I'll allow yo to have the last post, whatever mental illness you're suffering from seems to require that you have it, so I'll be generous and ignore the fact that every single ridiculous attack you've attempted was squashed and your points were all totally refuted, which explains why you've stopped even attempting to disprove me.
"See, some of us are well adjusted enough not to need to go on the internet and aggressively defend our jobs, because we're capable of defining ourselves without them."
"So, what do you do for a living? Anything remotely useful or important, or is it your job to whine on Slashdot all day long?"
No, based on your overt defensiveness and total willingness to openly attack people, you seem to have taken that position on a volunteer basis.
As to what MY job is, instead how about what it's not? It's not a dick measuring contest, unlike yours apparently.
And honestly
"Senior System Administrator of New Mexico Child, youth and Family Development Department. I oversee 2,500 employees, with over 50 different servers under my direct control. I've got 24 IBM Blade servers running VMware, with Windows, Linux, and Novell Netware running under that. I've saved the state over $200,000 a year in licensing fees by moving from HPUX/Sybase to SLES/MySQL (It was MANAGEMENT! I wanted PostgreSQL!"
That describes a help desk job 100%, nice try dressing it up.

"I've found CompTIA certs a useful part of my portfolio of credentials"
Well, that's nice, but some of us don't think help desk jockey is a worthy career peak like you do.
Google has always appeared to me as a company that was moved by the vision of its founders. While the "do no evil" policy has been... flexible, there has always been a sort of philanthropic, "we get why you hate Microsoft, we want to be different" type of thing with Google.
I wonder how long that will last with the founder no longer in control.
"No - that part means that the US and the southern states have no requirements to pay back Confederate debts"
No, actually, you're totally wrong.
"And if it did"
It DOES.
The fact that you don't know that, and admit as much when you say "if it did" tells me you're relying on your READING of the wording, which means exactly fuck all since your reading of it sucks.
Hey, you're that loser who was completely wrong about Article 14, 4 and got pissed at me when I pointed out your ignorance.
Why are you at it again when it's been proven to you that you don't know a fucking thing about the Constitution and cry like a bitch when it's pointed out to you?
I mean seriously, I've proven yourself a total ignoramus on the subject, why are you embarrassing yourself by pretending your opinion on the subject isn't worthless?
And yet, you did nothing to prove it wrong or refute it apart form call names.
More to the point, you illiterate cunt, you ignored the part about congress, which is totally unrelated to YOUR taunt and COMPLETELY answers your question.
YOU'RE WRONG, eat my asshole while you cry about it bitch.
"But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States"
That answers your question clearly and totally, yet you seem to have missed it while simultaneously citing it.
Or, if you don't like a direct and obvious answer
"The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
Congress could cancel it.
You're right, you aren't a constitutional scholar.

"See, some of us are well adjusted enough not to need to go on the internet and aggressively defend our jobs, because we're capable of defining ourselves without them."
"Who is getting what now? "
You are getting defensive because slashdot informed you your certs area joke.
It's herein black and white, for everyone to see.
"And, by the way, it isn't an ad hominem if it is a) true and b) relevant
Yes it is, I've proven you wrong on this before.
"You call me a dick, I point out evidence of you being a douche"
No you didn't.
"and therefore, you are a hypocrite."
EVEN IF TRUE, how does ANY of that mean your 1)not a dick and 2) your certs aren't a joke?
See, we can all see it,you get facts you hate and attack the messenger.
Congratulations, you once again proved me right.
TY

Which just about proves my point in it's entirety.
"not to be a dick..."
TY
I always get a laugh at how crazy and defensive you get when you're obviously and irrefutably wrong and shown so,like you were here.
"Incorrect by what definition? The law"
FYP to make it sound less douchey and retarded.
And YES actually, and since those are the only whims that matter, the rest of your post is worthless.
You don't LIKE it? Fine.
That changes nothing, and doesn't make you less wrong.
"Not to be a dick"
Your defensiveness and pathetic attempts to turn this into a wikipedia article have made that an impossibility.
It's tremendously funny though, you genuinely think your "computer G.E.D" isn't a joke...
"I've found CompTIA certs a useful part of my portfolio of credentials" Well, that's nice, but some of us don't think help desk jockey is a worthy career peak like you do.
"Writing the checks never made anyone right and it still isn't relevant in this case."
You are indisputably wrong about every claim in that sentence.
"Now unless you have something helpful to say, I'd suggest you shut up."
Says the idiot AC who is claiming business ownership "isn't relevant".
Stop posting, even AC.
"Sony's idiotic business model has nothing at all to do with whether or not the PS3 is a computer."
And THAT has nothing at all to do with the point you responded to.
"I believe the general argument from this point would be:
Copyright isn't property or a contract"
And that argument would fail because it's fundamentally incorrect.
Google has always appeared to me as a company that was moved by the vision of its founders. While the "do no evil" policy has been... flexible, there has always been a sort of philanthropic, "we get why you hate Microsoft, we want to be different" type of thing with Google.

"VideoCD chose MPEG1... the format war is over.
DVD chose MPEG2... the format war is over.
Oh, wait. We can change CODECs every few years"
So you expectthe internet to be replaced by something new in the next few years?
Otherwise, your examples are useless and invalid.
LOL @ U
WTO membership limits US trade freedom in the same way speed limits "limit" the speed of the richest most powerful citizen in a small town.
Even if they get caught speeding, worst case is they just pay the fine and speed away...
How many of you know, specifically, your elected representatives' views on international trade?
And how many of you plan to claim you did, but really didn't,and had to look it up when I called you on it?
"but I can't be arsed to look up how exactly law is upheld in every country I make a comment on"
This guy essentially says "ah fuck it, I DON'T EVEN NEED TO ATTEMPT to be accurate" and he gets a +5 mod?
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU MODS?
"No - that part means that the US and the southern states have no requirements to pay back Confederate debts"
No, actually, you're totally wrong.
"And if it did"
It DOES.
The fact that you don't know that, and admit as much when you say "if it did" tells me you're relying on your READING of the wording, which means exactly fuck all since your reading of it sucks.
"Pretty much FUD"
No liar, pretty much dead on.
You really are a loser, lying when you're wrong/ignorant on a subject, then attacking others when they point out your error/ignorance.
How fucking pathetic are you?

"If I were the US I would invest in some lube and bend over quietly."
Then let's thank whatever we thanks in circumstances like this that an ignorant punk bitch like you isn't the US.
It's AT&T.
With that in mind, I fully expect nothing but a torrent of complaints about them.
"RAND terms don't require Apple to be a member of the GSM association"
Yes, actually they do.
You are wrong.
And you appear to be factually mistaken about the cost requirement.
