    I also think it is somewhat childish to start every application with a K...but hey.

    Yea and Microsoft should stop naming things like Windows DVD Maker, Windows Live Mail, and Windows Media Center.

    Wait.. whats your point again?

  2. Re:They deserve any late fees they get? on Computer Glitch Leaves Some Australians Without Cash · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This entire thread you've been racing to the defense of the banks. If I have money in the bank, and cannot use it due to a corrupted file on the bank's server or whatnot, THEN IT IS THE BANKS FAULT.

    Its that simple.

    Its not that I didn't have enough money, or that I didn't initiate the transfer. The bank fucked up. They sure as hell want to charge me for everything under the sun when I'm late. If they are late its their fucking fault, and I will pass the late fees on to them.

    Lol your funny. I'm the one who doesn't fuck with my cell while driving, while your running around trying to take pictures/video. Who do you think the better driver is?

    If you really want to take fucking video get a dash cam, make a dash cam, whatever. Dont fuck with your cell cause that makes you a fucking hypocrite.

    I hope if they arrest the asshole for texting that they arrest you for filming them while driving.

    Arrest them.

    Take the kid downtown, put him in a cell, call parents. If the parents act like asses press charges against the kid, if they dont and promise to take care of the issue let him out. Once little billys friends find out you get arrested for this, it wont happen anymore. If it does, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars. Press charges as a repeat offender and force the kid to spend a week in juvie. ( My little brother had to spend a week in juvie for something along these lines. It straightened him right out.)

    I'm glad we could find something to agree upon. Any harsh words I had earlier, I apologize for overreacting.

    This would be a better world if everyone (especially myself) can remember that there is always some common ground.

    What features does ZFS have that ext4 doesnt? Its a simple question, but you had to act like an ass. Good job.

    If I have a bicycle that I ride everywhere, and never seen nor heard of a car. I would not know what a car could do for me, would I? SO if someone comes along and says, Hey cars are cool, they are just a little more expensive. I would ask something like.. What features does a car have over a bicycle.

    Sure, and I could ride a bike too... Where do you live that offers bus service to a fucking farm, three hours away.

    This is ridiculous.. You cannot expect people to travel that far for work.. wtf are you guys smoking, cause you need to pass it this way.

    Lets take Atlanta for example, because I used to live there. A three hour bus trip (prob slower cause buses make lots of stops) would take you from Atlanta to Birmingham Alabama or Columbia South Carolina. Look at it on a fucking map.. its a ridiculous suggestion that someone do that daily for 8 dollars an hour.

    I wouldn't take that job, unless I planned to move. I also better be making a decent damn wage to move, 8 dollars an hour ain't gonna cut it.

    I was just pointing out how inane it is to suggest someone actually commute 3 hours to work on a farm.
