I'd be on the side of the FBI were it not for all the NSA spying bull that Snowden leaked and setting a precedent that will inevitably be abused.

Huh - I could never be on the side of the FBI, even if only for what possible hackers could do with the information, let alone the government.

Honestly I think "hackers getting a hold of the code" is a remote possibility.

I already mentioned my lack of trust in the gov but there's ways to do it safely, this is not some super secret 007 heist.

Clarity: Not advocating for it, just pointing out some of the FUD that's circling this debate.

Is it just me, possibly not understanding fully, but why would anyone CHOOSE higher blood pressure over higher profit margins?!

Exactly, at first I thought it was trying to say "would you like more money but higher blood pressure too?" and I thought "hell, that's my life now."

Mee too, bit late

Nope

I realize that it didn't change, but allows the reader less chance to read something that's not there, as so frequently happens.

But it adds information that implies something inaccurate. My statement was more clear, it was simply an explanation of the action. Yours adds a conditional that is confusing in its lack of necessity and/or implies that it would only mean it in this case, which is incorrect.

Your way implies that this is a problem with this vendor rather than with this general process.

I was not making assumptions about the vendor in the thread but making a statement about the process. That's the difference.

I must admit MDaemon was the most helpful when checking logs for mail delivery and receiving 😄

@DustinB3403 Oof. That's not good. For the computers and the productivity!

@Breffni-Potter Thanks. We're going to do a full audit of the UK smart content pages. Very much appreciated.

@Breffni-Potter I understand. You want to hear the praise of Continuum OFF of our website. We'd love to hear that as well. I'll share these sentiments with Mary who sits 3 feet away from me 🙂

TL;DR - HGST still rules, everyone else drools.

active partition

I think @scottalanmiller would be the boot partition.

So @Minion-Queen is the BIOS?

My most recent username: JediMasterOdd nets results (mostly from Twitter), and some of my other usernames that I have used are far too common to find me easily.

nadnerB yields a few results in a Google Image search (scrolling required). Just SW and ML though

There are a few people using my IRL name but no actual images of me show up in a Google Image search. A few avatars of mine do though.

@Dashrender Nice!

Given who I work for the title was confusing and alarming 😛

You work for White Star Lines?

No, he's an Olympian... 😛 lol
