You seem to be right: no-one's bothered to do a survey.
Even if they had, and I turn out to be wrong, would that make the Islam numbers less worrying?
When was the last time you heard some christian on TV telling the world that they abhorred the attacks and said that they were DEFINITELY NOT christian acts?
But Christian terrorism is very rare in the first world. When Christian terrorism is somewhere near as prevalent as Islamic terrorism, then, you get to make this comparison.
Wikipedia lists serious modern incidents of Christian terrorism in Africa, but I think the problem here is with the media: I'd never even heard of that stuff.
But virtually every Christian condemns abortion clinic bombings, where a terrifying number of global Muslims support terror, Sharia theocracy, death for apostates, punishment for homosexual activity, the abolition of freedom of expression in the name of suppressing images they find offensive, etc.
Far better than spawning nothing but hyped up "web programmers" which is what Microsoft was all about a few years back with all the.Net/mono crap they push on everyone.
I have to agree with the angry AC who commented before me: it's hardly fair to say that.Net is just a web framework. C#/Common Language Infrastructure is pretty great: like another attempt at a JVM, which has worked out really well.
A non-web example: they used C# as the platform for indi games on the Xbox 360, with the XNA framework (I'm not sure about the Xbox One).
The new, Chrome-like Opera is actually really good - it's my 'default' Android browser. It does text-wrapping better than any other Android browser I've tried, which is a really obvious feature, but it seems to be the only one that provides it.
But if you lock-down your Facebook account properly, how can they have any idea if you're using the word 'wasted'? Do they pay Facebook for unlimited access or something?
The article doesn't even think to mention this, and I'm surprised no-one here seems to have mentioned it either.
That I can see it's only ever hinted at, in I explained very clearly that if they did not comply with the conditions I stated that their only other course of action would be to replace or remove my footage from their video.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
See how it uses the word right?
Context: Brit who wouldn't want his own country's strict gun laws changed... but the US constitution seems pretty unambiguous here. That the Second Amendment is inconvenient doesn't mean it's unclear.
I might go with a more exotic language, like Haskell or Mercury. D and Scala aren't as big as C++, but they're not conceptually that different. (That's not to say they're not worthwhile, mind.) Languages like Haskell, Mercury, Prolog, Erlang, are rather more alien.
I guess my real point is that most important isn't terribly precise.
I wonder if they could get Netflix onboard and have a (perhaps incomplete) Netflix cache onboard the aircraft. They've got the technology to enable ISPs to cache their content, after all. (They must have their reasons for not just using nice, cacheable HTTP to distribute encrypted blobs of their content. This is what Steam does, I believe.)
They have power because they have guns and lots of buddies to back them up.
It's very much the latter, and not the former. It's the 'lots of buddies', i.e. the power of the police force, the courts, and the prison system, that give rise to their meaningful 'official powers'. Take away the gun, and nothing really changes. Source: am British.
Technology cannot tell the difference between the police and some random jackass
There's no inherent reason why a machine must be less capable at this than a human.
Because mathematical syntax is always the wrong choice? I'd guess most slashdotters have studied formal logic. I guess you're right though: the most 'technically correct' thing to do is to refer to the fallacy by its name: affirming the consequent.

Steam uses HTTP. It used to use a proprietary protocol, but HTTP enables caching.
In case you missed it: ISIS isn't interested in getting Europe to be friendly and accepting with ordinary Muslims.

See: http://www.pewresearch.org/fac... , http://www.pewforum.org/2013/0... , and virtually any other similar survey.

Where?
That I can see it's only ever hinted at, in I explained very clearly that if they did not comply with the conditions I stated that their only other course of action would be to replace or remove my footage from their video.
Saying something isn't a video-game isn't an insult. Saying chess isn't a sport isn't an insult either.
Here is a relevant YouTube rant arguing the position that a stricter definition of video-games is a good thing.
As if using Flash weren't bad enough, this is a vacuous cloud-computing marketing piece. What a waste of my time.
Thee guys telling me cloud-computing is changing IT culture does nothing to deliver on "How the Cloud Is Changing IT Culture".
Are you not seeing the video? It's Flash-only, unhappily.
The Second Amendment seems pretty clear to me:

You're a idiot.
Correction: an idiot.
Yes we should ban the trains the Nazis used
Today's time-wasting-obtuseness award goes to you. Congratulations.
Interesting trivia, but I hope you're not trying to say that's a reason not to ban it.
Nazis used trains, too. Should we ban trains?
If the host in question serves the ad from its own servers, and doesn't use any Javascript or Flash.
Nowhere near strict enough.
Is the advert obscene? Does it use obnoxious flashing colours?
Its just not politically correct to say so because parent involvement lines up so closely with racial lines. Not exact, but close enough.
I'm guessing you mean in the USA? This isn't generally true in the UK.
It's a car analogy, genius...
A common complaint about Haskell. I don't think it should be promoted as nearly as fast as C, as this can get people's hopes too high.
The reasons Haskell is worth learning aren't performance-related.
JFGI. It's hardly an obscure programming language.
I was thinking Scala sticks-out as being 'not really that obscure'. Would we call Python obscure? Ruby?

youtube/netflix/etc. would be nice
