Comment on The Irrelevance of Microsoft by Alex

I have no problem with positive contributions by Microsoft. Their contributions to the AJAX technique that makes Web 2.0 possible is appreciated. It’s only their products and business practices that stifle innovation and competition that I have a problem with. They’re welcome to put as much of their software under the GNU license as possible.

Comment on The Irrelevance of Microsoft by not a ms lover

very happy but not very accurate realization. Dig deeper…. You can start with studying the butterfly effect theory or the history of computer science to realize the true relevance of MS to our lives. There are just a few software developing empires like MS that build the future of the technology, forget their broken Windows that you are not using anymore
See the fast growing technology is being build on top of their ideas, and as the result of their visions. I am not a MS lover, neither a MAC lover but finally could convince myself to appreciate what both have done and are doing instead of thinking which one is better, so I buy their products

And forget, please, “conservatism,” please. It will not “save” us because it has been, operationally, de facto, Godless and therefore irrelevant. Secular conservatism will not defeat secular liberalism because to God both are two atheistic peas-in-a-pod and thus predestined to failure. As Stonewall Jackson’s Chief of Staff R.L. Dabney said of such a humanistic belief more than 100 years ago:

“[Secular conservatism] is a party which never conserves anything. Its history has been that it demurs to each aggression of the progressive party, and aims to save its credit by a respectable amount of growling, but always acquiesces at last in the innovation. What was the resisted novelty of yesterday is today .one of the accepted principles of conservatism; it is now conservative only in affecting to resist the next innovation, which will tomorrow be forced upon its timidity and will be succeeded by some third revolution; to be denounced and then adopted in its turn. American conservatism is merely the shadow that follows Radicalism as it moves forward towards perdition. It remains behind it, but never retards it, and always advances near its leader. This pretended salt bath utterly lost its savor: wherewith shall it be salted? Its impotency is not hard, indeed, to explain. It is worthless because it is the conservatism of expediency only, and not of sturdy principle. It intends to risk nothing serious for the sake of the truth.”

Our country is collapsing because we have turned our back on God (Psalm 9:17) and refused to kiss His Son (Psalm 2).

Comment on One Terabyte by Alex

Alex — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 02:29:46 +0000

I’ve got about 2 terabytes right now – the 300Gb+250Gb from above and have added a 750Gb and a 500Gb. Add the 160Gb internal on my Mac and I’ve got just under 2Tb, and that’s not counting the 300Gb spread out across 6 bare drives.

I only have two of the four cases above. One broke down and I don’t know where the other one is.

Comment on Two Million Jobs Lost by David Ashley

I read somewhere that WWI, before the US got involved, was winding down in a big stalemate. A truce would have been reached. But Wilson decided to involve the USA in the conflict, and that prolonged the war, drastically increased the death toll, and paved the way for ruinous war reparations that demoralized the German people, paving the way for a Hitler to take power…

It’s nice to see more people becoming aware the business as usual is simply not possible anymore these days!

Comment on More GOP Hypocrisy by Alex

Why not? She’s the Republican version of Hillary Clinton. I’d love for her to run in 2012, 2016, and every four years hence
