Re: An orderly transition would seem sensible
Don't forget graft. With every large, well-funded government program with little oversight there are always local consultants around to collect a share of the funds. Audit trails would reveal who they are and how many of them are friends or family of the Council leadership.

Re: Lies, and convenient lies
OK, lets go there:
In the first clause "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State...", the word "militia" was understood at the time to mean all able-bodied male citizens committed together to defend each other from foreign invaders or a tyrannical government (should the need arise) in order to secure and defend the freedom of the states. The phrase "well-regulated" was similarly understood to be a requirement that these citizens remain armed, trained, and vigilant. don't make the mistake of applying the modern use of "regulation" onto this phrase.
This understanding is enhanced by the second clause, which clause plainly states that citizens have the right to own and carry weapons, and the US government is prohibited from infringing on that right:
"...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Thus, the constitution protects Americans' right to be armed and ready to defend the US and the Constitution, against all aggressors both foreign and domestic.

Re: I hate to say this, but it's sad that there are homo sapiens so f'in stupid
>Somehow, you seem to be labouring under the mistaken impression that this is a conversation that has anything to do with Democrats or Republicans. If you look carefully, you'll see I've said nothing of political parties: I merely pointed out that the problem exists.
You posted the misleading CNN article, which did bring up Political Party. I was commenting on that.

>As far as I can see, the Republicans are the most recent and most prolific offenders regarding voter suppression, particularly when it comes to minorities.
In what way are Republicans suppressing American citizens from voting? You make the claim, please present facts to back it up, not opinions.
And before you bring up Voter ID, keep in mind that those laws don't actually suppress minority voters, and that 77% non-whites actually approve of them.
If you are saying that minorities are unable to get ID because they are too poor or unable to comprehend the need, or need a white person's help to get ID, then this is racist thinking in itself.

My credentials as someone who is willing to look at all factors instead of making assumptions based on a predetermined outcome? Yes.

‘I crashed a rack full of servers with my butt’

Late 90's Netware Gefingerpoken
It was the late 90's, and there was a known condition that would arise on one NetWare 4 server. The workaround, from Novell, was to cold-boot the box. So I roll into that data center at 3AM, still somewhat groggy despite a 75 minute drive, walk to the server, open the door and push in the power button. It was at that exact moment that I realized that my finger was on the button of a nearly identically named server (two transposed letters in the middle of the name). Needless to say, I was now fully awake. I then proceeded to do the one-handed-shutdown boogie from the KVM in the next rack.

Same here, but I was able to find the OID for the Air Inlet Sensors on my servers and I monitor those.
