  1. Re:Time to realize the world doesn't care. on President Defends Global Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    Why should we Americans foot the bill to keep other countries out of poverty? I am not an isolationist but I think that as Americans we should put America ahead of other countries. Quit trying to fix every other countries problems out there, and worry about our own. What I am saying is that we should tighten our borders, bring business back to America and provide for Americans, and not other countries. What we need is a Nationalist movement in this country.

  2. Re:Why mention intelligent design? on Viruses May be the Precursors of All Life · · Score: 1

    No I have not played it, but i will see about tring it out. "evolution is anti-religious to a lot of people because it means they aren't super-duper special in GOD's eyes. It means they weren't created in his/her/its image and we aren't the end all be all center of the entire reason for the universe existing. Basically they need something to make them feel special and evolution ruins that for a lot of people." I think you are correct in this statement, and I think it can be applied to both sides.

    You obviously did not read what I wrote. You are entitled to your thoughts and I mine. Um there is one small part that you left out. I attributed this flaw to both sides. Also I did not say you had to believe in a creator, just said that IMHO by not even giving any thought to it makes you closed minded. (Again this is for both parties; those who believe and those who do not. Also IMO it makes you a blind follower. Do not get me wrong I am not saying it means you are less; it is just me pointing out that that is what it is, and that I personally do not subscribe to that way of thinking.

    I personally do not see where evolution goes against religion or vice versa.
    To me if God has the power to create all; then it seems to me he also has the wisdom to build the laws, and very basics that the universe is driven with, and that also includes evolution.
    IMHO any one group who spits on the other is an idiot.
    We have such a short time on earth why not explore all ends instead of just a narrow path.
    Honestly it would not hurt to open your mind a little and try to see things from different points of view.
    Sadly most people do not understand one side or the other and those same people try to destroy what they do not understand.
    The way I look at it is if I am right Cool, if I am wrong, well it did not hurt anyone; if anything it made me a better person to be around.
    Though it is amazing both sides of this argument seem to have there fair share of the blind faithful who do not ask questions but instead just believe; being no different than the other.

  5. Re:Not new to me... teachers discovered! on Generic Passwords Expose Student Data · · Score: 1

    Not so much, but that is up to the school. It is there system so if they allow it then the teacher is doign what is allowed. The point is that it is there system they can read your stuff if they want to. Also it could have been set up so that the teachers have access to view what only the students are looking at. Then have all that stored into a single log that one person has access to. It really depends on how they have the system setup. Though something that import should be kept secure.

    The system does not belong to you. Therefore there is no privacy. As a sys admin I can tell you this, if it a school or companies systems they can view anything you do, and have full legal rights to do so. On the subject though, it is called a default password for a reason. Duh, the admin should have changed the freaking default password to begin with. I change out default system passwords where I work at least once a month. Of course I always get calls about someone can not access there stuff anymore, blah blah blah. So I assign them new passwords randomly generated, and every so often I change it for them and give them the new passwords. I do not do this (or have to do it) for all my clients on those who do not understand the concept of changing there freaking password. It is annoying some times, but the security of the system I was hired to over see is more important then my occasional discomfort.

  7. Re:Why is this "Your Rights Online"? on Novell Layoffs Coming This Month? · · Score: 1

    No it was in bad repair and the floor had been routed out. So my step father removed the routed wood. We had some boards that crossed the floor bracing to walk on. We lived there till the bath tub fell threw the bracing. ROFL my step dad was in there when it fell threw. I remember we did a lot of fishing and eating of crawfish. As a kid though to be honest I did not think anything of it. I moved when I was a kid to my fathers house and though we had better things we where not middle class much less rish, then I moved in with my mom after she left my step dad and we lived in some crappy apartments, I moved out when I was 15 and have been on my own ever sense.

    You honestly believe that you should be given a job, money and personal wealth.
    How about get up and work for it yourself.
    See that is the thing here in the US. If you do your homework you will see time after time that the wealthy and rich in our country also started out as poor people. (The Great American Dream) It is possible.
    Well maybe not for people who think they should be given the spoils of someone eles hard labor.
    If you are too lazy to get up and fight for it then you do not deserve it.
    (And do not lecture me about being poor. I lived in LA right outside a freaking swamp, in a trailer that had no floor, with a single room, and now I own my own 4 bed room house, car, and a fairly good job, and I was never given anything, I earned it, and you and everyone else should too.)
