Well for one I like how you stated by saying in your previous posts about the government letting people eat what they want, then say that you agree with them limiting what I can and cannot eat. Now I expect you to say you want booze, cigarettes, and caffeine banned you you are just a hypocritical bias P.O.S.

So every time you do something that shows a lack of self control I should severely punish you, good to know. Also, hubris, really now. Are you trying to should like a douche?

Except there are people who do need it,because it is also a medicine, and a damn good one too. So maybe you should try and become knowledgeable on a subject before talking out your ass, or at the very least come up with a logical argument for your stupid position. Maybe you should stay of the internet and out of a voting booth until you get that part down.

It would seem a lot of people conveniently forget the whole "harassment of underage girls" and "death threats" thing when they try and defend anonymous. I hope the FBI takes some of them down so the other goons get it in their heads that there are consequences to crimes, because they are, in fact, criminals. You cannot just go around DDoS'ing ever site you don't agree with, and anyone who tries to equate this with a boycott is a moron. A boycott is a refusal to use the services of or buy goods from a company whose policies you disagree with. What they are doing is no different from throwing bricks through store front windows to cause damage and shut the business down. Just because the store happens to be online does not make it any less severe. People need to understand that and just because they can't get all of them doesn't mean that it is futile. If the police can only catch one pedophile out of a group of 20, does that mean they shouldn't? Law enforcement needs to prove that these people can be caught and that they are not as anonymous as they think.

That is only one side of the problem. Workstations can probably go one for a while with some basic hardware updates after a few year (like more RAM). Issues like that are the ones that a visible to the users and the higher ups mostly because more people will complain when their 4 year old PC is running slow. The real problem is with the infrastructure, as in the background stuff only the IT guys can really see, understand, and complain about. A lot of the comments on here hit the nail on the head. Why spend money of Enterprise level hardware when you can get consumer grade for cheaper? Why rewrite this old outdated program when you IT guys can figure something out to extend the life? Why do you IT guys want to get paid so much? What do you mean professional software developers are expensive? I can get some kid to write it for far less. It does all boil down to short term thought overtaking long term planing, and that problem isn't just an IT one.
