So, no cites, just excuses why you should be allowed to drive intoxicated, and abusing the moderation system to mod me 'Troll'. I think it's clear where you stand.
The writer doesn't pay 52% tax. Tax brackets in the Netherlands work the same as in the U.S.: you pay the tax rate for the money earned in the bracket. So the writer only pays 52% over the top part of their income, not over the entire income.
'Vakantiegeld' aka 'Vacation Money' gets counted as part of your gross annual salary. All employment contracts state so. In practice, you just save up 8% of your monthly earnings to get it all in one go in May.
Minor nitpick: R&D is not paid out of profits, but out of revenues. R&D is a cost. This is the common refrain of the corporations: "Boohoo, don't tax our profits, or there will be no money for R&D"; which is deceptive, because one look at their 10-Q shows that R&D is already accounted for before profits.
So, how about a cite of those many studies? Because, so far, I haven't heard of a study in a respected journal yet that contradicts the current medical opinion that BAC directly correlates with driving impairment.
The rest of your post is sound and fury. Nice ranting, but it proves nothing. Give me cites from peer-reviewed sources that back up your ranting, and I may take you seriously.
Well, see the comments that started off this subthread. Apparently you don't need to know basic algorithms if you just use the provided libraries/classes.
Hey, I overlooked an 'r'. 'Through' and 'Though' are different things. But it's your choice to be snarky about it. Let me guess, a reformed smoker? The militant style seems somehow familiar to me.
Headaches? A slight feeling of pressure in my temples. But I suffer very little from headaches anyway, so someone else may feel a little more than that. The nausea is mild, I lump that in with the dizziness.
As for the snacking, no, that's not caused by nicotine withdrawal. That is substitute behaviour for the smoking habit itself. Care must be taken to separate the smoking habit from the nicotine addiction.
I think you're overestimating the size of the U.S. The original TGV line was Paris-Lyon, which compares nicely to all sides of the Austin/Dallas/Houston triangle. Miami-Atlanta is comparable to Paris-Toulouse or Paris-Marseilles, or Tokyo-Osaka.
The US is large, but there are plenty large urban centers comparable distances apart as in Europe. A TGV like network between those would work just fine.
As pointed out to the original dummy, I was taking a worst case by using the whole population of the UK. I agree, 16.000 who agree with extremists is worrying, but not more worrying than any other extremists.
I took a worst-case scenario. And it was you who was using the UK numbers in the first place to try and bolster your 'millions and millions' claim. If you meant to extrapolate them world-wide, you should have said so.
In other words, you're even too stupid to write comprehensible English.
99% of British Muslims condemn the tube bombings! Yay! 1% actually said they totally support them. 1% is larger than the "millions and millions" thing I stated... that would require less than 0.1%.
Why is it that bigotry and stupidity always seem to be correlated? Here's a little sum for you:
Total population of the United Kingdom: 61 million.
1 percent of 61 million = 610000. In words: Sixhunderd-and-ten thousand.
And now for the final question: is slightly more than half a million more or less than 'millions and millions'?
Do you have to work at being so stupid, or does it come naturally?
I am quite partial to his anti-Borg rant in 'First Contact'. Given a decent script, Stewart can really let it rip. "The line must be drawn HERE!", it's chilling to see the otherwise cool Jean-Luc Picard totally lose it.

The wrong tool? It is the bloody default admin tool offered by the vendor itself. Are you implying that Microsoft is so enterprise-worthy that I have to use third-party tools to actually admin their stuff?
Give it up. With advocates like you, Microsoft doesn't need critics.

Ah. A fanboy. If people like keep defending obvious mistakes, no wonder Microsoft feels no motivation to fix them.
And yes, the mistake is obvious, because as I pointed out, they already anticipate differing data by throwing up a dialog box to enter it. They just forgot one item. That is not the bad bit. The bad bit is letting such an obvious oversight go unfixed for over 5 years. But as I said, since folks like will go to any length to defend errors like this...
Kind of ironic, given the topic of the entire discussion, now isn't it?

And this excuses amateurish programming of the default admin tool how?
Because the mean temperature of the entire globe is rising, it used to be called Global Warming. As more study was thrown at it, side effects that a mean rise in global temperature was found to create were a bigger spread between maxima and minima, effects on ocean currents, and possibly effects on hurricane formation and migration patterns. So Global Warming as a description just didn't cover the entire range of phenomena anymore.
And as pointed out by others, this change in actual scientific terminology is not recent.

It tells you a lot. Driving impairment is correlated with BAC.

Utter bullshit hyperbole. Whole city districts cannabis farms? Provide a cite, or I'll call you what you are: a liar.

Are you being deliberately obtuse, or just plain stupid?
Of course it wouldn't make things better. But censoring one and not the other does show that their criteria are hypocritical.
