This is the song that never ends...yes it goes on and on my friends...some people...started singing it, not knowing what it was...and they'll keep on singing it forever just because...this is the song that never ends...
yup. that, and overall, as much as i hate MS, they're overall easy to use. easy for the people who don't really know computers to pick up on, as opposed to *nix.
i work at a network hub for the army, and we have a sun server that runs part of the satellite comms. when the current company's contract expires, and GD takes over, everything's going to windows. in my last unit, the unix box we were using for battlefield awareness got replaced by a server 2003 box. *nix/everything except windows is slowly going away as time goes on.
^^ agreed. I tried, I did, but after book 5 when the series still didnt look like it was going anywhere, as much as I may have liked some of the character ideas and such, I had to put it down.
Except for the whole killing people thing.
Except for that I work on computers as a network admin.
And the fact that you willingly submit to be a tool. And these days it is the wedge, the simplest of tools that is needed and used by the corrupt shenanigans of the coporate controlled interests. Happy soldiering moron!
As true as being a tool may be, it's not in the context that you would think of. Also,
3. Calling people morons usualy reflects more on you than it does them.
1. They never said which army they were in.
2. They never said if they joined or were drafted.
1. U.S. Army
2. Joined - for some people it's one of the best options... experience plus money for college.
Well, you can certainly relate then, with having someone control when you eat, sleep, shit, and work (mostly the latter, I'm guessing). Applies more to basic than anything else, I suppose (I haven't been in the military, so I'm merely postulating). It's a voluntary sacrifice you make for the sake of having a disciplined army...but civilians should not be forced into that kind of rigid, Spartan heirarchy of nearly absolute submission to authority, and nor should you once you're out of the armed forces.
Thanks, that's pretty much the exact point I was trying to make. It's not as bad as most people would think, but it is bad. And for all you people out there that won't grab your balls and serve your country I don't want to hear it.
The attempt is what matters, at least to me. I currently am a member of the Army and it makes me realize that privacy is important to most people. Some people don't have a problem with people knowing just about everything about them (small towns), but people like me and alot more hate having a roommate and our whole life being watched. When I get out, it will be like heaven for me for that reason.
p.s. other than that it's not a bad job
