I have read your reply and I note that you have indeed used words. Might have been a good idea if you had read your own reply.
Hitchens 1st question is simple and valid, you refuse to answer it but instead propose a new question relating to yourself (you must be a polititian!). It has nothing to do with moral superiority.
His second question is not valid because it asks about an "action committed in the name of" something else, when you change it to your way then 2 wrongs don't make a right we just have more wrongdoings.
I would tell him if he was still here that it's a bad idea to ask questions about faith to someone who believes they have faith, waste of time.
lol, the idea of these "160 rouge access points" tickles me pink, or is that rouge:) I think you mean "rogue" or was it the type of convention where an attendee might be in need of some emergency face make-over?
You mean "applications using.Net (C# specifically) than VB7 or C++" as opposed to what you wrote "applications using.Net (C# specifically) then VB7 or C++". The way you wrote it implies you were writing using.Net then you changed to VB7 or C++. It's so strange when people use 'then' when the mean 'than', totally different words man.
Monday night's hack of the Sun occurred because one of the hackers found a weakness in a "retired" server for the News International "microsites" – used for small or unimportant stories – running Sun's Solaris operating system.
The most likely candidate for that hack – which would use the weakness discovered in 2009 – is the "mailback" page at http://www.new-times.co.uk/cgi-bin/newtimesmailback, which on Tuesday morning had been deactivated, along with the whole of the new-times site.
The server hosted the outdated "new-times.co.uk" site put up when the Times was building its paywall.
The hacker used that and then ran a "local file inclusion" program to gain access to the server – meaning they had extensive control over it.
That then gave them access across large parts of the News International network, possibly including the archived emails, and to the Sun's "content management system" (CMS) – which formats news onto pages. That will have included the code for the "breaking news" element of the Sun's main webpage; changing the entire content on the page would be too obvious.
By including a line of Javascript in the "breaking news" element, the hackers were able to ensure that anyone visiting the Sun's home page would, as the ticker was automatically refreshed, they would be redirected to anywhere that the hackers chose.
Initially they made it redirect to a fake page they had created at new-times.co.uk/sun which attempted to look and read like a Sun story claiming that Rupert Murdoch had been found dead. That page used a template of another story that first appeared on 14 July, suggesting that the hackers either grabbed an archived story or have had access since then.
After the team at News International tried to regain control, the hackers then redirected the main News International page to the Twitter page for LulzSec.
But the problems for the News International team aren't over. A number of email addresses and passwords were being tweeted last night on various feeds – implying that the hackers may have gained access to the email archive and be preparing to release it. If that happens, the effects could be titanic.
I have seen a great number of posts where 'then' has been substituted for 'than'. What really surprises me is the writer is quite clearly of above average intelligence and has managed to side step common grammatical ‘banana skins’. It’s the use by these same people, due to their otherwise very good spelling and grammar, that perpetuates the adoption of this incorrect use in others (esp those who are learning English) as they may have been influenced by what seems to them perfectly good English.
That's nothing compared to folks, in my humble opinion Americans due to their accent/pronunciation, substituting 'then' for 'than'. Due to the increase in its use on the net the improper use has spread to non-native English speakers too, and people with English as a second language outnumber native speakers. One day, once its use outnumbers the correct usage then 'it's game over man' for than (or should part that last sentence read 'than it's game over man' for then). We will end up with 'greater then' instead of 'greater than', 'it's better then yours' for 'it's better than yours'. Why make it more complicated.
Thank you for your contribution. Notice the content of the faux 'sig' relates to the actual post, it was constructed in such a manner, please feel free to 'quote parent'.
Careful when you ASSUME there is a sig, it could be said that you were making an ASS of U and ME.:)
France acted consistently on assistance to secure American independence and in relation to the Iraq war, on both occasions it was wholly for French self interest. The moral high ground, as usual, is pretty vacant.
OP here, let me explain, as it was new year and me being Scottish (ie drinking whisky) I made a wee joke, the previous story on/. is about Hungary, I submitted a post about Hungary pretending i sent it from my android and my android sent it to the wrong place.
Thanks for the points and a wee Scots saying to you all for the new year ahead "Lang may yer lum reek"

WTF, you can't even spell 'than'. It's not like it's rocket-fucking-science.
Let me help...
Than: ...then fucking learn to use the correct word next time.
I'm better than you.

ahh, a wee trip down nostalgia lane....mind you, it's not as good as it used to be.
freeze your whole system in carbonite, should be good for a few hundred thou, obviously having copied to a new system 1st, don't forget that bit!
I would be careful with paper in that 4th Reich, the previous Reich promoted the burning or 'Säuberung' of paper based documents.

"....then Linux because...."
Then why is it so hard for you to spell a short easy word like 'than'?

Here's my two line of python:
I didn't expect the Spanish Inquistition.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
could you repeat that in binary please?
shouldn't it (in the new muchy muchy improved version internety english) read:
'boxen is wayyy stupider then virii.'
please note when in Paris:
1. the sidewalk/pavement is reserved for scooters
2. the pedestrian crossings are reserved for parking large vehicles
3. at pedestrian crossings the 'don't walk' sign really means 'DANGER! - DO NOT WALK', the 'walk' sign means the same as the don't walk sign
Quote "Their margins are lower then Apple's but they're a far bigger company."
Mister Pedant awards 2 points for spelling "Their" and "they're" correctly but takes 5 points away for using 'then' instead of 'than'.
here's an example to help you understand "...the cost today is 5.99 but then againt it could be less than that next week."
