"I haven't bothered to get myself a corporate edition of XP Pro to replace my regular retail version. What will happen if I swap motherboards?"
OK, you are lazy. XP has been a free download for a long time, including driver packs, from the usual sources. So has 7 with SLIC loaders which permanently bypass activation. It's easy to get "clean".isos of both.
I don't care for either. I'd rather run Free Linux than "free" Windows.
There still are not. That's why I support school vouchers and school choice, because while it will let many of the Christian Taliban segregate, that takes some of them out of public schools.
More importantly, it helps theism-free people send their kids to better schools, including out-of-state boarding schools.
Fine with me if the Poor White Trash want to stay ignorant, but better people should have a way to escape their clutches and get a quality secular education. Boarding schools are a way to escape the toxic average in this country.
I didn't have to go to school with Bubba and LaQueefa, and heartily encourage anyone who can rescue their kid from the public school and the PUBLIC in general to do so. Forcing people to associate with those of lesser intelligence and/or inferior belief systems is toxic, so do not do that and don't pretend we should be forced DOWN to the same level.
You work for evil cocksuckers, but need money. Astroturf on expendable accounts, while systematically and __untraceably__ documenting all the astroturfing you can find.
Leak the info at your convenience. You get paid, they get fucked, life is good. There is no moral obligation to companies which astroturf.
I don't find it ironic. If my job were industrial espionage I'd be all over the low-hanging fruit. Hormonal youth whose bullshit filters only work in ONE direction are vulnerable to "affirmation exploits".
I believe in "putting on your OPFOR hat" and considering what you'd do if you were the other guy/gal.
"Remember its a lot harder to recruit someone who just blindly accepts things at face value, easier when they begin to question why things are the way they are"
But harder yet again to recruit someone wise enough to trust NO ONE and to QUESTION EVERYTHING. "Lovely jaded cynicism" is HEALTHY. Innocence/ignorance is praised only because we are taught to admire it from a _religious_ perspective where being a chump is valued by mullahs (of whatever superstition). In other news, hyena value slow zebra...
If you wish to exploit the orthodox "blindly accepting" you can use what they blindly accept. If you appeal to the naive ignorant yearnings of youth, you use their need for affirmation by a "counter-culture" to exploit what they "blindly accept".
Leading by example implies a reason to FOLLOW the example.
Power is useful, nukes are useful, and if you have them it is illogical to renounce them unless you embrace abject submission to those who have them.
We are in peaceful times right now. The wars, such as they are, are tiny. MAD kept the peace for decades and prevented a Third World War. Just because the thought of nukes causes you anguish is not logical reason for the US to be rid of them.
To Be Discreet when you give The Talk. Everyone has some version. I've read the Final Call and am not offended even by the Farrakhan outlook!
It's taboo to note that (some) racist choices can be beneficial to the person making them.
Consider White Flight from Detroit. It was an unequivocally wise choice to bolt for the burbs. Staying would have been irrational. If we are "all interchangeable" then one group bolting for the exits shouldn't make a difference.
VM installs are terrific. Easy to restore from Snapshots, very quick to load additional machines for testing apps etc, and dandy for data rescue too.
For example, I needed to make a.pst from a.ost for a friend. Instead of tying up a PC, I loaded Office and the.ost recovery app I needed on an XP VM, did the deed, then reverted to a previous clean Snapshot. I also exported to Thunderbird Portable so he can use that too.
Didn't have to leave my recliner to do it, praise be to VirtualBox.
These things are cyclic. F-16s had their years of high accident rates too.
Without Navy and AF Class A Mishap stats handy there's no easy way to know the current attrition rate. They are normally on the web but I'm too lazy to Google at the moment.

"English, motherfucker! Do you speak it?"
More to the point, too much IRRELEVANT politics which are AMPLY covered ELSEWHERE polluting this site.
If it's MAINSTREAM, non-computer, non-science, non-nerd news it DOESN'T NEED to be here because posting it here is REDUNDANT.
MOD PARENT UP for truthiness!
"Watch as this comment goes to -1, while any comments that say it is slashdot-worthy get modded up."
It is Slashdot-worthy! Farkdot is no longer News For Nerds, it's Google News with a different interface.
Fuck it, have some Kardashians while we are at it:

Google News with a green and white interface!
Hooray.
Yes, we get general news online and there is no reason to put it here.
Who the fuck would miss this item if it were NOT on Slashdot?

I find it quaint that a rebellion was suppressed in a manner which left survivors. That's a genteel way of war, which spares enemy civilians.
There is a place for each sort or training. First responders read Dead Tree media too.
Want some "hand on" training that's repeatable? Check this out:

"Yes but the government is generally adverse to destroying the business model of a very profitable industry..."
True. Only in horror movies do puppets kill their masters.
Needn't be "kicks", and could be for profit.
I do all my pre-purchase research on the net then order from Newegg etc.
No problem, no waste of gas money and time driving to the store, no problem.
Unless and until Iranians are willing to apply the level of utter dedication and ruthless violence required, they will remain slaves.
The only good Mullah is a dead one. Persians should remember Islam was inflicted on them by conquest, and reject it.
Kill your Mullahs, burn the mosques, shit on the Quran and take back your country!
Tax compliance is in Federal interest, and with standard Free and Open software everyone could use the same application.

Nothing unusual, and done before every election.
I don't watch US TV and I DO live in the US.

Make it Closed, make money while building a base, then Open it later if you think fit.
