I mean… A shocking number of minorities voted for him, so at least some voted for the leopard eating faces party.

That would require religion to be correct and its god to actually do anything. Neither of those things are true.

Depends on the workload, really. 120 users using small services? probably. 120 users sharing large files or bandwidth heavy stuff? Doubt it. Also a lot of enterprise hardware is about reliability. Multiple PSUs, NICs, more robust hardware for constant load/network traffic, etc.

Sure, a gaming rig can handle it until it can’t. Another question is what happens when the box crashes? Is the business down until a new PC is built and restored from backups?

A small business can probably afford two PCs, but scaling up and up eventually becomes a lot of trouble and space.

Satire must be done with tact and a directed purpose. Otherwise it just becomes another example of what not to do.

• paraphrasing someone I forgot who

Most religious people don’t understand that it’d also be bad if their religion was in charge.

Nah, they’re even worse because they’re the initiatiors of it. Who is more in the wrong in a fight? The guy who throws the first punch, or the guy who punches back?

I guess my point is: By the time we’d be able to travel that far, we’d have the ability to make all such observations without showing up on the planet.

Though on the other side of the coin, if interstellar travel were so ubiquitous, who’s to say all aliens would behave in such hands-off ways? Maybe any aliens that would visit Earth would be the equivalent to rednecks driving out in to the woods to shoot squirrels. Or in a more innocuous analogy, bird watching without binoculars.

I think people are saying such extreme things because it IS that far for some this day and age. We ARE at the last option in some cases,

I would hope anyone saying as much keeps it at a case by case basis, but it is purely ignorance that drives you to think it is not true for anyone.

History proves that naive view … very naive. Should the US never joined in the war? Should the Poles and French simply rolled over to the Nazis? You seem to be saying yes, which is simply pathetic beyond ignorance.

Yea, true. There are also plenty of external DNS servers, so pretty hosed anyways without controlling the devices they use directly.

More left than twitter, inept fool.

DuckDuckGo doesn’t hide your IP. Your IP is a fundamental networking number used to route traffic to your computer. It can also change for many home internet service providers over time, so it’s a bit stupid of Reddit to use them, though they might be using more advanced fingerprinting mechanisms and merely saying IP.

Oh, so EVERYONE who fights in a war is a murderer? Nobody was the good guys in ANY conflict that involved death?

Your ignorance is astounding.

Wrong. Completely wrong. Look up “honor killings”. Then learn that it is legal and condoned in some places.

Learn nuance. They’re speaking to the Paradox of Tolerance, not calling for a blind genocide…

Not to back up any specific beliefs/statements from OP, but the Paradox of Tolerance does exist. The woefully intollerant should not be tolerated. It just depends on how you “don’t tolerate” them that determines how upsetting of a response someone has.

For example, just literally disenfranchising them might be enough … or at least could have been. Though after the intolerant gain enough power, there remains very, very few functional options. It’s literally all of the lessons that came out of WW2…

“first they came for the socialists…”

He still shouldn’t be able to circumvent a solid password. Sure, if the cell has signal, the home wifi settings won’t matter, but…

Nahh, any species able to come close to interstellar travel would be able to observe us from afar. We can already take good data on other planets’ atmospheres. It’s not going to be too much longer (probably still past our lifetimes, but) before we can take spy satellite quality photos of the surface.

Sure, some alien species might prefer to be more hands-on, but I’d hope they’d also recognize the destructive power humans have and stay away; It’s a lot easier to break something than to invent it, and few things remain even recognizable after being hit by bigger military weapons. A lot of older movies/media relied on that fact to make the other thing seem so fantastically strong. Like the alien ship shrugging off a nuke in Independence Day.

Where do you think those ideals came from? The US wasn’t as big back then…
