Sounds like the the 2nd E in embrace-extend-extinguish methodology. MS did that with HTML, Java, and other technologies. I don't know about the other technologies, but HTML is a mess.
as if the Europeans just sat around doing nothing while the brave Americans did all the fighting.
I didn't say that and you know it. As a matter of fact, I don't know anyone that thinks that. Perhaps you should improve you reading skills since nowhere, in any of my posts, have I disrespected any of the WWII participants. If you'll go back and read what I originally responded to, you'll find t2t10 said:
You could also mention WW2 but we paid you back for that in 2006
You can repay money and material but you can't repay lives. I don't know about you but I'll forever be thankful for all the lives given to purchase my freedom.
I do have a hardware raid question. If you have a raid array running on brand ABC controller and the controller dies, can you replace the controller with brand XYZ? Do they use the same on-disk format? I honestly don't know.
I know with software raid I can re-boot with an additional drive and add it to the array while everything (httpd, ftpd, etc.) is running. If a drive drops offline, I can bring it back online with one command and no re-boot. Also, there's DRDB.
I agree with you there. However, would the Soviet Union have survived without aid from the US.
A quote from that page:
Joseph Stalin, during the Tehran Conference in 1943, acknowledged publicly the importance of American efforts during a dinner at the conference: "Without American production the United Nations could never have won the war."[18]
Could we, at least, say the that the US presence in Europe after the war was a strong deterrent to communism? I've seen a lot of footage on WWII; enough to realize the devastation in France and other countries. They were left very weak economically and militarily.
My outrage was against CmdrPony's assertion: "The whole world would be much saner, happier and peaceful place without US." I hoping that he's in the minute minority.
Obama is corrupt, but you would still vote for him instead of Ron Paul who wants to cut taxes, get rid of income tax, cut departments that don't serve a purpose, and cut overseas military spending?
You could also mention WW2 but we paid you back for that in 2006, so thanks for the loan but it doesn't mean we have to kiss your 1%'s asses for all eternity.
Really? How much was all the US blood that was shed worth, you pompous troll?
The 9,000 or so that are based in the UK are not needed for any defence
Then please tell your government to tell my government to send them home. We'll save some money.
The whole world would be much saner, happier and peaceful place without US.
under Nazi rule! And yes, I will play this card. The world didn't like the US policy of isolationism during World War II. We were trying to mind our business and stay out of everyone elses. (I'm not saying that this was the correct position.) Do you really think that after WWII the European countries would not have fallen to communism one-by-one if the US had not had a presence in Europe? And now that you are safe you don't want us around. Talk about hypocrisy!
Now hating the US and its influence seems to be the craze. The US gets a lot of things wrong like IP patents but we're not totally with positive qualities.

I see you have a temper and a limited vocabulary.
why not just extend it and screw the committee?

Now, go twist someone else's words.

Raid 1 (mirroring) helps. If you lose a drive you're still up. What OS are you using?
So when you need yesterday's version of a file, or a file you have deleted, RAID 1 helps you how, exactly?
I didn't say anything about yesterday's file. I was replying to:
This week I lost a 500GB drive. ... The system was down for nearly three days.
I agree with you there. However, would the Soviet Union have survived without aid from the US.

If you want to start looking at numbers then WW2 was basically Germany vs. Russia, everything else was a sideshow.
Re-writing history I see. Ever heard of D-Day? BTW, there were two theaters in WWII. Russia didn't do squat in the Pacific.
Look into find's -delete operand.
find ~/emacs.d -type f -name '*.elc' -delete
Raid 1 (mirroring) helps. If you lose a drive you're still up. What OS are you using? Raid on Linux is very easy.
Get Facebook, Wiki(m|p)edia, Youtube, and Twitter to go dark for a day.
I say you have it backwards.
Let Capital Hill go dark for a day. A week would be better. Give them a taste of what they're trying to legislate.

Did you listen to the video? It has nothing to do with Ron Paul. I think you missed my point.
A quick Google search turned up this article about an MS treatment that costs $30,000 per year (no per dose cost listed).
I knew MicroSoft was an infection but thought it only cost about $120 per seat.

Obviously you haven't heard this
eventually only signed applications from the Windows App Store run.

You probably don't even live in your Mom's basement. :-)
tracking from left to right across the sky/map
Wait, I confused. I'm facing West; from left to right? Ah, forgot: this is summer 2012.
I imagine them kangaroos don't take kindly to being hog tied while you apply the glue?
So, does the sun rise in the West or does you day progress from evening 'til morning?
So when they say "summer 2012" do they mean Jan/Feb 2012 or Nov/Dev 2012?
You live on the bottom side of the earth, don't you? How come you guys don't fall off?

Frankly if you don't want to be mapped, don't broadcast SSID.
