then evolving it to modern needs. If they were then most of these loads could be migrated to AWS under emulation of the current system. Instead they want to migrate from the basic functional system directly to something totally new and poorly defined that does everything but bring them coffee in the morning.

This bit did jump out at me:

But Pete — and this is why he looks so good — he looks like he's twelve because the guy's never stressed.

Jealous much?

I spent time caring for my parents before they passed away, and the TV was NEVER shut off. It wasn't on FOX all the time, but it was a good deal of the time. Made me angry, stabby, crabby, and want to drink.

Best putdown of Jesse Watters (that's with 2 T's!) ever! Little known fact about Watters, he was O'Reilly's personal, on-set fluffer!

I remember just how reliable software was in the 90's--my computer crashed on a daily basis--unfortunately, Microsoft has continued that tradition in 2022 with Windows 11, a huge buggy mess that crashes almost daily. If the FAA is still using 30 year old software it is amazing that it doesn't crash on a daily basis

My Opa was in the Dutch resistance during WW2. Killed lots of NAZI's throughout the war, sometimes with his bare hands, his knife, or his Garote. Pure ANTIFA to the core. He made sure to educate me on how to spot NAZI'S. Oh boy it's happening.

The orange fucking moron's reign of terror, the most corrupt, unqualified, obscene nepotism, lying, cheating, stealing admin in history and his kids think they are the smartest on the planet when they are nothing more than fucking morons following in daddy's big fat shadow.

Most likely that system used by FAA is not running M$ Windoze but more like a Unix type OS. Just a guess, maybe someone knows for sure.. Some applications too critical to run on windows.

Why do "conservatives" blame the government for failures within private industries? What? Have they become socialists?

Fatso played a successful businessman on a TV show, so he must be one, right? Just like Larry Hagman was a for real oil company president and an astronaut. People have become so stupid that they can no longer separate fact from fiction.
