    What the hell is wrong with you?

    I got back from Iraq to find my school district didn't have to save my job for me. Sad face, kept applying till I found something else. Are YOU still mopey over your rejections all these years later?

    There REALLY are people out there, receiving "free money" and just shifting their priorities to accommodate it. As in, why should I have to buy my own food, medical care, or education when I've got the Democrat Party paying for it. I can use my money for fun, use YOUR money for needs. I know some of these people first hand. Receiving thousands of dollars a month to make ends meet, but they just HAVE to have that cable tv package, nicest smartphone, and hundred-dollar-a-month data plan.

    And we've got you guys, spearheading the socialist revolution, arguing that "rich people" are the problem. As if it is the "poor peoples" Marx-givien right to have nice stuff that other people pay for. And we have a whole political party to cater to that line of thought. The number of people who want free shit seem to outnumber the people who want liberty.

    Hobo... that's a funny one. If "A Number 1" and "Cigarette" stab you, it probably won't be politically motivated, As far as the homeless are concerned, they REALLY are more likely to stab you for money.

    You and your socialist goons can cry all you want, mod me flamebait because you disagree. It's all good bro.

    The USPS should be responsible for paying the pensions their Union and their management agreed upon.

    Why should the tax payer be on the hook for that? If the USPS was solvent EXCEPT for accounting for benefits, then it was NEVER solvent.

    It's like you guys expect everything to be taken care of for you by some benevolent dictator. If only the government had all the power, then they could fix EVERYTHING for you! Free stuff! No worries. Just smokin weed and waiting for my government check... Wearing my Che shirt, drinking hipster coffee, posting some pro-regime shit on Huffington Pravda, yeah.

    Did you just fucking say that?

    That the USPS cannot operated on its own proceeds is an example why you can't be a "quasi-governmental" monster with a union workforce while pretending to be a business with arrest powers, not an example of secret corruption and money in politics.

    Our government spends the plurality of it's funds (taxed and borrowed) to buy votes from an increasingly dependent population. Sorry if there's not enough left over to fund the USPS when it can't balance its checkbook.

  15. Re:What is openstack? on OpenStack Board Member Says Adding VMware Was a Mistake · · Score: 1

    If you've spent any time banging your head against the our-company-wants-you-to-implement-virtualization wall, you are likely to come across terms like Xen, Xenserver, KVM, VMWare, CloudStack, OpenStack, Eucalyptus, DRBD, HV vs PV, and so on.

    Since OpenStack is a abstraction of lower-levels of actual hypervisors and hypervisor managment suites, it's not that unreasonable to expect that you shouldn't really be looking into OpenStack unless you already have an idea of what it is for.

    From the Q&A on the website:
    Who is the audience for this?
    Institutions and service providers with physical hardware that they'd like to use for large-scale cloud deployments. In addition, companies who have specific requirements which prevent them from running in a public cloud.

    OpenStack is probably not something that the average business would consider deploying themselves yet. The big news for end customers is the potential for a halo effect of providers adopting an open and standard cloud: easy migration, cloud-bursting, better security audits, and a large ecosystem of compatible tools and services that work across cloud providers.

    Isn't it odd that in some places, to be considered for a job, you have to join a club that supports political causes you might not support? And everyone just thinks that's ok?

    The problem with teachers unions is that they can wrap their labor concerns (fair enough) in a think-of-the-children argument (dirty).

    The problem with public sector unions is that the tax payers are continuously extorted for more money, as if the public was simply there as a method to fund however many government payrolls the government employees feel like having.

    SIS2000 is pretty good and open-ended. Our district only ditched it because the teachers union wanted Powerschool back. Primarily because it had an Apple logo on it, and teachers being left-wing socialists, they naturally loved that.

    Oh, and the pricetag. If you don't agree with spending over 1 million dollars on Powerschool it's obviously because you hate children.
