I admit it, I blew it on the journalling point. And you're right on the money about defragmenting. Here's a point another poster made to me: if your drives are IDE and not SATA, the journalling in NTFS might not always recover after a crash, which explains what happened to the PCs in my office (corrupted registries, etc). That's interesting, isn't it? That the drive type might affect the outcome?

I learn something every day here.

Journal Journal: The DEATH! Of poor Crazyphilman...

I have considered this at length. Having had this account for many years, and occasionally posted drunkenly, and sarcastically, and trollishly, I think it might be about time for me to move on to a new, clean account and sever all ties with this one. I shall bid my anonymous crazyphilman identity farewell, and let it fade into obscurity.

Consider this a sort of account suicide, while I move on to fresher pastures and start anew.

You really have no idea what a symbiotic relationship is. "Helpless without a specific entity" is quite different from "needing assistance." The point is that a fetus is NOT its own entity until it can survive outside of its mother. After that, it's no longer symbiotic. Though babies are certainly quite helpless, the care need not come from a specific person.

Furthermore, where the fuck do you derive "crippled persons should be sacrificed" from "fetuses are not their own entity?" These are two completely different and unrelated statements. You're right that the first one makes no sense. You're wrong that this has anything to do with the abortion debate.

Incidentally, if a crippled person WANTED to be "sacrificed," I believe he should be given the same options -- and counseling -- as a potential mother seeking abortion. I think it's fucking COLD that we force the crippled to burden their families and insurers if they don't want to be. It's why I have a "living will" saying KILL my ass.

I wish there was some way to mass-add my freaks as friends. Just so that, in the future, I will see the green light above their nickname and be obliged to agree with them no matter what their opinion is. I realize that it's sort of my job as a discrete thinker to play devil's advocate with the slashdot community, and occasionally call into question the wisdom of bashing Microsoft as the worst company in America while Walmart and telecoms perform far worse atrocities to their customers every

Journal Journal: Long days...

Journal by dasmegabyte on Thursday March 04, 2004 @01:01AM

The days are longer when you're busy and gently pressed. Sometimes you don't accomplish everything you mean to, due to setbacks or occasional daliances. I mean, I didn't even get to make an off-topic reply to an Autopr0n post bashing his amazingly shitty website.

Shit. If I keep busy like this, that asshole's going to think he runs the place.
