    It's never moral to defend yourself from a body armor wearing hostage taker?

    If you use the above mentioned ammunition to kill a law enforcement officer while committing a crime, you will most likely get a death sentence.

    And if most citizens carried weapons on them at all times (concealed or open) then you'd probably get shot by a few dozen witnesses to the act right after you shot the LEO. Only the absolute craziest of the crazy would still be willing to shoot him.

    That's funny, because almost everyone I knew (read: about all but 5) in the military was very Christian. Also, I'm in the College Republicans at my university, and there are at least three of us who DID fight in a war we cheer.

    Didn't you hear? They're demanding that their suppliers use RFID now. There's no plausible explanation for it other than as a cover for the real story: they're putting RFID chips in the foil to rebroadcast your thoughts to the government spy satellite (the so-called "Moon") It's all Bush's fault!

    Wow, what socialist utopia dream did you crawl out of? McDonald's owns the wall, no one else.

    Also, the constitution guarantees you the right to say anything without Congress stopping you. It doesn't guarantee you a place to say it.

    The difference is in the authorization. When he talks about someone volunteering to paint an old building, the assumption is that the owner of said building has authorized it. The type he was complaining about is unauthorized.

    Almost a haiku, but not quite. Change "How's" to "how is", take out the "any" and you're there (if you slur your "different" into "diffrent" like everyone I've ever met.)

    I've been using it on a production server for 6 months, and I've been very happy with it. Granted it only has Apache, PHP, and MySQL running, no GUI. I only had one problem, and it was my own fault.

  10. Re:Not to complain (just a bit, really) on Debian GNU/Linux now in AMD64 form · · Score: 1

    I remember reading a few months back that someone had proposed doing just that. Basically, the proposal was to leave a few archs as fully supported (I think i386, x86_64, PowerPC, and one other) He wanted to create another class of archs, somewhere between "fully supported" and "unofficial side project" that weren't updated as fast, and that wouldn't hold back the "fully supported" archs. Never heard what happened with it though.

  11. Re:I'm sympathetic on ACLU to Challenge Utah Porn-Blocking Law · · Score: 1

    I love the idea of the .xxx TLD, but we don't need legislation to enforce it. Most legit porn operators will move themselves within a few years, to avoid litigation. Plus, legislation is useless online unless with enact a "Great Firewall of the US," which would get attacked by almost all political groups, both liberal and conservative.

    The problem is, this puts unnecessary requirements on the business, which goes against laize faire (sp?) economic priciples. Consumers have the right to vote with their wallet. If enough of them do so, some ISP will offer the filtering service. We don't need government forcing them into offering it.

    I see you've fallen for one of science's greatest lies. The entire universe was created as is, last Tuesday by a sneeze from the almighty powerful George. He also created the fossil record, carbon dating evidence, and even our memories, as they are to test our faith. Anyone who uses this "evidence" to suggest that George didn't sneeze has been duped.

    Must have been one of those southern Democrats.

    Seriously though, I've never seen that joke before. Pretty good one too. I'll have to pass it on.

    Reminds me of someone that worked with a friend of mine. This person told my friend that she wanted to leave the job, but was trying to get fired so she could draw unemployment. My friend tells the boss about it, and the boss cuts the person's wages and demotes her, but refuses to fire her. She finally quit a few weeks later.

    I have to agree. I'm in the same boat as well. I usually tell people that need help desk services to try a few things, google it, and if they still need help I'll get to it when I can. I still spend way more than 1% of my time on administration. More like 7 hours so far this month, compared to 24 programming.

    As for your boss, try to sell him on the idea of a spam filter that just marks stuff as possibly spam. Then you can setup an Outlook rule in your own mailbox to dump anything that's marked. I don't know if you can filter by header in Outlook, but I'm sure there's a spam filter that marks stuff in the header. Use one of those and the boss doesn't even have to know you did it.
