    Yup, the incentive is... stay in the USA or you cant operate.

    Where have you been for the past 9 years? Our government has wiretapped everyone, illegally, yet legally, put scanners in airports that show off everything, or you get a "friendly" pat down, tapped our ISPs to track everything, and yet you think the law still somehow applies to vaguely written laws?
    Believe me, interpretation is key in law and this one is not specific enough.

    Although I wish differently, this is correct.
    It is interesting to note how many people are apathetic to anothers plight until they have knowledge of a person that they are close to in that same plight.
    While it is true we can not fix the world, we can at least listen and give voice to our opposition.
    Unfortunately, even those that speak of these incidents are also under attack, labeled as "liberal" or "democrat" which somehow translates to "Commies".
    Brain washed masses indeed.

    Right, and that is how he delivers. It is a good satire, the only flaw to it is that people believe it to be legitimate.

    Yeah, his interviews are based on the premise that counter argument, regardless how "out of the box" it is, can logically be right if you forget all the facts.
    Thus the interviewer is always right, and the interviewee (the person with knowledge on the subject) is always wrong.

  11. Re:Well... on Disempowering the Singular Sysadmin? · · Score: 1

    I disagree with that method as login names are a way to "account" for who did what.
    So if so and so did this on this day, how will you know with a universal name? There is no accountability.
    Instead, I give people specific access where as I am the "super admin" in this case, however they do have access to "administrator" if they ever need it due to my untimely death or incapacitation of course.
    But there is a strict rule that Administrator is never to be logged into or used. This way, the account itself can be monitored for activity.
    However, I do agree that decentralizing roles helps in many ways. It helps the company, it helps you, and it helps your co-workers.
    Some may see de-centralization as a bad thing. Sure you make yourself irreplaceable, but you also make yourself ineligible for promotion. Besides, don't you want to go on vacation?

    Agreed, talk about stifling creativity and inventions.

    Yeah... why should I invent anything unless I am hourly?

  18. Re:Hypothetical Article on The Animal World Has Its Junkies, Too · · Score: 1

    I agree, taking drugs that damage the brain and body to "enhance" ones imagination is OOOHHH so worth it.
    But to assume I havent taken any drugs is pretty dumb.
    However, realizing the harm drugs do to ones self to simply "enlighten myself to a higher state of being" is much more enlightening.
    THe reality is that people take drugs to escape. Escape life, escape pain, escape not understanding. Once you know thyself, know thy neighbor, and know thy pain you have reached the real enlightenment that is life.
    NOTE: This does not require religion if that is what you are thinking. It just requires reflection and courage to face your fears and woes.

    Nope, neither. I am neither religious nor do I wish to separate humans from animals. My point is that it is not a scientific article, and thus is pointless unless backed by scientific data. Citation might be a good start.
    I mean, I can theorize that clowns do more harm than good because children develop a phobia of people who mask themselves in makeup causing them to not like women and thus cause domestic violence.
    Plausable, but where is the proof?

    It is sad to see it posted. I see nothing but hear-say and conjecture.
    Nothing in it is actual scientific evidence of these happenings except vague references.
    I question what this articles intention is except to perhaps attempt to make a case for drugs, which almost seems like a drug addicts logical reasoning after being blitzed on weed and watching a "National Geographic" documentary on something.
