    Ok. I agree with you.

    Hey everyone, listen here: pcermomb and I had finally got to an agreement, nobody eats meat anymore, ok?.

    Now, let's get to the other issue ... what the hell are we going to do with natural predators beside man? I mean, it's obviously not right for them to murder other animals either, right?

    When you say "the animal died humanely", you mean that it was an animal, member of the human species, and it then died? I mean, that's the only way a human can do things: Humanely. The word actually means "In a human way". Well, there's no other way for humans to do things than in a human way!.

    Usage example: "That human priest raped those kids humanely". And "That soldier murdered that Iraqi family in a human manner".

    I think we should just say "painlessly". I don't think "humanely" means what we think it means anymore.

    Ok, either you are a very successful troll, or a very stupid person. I really can't tell ... and I'm good at this.

    Anyway, if you are a troll, congratulations, you've done an amazing job today. puddi, puddi, puddi.

    Now, if you aren't ... What the hell are you talking about? Giving cows a chance? Are you fucking stupid?

    Look, there is NO GOD, there is just nature. And by the mere fact that we are here, I can tell you for sure 2 things: There's been some fucking and some eating going on here for a LONG TIME. That's something that I never understood. That's an animals life: You are born, you grow and survive as long as you can, try to reproduce, and then die. Most of the time, you get eaten. It's very rare to see in nature animals that die of old age. It just doesn't happen that much outside of humans and human's pets. Long before any animal can die of old age, it becomes older and slower, and gets eaten. Why is it wrong or unnatural for us to just do the same? Do you have any idea of how many animals have lived and died since life evolved on earth?

    But nobody said it better than old good George. I was going to redact this piece a little, but I can't do that to this awesome piece, so here it is, in whole:

    "'My God has a bigger dick than your God!' That's how it is, isn't it? Thousands of years, and all the best wars too, the bloodiest, most brutal wars fought all based on religious hatred, which is fine with me. Anytime a bunch of holy people want to kill each other, I'm a happy guy. But don't be giving me all this shit about the sanctity of life. I mean, even if there were such a thing, I don't think it's something you can blame on God. No, you know where the sanctity of life came from? We made it up! You know why? Cause we're alive! Self-interest. Living people have a strong interest in promoting the idea that somehow life is sacred. You don't see Abbott and Costello running around, talking about this shit, do you? We're not hearing a whole lot from Mussolini on the subject. What's the latest from JFK? Not a god damned thing, cause JFK, Mussolini, and Abbott and Costello are fucking dead. They're fucking dead, and dead people give less than a shit about the sanctity of life. Only living people care about it, so the whole thing grows out of a completely biased point of view. It's a self-serving, man-made bullshit story. It's one of these things we tell ourselves so we'll feel noble. Life is sacred, makes you feel noble.

    Well let me ask you this, if everything that ever lived is dead, and everything alive is going to die, where does the sacred part come in? I'm having trouble with that. Because even with the stuff we preach about the sanctity of life, we don't practice it. Look at what we kill. Mosquitos and flies, because they're pests! Lions and tigers, because it's fun! Chickens and pigs, because we're hungry. Pheasants and quail, because it's fun, and we're hungry. And people! We kill people, because they're pests... and it's fun!

    And you might have noticed something else, the sanctity of life doesn't seem to apply to cancer cells, does it? You never see a bumpersticker that says 'save the tumors' or 'I brake for advanced melanoma.' No, viruses, mold, mildew, maggots, fungus, weeds, e. coli bacteria, the crabs, nothing sacred about those things. So at best, the sanctity of life is kind of a selective thing. We get to choose which forms of life we feel are sacred, and we get to kill the rest. Pretty neat deal, huh? You know how we got it? We made the whole fucking thing up! Made it up, the same way we made up the death penalty. We made them both up, the sanctity of life and the death penalty. Aren't we versatile?".

    Learn something from that magnificent old fuck. Eat a stake tonight, stop trying so hard to be holier than thou.

    I can't believe it either ... but there is a whole industry dedicated to dealing with windows. But it's the way our world works, sadly.

    We create artificial scarcity, force people to use an inferior and limited technology, that has ridiculous drawbacks, and requires a tremendous workforce around it just to keep it functional. And we keep people using it even when there are cheaper, infinitely better, more reliable and future-proof technologies. The reason is simple: Through artificial scarcity, we keep the money flowing in a certain direction, we keep control in the same hands, and we create hugely profitable but completely pointless industries.

    Think about it, we could be running 100% on clean, future-proof, secure and cheap nuclear energy. Instead, we rely on oil. The infrastructure that oil demands is huge, the drawbacks are incredible, we are polluting the environment, drilling the oceans to get some more black juice out of the earth at a huge risk.

    We could also have moved all of our communications to ip-based networks, cutting down costs, and removing the need for so many different networks. We could have a single infrastructure that would provide us with high-bandwidth, low-latency internet everywhere, and put everything from phone calls to TV through that network. Instead, we are running different networks for each purpose, and within each purpose different networks for each provider. If we re-purposed all cellphone towers from all providers to give us just internet access, we could have 100% coverage everywhere in the world. Instead, we have huge overlapping (areas serviced by several providers), and huge areas with no coverage at all.

    We could also be using just Free Software. It's open, transparent, reliable, cheap, and ethical. Instead, most people use windows. That means triplicating new hardware purchases, cutting 70% on hardware's lifespan, spending incredible resources in pointless activities like antivirus production/sale/deployment, and an IT structure several times bigger than required, not to mention all the lost time and profit due to preventable downtime.

    But it's the way the economy works. It's the way the usual people keep getting richer, while keeping the majority of the world in line, quite and productive.

    It's absolutely sad, but it's not just something that happens only in software, and it's certainly no accident.

    I do just that. Hard drives have been my favorite choice of storage for a while ... I think since we hit the 40GB barrier on HDs. They've been incredible reliable and cheap since we got to that point. Back in the days of 8GB IDE Drives, I wouldn't have dared to keep backups in HDs ... to unreliable and expensive. Now I have several HDs with all my files. It's a good way to pay for backups too: You are not spending money on backup drives ... you are upgrading your current storage. Instead of adding drives, you take your current drive out as it is, and put in a new, bigger drive, leaving the old one as backup. You still keep all the old data in your current drive, for redundancy and easy access.

    The way storage capacity is growing allows you to keep the entire previous decade of backups in a tiny portion of your current HD. Doing this, I went from 80GB IDE on my PC, to 160GB SATA, then 320GB SATA, then I got rid of my desktop completely and went to just 500GB on my laptop, plus 2TB external. I don't backup shit, only the important stuff. For stuff you don't mind being public, the net is your best storage. I don't keep Movies, Music, etc. I just keep ~200GB of Metal on my HD for everyday use. Anything else, you just seed it, and re-download it whenever you need it.
