    You're correct.

    Software development is a part of IT. It's not "IT".

    It's just being more specific.

    Kinda like pointing at a Subaru WRX and saying "that's an automobile". While technically correct, it's not descriptive.

    (Pet Peeve of mine, sorry)

    No he's wrong, if he considers "IT" to be software development. It's not.

    It's software development.

    While I agree with you, apparently a lot of people out there are still scared to death. It doesn't matter that you can hit them with facts and statistics until you're blue in the face, they apparently "need" for the government to look like it's doing something to solve the issue.

    That's why I say it's a need.

    The sheep are still scared, over something that happened almost 10 years ago.

    Tragic.

    The need for this just appalls me. Hate it. It's amazing what a small group of "dedicated" people can do with a few airplanes.

    I feel horribly for the loss of life, but I can't imagine those terrorists ever expected it to get this far.

    Stupid.

  8. Unfortunately, his record fell 38 minutes later... on Pedro Matias Sets New Texting Record At Mobile World Cup · · Score: 2, Funny

    His record sadly fell 38 minutes later when 13 year old Samantha Johnson entered the competition.

    "Yeah, I was nervous entering the "Open" division, but my 10 year old brother competed in it last year and won, so I had confidence. The thing I'm the most proud of is winning the 12-14 age group, as everyone knows that's the toughest division to win." Before departing, Ms Johnson added "Old folks fail, amirite?"

    Back to you, Jeff.

    And you know how the government hates enablers.

  16. Re:Hire someone who knows what they are doing. on Powerful Linux ISP Router Distribution? · · Score: 2, Funny

    The fact that you are asking on slashdot shows that you are not qualified, and what you're going to get back is a bunch of others, who aren't qualified, suggesting all sorts of half assed hacks to do it which will just result in a utterly shitty service overall.

    Dude, don't shit on a well-known slashdot tradition! How dare you!

    Why do I put a comma before the and in a list?

    I would say "I have a cat, a dog, and two goats."

    But you would say "I have a cat, a dog and two goats." (Then you'd bugger the goats, but that's how you roll.)

    The English language is so damned weird...but AC is right, illegal use of commas. That's a 15 karma penalty. 1st down.

    It's time, my friends:

    10 years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as hackers of fortune. If you have a problem with crackers, if no one else can help track them down, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The G-Team.

    the same can be said for the other side of the argument too. Unless you have clear proof there isn't life out there, that's only wishful thinking.
