  3. Re:Nope, this is very 2000s on Microsoft Aims To Cure Server-Hugging Engineers · · Score: 1

    I actually have a degree from Drexel in computer science.

    I work as a sysadmin.

    Why?

    I was working for companies which could afford to outsource and I got tired of the contract-to-contract life, or the developer-to-outsourced-labor life.

    They're going to have a hard time replacing the guy who installs and configures the OS, and more importantly get's the outsourced labors application running. Once I figured out the low quality crap was coming in from India and coming in by the boatload, I realized the sysadmin's niche was actually making it work.

    I've enjoyed a stable job ever since the lightbulb went on that the sysadmin is the broker of the applications.

    It appears neither side is able to decisively gain the upper hand, but one thing seems clear â" only full-time, for-profit professionals are able to consistently beat BD+.

    That's like saying "only government funded, for profit individuals have any hope of working on the space shuttle". But the space shuttle isn't represented in the majority of homes yet. Come back when enough people have BD+ to make it interesting.

    I dunno about your movie theaters but the ones around here are so strapped for cash that they couldn't be bothered to clean the lens on the projector or hire anyone with a clue to actually focus the thing. I would be lucky if I knew I was watching The 300 at all.

    I'm suprised you found a squatter stupid enough to put valid information into their registration.

  12. I ended up filing a case on Buying a Domain From a Cybersquatter · · Score: 3, Informative

    It doesn't matter if it's bad faith or not, ICANN wants the domain to have a useful purpose. That's why people put the "search engines" up. However, the likelyhood of them showing up to defend their useful purpose is slim to none. The problem you have is that in order to file with ICANN for ownership of a domain, you need about $3000.

    http://lmgtfy.com/?q=icann+domain+dispute&l=1

    Last time I had to do it, it took about a month. This was last year. We filled out the paperwork, then our "dispute agency" (ICANN itself delegates to an agency) contacted us for MORE paperwork, then the other guy didn't reply because he had used an "anonymous registrar" so we won by default.

    If you live in a world where everyone else has antivirus software, you're going to see a lot of viruses which evade antivirus software.

    Which is what we already see - the viruses don't magically go away when you install McAffee's trash on your system, they simply kill McAffee through zero day or through the users not knowing better than to say no and continue on their merry way with the AV "solution" blissfully unaware.

    "So fucking what" to slavery -- versus "so fucking what" to battling slavery, but not necessarily for the most altruistic reasons? Are you seriously still trying to make those two things the same? Alcohol is the same as no-alcohol?

    You're being intentionally intellectually dishonest. You know the correct analogy would be to say "I can't sell alcohol to you so I'm going to make sure no-one is buying alcohol anywhere else".

  24. Re:The "Anti Slave Ship" is worth about a klan hoo on Obamas Give Queen Elizabeth an iPod · · Score: 1

    Almost, but not quite. The British had been out of the slave business, but the slaves weren't fully freed in the states until 1865. So the question is why did Britian build an anti-slave ship? Was it because they felt bad and wanted to pour money into it?

    In 1783 the war of independence wrought control of America away from the Empire. The empire then wasn't getting any economic perks from slavery, and the states had pushed the empire out of the americas. The brits now had to fight a proxy war if they wanted any hope of making a second attempt at crushing the colonies.

    I think there's a reasonable argument here that if Britain couldn't enjoy the work of slaves, they weren't going to let anyone else do it either. That's why, in my opinion, the ship should be a slap in the face of Obama.
