sure, put a gun to my head and i won't have a problem with a lot of things. on the other hand, i'm going to avoid jobs that say they need such things.

now you are just being lazy because there is no such thing as an internal server if you connect it to a network.

not all open source code is bulletproof but microsoft has proven their code is swiss cheese. so why would anyone willingly use a MS product that for something that needs to be secure? when people are shooting at you, do you want to be wearing body armor or cheese?

the basic problem they have is that they have three times the workload than a few years ago. shouldn't this mean they should have three times the staff to properly handle the workload? "O NOZ DAT COST MONIEZ!!!11" is not a valid excuse because the students are paying the university which in turn is paying for staff!

i opted out by leaving their entire network. fuck them and their unquenchable greed.

"Outlook not so good."

so there are 500 patents and at least one of the patent owners is an insufferable greedy asshole? what's next, are bears going to start shitting in the woods too?!

At this rate I'll finally be able to have my entire music collection on an iPod without having to compress my music in that terrible FLAC format. FLAC is a "lossless" format but you can totally hear which bits have been squished into the file for too long! That's why I decompressed all my files and let them sit for a week, so that the bits can breathe.

tomorrow's email from management:

because solar panels dont generate weapons-grade plutonium?

slashdot devs. please, add a volume slider to the video player! you are the only ones without it and sucks having to adjust your system volume because of one website decided a volume slider was too much to ask for!

unless they are going to start buying back CPUs, this development means very little.

there are very few reasons to keep flash installed/enabled. if you must have it, use flashblock but chances are you can just disable/remove it completely. if some site still uses flash to play video, leave a complaint in the comments. those that haven't switched to html5 yet will do so soon enough.

if you still have java plugin installed, you better have a good reason because no (sane) sites use that shit.

a fatal flaw with these faster printers is that they require gravis (a downward forces) to work. gravity is in very short supply here and no, spinning the station is not an option, i got in trouble for just doing a barrel roll!

a) Hollywood/media makes guns glamorous
b) it doesn't affect us personally (until it does)
c) there are other issues that are affecting us
d) our leaders have no interest in the matter (with rare exception).
e) out political system is broken

basically, the status quo is really difficult to change because it's controlled by groups of people that only change when members of them die.
