So you clearly have the brains and aptitude to figure out how to arrange for a pre-paid box to end up shipped.
It's not that I can't figure out how to ship a box, it's that where I live, shipping out a box is a huge inconvenience.

And this is relevant because?
Getting home from work at 1 AM is relevant because that's when my availability starts, at the earliest.

Why the hell would you need to take time off work for this? This is the sort of thing I could manage to take care of in under a minute, without going out of my way.
When the nearest town is 20 minutes away, no it's not something I could take care of in "under a minute". Where I am the post office doesn't pickup packages at the door. I'd have to drive into town, which is a 20 minute trip one way.

Why the hell would you need to take time off work for this? This is the sort of thing I could manage to take care of in under a minute, without going out of my way.
I'd have to take off of work because it would be about a 45ish minute task during post office hours, while I'm usually working. See, not everyone lives in the city like I'm assuming you do.

Hell, I could walk into where I work, leave it with reception and say "company shipped me an X by mistake, they're sending a courier to pick it up", and they wouldn't bat an eye.
Must be nice to have an office and a receptionist. I have neither.

I could leave it with my neighbor. I could ask a friend who goes by a courier on his daily commute to drop it off for me.
Yeah, let's just ask my "neighbor" to take 45+ mins of their time because some company screwed up.

Let me guess... if you tried any of these exceedingly complicated solutions, the receptionist, neighbor and friend would all go off on you about how they work 70+ hours a week, and don't have 5 minutes to spend on a favor since their time is very precious to them, and why should they lift a finger for anybody but themselves anyway? In fact, they ought to invoice you for the time you wasted just asking them to help out? And besides, if the company doesn't want to send a courier to your house at 2am on a sunday morning, well then clearly they can fuck off. Pathetic.
Not everybody has the same living conditions as you do. I've sacrificed some conveniences in exchange for other lifestyle benefits. Bottom line is that if you ship me something on error, and want it back the onus is on you, NOT me. I'm not going to sit around waiting for you to pick it up, and I'm not going to lose an hour of pay and burn $8 in gas just to return some package that you sent me that I didn't ask for. Even if they paid the postage, I'd still be out ~$30 for their mistake just by taking the time/gas to return the package.

Yeah, it is a big deal. I work two jobs, 65-70 hours a week. The little spare time I have is *very* precious to me. Also, I usually get my mail when I get home from work... at 1 AM. Why the hell should I have to take off of work and lose pay or give them some of my free time because they screwed up? If they're willing to pick it up at my convenience, they can stop by at 2 AM on Sunday morning, otherwise they can F off.

I don't see how this is a benefit. So you need a desktop to run RDP to connect to virtualized desktop? Since you have to buy a PC for the user to physically sit in front of anyways, why not just run everything on that desktop to begin with? The only real benefit I can see is saving time "re-imaging" the base machine when the end user surfs to www.virus-and-malware-website.com, and frankly the I can't see that overcoming the cost of renting/owning hardware to provide virtual desktops. In terms of data security and portability, I have a laptop with a docking station at the office and the HD is encrypted with PGP, the key is required at boot.

Red Hat will have everything switched to their version of linux, Oracle will have everything switched over to their db, and Google will data-mine it all.

Sounds More like an internal compromised machine. Use a live Linux CD, shutdown all other devices on your network except one PC. This includes phones tablets PCs etc. Reboot that remaining PC with the Linux CD. Reset the Mac address on your router to get a new IP. At that point you can be 100% sure that you don't have a compromised machine. If the flooding stops a machine is compromised, dimes to donuts that's the cause.

It's all about ass-covering.... until it backfires. Seriously, they are a school, not the Internet police. On top of that, I think court wise this could actually make them *more* vulnerable. Say the firm they hire *does* tell them about something, and action isn't taken. Now the school had a written report sent to the administrators and didn't do enough, at least that's how it would be framed by a suing attorney. I think that scenario is a lot more damning than simply taking the position that: "We are a school, we are responsible to educate kids, not keep track of their Facebook updates".

Actually it just makes me want to ask, "why don't you secure your shit better.... from the Chinese?"

A positive feedback loop sounds great... in my bank account!

So most people that watch say... a music video... are depressed or anxious?

Sounds legit.

The idea that, "there's a lot more to dieting than simply reducing your calorific intake and exercising regularly", is garbage. That's all that controlling your weight boils down to. You could stick me in a room full of ice cream and pizza, as long as I don't eat excess calories I won't gain weight. All I see is an article essentially shifting the blame off of the person in control with the good-ole, "it's not your fault", line. Bull-crap. If you're overweight it IS your fault.

If you lack the will power to control your eating, that's on you. Quit with the excuses, accept reality, and do something about it... Or don't... I don't have a personal stake in your health either way. You'll be the one on the autopsy slab at 55 from a heart attack, not me.

EVERYONE has faith.

Even the atheists.

You have _faith_ that the sun will come up tomorrow. That is "grounded faith". You can't prove it until AFTER the event happens, at which point it becomes FACT.

First, I don't have faith. How the F can you make a blanket statement that everyone has faith? I'm an agnostic that feels that when comparing all different explanations on the existence/non-existence of a god and take into consideration actual evidence, has reasoned that the atheists are most likely correct. However, until I absolutely without refute know, I don't actually know.

Second, I don't have "faith" that the sun will come up tomorrow. I have an expectation that it will come up tomorrow based on scientific information. We have an estimate of the Sun's mass and composition. We also have a general idea of how much hydrogen is left for fusion to helium and how long the consumption of this fuel will take. The fact that I feel that the sun will rise tomorrow isn't faith, it's rooted in scientific calculation. The two are entirely different.

Not sure what you are on about spending $1000 for 25% more performance. I have a cheap $22 CM212+ cooler, that's a pretty far cry from $1000. The gains are absolutely worth it, I have a 2500K that has a stock speed of 3.3 GHz, it's overclocked to 4.5 GHz, or about a 36% increase.

$22 for 36% more performance is absolutely worth it, maybe not for gaming now, but it's definitely useful for other tasks.

Personally, I do a decent amount of encoding video files, and the speed increase is absolutely time saving. I encode roughly 5-6 ~10 min. 1080P videos into H264 a day. The overclocking saves me about 45-50 minutes a day in encoding time. That's nothing to sneeze at.

Contrary to popular belief, violence is the solution, If you are sure you know who it is, go to town on them. Give me a baseball bat and 5 minutes with any cocksucker that steals my shit, and he'll wish he didn't. Sure you might have my laptop, but I just knocked out all of your teeth and broke your legs. Fair trade.

It's pretty easy to automate a bunch of off switches. ;)
