Perhaps you could do the same? Or have you been absent for this tired debate? Should I start burying my cumshots in a makeshift graveyard? Should we have a 21 gun salute every time my wife apparently drops a "baby" down the toilet each month?
No, he opposes the right of two people to copulate and then kill their offspring.
No, he opposes the right of a woman to control her body and life for the sake of saving a few cells that only have the potential to someday be "offspring".
Stop confusing morality with scientific fact; it makes me embarrassed to share the same genome.
I couldn't bring myself to respond to each inane attempt at a bulletpoint:)
While there are some security professionals who think "deny, deny, deny" is a sound policy, the better one's understand that the "IT" in "IT Security Professional" means that ultimately, technology is used to enable the business process (and if you're able to enable it better than your competitor's, you gain a strategic advantage on them). Thus, "deny, deny" doesn't rationally fit that approach, which just means we get to have fun engineering solutions that enable the business, yet are secure.
The only underlying principle in IT security is "Deny everything to everyone all the time"
You're either really bad at snark, or have little concept of (and great contempt for) true IT security work. Did a network admin forbid you from logging into your hotmail account, or what?
Did you do the attendees a favor and correct the lecturer, or did you just let the misinformation run wild?

However I DID have an IT guy tell me with a straight face that windows out of the box is more secure than any given Linux install out of the box. He backed down pretty quick when I suggested that we install both OSes on a machine connected to the open Internet, though...
What year was this? A few years ago, some linux distros had some pretty dumb default ports open. Likewise, Microsoft at least showed some sense in enabling the XP SP2 'firewall' by default. Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but a few years ago, an "out of the box" linux install was arguably just as bad as windows.
I've tried reading The Tao Te Ching, but I definitely wasn't approaching it with the correct mindset. Texts on buddhism/zen at the local brick and mortars have (in my experience) been pretty lackluster. I'll pour through those links at some point.
DMT has been on my list for potential study, but it's something I know I'm not ready for (that, and I don't have a sitter).
The way I see it campaigning for any "regular" job and campaigning for an "elected" government position is pretty much the same thing.
Apparently, you're conveniently forgetting that the "regular" jobs in question end up being filled by cronies, i.e.: the best resume, doesn't matter a slimy shit.
It is about what races expect. White people will expect him to act white. Black people will expect him to act black.
I don't expect any of the candidates to "act white", because I don't know what in the fuck that is supposed to mean.
So please tell me, how do white people act? Do they walk and dance funny?
All the wishful thinking in the world won't get him elected. He won't be the next president and he won't be the next vice president. This just isn't the time for a black person to have that office.
It's the job of progressives to drag the rest of country into the 21st century. If people want to make this election about race, they need to be attacked again and again on their racist, ignorant stances.
Did Rosa Parks think "Golly, it's just not the time for black people to sit where they rightfully please"?
Did Dr, King state "I have a dream...but maybe someday later, not right now.".
Shame on you for even suggesting that Obama is "the black" candidate. He's as legitimate a candidate as any other, with the support to prove it. He just happens to be black. You can't expect a candidate to win if you assume the worse from the beginning. Apathy kills progress, and hands the country over to the ignorant element of our country.
Yet another pointless footnote for a Presidential candidate that will never see the light of day. He might as well have said "Read my lips," just to make sure it dies.
Yes, we should compare Obama's actual proposed plan to yet another Republican sound-byte of a policy.
Even if the plan gets neutered (you will perform your duty and call your representatives to support it won't you?), at a minimum, Senator Obama is showing initiative in his understanding of technology and our country's need to embrace it.
How do you vote for any candidate? Do you just assume that every idea they have will be "chewed, digested" and wanked on in Washington?
Yes, I might react differently with that knowledge. But am I any safer? Does my reaction make me safer?
Depending on your reaction? Yes.
If I have the opportunity to not live in the neighborhood of a convicted killer/rapist/child molestor, I will choose that opportunity. If my hypothetical reaction is to move away from that individual, odds are that I'm safer. Why should it be my concern that this individual now feels isolated? Do I need to invite him over for cupcakes and monster movie marathons?
How does the public benefit from knowing this information? Are they any safer with that knowledge?
???
If I lock you in a room with a person, you wouldn't react differently to that person if you knew they were a murderer? You seem to infer that because I'm for disclosure on these crimes, I'm also for vigilante justice. When you assume, you make an ass of you and you.
I agree. Raping, molesting, or murdering someone is a violation of their civil rights, and said violation should have repercussions. A possible repercussion could be reevaluating prison sentence terms for these offenses.
so what you're saying is, it's not a black and white issue, but you'd rather treat it as such.
Sorry, but to me your argument comes across as: Fire bad!
Well, yeah, if you touch it with your bare hand it is, but if you... FIRE bad!! Get rid of fire! ...use it for cooking or heating, it's quite useful. FIRE BAD!!!!
youre saying that invading someones privacy is ok because people need to know about all the bad things their neighbors have done
Where did I say "all the bad things" someone has done?
Murder, molestation, and rape (i.e.: what I cited) amount to three items. (Is there a serial exaggerator database we can sign you up for?
If a person decides to murder, molest, or rape, they lose their right to privacy regarding those crimes.
this article is a PERFECT example of why that is an incredibly bad idea.
And I could point you to cases where convicted sexual offenders have been released only to commit the same crime again. Why should a victim lose they're right to not be raped?

Or we could, I dunno, stop giving a shit if our cars are "pretty". I for one, will buy an "ugly" car if it means killing our support of foreign oil.

Pretty big error (almost 50%)
Well, you certainly show the intellect of a 12 year old.
I wasn't comparing the two, hence my inquiry as to when the original conversation was made.

Any recommended reading? For those of us inclined to be less confused?

and those dumb fuckers sure haven't noticed.
The notion that employees need to be available at all hours is horseshit that deserves to be eaten by anyone weak enough to buy into it.
Is that noted in the comparison?
Dude, there's no way you're tricking me into watching 2girls1cup again.
and let "the program" monitor a nice stream of goatse.
so your point is that the system needs to better organized and optimized.
