Monsanto already owns the copyright to your DNA, especially if your parents lived downwind from a Roundup-ready cornfield, or if you ate any Taco Bell brand taco shells.
telnet pretty much solves my remote troubleshooting needs, and it's quite ubiquitous, even available on the windows command line.
Not by default any more. With Win7 you have to add it on using Programs and Features. Probably the same with Win2k8. In fact, I recently noticed that RHEL6 doesn't include telnet client in their list of default packages either.
In a world where 50 million children are malnourished who cares if Scientologist read strange books and use E-meters to read their souls? I don't know why this is a subject for Slashdot in the first place.
Read the F'n article. These people operate in the supposed 1st world nations (predominately USA), but according to the article, they practice slavery and brainwashing, and according to other sources actually advocate lying, murder, and emotional cauterization as healthy actions for their adherents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R2-45 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Game_(Scientology)
We use sudo to assign specific commands to people. Otherwise, there's not much use (in fact, it prevents one more level of protection for the server; I like having su - require a different password than what I logged on with). Also, if I would ever be forced into using sudo on a regular basis, I'd need to make it always ask for my password. The password caching mechanism catches me off guard occasionally, and I start typing my password on the command line out of habit. Bad UI choice.
vim? svelt? Puhleez. When not using ed(1), Real Unix vets use Bostic's One True vi, not some fagged-up Vegas showplace of an editor like vim.
That's like saying Real Unix vets still use telnet and rsh to remotely administer machines. Sometimes it's nice to be able to move up and down lines without having to leave edit/write mode. vim is used by Real Unix vets who have kept up with the times, just like ssh. Only washed up has-beens don't learn to eventually use better tools.
The biggest news is the "L.Ron was never blind" news. The FOIA release of L.Ron's military records don't match Scientology's, and Scientology's records had obvious false information (wrong purple hearts, anachronistic medals), which makes theirs more suspect of being the incorrect version. If L.Ron was never blind, then dianetics doesn't work.
Actually, people use 'cult' to refer to a religion that, in addition to #3 above, uses unlawful/immoral/unethical/violent means of supressing dissent. Yes, Christianity was very much a cult at its start.
No, Christianity was very much a cult (per your definition) in its middle. The Christians in 30-ish AD weren't bloodthirsty killers bent on murdering non-believers. They were a sect of Judaism for a while, and viewed as a cannibal-sex-cult by the Romans (They eat flesh and drink blood at "orgies" [love feasts]). It wasn't until well after establishment as a state religion that violence was used to suppress dissent (by the state first, not the religion itself, although the papacy eventually did start using its own immoral/unethical/violent means).
Your problem arises from an assumption that Novell still means Netware/Groupwise. In a lot of people's minds now, Suse Linux makes a large showing. Sure, Suse stupidly uses mono for things it shouldn't, but it's not otherwise bloated.
Yeah, those "personal responsibility" contracts are just proof that you allowed senior management to do something unbelievably stupid and attempted to absolve yourself of the duties you were hired for. When it hits the fan, you'll be canned because you weren't doing your job (senior management might or might not be fired depending on cronyism).
Building security has problems with assholes defeating the building's fire alarm so they can sneak out to a fire escape (or worse yet, a ground-floor alley) and smoke and get back in.
If an addiction is causing people to break company policy (or worse, the law), then maybe it's time to fire their butts (pun intended).
how could such a clown, with multiple pending trials for corruption, tax offenses, abuse of power and even child prostitution, convince the majority of the other politicians and a consistent slice of Italian people to keep him as their prime minister for almost 20 years now?

Death panels? Sure. Obama is going to sneak into your house in the dead of night and smother your grandmother *personally.*
Totally awesome strawman you set up there. Can I help burn it? I'm sure you're too young to remember it, but the "death panels" comment is a reference to a twilight zone episode where a middle aged man is brought before a death panel. Everyone discussing the possibility if "death panels" knows they aren't discussing *real* panels, just the concept of govt beuracracy determining when enough health care is enough instead of doctors or patients deciding.

L Ron was never newbie to Scientology, but the Pope most assuredly was a newbie in Catholicism. He didn't invent Christianity six years ago.
