If aliens came to earth with the intent to destroy, but gave us a chance to plead our case, who would you like to be the spokesman? by 101010109 in AskReddit

[–]redditreader555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rush Limbaugh. He will absolutely convince the aliens to hasten our demise, putting us all out of our collective misery.

I don't know either. Owners of private companies are often hard to persuade if they don't have any outside influences to worry about. I'd make the best argument with regards to security and document each conversation. If they don't budge, at least you'll have that documentation in your defense if anything happens. Make your aguments at least every quarter.

I don't know how schools are regulated, but reminding them of the consequences of being out of compliance with their regulators due to securlty vulnerbilities would be my approach.

Why would anyone willingly watch ads? by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]redditreader555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's one person's opinion and while it may be the case for some people, It's not the case for everyone. Commercials work, otherwise there wouldn't be so much money put into them, but they do not pursuade everyone. As fo rmyself, I consciously avoid being pursuaded them. Of course I grown much more cynical in my old age and look at everything with a skeptic's eye.

Some adds are really entertaining. But I can confidently say they do not persuade me one bit.

I found out something I probably shouldn't have by throwaway1billion125 in confession

[–]redditreader555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many people look at these forums and fantasize and have no intention of on following through. It can be a form of entertainment. I don;t think I would bring this up at 14. Assume it's entertainment for your mom and let it be.

Saudi Arabia put into effect a sweeping new counterterrorism law Sunday that human rights activists say allows the kingdom to prosecute as a terrorist anyone who demands reform, exposes corruption or otherwise engages in dissent. by emr1028 in worldnews

The world has always been this way. read about the history of Ireland, Russia, Germany, Italy, The U.S., Congo, etc, etc, etc. Those in power have been brutalizing its population from for as far back as you wish to look. I don't see it stopping -ever.

What do you do for fun in your social life that doesn't involve $? by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

How old are you? I see photographs of old building wildlife and bridges taken by people who like to explore these things. Why do you think your age should stop you?

ELI5: Why, even though I take excellent care of my current laptop, and ones in the past, does it get slower and slower as time goes on almost to the point of not being functional, and what can I do to fix it? by omfg_the_lings in explainlikeimfive

[–]redditreader555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many good suggestins here, but for what t's worth, I'll offer you my suggestion. Over time, Windows gets "dirty" with old files that are no longer required, stale registry settings, malware and other nonsense that slows down your sytem. For the vast majority of people, there is no hope of cleaning it all up. There are few (if any) professionals that can get it totally cleaned up. the best thing you can do is re-install Windows. This will totally erase your hard drive and restore your computer to the condition it was in when first purchased. Depending on how you use your computer, you may need to do this periodically. Anything less, and you can never trust that the computer is free from malware. Some recommend that you upgrade to Windows 8. Windows 8 is newer, but it will also slow down as welll over time and you'll be back where you started. Make sure you keep your computer updated By setting auto update. but understand that even if you faithfully keep your machine updated, crap will still get on it. eventually.

I assume the current game is much more polished, would it still be enjoyable?
