But they pay you good, right?
They (should) pay you more for your Linux knowledge of all the bumfuck distro's than just knowing the front and back ends of Windows and MacOS, right?
The more money you make, the more headaches you get!
No, no no no! Who modded this up? You're missing key points in your supposed argument.
Viruses, unless coded to work with different OS archetecture, cannot just infect a MacBook Pro running Windows XP, for example, and move over to the OSX portion of the mac and infect that too. They are running completely different file permissions systems (NTFS vs...Mac Journaled something or other), so, if I have all my eggs in order, unless the virus that is infecting windows throws shit around the entire harddrive, a 1 here, a 0 there, it cannot infect/exploit the Mac portion of the system/their vulnerabilities. Mac OSX is a Unix Tank. You can't destroy it that easily.
Thats like saying Windows viruses can infect Linux. It just doesn't work that way.
What would this do to gaming websites that have free, basic, and premium memberships to download content like Gamespot's patches for so many games or Gamespy's movie content faster, for example?
Or am I just reading this wrong?
I wonder as well. Obviously, I messed up, confusing two disasters (3 Mile Island vs. Chernobyl), but it was due to the fact that someone in the Ukraine made bad decisions. Thusly, idiocy. I didn't poke any fun at the Ukrainian people, just "because of idiocy in the Ukraine". Obviously, it WAS in the Ukraine, and someone there was an IDIOT.
I don't know why I got modded -1, Troll, because of a flop in a fact. The rest of the post is golden truth and is informitive in that respect.
Nuclear Power has always been the way to go. People fear nuclear power because of a few lies: 1) What really happend at Chernobyl. 2) Nuclear power plants emit cancer causing radiation. 3) Nuclear power plants are expensive to run.
1) First off, Chernobyl exploded because of idiocy in the Ukraine. You do not conduct an experiment on a nuclear power plant and turn all the safeties off. That is asking for trouble. However, NO FALLOUT WAS EVER RELEASED FROM THE FACILITY. The facility was 100% lost, but everyone was safe that was not inside the plant. Not to mention, the United States have safety measures that far exceed most, if not all countries running nuclear power in the world. Every nuclear power plant after the Chernobyl incident was constructed more towards US safety specifications.
2) Yes, nuclear power plants give off radiation. 1 millirem of radiation per year. Cosmic rays from outer space, radon gas, television sets, microwaves, smoke detectors, etc. which we receive constantly gives off 360 milirem's of radiation. That 1 extra millirem will not kill you. If your still paranoid about radiation, concider this:
Coal plants emit 100,000 tons of sulphur dioxide, 75,000 tons of nitrogen oxides, and 5000 tons of fly ash into the environment per year. Oil-burning plants emit about 16,000 tons of sulphur dioxide and 20,000 tons of nitrogen oxides per year.
That's all equal, by weight, to about a half million elephants. Kenya can't compete to that many elephants. So compare, 1 millirem of radiation, or enough pollution to create thousands of gas chambers?
3) To create the amount of energy that a nuclear pellet can muster, you would need (2003-2004 dollars):
Three barrels of oil $150 One ton of coal $35 One nuclear fuel pellet $7
In 1993, Using nuclear power saved the world $13 Billion in fuel costs in just one year, not to mention hundreds of thousands of tons of pollution.
So, I don't know what everyone is so paranoid over. The statistics are there, nuclear power is better.
Everyone seems to be bash bash bashing AOL. Sure, they're making some really unintellectual decisions about cost, and I remember when I could get Earthlink for 12.95 and AOL on top of it for 9.95, which was, actually, a decent deal.
However, if they went back to the old method, would bashing still continue?
"Oh, they've realized that they're losing more money than usual! Too bad they suck anyway."
It's not that AOL is a giant group of Nazi's hunting to take over, but a really mal-adjusted administrative team making awful decision after awful decision.
This is the only company that I see people pointing fingers at the company, and not the people inside.
The US Government, supposedly the most wealthy in the world, keeps breaking all of their promises. Peace, a stable economy, and now they take their stargazed eyes and focus them significantly closer to home.
At the rate we're going, by the time we actually need to get off this planet because we've hollowed it out and destroyed the O-Zone....
Congressman1: Alright, we're about to die. Any ideas? Congressman2: We can up and move to another planet. Congressman1: Great idea! Get us a list of inhabitable planets! Secretary: Um...that analysis was cancelled not too long ago - back in '06. Congressman1&2:...Poo.
