So you are engaging in the exact lazy xenophobia the parent is.
Well, "xenophobia" is a Greek word! It means fear of foreigners - i, a Greek, am not scared of Japanese people, nor Christian Ethiopian people (but i am scared of Muslim Ethiopian people - and i have met them!)
I've seen some of your more racist posts in the past, so it's no surprise you've chimed in here offering support for a serial bigot.
Since when Islam is a "race"? Maybe you are confusing some posts i made (e.g., "i hate Muslims" - when i am directly questioned about, i try to answer clearly) with "racism", but i inform you that in my own general race ("white"/"Caucasian") exist many Muslims. I clearly wrote in the comment you replied: "i have made some anti-Muslim/Islam posts myself".
You go be scared of your own shadow, and the rest of the world will try to tidy up the mess caused by equally scared people as yourself.
Well, "i am not scared of my own shadow"... i am a Greek! I am scared of Muslims BECAUSE I AM A GREEK.
My experience is rather large, and entirely inconsequential, as is yours.
The experience AND knowledge of someone like me, who HAS experience and knowledge of Islam/Muslims is "entirely inconsequential"? If the experience AND knowledge of anyone about anything is "entirely inconsequential", why are we in Slashdot making comments?
One is a bloody fool if they think they can extrapolate the workings of the world and the opinions of over a billion people from the handful of people he has chosen to be representatives of the group in question.
Oh... that's why my experience AND knowledge is "entirely inconsequential"! So, that "over a billion people" who are Muslims, believe in something other than the Quran and the Hadiths (that even i have read) - and "that group of people who represent them" (by doing all the things we know they do - THE THINGS THAT ARE ORDERED BY THE QURAN AND THE HADITHS TO DO) are not Muslims?
If Muslims are as scary as you say, there are two possibilities here: Either you are small minded or dead. As you are not dead, that is pretty good evidence that the 1.6+ billion Muslims haven't given in to their (according to you) innate desire to slay non-Muslims. That means you are, by your own argument, either a zombie or small minded. A small minded person would know enough about Islam, religion, and human tendency towards fanaticism to know that the highly-vocal Muslims you see on TV do not represent the much greater population of moderate Muslims, many of whom you wouldn't even recognise as being Muslim in the first place.
Have you ever lived in a Muslim dominated society as a non-Muslim? By the way: I DON'T KNOW MUSLIMS FROM "TV"!
But whatever. Trying to talk to a small-minded person is never going to end well, as you clearly lack the capability of figuring this schoolkid-level stuff out. The fact you are harassing a bunch of people because you think they harass a bunch of people should make you think twice about your chosen approach to learning.
I "harass people" by mentioning my opinion (that is based on my experience AND knowledge) about Islam/Muslims? But i am "a small-minded person", so i should not express my opinion... it is not right for the poor Muslims, that harass people because the QURAN AND THE HADITHS orders them to do...
Yes, while verbose, i find Java easy to read - and i think its verbosity helps in this (after a while you know what/how to read Java code, and your reading becomes "smooth").
With every one of your anti-Islam posts you are just showing the world how small-minded, ignorant and scared you are, just like the fanatics you probably intend to rail against (but due to your ignorance you get them confused with people who identify with the same religion, but who are not fanatical). You have more in common with the fanatics than you think.
I am not the one who wrote the comment you replied to, but i agree with him (actually, in the one month i am a "Slashdoter", i have made some anti-Muslim/Islam posts myself - not very "popular", like the parent's that has modded down) - i don't know about the other guy, but i know about Muslims (i grow up with them, still live close to them), i read the Quran and the Hadiths, plus i am Greek (and Christian by the way, and as a "disclaimer"), so i may have the extra "historic privilege" to know few things more about the issue.
I don't think that i am "small-minded, ignorant", but yes i am "scared" (of Muslims) - as for this "You have more in common with the fanatics than you think", i must disagree: i (as a Christian - even "fanatic", or just a non-Muslim, like an "Atheist" is for example) don't believe what Muslims believe... and you better believe ME when i write to you that "i am scared of Muslims" (ALL MUSLIMS - i don't like ALL "Atheists", but i am not scared of them... most of them at least...)
What is your knowledge/experiance of Islam/Muslims Sir?
(i don't dare to mention Apple because... my "/." karma is suffering righ now!
Whining about Apple on Slashdot is about as risky, or unpopular, as whining about socialists at a gathering of teabaggers.
O.K., you may be right about that, i was trying to be careful, since i am new in Slashdot (about a month old account) - but i already learned that "whining about teabaggers on Slashdot is about as risky, or unpopular, as whining about socialists at a gathering of teabaggers"...
If you put the subtracted word/phrase in quotes it still works. Instead of -Alpha type -"alpha"
Yes, you are correct - actually this is what i do if i want to make sure my subtracted word (not just phrase) will be... subtracted... most of the times!
But the reality is from the description of this, the manufacturer has done a crap job of building the "networking" part of this [...] You can call it a networking problem, but I would suggest if the manufacturer has given them all the same IP address... these things aren't designed to be "networked" in any meaningful sense of the word. [...] It may use some networking technology in a limited way, but it isn't a networked device... from the sounds of it they use that networking port as little more than a serial connection. [...]
Since i agree with everything you write, i keep only the parts of your comment i want to reply to: yes, it is a frivolous and impractical network... but it is still a networking problem/issue!
a) You're never too old...welll I haven't found the age yet
For What? "Never too old" for WHAT?
b) THIS is where you fall off the 'clue train'....along with 'real' SJW's as opposed to what you probably see as an SJW.
