    Lawyer? Ambulance chaser? What do you mean exactly? There are many kinds of lawyers douche-bag.

    No, the 70MPH limit should serve as a general guide for policy and safety. When you start getting religious about it and turning people in we have obviously reached a disturbing level of absolute bullshit. Same with economic sanctions.

    Agreed, this complete and utter bullshit. The employee deserves to be ostracized and reamed in the media for acting as the police and informing on their fellow citzens.

    It's not about preventing the sales of supercomputers. It is about hurting the general populace so much that they turn on their government. Thus, the reason for sanctions. But, we installed the assholes....so logic is out the window here.

    I don't like being told who I can do business with, period! Fuck sanctions. If I'm on the net and someone wants to buy, I'm selling.

    The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a Zionist circulation from the early 1900's . How does this lend credence to your argument that they are white supremacists? Just wondering. Kind of confusing to see this line of reasoning.

    Hybrids do not taste better and the yield improvement is only a concern for commercial growers. Anyone growing heirlooms for personal consumption is not going to be able to handle the entire yield anyway. Hybrids are not going to make you die a few years earlier. WTF?! The good thing about heirlooms is that a family can collect seeds from the crop and expect the same yield and quality as the initial crop. A good feeling and a lot cheaper. The heirlooms seeds I get from Baker Creek are awesome, and the yields are far from spindly.

    Commercial growers have to use hybrids and GMO or they risk losing their asses.

    No way man. The IDE is not a barrier to entry, it removes barriers in some respects by making the iterations flow easier. Once a project grows to a certain size you are going to spend more time and brain power hunting for functions than actually programming if you do not have and IDE. I stayed away from IDEs for web scripting until I needed the function navigator. I used Geanie until the project outgrew that and then moved to netbeans. Geanie is awesome for small/medium projects by the way.

    I would have a shared hosting account at the very least. Use filezilla and no-install IDE like Netbeans. Do not use the Netbeans built-in FTP unless you want your project hosed.

    Yeah, you are old fashioned. The production oriented carrot-stick method died twenty years ago but still lingers on in certain enclaves populated with fossils such as yourself. I've never had a job that enforced the philosophies you speak of and I would leave instantly, no matter the consequences, if I had to endure that attitude or micromanagement. You have no evidence that says my tinkering is not going to benefit the company. All you see is someone who is not slaving away at an assigned task and your small mind cringes. Fuck off and get some modern management training.

    netbeans is an excellent Java/C++/HTML/JavaScript/PHP/CSS IDE and does not have to be "installed." Unzip and run.

    Flashbacks happen because the events are not integrated. The person who experienced them did not have the emotional or mental framework with which to process them.

    What I find more curious is the people who shot numerous guys in the head when they had no idea why they were really doing it and who now live their life proud of the fact.

    I have met these people, and you would not be able to tell they did this unless they told you. You wouldn't even guess them the type of person who would.
