I can find it myself. But when you attempt a counterpoint, you are either educating or bullshitting. There is no other reason to reply.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you were educating. But to do that, you need to give some details other than saying the other side is just lying.
I'm sure your links are great. I'm sorry you missed the point of my post.
There's nothing wrong with that principle if the private corporation is getting government money.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that does what you just did. I assume you meant

I do that at work many times. It is frustrating when you feel like you made the most incredible statement that would end all debates and then realize you left of one word that reversed your entire point.
I also combine parts of two words into one nonsense word. I really think leaving off words and combining words is due to the fact that our minds are quicker then our fingers. (The difference is that spell check catches the combination of words.)
That would be a great point if any of it applied to the current situation. Were you to get a little background on the situation you'd see that the people crying govt. interference are the ones being subsidized. I know, I know, major corporations and politicians lying to you... who'd a thunk.
That would be a great point if you gave anything to back it up.
As your argument stands, it is the liar-liar argument.
As a comment alone, your statement is fine for this place. But you set up your comment as a rebuttal without giving anything to refute the original statement.
They see us the same way you obviously do: just a moron doing a job so beneath them that no respect or even common decency is needed.
When you find it personally acceptable to stall the customer to purposefully prevent good service when you are a customer service rep, then you deserve everything you get. Either pass them along to your supervisor as they ask, or don't and know that you are being a complete ass to the person you are supposedly serving in order to follow a policy that's designed to aggrivate callers into giving up asking for help with their problem. You can't claim that both your customers and your bosses are asses and you are the innocent person caught in the middle. You are choosing to work there, you are choosing to follow the rules made by people you claim think you are a moron, and you refuse to think for yourself when in that position. You shouldn't expect anything but ridicule here for that.
So I guess you sympathized more with the boss in Office Space.
It is sad to know that people like you look down on people just trying to make a living. Some people so not have the skills to move beyond where they are. Some people are not capable of having those skills.
A call comes like this > rep "How can I help you" > caller "I want to speak to your supervisor now" > rep "That is no problem. What is the issue?" > caller "You are a moron! The problem is now that I asked for your supervisor and you don't seem to be able to do that! What is it about NOW that you don't get?!" > rep "Ok. I will transfer you"
>rep to supervisor "I have a caller requesting to speak with you." >supervisor "What does he need?" > rep "I don't know. I asked but he would not say. I don't even know if you are the right supervisor or what department he needs."
>supervisor is amazed at how utterly incompetent the rep is.
To make matters worse. Now that the caller is speaking to a supervisor - as opposed to a lowly rep, - they are suddenly very reasonable leaving the supervisor to assume that the rep must be the problem.
At the bottom of this is what I replied to. Where was the rep being an asshole? For not immediately transferring to a supervisor? I know today's generation honestly feels the world should halt at a snap from them, but this is ridiculous.
You're mad at a rep for following a procedure that states they have to attempt to help you before passing you off to someone else.
Funny enough, a lot of call centers just transfer people to another rep, the line just beeps and tells them it's an "escalation call" when they answer it.
This works because most small people just need to be humored and at a call center, it extremely easy to do that.
This guy is a clown.My favorite thing to do is keep saying " let me speak to your superior." and "What about 'right now' don't you understand,moron?" until you are speaking with someone suitably responsible, then lay it on the line. " So, I'm sure my readers will love a warning about your 'no-tell' capping system and your bungling service. It's nice to be able to finally let my readers know AT&T is the only acceptable broadband in the Austin area. Of course though readers from other markets read me as well. It's too bad we couldn't clear this problem up. Your service represenatives seem to think that Streaming entertainment constitutes too much bandwidth for your little network to take. I'm sure they'll be glad that AT&T aren't asshats to their customers and mind their own business."
Just ad lib it a bit and kick 'em in the crotch good. You'd be surprised how attitudes change with the threat of constitutionally protected opinions available to their customers. If not, well, f**k 'em anyway. Blog it up.
As a call center employee, let me take a moment to tell you how much we love people like you. Calls like this make an already miserable job that much more wonderful.
Most call centers require the rep spend some amount of time trying to handle a call despite the caller asking to speak to a supervisor. They can lose their jobs if they don't - although I realize elitists like you could care less about other people's jobs.
You just keep calling us morons and and enjoy the knowledge that this is one of the few times you will have power over someone.
Also realize that as clever and unique as you think you are, callers like you are the norm and managers or people in positions to make changes can care less how you treat a call center employee.
They see us the same way you obviously do: just a moron doing a job so beneath them that no respect or even common decency is needed.

I toy with the idea of setting up/var on its own partition (or at least/var/cache) but it does not interest me enough to be worth repartitioning my hard drive. That might change if Time Warner hits my region with that tier program.

But that was the point of Vista: to make whatever came next look revolutionary.
That's what bags are for
I guess that explains why no non-gpl stuff is on my Debian install.

I actually wish they would do this more often - like Debian and other linux distro.
I would rather upgrade a package whole then download a patch that forces me to reboot and then needs a patch on top of that.
No. Your post was actually funny. I was more calling out the person who down-modded him.
I replied to your post so that my comment would still make sense if the moderation score changed :)
sudo apt-get autoremove takes no arguments.
Works here.
It redirects to http://www.disa.mil/forge/ which is working fine

You are honestly comparing not immediately transferring a call to a supervisor to the killing of millions of Poles and Jews in Nazi Germany?

Or popping up in Dollhouse now.
I really don't understand why they are still bothering.
It's a waste of their money and taxpayer's money
If a keylogger can grab your password, it won't matter if you are using su or sudo. Either way, you are typing in your password.
I prefer su with sudo for limited users and applications.
My root password is much more difficult to guess than my user password. The downside is that they already know the admin's user name
What a well thought out and insightful post
Just edit your post.
Now where are those sarcsm tags...
I guess the present admistration has the same relationship as the last one.
At least it's non-partism
I guess / is a tag or something because mine looked liked tinter's until I saved it.
For me /home /usr/local /media/left_over_space_1 /media/left_over_space_2

Exactly.
That's why the governement should regulate salarys.
Or, we can quit watching sports and overrated movies with no stories and stock holders can start holding CEO's accountable.
I prefer the 2nd solution, but in our age of class envy, I think the first is becoming more popular.
