    The gun thread

    And this is exactly why I hate shooting that Tula garbage: Yes, the primer fell right the fuck out after a FTF.  I actually had to just sit and stare at this for awhile in pure disbelief.

    SSH Protection

    Why are you so bent on being the new community troll?

    The Confederate battle flag.

    Ah, but see, that's just it.  You *don't* have a right to assualt others in this country.  In fact, you're actually pissing on their "free speech" (using the phrase very loosely here to move things along). And while technically burning the US flag is a crime, it's a very minor one unless there...

    SSH Protection

    Trivial for folks using hardware or KVM.  OpenVZ - SSH brute scans can easily take a container offline - it doesn't matter if the connection is 'immediately aborted'.  Is more relevant to stability than security, yes, but that hardly means it should be ignored.  And as KuJoe mentioned, if you...

    The Confederate battle flag.

    This country was founded by slave owners that wanted to stop paying tribute to the monarch across the pond.  If you *really* want to get pedantic with it, you could even say that this country was founded on the same principles that the flag burners are exercising - freedom from a governing body...

    SSH Protection

    Changing the SSH port actually does give more benefit than just 'security through obscurity'.  Not wasting resources on SSH Brutes is one example.  So yes, using a non-standard port should be part of everyone's basic SSH security.

    Do you use a VPN for your normal internet browsing?

    Always-on, across all platforms and devices.  Aside from operational security, I can very easily check to see if any of my systems are connecting somewhere they shouldn't be.

    Where exactly did Jonny come from?

    Ah, but you could've simply ignored the comments that bothered you, and made a post relevant to the original topic that captured your interest.  After all, I was just here checking threads, and could've ignored the thread - but I thought I would respond.

    Ah, but if you're going the "to the point of being negligible" route, then it's pure pedantry.  Which has no place in a reasoned discussion in the first place.  But as you said, personal limits are where it gets really interesting.  We end up cycling back to my 'medication' example. Suppose...

    Oh, it's not great on learning environments.  But, therein lies the crux of the entire issue - he was focused on extremes.  His initial stance was that *any* alcohol was a serious inhibition.  And when those of us old enough to know better offered correction, such as positing that having a beer...

    No, alcohol does not affect a person until it's at the brain.  Barring ridiculously lethal ingestion, of course. And no, my logic the entire evening has remained constant.  You're the one more bent on a holy crusade.  But like you said, you're done for the evening, remember?  Go back to WHT...

    One serving of alcohol is fully absorbed into the blood stream within 30 minutes to 2 hours after intake. This is because the body can metabolize about 0.25 ounces of alcohol per hour. [source] Oh damn, it looks like I can source URLs as well. Very well, I'll leave you with a closing thought...

    Uh..no, alcohol, typically a consumable liquid, is processed by your liver.  If you have an IV tap and you're spiking it with alcohol, you would be dead.  Regardless of the amount. Perhaps instead of reading the hilights, you should read the entire article next time.  You are in dire need of...

    "Sourced a link" :P  That's great. Ok, I gave you a chance to walk away while you could.  Let's break alcohol down to it's base function - it's a toxin that inhibits brain activity. How about those folks with legitimate psych issues?  Severe shyness, can't handle being in public, etc etc. ...

    If you had ethical and moral values, you'd know that trying to force your INEXPERIENCED opinion on others is.. well, unethical. Now that we've established you don't actually know what you're talking about, and completely rely on third hand knowledge, we can dismiss this line of discourse...

    Just answer me this, textbook - have you ever had alcohol yourself?  Because it's becoming more and more obvious that all you know is from fourth grade DARE classes. You seriously think one or two drinks is enough to actually impact the average person?  No amount of quoting will ever prove you...

    It doesn't relate at all.  You're biased in the wrong direction - rather than blaming smoking for your family problems, you should be blaming your бабушка.  That's like saying guns are the problem, when it's the people pulling the trigger. Ask any professor, eh?  Cool, I taught a few...

    ...right, so this isn't about professionalism at all then.  Glad we cleared that up.

    No, the point he's missing is that drinking != drunk.

    You should research the Ballmer Peak. But on a more serious note - if you were old enough to drink socially (not getting shitfaced as some frat party - having dinner/drinks with friends or a working meeting at a pub), you'd know that people don't just have a few glasses of wine and suddenly go...
