You should stop talking about the "bridge to nowhere". The Gravina Island Bridge brought up in the 2008 election was never a bridge to nowhere. This was a proposed bridge between a city and the local airport which was to replace a ferry service that could only be used part of the year. The thing is, the person who was fighting the hardest for it in local Alaska politics was Palin, then when she started in national politics, she was the most outspoken against it as it could be framed to look like federal government waste.
I do Powershell stuff for Exchange quite often as part of my job, and no disagreement. It is unintuitive at times and quite clunky, but it is trying to be Visual Studio on the command line (running against remote servers too).
I don't believe that Google Hangouts requires an existing phone number. I signed my son up for a phone number before purchasing a Project Fi/Nexus phone, and it didn't ask me to pay for a phone number, or even provide an existing one.
but it won't stop you from plowing into another plane or a mountain.
Actually, yes it will. automatic collision avoidance systems (both ground and airborne) lare quite common in aircraft these days.
No, it is quite rare, as it is on one model of airplane. Also, it is a backup, the pilot is supposed to do the navigation/altitude changes, but it will do the changes when the pilot doesn't respond.
So, what does any of this have to do with the conversation I was having? Why do you think that what you are saying has any relation to my comment?
ACs comment above is much like APKs constant assertion that because I admitted I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome as a child, I must be brain damaged, which is utter garbage, but that is what some people think. It seems that this ignorance can only be fought with information that proves the contrary.
You didn't disagree with it, but felt you had to come in and trash up the thread because I dared to mention your name, and gave an accurate representation of your behavior.
I have plenty of +5 postings, and it has nothing to do with sock puppets. I actually contribute to the conversation going on, you just spam and shitpost. You will notice I still post at a +2, while you start at 0 and mostly get to a -1, this is not because of some campaign against you as you have claimed previously, but because you add nothing constructive to the conversation.
I have proven many of your points wrong. I have never claimed that you are entirely wrong, you know that some of your points are valid, and I have never claimed otherwise, however, with the costs of memory and computing power so low, why persist in the awful overuse of the hosts file for something it was never designed to handle? The whole reason that dns was invented was because hosts files were never designed to handle over a thousand or so entries. Because of the way the hosts file is processed, it causes severe issues to use it the way you do, and you know it. You persist in using a technology that is only kept around for backwards compatibility when a better technology was invented 33 years ago to replace it.
There is no ignorance involved. They were given a tax rate to pay, and they paid it. Trying to act like they paid no taxes is silly, they paid all the taxes that the local government required them to pay.
Now, should Ireland raise the taxes on corporations to be more in line with other countries? Sure, but why is this suddenly an issue for a single company when there are thousands that do it? There is even a term for it, the double Irish, this is because it is so common in business as to have earned a term to define the procedure.
OH, OK, so you don't get sarcasm. Who is the Autistic here?
WHO HAS THE DIM MEMORY NOW STUPID?
Dunning–Kruger effect indeed. You keep calling me stupid, but you seem to be the one unable to understand basic concepts and keep arguing the same refuted points over and over.
'Brennan’s account number, password and other details''
that is what was responded to, this was AOL, not the FBI that had unencrypted passwords. The FBI needed to reset the password because they don't have unencrypted passwords.
How would we know if there was voter fraud without voter ID laws? How would you tell if someone voted for their family member who decided not to vote?
Just because the incidence of voter fraud after the laws are passed is low, does not indicate the incidence when there is no law.
It does not disenfranchise poorer voters as every voter ID law included free IDs as part of the law. But even if it didn't, you can't cash a paycheck, get welfare, or even buy a beer without an ID, do you really think there is this huge population of voters with no IDs?
Right hand driving makes more sense as most people are right handed and it puts your right hand on the gear shift which is the more agility based control than the steering wheel.
You linked to a post earlier in this same string that absolutely did not say anything of the kind. Keep up the diversion. I am sure no one will notice your prior assertions that I am brain damaged because I have mild autism.
Considering that you argued with me over what a DNSBL was, and why your hosts files would bypass them, no I don't believe that someone disproved you before me. What does it matter anyways though, as I still disproved the assertion, despite you arguing over your lack of knowledge of email systems and what a DNSBL is.
You have 100s of your inability to understand basic computer concepts bookmarked, I know, you keep bringing them up and trying to act like I failed somehow, even though I show quite clearly where you are wrong. That isn't technical mistakes, it is mistaking your knowledge for being higher than it actually is.
Again with the proof request? I think that is proof enough of your lack of IQ, since you still haven't provided proof of your superior intelligence, it must be false because PROOF!
I work for a fortune 500 too, what does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Working for a company that makes lots of money doesn't make you smart or right, it just means you passed an interview. Fortune 500 companies hire many people, not always the best of the best like you try to use as an assertion. If you built a fortune 100 company, that would be impressive, but with your usual lack of proof of anything, you will probably claim you did.
Lastly, yet again, I am not talking behind your back, you would have to take me for a complete moron to claim that. Publicly posted content, that I know you read (as you read everything I write just waiting for a mention) cannot in any sense be behind your back. I am out in the open and public, not whispering to others about you.
Where did I say I disproved all your points? I have disproved a number of them, and showed you why you are wrong. You even removed one from your argument, or do you deny that?
Or do you still think that your hosts file gets around DNS black lists?
Even if I tell you what my IQ is like you ask, you will still deny that it is true and ask for proof. The thing is, despite your memory failures, I have repeatedly explained that I will not out my identity, no matter how many demands you make for me to do so. I will not give you proof, as the things I do are proprietary or are not for public consumption. I won't break federal law or company policy just to show up an internet blow hard like you.
Town? It was one person who worked as a public school science teacher. My guess is it was a joke, because I can't imagine a science teacher being that ignorant.
Yes, not many people out class me on IQ, and no, you are not one of them. Perhaps that is why you don't get even the basics of the arguments I am making and keep repeatedly asking for responses to the same questions already answered?

In many places, the fire department survives by direct payment, and not taxes. You really should educate yourself.

We just need the Enterprise, and have Data sing his song.

You mean those illegal immigrants who can't legally vote? I see no problem preventing them from voting.

I've always wanted the upside down question mark that Spanish uses. Can we steal that one?
I tried to add one to that question above, but Slashdot doesn't like Spanish speakers.

As an American, I have always agreed with putting the punctuation where it belongs, but it is funny to see it said that way.

That is one less light lighting up the upper landing.
When did AOL become a government agency?
AOL fired people? I wasn't aware that AOL had a recent downsizing in their tech support department.
They did, and no Ireland wasn't able to do so.
Aww, poor APK wants more attention.
