Okay technically it was backdated so nobody celebrated it.
But yeah there was no year 0 and our year numbering system started in what we now call 525ce.
The wikipedia page shows how this century started at Jan 1st 2001 making the year 2000 part of the 19th century, so considering the year 1980 as part of the 70's as the OP did is at least sensible though odd as it would make 1970 NOT part of the 70's.
As I said, the argument could be made and refuting it is not immediately obvious so clearly it'll be a hit at parties.
Since you already bought the hardware, odds are you're going to run into driver issues. Since you're not already a *nix guy my suggestion is just run windows on your server. Next buy big fat USB enclosures, the kind that can hold DVD drives and put the drive sleds in there. Now you don't have to reboot adding the drives.
I agree completely. Jesus was poor, he said to give freely what you received free. Paul said that he stayed up half the night working so that the brothers wouldn't be paying him to preach.
A minister who works for a wage has a conflict of interest. Instead of teaching to live simple lives and not become fixated on material things he ends up encouraging many kids, starting up a family business and... don't forget the 10%! Now send all those kids to college, get them good jobs and... don't forget the 10%!
Worse, now it's no longer his aim to teach the truth or tell people what they need to hear. Instead he'll tell them whatever they want to hear or whatever will scare them enough to keep coming and dropping in the money.
Many may not agree with excommunication but it's a scriptural teaching designed to help an unrepentant sinner see the seriousness of their actions. But we can't let them stop giving us money... keep those pews full!
Do it all by private donation and put contribution boxes on the wall, if God doesn't want you to keep things running you'll find out soon enough.:-) [That's how mine does it]
At the densities of today's HDs bitrot is not a question of IF but WHEN.
Don't get a 4 drive drobo, they do NOT have scrubbing of data, but the 5 bay and up ones do. Without scrubbing once a bit flips your picture is ruined.
Whatever solution you go with, either the file system or the hardware needs to have data scrubbing built in.
I should have stuck a little (I disagree) after the quote. You're right that in general people may be that way but a certain percentage aren't.
Anyhow, some religious types believe that paradise is on earth and death is not their friend but the enemy. (1 Co. 15:26) No need to escape this life to have happiness in the next, happiness is right here.
but the primary thing used in the labeling today is how "poorly" your social development is.
That's too bad as it's simply another ruleset to learn and master. Some manage to pull it off quite well. For me the trick was realizing that people are more important than computers. I quit programming, got a "people" job and brute-forced my way to apparent neuro-typical behavior.
Bones and Big Bang Theory were quite therapeutic as well. "Stop acting like Sheldon"
I hate those montages they start doing on TV around a new year showing all the noteworthy things that happened during the previous year.
Or the ones where they play sappy music and show bits from a long running sitcom. They universally make me feel like I'm wasting my life away. Perhaps internally it's as if I'm saying "You watched 20 episodes of this crap??" "No I didn't! Honest it's just a montage!"
I've noticed that non-geeks seem to have a very difficult time separating facts from opinions or feelings. On the other hand those on the autism spectrum tend to have an internal citations list. I may still have many incorrect beliefs but I at least know where the ideas came from and can check the sources later on. Slowly weeding out the false ideas until all my knowledge is perfected. (OMG! I've turned into an Objectivist!) </sarcasm>
But if you're going to ask me T/F if say... Richard Simmons is dead; I simply can't answer true or false on that one. Show me a picture and... well that's not relevant to the question.
I've put Ubuntu on a few people's laptops when requested, they were sick of Windows and wanted a different OS.
All of them got killed by the software updates. It would inevitably happen that either the video card driver (binary blob) would no longer work when the kernel was updated or something weird like the trackpad would stop working after an update.
Dependency issues are a real problem. Sure I could google around and fix things from the command line but it's not ready for general public consumption unless it has a very well supported hardware configuration. Even thing some small package way down in the dependency chain can change an argument flag and screw up other things.
I played with the new MBP at the Apple store yesterday. Had the non-Retina Macbook right next to it. Both I put on full-screen mode with the same webpage loaded and quickly scrolled up and down at the same time.
Non-Retina had no noticeable lag. Retina clearly lagged. Anecdotal for sure, but has anyone tested the pixel response time on the new display? Or perhaps the fill-rate on the new card can't quite keep up with the older one with 1/4 the pixels to push?

You'd be surprised how often people ask that question about hearing aids. I can't speak for the OP but personally I picked up a radio station ONCE in my life while wearing hearing aids. They were the analog kind that are completely behind the ear... not a cochlear implant. Anyhow I was within a few hundred feet of the radio tower as I was playing in the park nearby. Could only pick it up near the edge of the park while standing on a dirt hill.
I think statistically you'll find more people who claim to have picked up radio on their fillings.
Maybe someone who knows this stuff can chime in. I've heard it said that since the Mayan calendar had no leap year it loses a day every 4 years. So if you add up all the missing leap years the end of the world would have came around the middle of 2011.
the genocides that came afterwards should play a stronger role in history courses
Let's not forget the genocides that occurred BEFORE the holocaust as well. After all it was the Armenian genocide that convinced Hitler the world simply wouldn't care if he killed millions of Jews.

You should watch the Tucker movie some time.
I wonder if the IQs actually dropped or if they remained stable as the non smoking group in the study improved.
What gets you a 100 IQ at 10 years old doesn't cut it when you're 15.

Since there was no year 0 the end of the first decade was at the start of 11ce.
Similar to how the 21st century started with 2011... I think I've found a great new way to annoy people. Thanks! :-)

I apologize, my response was unnecessarily rude.
You're right you totally know me better than I do, no logically fallacy there. A single post is all YOU need to diagnose someone.
Different, not better.

Job 2:4 "And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man has will he give for his life."
That people will allow others to die or suffer if it brings them security.
