    I have seen an spanish documentary about pot addiction, every one of the addicts tha have been able to leave pot say that they dont agree with legalization, weird if you ask me.

    On the other hand, what causes more trouble is corruption, Im pretty sure that without so much corrupt people we would not have that much drug traffic/consumption.

    Anyway, being realistic, I do support legallization, but I kind of worry about my society, I'm not sure we would be actually better.

    Of course I think alcohol is really bad, didnt you read the last paragraph? Im all for banning even tobacco, look how much it costs to the society that little recreation drug, and Im not talkin about money

    I have seen a pot addict tell a new pot user that he has a gift by allucinating with pot, and that he should embrace it, litteral, what about "seeing music"? A lot of people have told me that experience with pot

    Tell that to kids born from addicts, it is not funny, talk to any and see ( if you dont know already ) send me an email (@gmail.com) if you are honestly interested on getting facts not just the addicted's side of the story

    And we could do a pre-emptive prescription of LSD to everybody, since it is not addictive at all,

    That doesnt make smoking pot a good idea.

  8. Re:It's not at all addictive on The White House Responds To We the People Petition · · Score: 0

    My only rationale for this is that alcohol and tobacco dont have strong mental effects except, they dont make people allucinate, I've never hear an alcoholic tell me he sees stones talkin, or tha he can see the music.

    Then again, I would control even alcohol an tobacco, the money/time/emmotions it cost to society to deal with those addictions is totally worth the call.

    I have asked about this to friends, some say they dont have any problem quiting pot, but there was one case, pregnancy quiting, that girl would talk about pot months after quiting and still tell me "lets change subject, I feel sick talking about pot", so I dont know if this is something some people develop, or the other guys are lying

  10. Re:Support them from your own money on How Can I Justify Using Red Hat When CentOS Exists? · · Score: 1

    I've been working with redhat servers more than 6 years in a row and haven't called once to support, I think my current employer has called for some driver bugs, but I have never seen someone call redhat for any kind of sysadmin support.

    Disclaimer, I have the old RHCE cert, but have been on small places and really big places ( ok, just one) and no calling redhat for support at all on any of them

  13. Re:Performance on Early Speed Tests For Windows 8 · · Score: 0

    It gets slower very predictably with more things running, and is trivial to stop things you dont need to recover the speed you had at install time.

    That is the difference, windows can recover some speed by stoping anti virus, but we know where are we going by that

    Believe me, if linux went slow with time I and a lot of people would not be happy using it, then agan, I'm a sysadmin, so I know what to do to keep linux working at decent peace.

  15. Re:gave my life direction on Dennis Ritchie, Creator of C Programming Language, Passed Away · · Score: 0

    I read that book for the first time when I was 25, but started copying code around my 6yo, so almost 20 years later I was trying to learn C, pretty much I think that is the main reason I am a sysadmin and not developer, I always wanted to be better at coding, but went thru a very different academic path, I should have met Ritchie's work much sooner

    Hope to actually met that guy later, have a nice trip

  17. My guess is on The Cult of DevOps · · Score: 0

    From what I've seen (I work as sysadmin), that most of the problems are caused by the rotation of people, companies are not willing to give value to experience, and always want to make a new bet, switching contractors, giving emplooyees management positions and letting total noobs do all the jobs that actually matter (but is not visible?).

    As soon as someone has the right skills and internal knowledge, he deserves a better wage, but only a tiny fraction actually make it there, it has been posted here, rotation is the only way to improve salary, and people are willing to pay twice as much for contractors than for employees
