from an AC.

Ok. You are awesome.

Feel better?

Not always so easy with windows.

Linux users are fairly smart, and value security.

I do not have to worry too much about viruses and bot nets but that is because I harden my systems so that people looking to get in can not. We all do it. Install only the components we need. Whitelist where possible. External firewalls and compartmentalizing.

Any decent Linux guy has a system that is fairly secure.

Really?

Seeing a 20% rise in insurance claims on electronic equipment during the time of highest geomagnetic activity over 10 years seems to me to be almost everything but actual, rigorous proof.

I would go so far as to say that you are just being difficult due to the fact that you recently got schooled on the difference between causation and correlation. Now you feel the need to take down a scientific study using your new awesomeness,

I would go there but we all already know the sadness that is a pedantic AC.

They have nothing. You can only take money from your community.

Correct. It was built on exactly those things.

It will be destroyed on the idea that rights are given, not recognized. That responsibility is only for the rich. That freedom is only important till someone is offended. That making everyone have an equal amount of stuff trumps recognizing that everyone is equal. That government knows best and every person and every government is equally exceptional.

The NSA should look more deeply into my grandson. He is quite good at terrorizing sometimes.

Thank you for your comment. I really appreciate the way ACs are not only so free with their opinions, but I have noticed that almost without fail they always offer tons of well researched supporting facts to back up their opinions.

That coupled with their awesome grasp of humor and their perfect recognition of sarcasm makes me value opinions of ACs like you so very much.

The best way to program for sure.

the sixth I do not wish to talk about but it will get moved soon.
