    The Romans. The people that the Jews stole it from 3000+ years ago don't exist any more. There has not been an independent, sovereign state in the area of Israel other than the Jewish state for over 3000 years. After the Romans, the area was under the control of several different empires. Eventually, it was controlled by Turkey (Ottomans), who were kicked out by the British in WWI.

    Learn some history. The one group with the best claim to a State in that area are the Jews. Or you do you arbitrarily decide to ignore a certain amount of history to justify your view?

    Palestinians teach their children to hate. It's probably too late for them.

    Who do you think first implemented tabs?

    (Hint: It was on a browser that ran on Windows 3.1 and was written by a company later bought by AOL.)

    Mozilla and Opera were VERY late to the game with tabbed browsing.

    The telecoms should get immunity. It's Bush himself that should be punished as a traitor to the country.

    I would prefer if the programs were written so that you could use the RDBMS you already have installed. For me this is a small hint that the developers might have a thought when it comes to design.

    That's a good goal when designing a system that has to integrate into and with 3rd-party systems. I.E. an app designed to be sold to 3rd parties.

    However, doing so for an in-house app is stupid, as you won't be able to take advantage of any of the features of any particular RDBMS. In that instance, I think it's better to simply isolate the RDBMS-specific bits rather than leaving them out altogether.

  7. Re:Standards of education falling in UK? on Royal Society of Chemistry Slams UK Exam Standards · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding from this thread is that the public schools do not educate anyone who wishes their services. They educate those who pay for their services. That is not a charity under any definition I've ever heard.

    All that means is that the law is wrong. Goading someone into killing themselves is murder.

    I have no idea why you brought up anarchy. I am advocating that we change our Justice system to actually mete out justice. That doesn't sound like anarchy to me.

    It is not justice to allow a murderer to go free. Technicalities are not justice.

    In your world, pushing someone off a cliff is OK because you didn't kill them. After all, is it your fault they hit the ground?

    It's far more troubling that she is getting away with murder. But then the so-called Justice system is not and has never really been interested in justice.

    You are an idiot. The GP only points out that enforcing a decrease in emissions in developed countries does more harm than good if developing nations are still allowed to increase. He never once wrote that developing nations shouldn't be allowed to.

    GPL is not about promoting "software adoption", it is about promoting collaborative development.

    You are wrong. The GPL is not at all about collaborative development, and it never was.

    The purpose of the GPL is to keep code available to those with a need and/or desire to modify it. Nothing more, nothing less.

    The whole ideology that you are propogating is why FOSS has turned into a religion. You attribute your own ideals to the creators of the GPL and then you rail on anyone who uses it in a way that doesn't match. Look at some of the commentary about Linus's decision to stick with GPLv2 for an example.

    You forgot what it is that Apple sells. You just listed a bunch of parts.

    Apple sells an integrated interface to as many digital devices as they've come up with components for. Music, video, TV, the computer, phone, and whatever else I'm not recalling.

    That's what people are paying for.

    It wasn't all that many years ago, in the grand scheme of things, that the 15 year old would have been married, possibly with a child or with one on the way.

    The entire 18 year old cut-off date is so stupidly arbitrary it's boggles the mind that the Law can be taken at all seriously. Males and females mature sexually at 13 and 12, respectively, but are forbidden* to act on it for 5 or 6 years. And we wonder why teenagers are so f*ing messed up?

    * I know consensual sex is allowed between minors, but even there, crossing the boundry can ruin your life, which is ridiculous and utterly ignores NORMAL human behavior and evolution.
