Comment Computer License (Score 1) 321

Enough of the Word Perfect Users already!

"Take it back to the store, You're too dumb to own a computer" Are these threats now as dangerous or potentially dangerous as operating a motor vehicle?

Training and License? Why not? It couldn't be any worse than it is now. I've literally had a client complaining that he couldn't get his email using Wordpad...

How dumb and negligent do we need people to be before we do something serious about this?

Spam, drive by downloads, malware. Isn't it about time we told the users to smarten up? How much productivity and electricity is wasted because of users dumb mistakes?

I would suggest that these people are not Christians at all. The criteria is significantly higher than what main stream America thinks or even preaches.

Just because you say a prayer and call yourself a Christian.... doesn't mean you are one.

Matthew 7:21-23 21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

Comment Re:The Year of Windows on the Desktop (Score 1) 545

To me, modern Windows has been a breath of fresh air compared to the brokenness of Linux desktops.

AMEN to this.

I gave up on Linux years ago. Too many choices. Too many problems.

Android seems to have it together. One OS, make it consistent and make it work.

The irony is Linux on the desktop has failed where Linux (Android) on a tablet seems to be doing fine.

I live 40 miles from the American border. I have not crossed it in ten years thanks to Patriot and related activites.

I'll pay the pittance for shipping online purchases and the extortion to Canada for "import fees" (wtf happend to free trade?), I'm not setting foot in American if I can help it.

I have my router connected through my ISP "Router/Modem"
I have a Linksys BEFSR81 that I've run for about 7 years. I also had reboot issues until I hooked it up to a better power source. Now it's very stable. On an older circuit in the house, I had to reboot it every week.

I can play World of Tanks and get about 150 ping. I'm happy.

Educate yourself asshole. I RAN a fucking control center controlling over 700 windmills. I logged all the production from these windmills.

I'm pretty sure I know more about this that you unless you're a fucking engineer that specializes in this field.

I'm pretty fucking sure I know exactly when the wind blows, and had the logs to prove it. If you're not over 70, you have no business calling me son, asshole.

Perhaps you should do the math. 5 million dollar windmill @ $10 / mega watt.

How long to pay that off?

Generator or gearbox costs over a million dollars.

The wind here btw is available 90% of the time and they STILL LOSE MONEY.

The only reason they built them was for the green credits that they have since been screwed out of. The whole industry is bullshit. But if you knew anything about it, you'd also know that.
