Typing english into a translator at google does not spew out perfect Chinese. Likewise, a machine english-to-code translator will never be as good as the real thing.>
I ran that through my Natural Language Summarizer. It said:
"It doesn't work now, therefore it will never work."
Then it made a sarcastic comment, but there's no point in repeating that here.
Actually, according to the US National Debt clock, the US debt increases by $4.2 million about every 2.5 minutes.
But that includes income. The spending budget for 2005 is 2,343,000,000,000. So if I have my zeroes right it spends 4,200,000 every 56 seconds or so, which is about how long it took for me to compose this post.
I thought you couldn't "steal" something if you were just making a copy of it?
He's not just making a copy of it. He's passing it off as his own work. Making a copy of a something is quite a bit different than claiming you created it.
It is reasonable for someone who is not looking to be a asswipe to assume that the writer meant a de facto standard
Which of course is what I did. It was when he quoted a dictionary that I pointed out that the definition he was citing was inappropriate to the words he'd used, and was challenged on (by some other poster, not me).
It was his imprecision dressed up as something precise that I was objecting to.
Had he said de facto I'd have agreed. And had he not trotted out the dictionary entry for a different notion that just happens to sound the same, then I'd have not posted. If you don't care about the meaning of words that's ok by me. But for you to change it from "the standard" to "de facto standard" and then call me pedantic is intellectually dishonest. And as for trolling, I'd have rather you hadn't posted, so that would make it more of an anti-troll. And if I may conclude by actually being pedantic, troll is a verb.
Or, rather, it actually does mean what I think it means.
No, it doesn't. There is a distinct difference between something being standard, which is what you looked up, and The Standard, which is what you said.
Thinking that merely since something didn't happen before then it isn't going to happen this time is not particularly sound reasoning. Take Russian Roulette, for example.
If posts were editable people would troll away, then change the post.

I don't enjoy paying extra so some dork can steal the same stuff that I'm paying for.
You are paying more. You're paying with your time, you're paying with your dignity, and you're paying by sacrificing a little bit of freedom. Yours, apparently, is easily purchased.
Thanks. I was thrown off by the fact when the submitter wrote "the Strong Bad email of the same name," I didn't realize that he meant "same" in the sense of "completely different."
To be more specific, it will be web traffic and some database transactions (Maybe 10,000 a day) It won't deal with printers, user accounts, or be a file server.
What does OS X server do that regular ol' OS X can't do? I'm about to put in a server that will get a small (but not tiny) amount of traffic. Do I need OS X Server?

I gotta know - why did you do it, and what happened when you did?
I think afterward he got a little down on himself.

I don't think Brazil is making it illegal to use Microsoft software. They are simply not subsidizing its use.
What about Smithereens? Does that exist? I hope so. I hear you can get blown there.
That looks good. I'm gonna go make some Egg With Hat right now.
That percent sign is worth a couple of 1s. So that's one in 11111111.

It's the kind of "theft" that people speak of when they say someone stole their idea.

Yes it does. You're right that it's the most attractive target, but it's also the easiest to penetrate.
Not Orbach. It's a famous line from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

Any time.

That's where you can't see the forest for the trees.
