I am in the military and it is hard to say how I compare to civilians since I haven't had an IT job on the civilian side yet (I did work in manufacturing before I joined). However I can say that in the few short years that I have been in I have worked on a plethora of systems. Possibly more than I ever could have with a civilian job. Furthermore the military can be very demanding and anyone who has been in can tell you that. Also everything you do someone’s life depends on it so it is more stressful than anything I had to do as a civilian. So those few things right there are probably why companies like to hire veterans. Especially when you think about the fact that we have great experience, work like mules, and can handle stress far easier than most of our civilian counter parts.

Good one, wish I had points to mod you up.

Ok you are obviously just being a troll now. I am willing to admit that I typed one thing while thinkiing another, I made a mistake it happens get over it. You already know what I actually meant so with that I am done.

What I meant was that you do not have to use steam if you choose. There are ways to get games that are DRM free.

You don't have too, and some of us don't mind using steam.

It is great to see Linux gaining more traction when it comes to gaming. The number of games on steam that support Linux are getting quite numerous. Maybe we will eventually see Linux used as much as Windows for gaming in the future.

I'd mod you up, but you already are at max. A lot of the flaws people point out are pretty easy to debunk when you think about it. Even someone in grade school could probably figure them out if they are smart enough. The best one I know is how people point out you cannot see the stars. Well of course you can't see them because the sun is out and the light from it is drowning out their light. Also people try to argue about the dust not flying up into the air and just falling straight to the ground. Well that’s because there is not atmosphere on the moon so obviously the dust has nothing to float around in before it finally settles. Which explains why it falls straight to the ground. I could say more, but like you said the evidence to support that the moon landing is real is pretty strong. Especially when some of the so called flaws is actually evidence that helps to show that they were actually in space on the moon.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I'm so glad I read you comment it is definitely going to save me in the future!

Sometimes I do stuff and later I think "Wow I should have thought about that". However when I see stuff like this I am reminded that I am not that bad off. If anything this shows me that I might even possibly be smarter than I realize. Also as funny as this is it also makes me cringe and worry about the future.

I don't see why you all keep making assumptions. If science does not conflict with my beleifs why is it still such a big deal to everyone?

As I said being religious does not mean anti-science. Furthermore I give a lot of things in science a lot of thought, and truthfully I can't say any of them go against what I believe. Religion is an explanation of why I am here and where I will go so to speak. Whereas science is basically just something that explains the world around us. The two do not have to contradict one another.

Being religious does not make you anti-science.

You need to get down off of that high horse of yours. If I am wrong I am wrong, I just don't see the value in spending this much on a game. If it pays off for Microsoft then great.

Minecraft is a great game and all, but who in their right mind would buy any game franchise for this much? I don't see how they could possibly make their money back off of this one. I am happy for the creator though since he is now set for life.
