    over the years I'm becoming embarrassed to work in this industry, your list was modded up, because everyone knows there are very, very, few honest tables in the casino.

    BS - There's always wiggle room for an argument and people smart enough to evaluate two expert opinions and decipher which one is earnest, or at least more approximately correct. Right people also have this silly little tendency to stick to the facts, sometimes beyond what is reasonably risky for them.

    They are antithetical quotes. Espousing the success of tactics which would directly disagree with one another, how can that make sense?

    I understand where you're coming from, but I do not like where you're going. The only resolution for your demands is to completely remove our soldier's ability to initiate combat entirely, which as shown by the video already required several authorizations and confirmations before they went ahead. The appearance was even that the enemy had fired and was getting ready to fire, so even saying that the enemy must fire first does not live up to these standards.

    I'm sorry, but barring severe disability, childlike naivety, or plain insanity everyone that goes towards a combat zone in order to accomplish an objective within the combat zone damn well ought to evaluate those risks before achieving that objective. Bridges and buildings have a pretense of safety, an obligation to humanity to operate in a manner which is not grossly negligent or predatory. Soldiers, armies, combat zones, etc. function without any such pretense, in fact, the context is so fundamentally opposed that I cannot understand why nobody has pursued Reuters for providing inadequate training for an employee given an incredibly hazardous task.

    Now, I'm not saying that nobody should be punished, but I cant see any cause for legal liability, not by that video alone. Find a policy or procedure they did not follow and you might have something, but that video does not present anything blatantly negligent.

    Jeeze, you're a douche. I'll tell you, if I was a psychotic asshole looking to pick people off for shits and giggles the very last people I would fsck with would be reporters, it's kind of the same thing with serial killers targeting hookers, you're not trying to get caught. This was an accident, a tragedy, but not intentional as far as I can tell.

    I've got a few, I won't name names, but on my desktop systems it's around 0%-5%, on those systems I try to keep them from updating. The setups are pretty particular so I think it's better to just run the updates and fix the few machines that break, on a desktop that is. On server s-he's probably had a few over a couple years.

    The worst is actually trying to make an effort to keeping everything on a windows system up to date.

    Anyways, you shouldn't be making changes directly to production, I don't care what system you're running. Saying I have Debian and Debian is secure will not cut it.

    It's my opinion that racism is a manner of perpetuating ancient wars that were long ago thought to be settled. Racism against North Koreans, Mexican civilians, etc undermine our leadership's ability to act diplomatically with other countries. It is also widely accepted that racism is antithetical to capitalism.
