    I hear ya. All what you said rings true. If you had kids, it would be different. When my nephews stopped getting up at 7am and we could get up at 10am for the Christmas morning unwrapping, things got better. With Black Friday and Christmas shopping happening mostly online, the store part is mostly gone, too. Fuck Christmas songs. *hand motioning suicide* You just need a Christmas beej to get your spirit in the mood. And a Christmas bonus would probably go down well with you, too.

    Everything in the Bible is literal until shown to be false and then it becomes a symbol and not meant literally. I went to a Catholic high school and was told Genesis was just a symbol and nobody believed it was literal. I said, that doesn't sound right, I've seen lots of references that they really believe this to the exact words. I looked up a stat, and in something like in 1950 USA, over 55% of Catholics still believed Genesis was factual, not a symbol. This dropped over the next decades, but they were still peddling this shit in the 20th century with nuns often quoting Genesis as they beat or abused you. Somewhere between ages 5-8, I can recall being in church thinking, "this is more made up than the fairy tales I read going to bed". It still surprises me smart people buy this shit, knowing it's not true, my only way to rationalize it is by assuming they were brainwashed as a child and it's engraved in their brains. In school, when playing that game where you whisper in an ear and pass the secret around until it gets to the end and nowhere resembles the input? Yeah, try that over hundreds of years by people where literacy was less than 4% and most likely were never there. And you're going to take the literal word by someone trying to hype something that they have an interest in? Nope, too much bullshit.

Non Jews can convert to Judaism, not convert to being a Jew. Others, correct me if I'm wrong on the difference.

  25. Re: Cloud computing ... on Ask Slashdot: Biggest IT Management Mistakes? · · Score: 1

    So, no clarification as to what I understood was wrong? Did I misread what you said? Like maybe your reply could have went like, "No, I just left out details, I definitely told them there'd be unforeseen random downtime due to various reasons and everyone in the office will be standing around doing nothing and we're at the mercy of the cloud service's support people to get us back up". My old CEO was a cheap fuck, but he understood that things go down and business needs to continue and spent money as needed on redundant systems, UPS power, backup generators, Air Conditioning, etc. Generally, a day of downtime can erode all cost savings of switching backend servers or pay for the redundancy requirements to improve on site failures. I suppose I should appreciate the way he'd step in when shit went down to ensure the resources were there to help IT get sales, support and shipping up and running again. And when crisis is over, there's a meeting to put in place things to prevent that emergency, or to help reduce downtime if it's inevitable to happen again (ie, power outages, flood warnings, etc). You took my reply as an insult, but based on my understanding from your post, it wasn't clear your non-technical boss was fully informed of the consequences of the decision (my nearest Seattle datacenter is 12ms round trip and that's fuck all, so I'm like 'yeah so what's your point?'). You may feel you really did inform the boss with left out details from your post. Only you can say. In the Neighbors 2 movie, the real estate agent is asking them if they know what "escrow" means because she said it a bunch of times and they nod their heads like they understand, but shit happens and they never understood what escrow actually meant and hilarity ensues. If the real estate agent spelled it out clearly, there'd be no movie, just like you might have avoided this debacle in the first place. p.s. I apologize if this gets posted as a wall of text, it appears with white space and paragraphs when I submit it.
