If you moan about something, you're not a bad person; if you disagree with things, you are not a troublemaker; if you ask for clarification, you are not "Tearing it down." You are an individual with higher standards, that's all.

When you quote a reasonably large IT quote, and they email you back asking for model numbers, what that means is they want you to use your expertise to put together a solution so they can then take all your hard work and punt it around.
That's a black mark against them, then.

Aha! Now your reply makes more sense. I hadn't initially seen the comment from @tpheine so your response did come across as a bit odd.

New Symbiote malware infects all running processes on Linux systems

Threat analysts have discovered a new malware targeting Linux systems that operates as a symbiote in the host, blending perfectly with running processes and network traffic to steal account credentials and give its operators backdoor access.

So I generally have two coffees in the morning before 8 am, a cup of tea around 9:30 am, another cup of tea at about 2 pm, and maybe another tea around 8 pm, so in theory, it shouldn't bother me not having a tea. Must be the thought of not being allowed for 24 hours?
