Both Cheney [futurepower.org] and Junior [futurepower.org] are alcoholics, with typical alcoholic personalities. (Even though alcoholics may not be drinking, the personality persists.)
Alcoholics always or almost always have anger problems. Angry people who are powerful enough may act out their anger by killing people.
That I realized you were either a troll, or mentally retarded. Just FYI, should you want to improve your trolling in the future, or possibly look into treatment options.
As to being open, that was to counter the "but TFS is for VS only" argument
You said:
"Subversion doesn't have all the features they need, that's the problem. For one thing, TFS is open"
I simply countered that point, which is clearly incorrect, as Subversion is as open, if not moreso. If you have other reasons, great, but you should have used them to support the argument in your original post.
OK, so lets say that you are correct about the technical limitation (I have no idea if you are or not). If that is the case, then MAYBE, using TestDrive.NET with Express is a violation of the EULA.
'fraid not. Right on the developer's website, it says:
"In fact I developed the whole of TestDriven.NET 1.0 using C# Express, MSBuild and WiX (as described in this post)."
Developing addins for Express edition is a violation of the EULA
Umm, you missed the point (again). Sure, he said "you violated the EULA". But it was only until just recently that he actually pointed out the specific clause in said EULA which forbids the development of Express extensions. Without that clause, it's just a bunch of hot air and intimidation tactics. Why it took this long to find out which specific clause they were referencing, I have no idea...
So it can easily be shown that TestDriven.NET was developed using the full version of Visual Studio
Actually, the author explicitely says he "developed the whole of TestDriven.NET 1.0 using C# Express, MSBuild and WiX (as described in this post)". So he may very well be in violation of the Express EULA. Problem is, most EULA's are unenforceable, especially such exceedingly generic statements as "You may not work around technical limitations in the software."
Wait wait... TFS > Subversion because it uses webservices? ROFL. Wow, you've really consumed the koolaid on that one, haven't you?
BTW, subversion can be used over WebDAV, which is arguably even more open than some web service, since it's completely standardized (as opposed to an openly accessible, but undocumented RPC interface).
Why the cylons came to N.C. and enslaved the humans never got answered.
Is that really true, though? My understanding was that, within the cylons, there is two major factions (aside from the 7/5 split): those who want to wipe out the human race, and those who feel that doing so would make the cylons no better than the humans themselves. On N.C., the latter group was able to convince the former to try and "manage" the human population. But, of course, they don't feel they could trust the humans to roam freely about the galaxy, and so they kept them housed in what was effectively a prison camp, in order to protect themselves.
I agree, it's not the best part of the whole series, but I really don't think it's as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
Bah, the number of dangerous spiders out there is greatly outnumbered by those that are entirely harmless. 'course, I blame movies and our general culture for overblowing the danger (the same is true of snakes, bats, etc).
Heck, you're far more likely to get hurt by a moose, but that doesn't stop idiot tourists from sidling up beside one to take a picture.
It might depend on what you like about the show. I happen to think episodes like "And Maggie Makes Three" and "Lisa's First Word" are some of the best episodes of the entire series. And then there's "Homer the Great", "Kamp Krusty", and the many brilliant halloween episode skits. That was back in the day when they could pull off some insightful satire, and occasionally put out a truly heartfelt episode without it coming off corny. These days, it's mainly lowbrow humour and slapstick (though I hear, recently, they've been turning back to satire a bit).
Wow, congrats, you poked a whole in the premise behind made-up technology in a fictional universe. What will be your next trick? A thrilling deconstruction of the infeasibility of humaniform cylons? Maybe an exposition on the impossibility of FTL drives?
I'll second this. I carry a backpack almost everywhere I go. Between keys, wallet, change, a book, my DS, a PDA, and other random junk, it's basically become my man-purse, and I'm perfectly happy admitting that.
Populations reach an equilibrium on the basis of available resources
Sure, but spiders play a role in reaching that equilibrium. After all, without predators, the only pressure to keep pest populations in check would be food sources (primarily), which is probably not enough to keep their populations comfortably low. Of course, in their absence, it's entirely possible that other predators would come in to fill their niche... but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the part they play.:)
There really is no reason to "like" spiders, so I feel no guilt about hating them.
I dunno... if it were me, I'd feel some guilt at watching my cat torture one. But, meh, it's not really my place to judge. Mostly just curious, as I've never understood arachnophobia...
Totally OT, but OOC, why the hate for spiders? Personally, I love the little buggers. They eat flies and other pests, and otherwise mind their own business. Sounds like a good deal to me...
and fall out easily -- if your ears aren't shaped right for them.
Which is why you buy a decent pair of isolating canalphones, like my Shure E2C's. They never fall out, they're comfortable, and they protect my ears because I don't have to play my music as loudly (I already have tinnitis, the last thing I need to do is make it worse), particularly in very loud environments, like airplanes or on the bus.
but I don't undrestand how it would be different with headphones.
I don't understand this, either. Canalphones and regular buds deliver the sound to your ear in the exact same manner. The only difference is whether there's an earplug involved. How on earth the soundstage could be different is beyond me. Sounds like standard audiophile BS...
You could say the same about just any spectator sport
Umm... yeah, no. Name another popular spectator sport that has as little happening in it at any given moment, and I'll be very surprised. Soccer, hockey, football, basketball, rugby, volleyball, tennis... honestly, the only thing I can think of is racing, but I don't consider that a "sport" per se, or tennis, and that's not really a "spectator" sport in the traditional sense.
it's illegal for them to move the DVR functionality to their own servers and send you the program on demand over the cable in a way that looks the same as though you'd recorded it yourself.
No, actually, it's entirely different. In the first case, the user is recording the content for their own use, playing it back in their own home. In the second, the cable operator is recording the content and then redistributing it to one or more customers. This requires a distribution license, and in the absence of such a license, the process is illegal. Why is this at all surprising?

And if he can find no clause which he's violating (as is the case here), what then? Just trust the MS dev manager? Please...
Ah, I see, you'd rather anticipate the action rather than actually experience it. I feel the same way about sex... no wait... I really really don't. :)

Leave the poor guy alone, he's married. BSG is as close as he's gonna get...

Just for the record, I have no idea why this post is getting modded up...
a) "Frack" came from the original series. If you want to blame anyone, blame them.
b) Frack is a perfectly cromulent word!
Or I could just mock your spelling but that might be a bit dickish.
Not to mention about as clever as your original post.

Meh, it took nearly three years for the DS cart encryption protocol to be broken. These things take time.

Face it. Baseball is just really really boring.
