    yes, all those crazy people ready to shoot, hiding under every rock.

    This is nothing more than an invitation to a witch hunt brought on by the ignorant.

    If you read the DSM, everyone has something that could possibly be conceived as mentally ill, only some are prosecuted for a small unrelated portion who commit crimes. The interpretations are often politicial.

    Don't agree with your boss, parents, school administrators politics, your crazy.

    Don't buy into the latest trend from big media? Crazy!

    save that in /etc/iptables/iptables.rules and /etc/ip6tables.rules

    iptables-restore /etc/network/iptables

    "This is just keeping in line with the new policy of letting private industry finance space endeavors. "
    I was unaware of any actually policy changes. Space flight works the same way it does in the 1960s.

    Private companies build space craft, NASA flies them. Same as it always was.

    The only difference is now its start ups like Space-X, and in previous years, it was politically connected defense contractors like boeing, lockeed martin, etc....

    Oh, and these new companies are far less politically connected and less tied to the defense sector. And none of them are repurposed ICBMs.

    Bad analogy.

    "I worked 60 hours a week to make cool stuff for you,"
    cool stuff? Before filesharing, hollywood was OK with really crap movies, the music industry, the same repetative shitty music, with these artists with outsized egos.

    Then comes down to $10 to see a movie, after being gouged with ridicolous snack prices, and yet somehow the rest of us who do real productive work are the problem, and not some asshole celebrities who make an easy 1/3-1/2 of the movie's production cost of over $100 million.

    Your on slashdot with a bunch of nerds. We made the technology that makes the internet go. You couldn't go five seconds without shit we made, I could go forever without seeing another MPAA movie, or listening to another shitty RIAA artist. Go a week without using Free software.

    Here is a hint, get the fuck off the internet, because not only do most webservers run linux, Windows uses the IP stack from BSD, and OSX uses the same stack, and goes further, using the same "networkmanager" program to manage internet, originally part of the gnome project written by Red Hat, licensed under the GPL.

    I could easily go without hearing britney spears or justin beaver.

    "Their delusional excuses make about as much sense as NAMBLA's and deep down they know that."
