If you work in health care you don't have to stick sharp pencils in your eye. You can stick sharp pencils in other people's (stink) eyes.
I thought you said you were a misanthrope, but I find that suspicious. What are you going to do with a truck that's more fun than sticking things into the assholes of strangers?
IBM makes me work 60 hours a week. You see, my employment is contingent on something called utilization. My target and tenure is such that I can't meet my target unless I work 60 hours a week.
The utilization target is computed without taking into account vacations, holidays, and sick days. If I take all 3 weeks of vacation I've earned, then I won't make my utilization target, and I won't have a job.
It's time to fucking unionize the place. Or if that doesn't work, I'll just continue slacking for 60 hours a week. IBM gets an honest 30 hours out of me whether they know it or not. Fuck them.
Might also point out that the kernel driver maintainers have a standing offer: anybody who provides specs gets a free driver written, maintained, and kept in the kernel. Companies should be developing hardware specs and taking advantage of all that free development work.
Maybe what we should be doing isn't writing an NDIS wrapper for Linux, we need to write an NDIS wrapper for Windows. That way companies can provide the specs to the Linux team and then use the wrapper to drop them into Windows as they are written.
Clearly we have a long way to go before we have a planet sized computer. However, I know a website where we can find plenty of robots to complain about it.
As long as we're planning to distribute custom network drivers around the world to be installed everywhere, there's no reason why information can't be shared in a bittorrent sort of way.
IP address X doesn't support encryption? Well that's odd, because approximately 98% of other people who connect there report it DOES. Red flag.
They're going to have to intercept all traffic, or be detectable. And then they have to count on the owner of the IP address not doing his own checks on it. "That IP should be encrypted, but nobody's getting encryption on that IP. Uh oh."
Detecting man-in-the-middle attacks might actually be practical if everybody is sharing quality information about their connection. But of course, we have to protect the distribution of that data from attacks too...
The AIR FORCE is conStructing this HYPER sonic jet exploder thingy, with the help of JESUS, in order to fly at 10 times the speed of sound over countries where POOR people who HATE us live, in order to deliver with very high efficiency SWEETS and other confections which they need to live. They'll drop right out of the bom...CANDY bar bay. The Pentagon calls this the SNICKER candy bomb. At least they were snickering when they told the story to Fox News. Praise the lord
"Why yes, I HAVE been watching Fox news lately. How can you tell?"
Defensive driving is a part of driving as safely as you can. But you're confusing the judgement of risk with the actual activity of driving. If you had information that there were 3 drunk drivers on the same road as you, would you continue on your path or would you not drive at that time? Those drunks are violating the assumption that you have when you assess the risk of getting on the road.
you have made no such decision. if a driver got onto the road expecting no risk to their safety, or even your theoretical "minimum possible risk", they are deluded. no decision i can make (aside from deliberately trying to cause you harm) will make your trip any less safe than you should have expected it to be.
But, I didn't say that, did I?
sure, that's the distracted driver's fault, but it's also your own fault for insisting that your "grr! you've increased my risk, you have no right to do that!" mentality has any place on the real roads in the real world.
When another driver makes a decision that affects my safety, but DOES NOT INFORM ME of his decision, then how can this be my fault? Youre obnoxious libertarianism is just idiotic in a "road market" that doesn't offer information with which to make a rational decision.
You talk a lot, without trying to understand. I've explained myself, and you're arguing against me in ways which clearly indicate that you don't understand what I wrote. If you understand what I wrote, you would argue against what I said, rather than what you made up.

You snipped the part out where I said that I slack. Another job might actually make me work all the hours that I'm supposed to work.
I have an office with a door and a lock. Afternoon naps are my routine.

AHHHHH you must be a COBOL programmer.
Let's blow up parliament! Road trip to Ottawa! Wooo!
Shit, I have to get my passport renewed first.

It must be working because that Ikea shit is pretty nifty.
Look and feel lawsuit? Didn't they mostly fail about 20 years ago?
I never post as an AC. Why would I need to? Profane Muthafucka isn't exactly on my driver's license...

The B-2 is operated by the Air Force. Surely you must have been thinking of the Navy when you wrote that comment.

Libertarians should take up diving as a sport. And PLEASE leave your regulation of your air supply behind.
Recoverable, but suffering from bitrot.

Crimes of Passion? Hell yeah I'll permit it.
Instead of that, try making ReiserFS NOT a total piece of crap. It sucked, and it always has. Reiser was a huge abusive turd, and so are his fans.
Now THAT's how to start a flamewar. Amateur.
My daughter likes peanut butter, but not jelly. If you like jelly, just get in the back of the bus.
But seriously, this is fucking ridiculous. If a toddler doesn't like hot sauce, it doesn't mean they hate Cajuns.
I use salt made with recycled chlorine rather than the less environmentally friendly brand-new chlorine.
Some long tails don't even fit in any niche I've ever seen.
Good lord I had no idea there were so many traitors. AM Radio had better step up their game!