I'm 52 so I guess I can claim being 'old-fashoioned' too...when I was heavy in to comics (teen years through well in to my 20's...I still think their cool but moved on & can't catch back up) I saw nothing wrong & still see nothing wrong with viewing a hot super-herione as a strong super-herioine AND 'holy crap is she hot' (Starfire from the New Teen Titans). That's what I mean about 'your adolescent mindset' as you seem to think these two thoughts are entirely incompatible (they aren't)...
I respect that but i was speaking for myself - i am a sexist old Greek, and i wrote "sorry, i am an awful person, i know, but..."
and if you were REALLY 'old fashioned' you'd know something about decorum & politeness & wouldn't spew every random thought out of your head on the 'internet' that you wouldn't say in public...and trust me I've read/heard it all (so I'm not shocked by anything) I was on newsgroups long before the rest of the world discovered the 'internet'.
The SJW's didn't make it 'TMI" for this forum it's ALWAYS been 'TMI' for this forum, there are forums where that's not TMI, go find them (this isn't alt.sex.masturbation).
That's where our cultural backgrounds conflict. I am Greek: saying in public (even in front of ladies) "i will masturbate to a super-heroine" is an "Aristophanic" way to make my (sexist) point. I am new to THIS forum (a month old account), but i have the feeling that you are right: too "UN-Aristophanic"... but i am not sure if it always was this way, or it is because of the current SJW insurgency. Anyway, i know "this isn't alt.sex.masturbation" but you should watch/read some Aristophane - he wrote his work for grown ups like you and me, not teenagers who can't handle a fact of life!
No problem, i understood where you supposed to reply - if you think that i even googled about how to do it... you helped me more than Google, thank you Sir!
I pretty much miss the + operator, but in my experience, - still works. Can you give an example of where it does not?
My criticism was basically for all operators; you are right, the "-" operators still works (better than any other), but not always (e.g., some times, when combined with other operators, like the new semi-"+" double quotes, and/or in the verbatim mode)
Even if i think that it is seriously problematic to include "twitter/tweets" in searches, i understand that more sources available to search is usually not a bad thing; BUT i have serious problems with excluding terms in Google, i.e., this "-" thing does not always work (i can even claim that "often does not work") - and it (as the other logic operators) used to work always for me in the pre-Google era...
Actually this is my major criticism for Google: i want my logic operators back.
Another Slashdot user pointed this out to me:
On your search results, go Search tools->All Results->Verbatim.
Yes, verbatim is an o.k. filter, BUT: it is still just a filter (which is actually a "don't use some other mode" setting), i have to apply it every time i want exclusive results, it can't be used from any external search input fields, it "gets lost" (even for my current search term(s)) after i apply other filters (e.g., from Greek to English - something i do often because i am Greek), plus... i forget about it all the time!
But YOU insist in totaly ignoring the fact that BOTH what you posted as "the accepted meaning of 'theft'" and my own (i.e., "person who uses the product of someone else's work without the producer's permission") define YOUR actions and YOU - yes, i think i have made my point, take care my friend... and don't forget Antisthenes!
EXACTLY that situation (with a specific brand of mineral water) exists in Greece - a well known (and one of the oldest) brand, it used to be in a "normal" price (even if it was of low quality by any standard), but since many new brands (and of better quality) entered the market, they found THE solution: raise the prise (it is now one of the most expensive ones)! Funny thing (since usually this kind of marketing works better in a "restricted availability" brand) is that it is one of the most widely available brands in Greece - plus, this water (from the same fountain) is used from Coca-Cola Greece (which is actually a Greek company -3E-, the biggest bottler in Europe, with Coca-Cola having a very small share, that bottles -usually with local water of course- for many Slavic and Arab countries).
Even if i think that it is seriously problematic to include "twitter/tweets" in searches, i understand that more sources available to search is usually not a bad thing; BUT i have serious problems with excluding terms in Google, i.e., this "-" thing does not always work (i can even claim that "often does not work") - and it (as the other logic operators) used to work always for me in the pre-Google era...
Actually this is my major criticism for Google: i want my logic operators back.
It is the Volkswagen Touareg / Porsche Cayenne - great car (or cars if you believe the industry...) in my opinion. The thing about this example is that it is manufactured and assembled in the same factory - the differences are insignificant, just enough to not be identical!
You mean they actually enforce EU law? The rotten bastards!
Yeah, can you believe that? I mean, where they think they are... in Europe?
This "no smoking in public places (including cafeterias)" law (it is national actually, but "inspired" from a EU "directive") is something that can't be enforced in Greece (o.k., we don't smoke inside hospitals - we used to do it, but now we go in the yard) - i can tell you that the only cafeterias where you can't smoke are Starbucks. The state decided few months ago that since it can not enforce the law, at least collect some Euros from it: now. the cafeteria owners can pay a small fee as exemption from the law... but when everyone operate for years as an "illegal exemption of the law", none is paying now to be "legaly exempted"...
But do developers even need an IDE at all? When you go to smaller, newer developer shops, you're seeing a lot more standalone editors and command-line tools; depending on what you do, you might just need a good editor, and to master the command-line tools for the languages you use.
Oh, yeah, i remember "standalone editors and command-line tools" from the old days - now they are "trendy"? I have some punch cards to sell them, so they can be "super-fucking-trendy"...

Yes, you posted before me but they are my thoughts too.
That's because THEY transmit the "thoughts" to people's brains... think about it!
I tried thinking about it but the transmissions wouldn't let me.
