    you're wrong. mainstream educated, left brained sheeple, flock to windows exactly because they think linearly, they don't see the big picture, and they can't abstract in their head. same damn people who can't imagine the file system as a tree. they need forward and backward buttons. it's the CLI people who are right brained, see the big picture, can think visually and abstractly, are able to NOT memorize minutia for precisely those reasons. visual thinkers don't need crudely drawn GUIs. it's the overly left brained with stunted imaginations that need the clickity click click bobby anti-septic shock go babooom!!! sad thing is, once you get good at the command line, you tend to understand much more closely how programmers think, then if we NEED to use a gui, we usually use them better then the gui people.

    shred works just fine on ext3 (and probably ext4)

    from the link you posted:

    In the case of ext3 file systems, the above disclaimer applies only in data=journal mode, which journals file data in addition to just metadata. In both the data=ordered (default) and data=writeback modes, shred works as usual. Ext3 journaling modes can be changed by adding the data=something option to the mount options for a particular file system in the /etc/fstab file, as documented in the mount man page.

    I've read that ext4 works the same way, but cannot find an authoritative link at the moment.

    When you say "Nazi's are not nice people", why don't you just be more specific? Say "the leadership were not nice people", or say "most members of the Nazi Party, were not nice people", or say "most of the population of Nazi Germany were not nice people" Generalizing communicates very little real info. If your characterization of Nazi's was aimed at the leadership and a small percentage of subordinates, and that they were vile disgusting human beings because they thought that mass murder was a solution ...then I totally agree. If on the other hand, you were describing 90% of the population, I'd have to disagree. If someone thinks most home schoolers are backwards, socially inept, racist elitists ...I'm going to question that generalization. I wasn't home schooled, but I know a number of families that home school. I also personally know hard left leaning families. They are good people too, despite what Fox News might have some believe. Someone wants to prove that a whole swathe of people are "bad people", they'll have to do better then bring up the Nazi's every time.

    ...well. I think I had a subtle point in there, but too subtle. So here's what I'm getting at: Many slashdotters create caricatures of groups, call it identity politics, call it condemnation/praise by association, call it whatever, it's wrong.

    If I describe people who vote Democratic as socialistic, tree-spiking, magic crystal wearing, bootlickers ...and at the same time, I don't know any people who vote Democratic, I'm really painting a false picture based on my imagination, perhaps inpsired by foxnews, colored by ignorance, or a variety of other things. And of course, it would be wrong.

    I happen to think that my friends, family and associates, are quite diverse. They all appear to be thoughtful well adjusted people. Some are apolitical, some are heavy left leaning, some are heavy right leaning, some are country folk, some urban to the bone. The differences extend to the cultural and economic levels as well. And while all can be ignorant at times, and make mistakes, by and large, most make reasonable real life choices.

    I wonder how many real home schoolers the GP actually knows? It seems that he has fallen into the trap of figuring out people via MSNBC or FOX. Whole swathes of people.

    The media and politics in general have convinced large parts of the population that half the citizens are morons, intent on destroying the country, and that the other half are saints. Which half is which, depends on which part of the media spectrum you regularly digest.

    The GP not only learns to view/discuss people/groups in that manner, he perpetuates/teaches others to view people and groups in that manner.

    The only home schooled idiots I know are the one's that own several acres of land, run their own businesses, execute complex options spreads, and have converted some of their fleet to vegetable waste oil, or natural gas.

    One idiot home schooler that I know and I'm very close friends with, is homeschooling his son. His son is a grade 1 highland pipes piper, has already clep'd out of half his first year of college courses. And he's only 16.

    Your very own bias blinds you MSNBC's bias. You can't see it, even if you tried. The bias is built into your personality, your world view ...as for laziness, that's yet another your evaluations based on what, a guess? I've spent more time evaluating various information sources then I should have. Time taken away from family and friends, and more important endeavors.

    You're saying "they can't possibly be equally biased" ...with the tone as if you had some kind of workable metric.

    I'm telling you, they are equally bad. Take someone who isn't biased and have them come up with a dozen metrics, and Fox will do worse in some, and MSNBC will do worse in some.

    Let's even pretend that MSNBC is less shitty then Fox. I'll even give you that it's 15 PERCENT less shitty.

    It's still mostly shit.

    But hey, don't let me take your idiot box away from you.

    I like Joe. But I won't watch MSNBC, or FOX. I catch a few clips on youtube of Joe and Andrew Napolitano. So what's your point? That MSNBC is fair and balanced? Are we going down that road again? The mainstream media is exactly the same as watching "wrestling" as a kid. It's entertainment. Exactly like TV wrestling from childhood. There are good guys and villains, you hate the villains. A very light sprinkling of facts, mixed in with a lot of acerbic wit, and emotionally satisfying melodrama. Your examples of Joe and Phil just underscore that TV Politics is all bullshit anyway, the talking heads on TV, and those who hold the strings behind the curtain ..they have far more in common with each other then they do with you or I. It keeps us distracted, and arguing with each other. People trying to tell me that MSNBC is a better source then FOX are delusion. They are both shit. But I'll leave you to argue with those who love Fox and hate MSNBC. I'm the minority here. Your real problem is not me. It's you, and your fox loving opposition.
