  1. Re:Congress, our representatives? on SOPA Hearings Stacked In Favor of Pro-SOPA Lobby · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't forget to fear monger to your group endlessly like the NRA does. I'm a gun owner, I love my gun rights. I carry daily. I WAS a NRA member. I'm so sick of getting letters about how Obama (or whatever evil you can come up with) is going to take away my guns unless I give the NRA another cash injection.

    Obama has bigger issues than guns, and he won't be taking them away during campaign time (which with our media is basically from day one in office). The truth is that gun rights have gotten a lot better in the last 3 years. Their message of constant fear and attack just drove me away.

  2. Re:As a user or as an administrator? on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Very true on the admin side. I have found nothing nearly as easy to setup and use as AD. We were a novell and linux shop that just moved to AD. We never had a windows server before about 6 months ago. I was very impressed by how easy it was to get setup and migrated. I'm kinda starting to become a little bit of a MS fan.

  3. Re:Skyrim on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    This is why I moved my gaming off my computer. I have a nice laptop that is way cheaper than keeping up with the gaming game. I also have a xbox 360 and a nice TV so I can get my gaming fix once and awhile. I'll be playing skyrim as soon as I get home tonight.

  4. Re:One small victory for a man.. on Censored Religious Debate Video Released After Public Outrage · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The important thing is that it is released. Now we can all watch and decide for ourselves.

    Changed it to code for a post a while back and must have never fixed it.

  6. That's why we didn't go ubuntu on Are Power Users Too Cool For Ubuntu Unity? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I run about 100 linux servers. Currently they are ubuntu servers and are unsupported. We are about to do a refresh and my boss asked me to get official support. I looked at ubuntu support, but honestly the direction ubuntu is going on their desktop and the way their mouthpieces act has caused my team and I to not want to risk staying with ubuntu. We are looking at Redhat.

    I guess we are too cool to give them money.

  7. Re:I'd say that's "mostly" true. on Linux Foundation Releases Document On UEFI Secure Boot · · Score: 1

    It doesn't change the fact that more and more normal people are wanting more control. When my mom is asking me to jailbreak her phone so she can do X with it, I know the trend is changing. My mom is almost incapable of using an iphone out of the box.

    Yea he makes the decisions, from a list of products I've selected.......

    It is my job to evaluate and write-up reports on what technology we should be using.  I guess my ego is overinflated to think that my boss reads them. I guess he just really likes me and pays me for a service he finds useless.

  9. Re:So as I follow it... on Linux Foundation Releases Document On UEFI Secure Boot · · Score: 1

    Exactly, it took a lot of teeth pulling but we are just now looking at a windows 7 migration.

    Which is countered by the huge number of non-tech users who beg me to jailbreak their iphones.

  12. Re:5th Amendment on Drone Kills Top Al Qaeda Figure · · Score: 1

    And you realize a president can do none of those things. All it would bring is more endless strife to congress and pointless arguing. We don't need more conflict in government, we need rational people who are willing to work slowly and compromise to create a better, more efficient, and smaller government.

  15. Re:Why has it taken 50 years? on The Dead Sea Scrolls and Information Paranoia · · Score: 1

    But the bible was never originally written. It was compiled from a large group of texted based on the political and social climate of the time.

  17. Re:Why has it taken 50 years? on The Dead Sea Scrolls and Information Paranoia · · Score: 1

    If the bible can contain errors, then how is it the word of god? Why would god allow such errors in his work?

    If he allowed one error, how can anything in the bible be trusted at all? Either the bible errorless and the word of god (as it is claimed by the followers of christ) or it isn't.

  18. Re:Why has it taken 50 years? on The Dead Sea Scrolls and Information Paranoia · · Score: 1

    Would you at least agree that it is reasonable to assume or believe something is false (especially something incredible, like a god) until faced with evidence that a the claim in question is true?

    Don't forget to add on to the Atheist this "also, there is a lot of historical and culture/human nature evidence to believe religion is just made up to control people/help them sleep at night/explain things we didn't understand."

  20. Re:Why has it taken 50 years? on The Dead Sea Scrolls and Information Paranoia · · Score: 1

    Really, so you can not say it is false that I actually have controlled every action you have ever taken with my mind?

    In fact, I'm a time traveler from the future sent back to save you from yourself.

    It is on the claimant to prove their claims true, not on the doubter to prove them false. I could say anything I want, getting a bunch of people to agree does not make my claim worth investigating until I have evidence it is true.

  23. Re:What an over sensationalist title on How Microsoft Can Lock Linux Off Windows 8 PCs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They don't have to be coaxed, it's in their best interests to lock it out from the purchaser. It's the same reason they lock you out of android phones. Installing your own OS is something they don't want you to do because they think it drives up support costs and makes their built in advertisements go away.

  24. Re:Crashplan on Ask Slashdot: Network Backup Solution Out of the Box? · · Score: 1

    I've done file recovery from crashplan, both locally and with their cloud service. I had no issues.

    My issue is the vast amount of data I want to backup and the speed of my network connection. Initial sync to the cloud sucks. Luckily I was able to backup locally and send it to my friend to host later.

    I backup to local usb drive, friends computer, and crashplan's cloud service.
