created by militant atheists

You mean the atheists runing around killing abortion doctors on the command of no god whatsoever, or the atheists blowing themselves up in the name of no higher order?

Or do you mean that the bad things that were not done in the name of a god are the fault of all people that don't believe in gods?

There is no such thing as atheist dogma, so there is nothing for militant atheists to be militant about. There are non-religious dogmas, such as Stalinism. Please explain how all atheists are responsible for, or support these. You know, like how all Catholics support bigotry because they subscribe to Catholocism.

Why should I store any of my media (or other data, for that matter) anyplace else?

There's no good reason to do that. Storage is dirt cheap. If you don't own a real computer you might find it useful. If you aren't storing it on your own system though, you should reconsider calling it 'your' media, because you don't actually possess it.

They wanted to charge me a fee to close my account.

I had a girl say that to me once when I asked to close an account. Wanted 8 bucks as a service charge. I said, "OK, never mind that, just give me all the money." She laughed and complied.

Comment Sony issues (Score 1) 309

I have an issue with all Sony products that I call 'Kiss My Ass syndrome" It seems to apply to all products manufactured by Sony, manifesting itself by my reaction to the concept of investing money in that company, a company that has repeatedly displayed a disdain for it's customers. Nope, done with Sony.

I'm still not confident in Linux's ability to remain stable/repair itself easily without having to frequently re-install.

I don't understand that either. My 76 yo mother uses Linux with no problems, because she isn't net savvy she was always screwing her windows install.

Personally I work with and use windows personally and have for 20 years. Basically the whole run. I'm sure I've had to perform re-installs, but the only times I specifically remember doing that is setup runthroughs on new installations.

Basically both ends of the spectrum heard from.

You will need lots and lots of security guards. "Developing countries" is Liberal-speak code word for "lots and lots of niggers". They're violent and they steal.

I totally agree. Those developing countries are full of crime. You'd think that CIA installed fascist governments would have a better handle on things, but noooo.

US ghettos, same thing, you keep sending the cops in to fuck them over, but they never learn to behave.

Here in Canada we educate our niggers. If it weren't for the colour of their skin, you wouldn't even be able to tell they were an inferior race. Sly bastards.

I built an ISP in 1993, to get on the Internet. There was no other way. Used Linux too. Damn right, fresh out of the box.
When I moved to Ottawa, I got a connection with Rogers. They were pretty good back then. Let me have a dedicated IP, they had a news server. Actually they farmed to Giganews, but that's cool.
It stopped working one day. Man, it just stopped!
Imagine my amusement when I phoned up and the techie (I use the term loosley) told me that you can't get on the Internet with Linux? I had a few choice words for him.
It turns out they switched to DHCP and I lost my static IP. Oh well. Anyway, I don't think the issue has ever come up again. If you can handle Linux, do you really need support from your ISP?
