Well I take mine out about once a day (I don't strap the holster to me with the gun in it), and that's enough to cause considerable holster wear within a few weeks/months. However, I would guess that you don't really need to take it out at all to cause holster wear. Firearms tend to move a little bit in a holster, especially if Kydex is involved.
There's a rather big difference between attempting to block porn and attempting to block a portion of a movie collection. Most likely the OP just doesn't want his kid stumbling across something that he wouldn't have seen, if it weren't for the XBMC library. If that's the case, the child is probably too young to be interested in seeking out porn.
True. I misspoke a bit (I forgot that Canonical no longer sponsors Kubuntu). However, to an extent their chain can still get yanked a bit by Canonical: the base system is still Ubuntu.
The vast majority of Ubuntu's "infrastructure" is really Debian infrastructure. Other than not having PPA's, Debian Testing running KDE is very similar to Kubuntu, only without the large corporation pulling the strings. Oh yeah, and it doesn't randomly stop working when you upgrade kernels. I wish the same could be said for Ubuntu.
Indeed. For a desktop, Debian Testing is hard to beat. Sure, it requires a little bit more time to setup than Ubuntu or Mint, but it's a much more free OS. It doesn't try to lock you into anything and its goal is not to make money.:)
Oh yeah and for a server, Debian Stable is *very* hard to beat
Hmm, I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic. In case you are being serious:
When packages integrated seamlessly into my system, as they do with Debian, I spend far less time configuring both the package and my environment to run the package, and thus more time doing what I want to do. While installing things like Lighttpd via Mac Ports is far from challenging, significantly more time is required when one must constantly reload the config file/restart the daemon. (Yes, it may seem negligible, but it all adds up.)
Backups are great. Unfortunately, it is very easy to backup bit rotted data. A pressed CD that is well taken care of is one of the longest lasting storage media available today and unless you're performing checksums on all of your backups, it is simply a matter of time before you will lose something.
Unfortunately, Mac Ports doesn't touch a Debian system as far as ease of installation and integration. A few minutes of programming on my Mac and I'm missing my Debian desktop.
It wasn't that long ago that the majority of the time, the accused was simply told to not leave town until trial. At least in the US, the notion that one gets sent straight to jail during the "interim", is quite new.
Disagree. I get about 3 day's worth of battery life on my iPhone 4. Texting, some phone calls, e-mail notifications. I've actually been quite pleased with the iPhone battery life, considering it being a smart phone and all. Also, I've had no issues with my charger, which is rather surprising considering that it got kinked pretty good right out of the gate.
Am I the only one who actually goes to Blockbuster since their price restructuring? Perhaps it's because they're located literally right down the road from me, but older releases are $.99/night, as opposed to Red Box's $1.20. They have a bigger selection. And I don't have to wait out in the rain while someone ahead of me takes forever to pick out their movie from Red Box.
Perhaps $1/night rentals would be a good way to go, if the store owner hasn't done that already. Oh, and find a good nerd or group of nerds to invest in to automate as much as you can. Maybe find creative ways to list inventory online and/or on mobile devices. I realize this may not be worth the investment, but that's for the owner to decided.:) It's just an idea.
Kwin performs great assuming you don't use any window decorations with shadows or transparency. Doesn't miss a beat, even when running open source radeon drivers, animation-wise. As for general performance, I've never noticed an issue. Everything is quite snappy.
I agree, we work to live. But I think perhaps you've been making mistakes, such as informing your employer that you can automate tasks to save time. Just use it to your advantage so you can be lazy. http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/07/lazy-sysadmin/:-D
The one thing I have noticed in companies that Sales weasels get paid a lot more money than I and the responsibility lies on the network admin to keep it all running.
Yes. It's a backwards society. Black is white. 2+2=5.
But the sysadmin's job is to support the code and OS, not figure out what is wrong with the code when things break.
Strawman's argument. The article clearly is talking about using programming/scripts to facilitate the system administration jobs, which is a no brainer. It does not say to be a developer and hack in some change to a large app to fix an issue. Or perhaps I missed that part?

Make all the robots run the same direction. It should act like a hamster in its wheel.

Go go, Jury nullification.
Throwing C++ into the same category as C is a bit retarded, is it not?

Yes, but a well preserved audio CD will not all of a sudden fail to play. The same can't necessarily be said for the rotting bits. :D
50 years from now, I'd take my chances with the pressed audio CD, not with the last of the hard disks in the chain of a long series of backups.

Ewww.. SuSE... But yes, KDE 4.8+ is very good. I do prefer the Debian flavor, myself. :)

Also, a quick glance at the death tolls of each nation can be quite handy in identifying who the aggressor is.

I think you missed the point. The coding helps save you time in the long run. Not the other way around.

Isn't this all rather self evident?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the article is about "pushing home users toward subscriptions".
Here's the thing: LibreOffice is by far best when you use its native formats. Weird, huh?
