Here in the South, if you just ask for "tea" you will get horribly over sweetened iced tea. You can ask for "unsweet" tea or hot tea. Hot tea is served unsweetened. If self serve dispensers are available it is common for those of reasonable taste to use sweet tea to sweeten their unsweet tea. Don't ask for it mixed though, counter monkeys don't do complicated.

, he won't dispute the charge so he's guilty.

No, his cooperation has no bearing on his guilt. If you call me a peacock and I ignore your ridiculous claim I don't magically become a peacock. Lack of defense isn't evidense of guilt, and evidense is what is entirely lacking in this case. It has been asserted that he doped, no evidence has been put forth.

The artist has absolute control of distribution of his works. If he never publishes them then they will never be copied. Once he turns them lose into the world then they will be captured, copied and distributed to the ends of the earth. Don't like that, too bad. Some people don't like gravity either.

I got pulled over when a cop saw me leaving a bar where I had 1 drink. He was pissed I passed the field sobriety test so he took me to the station and had me blow in the breathalyser. Your only supposed to blow a fixed amount, once, into the machine. He made me keep blowing till it hit the legal limit, declared me drunk and put me in jail. Fortunately he was lazy and stopped exactly at the limit. The breathalyser had an analog scale with no mirror behind the pointer. I thought the judge was going to cite the cop for perjury from the smoke coming out his ears when the cop said, with a straight face, that he always read the meter with his right eye. Case dismissed.

Comment Just fix it. (Score 1) 671

I always just run opcrack (assuming it's win, it always is), give myself admin rights, and fix anything I find "wrong" with the setup. I assume I can do anything that I can do, if they didn't want it done they would have made it not do-able. I have never been challenged or questioned. Sometimes IT changes my rights back to less then admin and I have to open it back up, but no big. If they can keep me out they are welcome too, if not I will set it up how I like. I don't get malware and i don't DL anything dangerous, and with 30+ years experience I figure I probably know more about net safety then they do anyway. And if not, they should have done a better job of securing the machine.

Past experience posting this philosophy tells me the IT security guys will jump all over my bad. As always, fuck them. If you can't keep me out don't complain about what I change. If you knew what I needed for a usable system I wouldn't have to go to the minor effort needed to set it up properly.
