Submission + - Sociopath Scoffs Internet Infamy (msn.com)

Narnie writes: Follow up to yesterday's story of a PR rep's lack of professionalism. Kyle Orland provides a follow up interview with Paul Christoforo after a simple email chain escalated into internet infamy. N-Control official response to Paul Chrostoforo's actions can be found here. Kotaku.com even has a whole section devoted to covering the entire ordeal. I for one found myself caught following the news releases and in awe of the combined load forced on penny-arcade's servers from slashdot, reddit, digg, kotaku, and other news sites covering the story.

Let's also point out that before the colonist, there were expeditions that came to the Americas and returned to Europe with their evidence that it could support a colony. So... perhaps there should be a round-trip mission to Mars to survey how fucking hard it would be to live on that rock.

I don't know what's taught in US schools these days, but it was clear during my education that Christopher Columbus did not sail on the Mayflower and give grace during the first Thanksgiving.

Comment Re:The "Moon": A Ridiculous Liberal Myth (Score 1) 68

Clearly the liberals sent the moon back in time after creating it. JFK meant it was time to send techs to the moon and start up the spy circuits. It took 6 landings to fire everything up and fix all the broken hardware. Since then it has only had software upgrades. That's why Obama wants to go back to the moon, to provided it with much needed hardware upgrades.

What is unfortunate, Facebook might be willing to sell this data to 3rd parties without your consent... as your friends/coworkers/family have already consented to releasing the contact information for you. Even without Facebook selling it, it's only a data breach away from some the unscrupulous hands.

Comment Re:I am windows free and proud (Score 1) 417

I almost fit your ideal case: Linux at home, OSX at work (admin for VCD department at local university), and my wife is on OSX (iMac and a dell hackintosh). But I bump into windows occasionally... ie: user boots the iMac into Win7 to print to the large format printer, VM of XP64 on my linux box for various apps I hardly use (quicken), and Win7 on a computer hooked to my TV for DVDs/netflix/amazon/hulu/games. I know I could get the TV computer to work with linux but my wife would complain because she expects it to 'just work' all the time. Anyway, I don't really get to use that computer as it is dominated by my wife and daughter.
