Just because you can't get into it doesn't mean it sucks, just that you have a different taste.

Not just that, but here are discussions about problems some people might encounter and the possible causes and solutions or just helpful hints.
I use Slashdot as a resource, not as my main newsfeed about updates.
I never made any of those claims, since I am not an american that's not where my first thoughts go and since I am not religious, the jesus thing does not apply to me either. I'll assume you brainfarted for a moment.
Yet being the operative word.
The thing Snowden revealed was a shitload bigger than what Mannning did.
Most of my users can barely open their email, I am not kidding.
I train them to screenshot and mail the error message, this way I have found is the fastest to get the problem solved.
YMMV
And Presto, the printer wasn't connected to the USB port because the driver conflicts with something else on the machine and now the user can't work at all.
Guess who will get the blame for that one, not the person connected stuff to the computer without permission.
This is exactly why the first point in the article complains about people bypassing the Helpdesk is a thing that annoys sysadmins so much, there are procedures that people don't follow.
Not just this, but personally I want to know what is being done on our PC's, for the simple reason, if it causes another problem (for the user or for the network), if I have the knowledge of what has been done, I can take that into account for the solving of problems.
If you have a question about a password reset, then it is cheaper to go through the Helpdesk, this is not about arrogance (for most anyway), let the sysadmin solve the tough problems, let him update his hard and software.
You don't ask a brainsurgeon about a pimple.
Or the Lemon party, seriously, those guys have the weirdest ideas about politics ever, google it.
Traffic laws should only be changed if things aren't working out safetywise.
Here in the Netherlands a traffic accident with bicycles/scooters is actually quite rare, so here we are doing fine.
A bigger problem is people using their cellphone while driving their car.
I can totally understand that, here in the Netherlands however, us scooter drivers often have to share the bicycle path by law.
You seem to have no idea about dutch traffic laws.
While driving on the road, I will come up to a sign that says that I have to move myself and my scooter to the bicycle path, probably because it was deemed that the following road situation is too hazardous for the scooter.
And please don't call me names, I haven't been rude to you.
Here we have signs like this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uZh1eqAvzak/T7Pl3mWBfLI/AAAAAAAAAj0/2PgDN807HkM/s1600/Brom-fiets+bord.png
On these bicyclepaths I am not allowed to drive on the road.
In the Netherlands, we drive our scooters on the bicycle path a lot of the time (at least for the part where I pass the cars). So I am not breaking any traffic laws
Air pollution is really making us pay through the nose.
