    This is why most reasonable people don't have or use Twitter.

    You forgot Conservapedia, they have their shit together /s

    Related to this, the whole "private censorship is fine" argument is a mean to obtain total censorship. Just like the third party theory is being used for total surveillance.

    Love the idea that encouraging people to not be knuckle-dragging fuckwits is somehow the road to total censorship.

  4. Re:As it should on Harvard Pulls Student Offers Over Online Comments (go.com) · · Score: 1

    This is some of the best simple advice everyone should be aware of.

    Schools have codes of conduct, many of which prohibit forms of what would be perceived as hateful behavior (whether that's righteous or not is not the point here). Would not surprise me that this crossed the line, hence the rescind.

    Even a brand new IT graduates knows computers should be plugged into UPS devices that protect against this.

    And you'd be surprised how many shops think this knowledge is someone else's problem and subsequently don't add it to any server installation docs, then look for a scapegoat when systems go tits-up like this.

    "we didn't budget for that"

    "well does your budget include a multi-day downtime when the primary site goes offline?"

    "now how could the primary site possibly go offline?"

    Unfortunately I run into this far more than I should in this industry.

    So rather un-understood

  11. Yep, Trump just put China first with this one.

  12. Re:A good number of people don't need good laptops on Qualcomm, Microsoft Announce Snapdragon 835 PCs With Gigabit LTE (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess it depends on the user. I have two Silvermont Atom laptops that I use regularly and they work just fine, with benchmarks around the Core2duo area. For coding, virtualization and even some gaming (nothing super-3D-intensive but that isn't why I bought them) they meet my needs with no problem and have batteries that last several hours easily.

    Granted they're both Linux boxes and run lighter-weight desktop environments, not a bad niche.

  13. Then its not DR, one of the core facets of DR includes testing it to ensure recovery is actually recovery.

  17. Saying you see no problem with someone getting an infection is very very far from threatening political violence.

    Thank God you're incapable of running any company

  23. If you have to look over your shoulder to see if you might offend someone the subject at hand isn't worthwhile in a professional environment to begin with.

  24. This, so much this.

  25. Not familiar with Judge Alsup? The guy is very technically competent, this looks like more of a legal redress as far as court terminology is concerned.
