This is my line of thinking as well- I've lost touch with most of my old friends, and frankly, I don't really miss them.
The ones I do want to talk to... well, I have enough google-fu to hunt them down if I want to see them. If they can't do the same, it's not a big deal to me.
Yes, but when you've got a shell session open already, who wants to open Kate (okay, on my system she's always open), punch in the credentials, and navigate to the file you want to change. It's an awful lot easier to jut type "vi filename".
Don't get me wrong, I love Kate, but vi is fast. Wicked, wicked fast.
The NSA is probably the one organization that actually can handle the computers on their own (consequently, they are the only one that I'm really scared of).
From what I understand, the FBI still stores most of its files in hard-copy form. Accessing data can take weeks for a low-priority case. The white house, the CIA, and other agencies have all had high-profile data breaches in the past few years.
More importantly, there are a lot of non-military departments where the infrastructure and management of computer systems is extremely lacking. Setting up some catchall policies for these departments can only help.
I too come from a rather... rural environment, and I found it shocking that (for the most part) Obama's race never really came into the discussion in a major way. I know plenty of bigoted assholes, and most of them actually managed to look at the issues.
When did we become so cynical that we believed nothing would change
When Bush got re-elected. Though I wouldn't have voted for Kerry either, that campaign convinced me that politics is a pointless formality. I stopped caring, and stopped voting.
Now I'm cynical enough that the only coverage I watched on election day came from the Onion.
You make an excellent point. If you told those people, that they didn't exist, they would probably react violently (being the people that they are), and would disappear in a puff of logic.

Until you get paid, it's not a high-yield investment; it's a high-risk investment.
Wow.
Either she's the world's biggest moron, or it was the world's best con job.
Either way, she doesn't deserve to keep that money.
I'll bet it's Sandra. She always acted like she wasn't white trash, but we all knew better.

You keep trying, but your emails keep ending up in my spam box.
No, the alligators feed on the downhill route.

I already do consider them a threat to national security.
You mean like workinng on his self-contained sailboat, because he has nothing better to do?
I think he can put that on the back-burner for now.

He prefers to commune with the wild beastes. I'm pretty sure RMS is sasquatch.

You bolded 6 instances of his name, but only two deserved apostrophes.
I recommend a rehabilitation program- play DOAX until you are comfortable with them wearing bikinis and jumping around.

That part, at least, is encouraging.

I've always used html-style hyperlinks, which also work fine.
You're totally right. Everybody Boycott /. until they switch to a different DBMS. Let's all go to... um...
What does Digg run?
Hating Microsoft by default may not be wholly accurate or fair, but it's hella efficient.
The only thing I've found it useful for is invading the privacy of potential job applicants and online foes.
In fact, the first few bits to cross the wires were 1's and 0's interlocking suggestively.
I refuse to believe that the deuce was wrong. It was just right enough to give the hot rodders something to "finish".
To be fair, it's a really big lobster.
We've already got one, you just didn't get an invitation.
It's really nice though. Unlimited high res porn and chatrooms with actual girls in them.
