I recall the scene in Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale wherein the handmaids (oppressed women stripped of status and freedom in a dystopic religious-right-run future) go to a huge prayer meeting in a stadium. As part of the events a man is brought out and identified as a rapist. The mob of handmaids then literally tear him into very small pieces. But, of course, he was not a rapist at all, just a political dissident.

I must see that! Not for the gore...but you know. lol

The movie ate it. I think it showed the buildup but faded to black before the dude was eviscerated. Atwood's book is better.

I also liked the part about how the main handmaiden and her boyfriend were in sight of the Canadian border in Vermont on the way out when they got nabbed. Before November 7th I was afraid that part was going to be real.

What you were doing there seems to me to be about as useful and beneficial as poking a dead carcass.

Let's compare. He wasn't violating the letter of the law, but he was probably violating the spirit of the law. I think you, in your thread, weren't violating the letter of the law, but I think there's a fair chance you were violating the spirit of the law. The man in the article you first quoted takes pleasure in the results of his poking and prodding, and I think you take pleasure in the results of your poking and prodding.

Didn't you expect that thread to eventually be closed from the first moment you opened it?

What is this needless antagonism towards staff buying you, other than self gratification?

Thanks!!

Wow. I ran "sh /etc/rc" at the Unix prompt like it said. Then it ran a disk scan. It's finding some I/O errors and is now rebuilding something.

Rhut rho.

Now it says "volume cannot be repaired" and then powered off. That's no good! Well, at least I have something to go on.

Thanks! It really looks like the hard drive I guess.

Since you can get to a Unix prompt, try running fsck on the bad partition. It is probably disk0s3, but you should check that.

You may also want to get a copy of Disk Warrior and rebuild the directory structure.
