  5. Re:Capt. Obvious reports. on What Happens To Data When a Cloud Provider Dies? · · Score: 1

    That's the answer I was looking for. The question was mainly rhetorical, and intended to get the OP to reconsider his statement that "only an idiot" does not store local backups of their hosted data

    Really? I kinda read it as this...

    10 or 15 years ago one might hear "only an idiot wouldn't backup their on-site data off-site"

    now, "only and idiot wouldn't backup their off-site data on-site..."

    i dunno, just a thought

    I think the UN disagrees with you. According to them everyone does have the right to food.

    Does the UN identify who, exactly, is supposed to fulfill that right? As someone posted above, how, exactly, does one fulfill a "right" anyway?

    Article 25 points out a "right" to housing... what about the 1.3 million homeless in the US?

    I think you have a right to not be denied those things, but you do not have a right to have them provided to you magically.

    At least they put the quote key where it belongs, right next to the RETURN key, rather than up on SHIFT-2.

    Shift-2 was the stupidest place for the quote key - never could get the hang of it there.

  19. Not enough exposure. on Utah Attorney General Tweets Execution Order · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Executions should be televised.

    And don't forget, the polls show the American people want capital punishment, and they want a balanced budget. And I think even in a fake democracy, people ought to get what they want once in a while. Just to feed this illusion that they're really in charge. Let's use capital punishment the same way we use sports and television in this country, to distract people and take their minds off how bad they're being fucked by the upper one percent. Now, unfortunately, unfortunately Monday Night Football doesn't last long enough. What we really need is year-round capital punishment on TV every night with sponsors. Gotta have sponsors. I'm sure as long as we're killing people Marlboro Cigarettes and Dow Chemical would be proud to participate! Proud to participate! Balance the stupid fucking budget!!

    And- and let me say this to you my interesting judaeo-christian friends. Not only- not only do I recommend crucifixions, I'd be in favor of bringing back beheadings!! Huh? Beheadings on TV, slow-motion, instant replay? And maybe you could let the heads roll down a little hill. And fall into one of five numbered holes. Let the people at home gamble on which hole the head is going to fall into. And you do it in a stadium so the mob can gamble on it too. Raise a little more money. And if you want to expand the violence a little longer to sell a few more commercials, instead of using an axe, you do the beheadings with a hand saw! Hey, don't bail out on me now, God damnit! The blood is already on our hands, all we're talking about is a matter of degree. You want something a little more delicate, we'll do the beheadings with an olive fork. That would be nice. And it would take a good God damn long time. There's a lot of good things we could be doing.
