Power leads to abuse and small abuses that aren't challenged, pave the way for larger abuse. In some sense I think it is almost innocent on the part of those with power. But say you have a system or a society that is tolerant of such things, and then a real crazy comes along. It then becomes a platform for him to go way beyond what he could otherwise do, because the infrastructure of control is already in place.. So we are just waiting for the special someone, maybe a good "Christian" to come along..
Well said. So my freedom is worth less than yours. That sums up the language laws quiet well. I am less free, because you want to keep your "culture" I never have understood what that culture is actuality. The culture of whining and demanding your rights, no matter the effect on others? Those laws start with the idea that the English are out to get the "French" when the people of France can barely understand Quebecois. So who are the French of Quebec and why do they have more rights that other people?
BS.. It is allowed to stand because the people of Quebec wish it. You can compare paper or compare reality. In the US, in the same situation we would just find a way to change the law to suit. So staying there is some kind of static difference really isn't accurate. I think the language laws are a massive affront to freedom, but then I don't live in Quebec, for damn good reason!
Many people have seen this coming for a while, but no idea how anyone can stop it. Your points on the corp being a part of our country and community with social responsibly is the major one and I don't hear it mentioned enough. You often read history books about nationalizing starting wars, but I almost think a war would be better than this decades long atrophy of conscience and will. The dreams seem all gone, with only money or its lack to replace it and the closest thing we have to dreamers now are insane religious zealots.
How the bloody fuck does a skill deprecate? Maybe a tiny portion of what I learned 10 years ago isn't relevant any longer, but I was just quoting a bit of info about AS/400 stuff I learned years ago with a management type on how to deal with their database group. I really have no idea what a skill is anymore if there is any way to make that statement make any sense.
How many files can you have in a dir? It might not be an issue now but with ext2 there was a limit, and reaching it did very bad things. I ran into that at the 65K files mark one time and you can't even delete things like normal because you can't access the files you want to remove. You can save new emails, and so your mail server has nowhere to store anything.
As always the hybrid of a few table/files mixed with a DB like access will work better for many more files. That is why I can have 60million records in my db and not care about file system issues like the above. Who came up with one file per email anyway? Why is it all your eggs in one basket or else one big giant basket? Email is old, that is why. And people keep making the same stupid mistakes with it over and over, because there are still lots of howtos doing it wrong or "good enough" for now.
At least one person here has a clue. When you get into man G's of email, one email per file starts to not scale very well. Great for a years worth of data, but what if you have 10 like me? Some suggestions on things like DBmail start to come in then. I don't know wth bitrot is, but I think in general that is what backups are for and couldn't easier with a DB.
Yeah, just like our highways, sewers, fire, police. What is up with all of these deficit building *socialist* enterprises? What waste? And why would we ever want to use the most efficient means of transportation for bulk travel? All of this deficit BS is just a way of saying lets not invest in our country, let it fall... Oh but how can we start a new war?! That is good for Halliburton so it must be good for the U.S.A.
THE WORD IS COMMUNITY and unless we start thinking about the betterment of our own communities(not just your town, but also your state and country and even world), the more into the pit we go.
Very good point. A lot of those classics are very hard reading for someone with little life experience. But then 20 years later they are accessible. It seems obvious to me now, but when I was reading some of these in high school, I just thought I was stupid for not understanding the more subtle points. Now I can read stuff like that and bitch at the author for being an ass and have a good reason:)
Or so I thought! I looked up the place I used to go in St. Louis and it still exists! Same ownership and all. The only thing they don't carry any longer is chemicals which used to be a big thing, both sets, glassware and chemicals. Other than that they are pretty much the same. They are not much on the Internet yet though, kind of sad website:)

Is it a waste of time to try without the drug first? If you say yes, then you must think we don't have any real control over our own actions. Why learn to filter out the tank creatures when you can drain out the whole thing? Because that tank, that seeming random mess, *channeled by discipline*, is what makes great leaps. If you take a drug and learn no discipline then what may you be missing? How do you meditate if you take away the random thoughts to let pass by and be at peace with?
I remember the "Hobby Shop" from when I was a kid where you could buy models of all sorts, balsa and bass wood, paint, glue, model rocket kits, rocket engines, trains, chemistry and electronic sets. All in one basement store in a strip mall and there wasn't any baby Einstein crap connected to any of it. This is just the kind of stuff kids are suppose to do! No video game has ever come close to as much fun as making a total mess of the 3 D-engine paper roll rocket that a friend and I made one afternoon and that still went up 50 feet in spite of being way heavy and only one of the three engines firing even though we did wire them properly(maybe too little current it wasn't like we had an electronic controller). We did at least do a rough guess on center of pressure and center of gravity and got it right so it flew straight up. But anyway stuff like that and endless fun with the Chemistry set and Microscope, looking at your own blood and everything you can find. BUGS!!!! What soul sucking crap we have now if video games and toys with their own story lines are all we give kids now. My wife and I are trying very hard to have kids and I swear they will get every chance to blow up, burn or get in trouble that I can provide them. Nature is just too cool to overlook wtf is wrong with people?
Slashdot Mirror
Fox News, on Slashdot, I think I will puke.
Yes, the iphone was invented in 1967..

These are not the droids you are looking for.. YES SIR!! btw Sir, who are we calling terrorists today?
So where is the link to the full text of the original? IS this Slashdot or f'ing CNN?
In NB, unless I speak French I can't even get a job here, but I bet you could. So yes, I have fewer rights than you do.

good point and I hope you are correct. The white needs the black. I just hope this dark age isn't going to last us hundreds of years.

Why the hell is this modded funny? Anyone with Parkinson's here?
Just Amen...

ok then 4 years ago. Like the instant it became possible. What a prick.
Agreed. There is just NO freaking way there is not prior art on this. People have done this and got bored with it 2 years ago or more.
Is that my (late)dog communicates to me through my coffee maker. What flaming BS..
Playing around and breaking the law are two different things.
Not on a good day.
