FYI, you might want to get that cough looked at! You accidentally blurted out the pirate bay, dvd decrypter, anydvd, and magiciso right in the middle of your spell.
I should have been more clear on what I meant by "solve the clusterfuck". I didn't mean solve as in fix all the problems between all those countries - I don't think I'm nearly smart or informed enough to do that. I'm simply talking about altering the US relationship with those countries. It's an extremely complicated proposition - not as easy as your "walk away" makes it sound. Do I wish it were that way? No but that's the facts buddy! If it were such an easy solution, maybe one of our presidents in the last 25 years would have accomplished such a feat. None of them have been able to "walk away" from the Israel situation. Again, not that I'm saying there aren't logical arguments for "walking away" from Israel - it just isn't going to happen, so bitching and yelling about it is stupid.
I alrady said I didn't necesarily think current plans for security were the best, honestly I don't know much about them. All I know is that your solution is a to "solve the problem" is pie in the sky bullshit, considering "the problem" can and has been changed completely over the course of the last 25 years.
So to you it's easier to solve the clusterfuck that is the middle east than it is to stop people from getting weapons on planes? And not only that, you think we can achieve this task in a reasonable time frame?
Stopping weapons from getting on planes would be very hard, not impossible.
Getting rid of every reason any possible human being could have to perform a terrorist attack is impossible.
If you can't see that, then you my friend are the idiot.
Your solution sounds nice, and is a long term goal to shoot for, but is far less realistic than keeping weapons off of planes. How many differenct illogical reasons have humans found to attack each other over the course of history?
World peace would be nice, but until we get there we need to be practicle about security (not that our current policies are.)
I'm by no means an apple hater. I really could care less about them, I had to use my friend's Mac for a year and I ould browse the web fine with it.
But if you really think there's an even distrubtion among the slashcrowd between Apple Zealots and MS Zealots & how they get modded, then you're too far gone. I didn't come to this realization from a single post - I came to it from reading/. for years. Google, and Apple are given the benefit of the doubt, while MS is amost always assumed to be doing evil by the majority of posters. You can't possibly argue with that, but I'd love to hear you try!
If you took off you i-Goggles you'd see that there are indeed many Mac Fanboys who get modded up regularly on Slashdot, and if you dissent against the reality distortion field you will feel the brunt of the force from the Jedi Apple users.
I'm not going to argue that WMI is comparable to Linux tools but for your simple example you could just use VBScript DatePart (or JScript functions)and the File System Object and schedule a job. Also since you can invoke COM objects from WMI you really can do a whole lot of stuff.
I'm not surprised either. It's just frustrating because it makes me interact with Slasdot much less because I know I'll get bitch slapped for making reasonbale statements.
My point was that the parent post threw up the usual "Oh I know I'll get modded to oblivion for saying this" when it's actaully the popular opinion around hear.
I don't get annoyed with america bashing, I get annoyed with the type that the parent was spewing. And also, I know anti-american views don't come from a void (as I noted in my own post above which you kindly bolded.)
And you have no idea the level of knowledge I have and where I get my information. You probably assume I only watch Fox news. I'm quite capable of critical thinking and know it doesn't have anything to do with "hating our freedom." The logic behind the 9/11 attacks was far crazier than hating our freedom.
Does that mean that if you really don't care about the formers policies, healthy debate about the latter should be outlawed?
Where in my post did I say anyting of the sort?
Now take these two statements and see which one you would react to better:
FUCK! You stupid fucking Europeans just sit on you asses all the time and don't ever do shit when there's a problem in the world to be dealt with!
or
I really think the current situation in Warrandia calls for immediate action, let's work together to help these people out!
I prefer my healthy debate in format 2 - and will stop listening to you promptly if you sound like a rambling jackass.
Ok, I'll now be modded into oblivion, but I feel slightly better.
That's hilarious. All you have to do to get a +5 around here is spew some random fact about how America is teh eVal (not that there aren't many valid criticisms).
But if you want to actually accomplish something with your posts, don't yell and scream frothing at the mouth. Personally I'm an aetheist and I don't want regligion to have anything to do with government - but your the tone of post pisses me off so much that I really don't give a shit about the valid points you made.
BTW - where do you come from? I'm sure it's a perfect place without problems of it's own.
Especially after you read some of famous porn clerk stories.
A highlight for those who haven't had the pleasure: Sometimes people get animalistic about the tapes. For the real addicts (I'm convinced that porn is like alcohol: some people can stop at just one every now and then, some people just binge on weekends, and some people get genuinely, horribly addicted) the reptilian brain kicks in. They hit the magic portion of the tape and they're done. They pop out the tape and slam in another one, and the next day the stack comes back, unrewound and covered in goo.
I don't work at MS, but I do know someone who does. Last time he was in town I asked him about the threat of Linux, and he gave a very reasonable reply. He said internally they viewed it as a competitor, and were making adjustments to deal with it. They weren't however running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, screaming about the doomsday like the impression you get from reading Slashdot. As to the faults in their software, I didn't really ask him about that. Just a little FYI...

From the summary, that doesn't seem like the type of thing they're concerned about.
Unconcerned with technological bells and whistles and geeky one-upmanship...

But don't belive me if that suits you.

Oh yea man, you're in for a real karma spanking posting something like that on Slashdot.
I'm not going to argue that WMI is comparable to Linux tools but for your simple example you could just use VBScript DatePart (or JScript functions)and the File System Object and schedule a job. Also since you can invoke COM objects from WMI you really can do a whole lot of stuff.
So your complaint is really with her school for forcing her to use what you feel is not the right tool for the job.
I'm not surprised either. It's just frustrating because it makes me interact with Slasdot much less because I know I'll get bitch slapped for making reasonbale statements.
PARENT IS NOT A TROLL
People DO hack IE because it's popular.
That's a reasonable statement. That doesn't explain all the holes in IE, but it's true it's hacked because it's a popular platform.
And the rest of his points are valid too.
So your point is?
