  1. Re:Uh, sure.. on Ask Slashdot: Correlation Between Text Editor and Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    As a long time VisualStudio user I find your problems to be rather 'bizarre' to say the least. I use many IDEs on a day to day basis from XCode, Eclipse, MonoDevelop, Emacs, KDevelop (only for one old project), and VisualStudio 2008, 2010, and 2012. It depends upon what platforms I'm building for.

    I have a rather large Visual Studio solution that contains more than 30 projects including web services, DLLs, controls, assemblies, client applications, and COM/DCOM objects, and it takes about 5 seconds to startup and be ready to work when I load that solution.

    I also don't run into the incremental build issues that you seem to experience. I've been building huge projects in VisualStudio for more than a decade and never experience the problems you are reporting except when somebody was hosing up source control and VisualStudio though files where changing all the time.

    That being said, XCode is a really nice environment as well.

    According to the Washington Post the CIA knew he was in the car. Several news outlets report this (although that could be parroting the Washington Post); however, several early reports about the attack appear to show the CIA proud that they killed Derwish as well (although that quickly changed after people got wind that he was an American.)

    Apparently there was a 'secret finding' making this ok back in 2001/2002.

    You can say about Bush whatever you want, but he was always honest about it

    Honest about what? Why we should invade Iraq? That we aren't torturing anyone? That the CIA didn't mean to kill that American citizen?

    Obama is a worse disappointment in this regard simply because everyone with half a brain should have known that as a Neo-conservative Bush would behave that way. Obama was supposed to be a return to constitutional principles. Now he might as well be making security policy with Cheney (there's a scary thought, lol...)

    They did, actually.

    The CIA killed a 'terrorist' despite knowing that a U.S. citizen, Kamal Derwish, was in the vehicle at the time.

    Apparently before 2002 there was a 'secret finding' that you could assassinate U.S. citizens who the government believed were aiding Al Qaeda.

  14. Re:Massive conspiracy on IRS Lost Emails of 6 More Employees Under Investigation · · Score: 1

    Lerner’s computer crashed in the summer of 2011, depriving investigators of many of her prior emails. Flax’s computer crashed in December 2011, Camp and Boustany said. The IRS said Friday that technicians went to great lengths trying to recover data from Lerner’s computer in 2011. In emails provided by the IRS, technicians said they sent the computer to a forensic lab run by the agency’s criminal investigations unit. But to no avail.

    Well, to be fair, before everybody gets wound up and declaring 'massive' conspiracies, why don't we get them to tell us what they think the term "computer crash" means, and what exactly happened to her (for a start) computer?

    How are these computers 'crashing' in such a way that a forensics team couldn't pull data off the drives?

    What e-mail infrastructure does the IRS use?

    Get a list of the people that the IRS head e-mail and subpoena the e-mails ON THEIR SIDE.

    Let's also find out why people at the IRS seem to suffer an extraordinary number of catastrophic 'crashes' to their computer systems, especially the higher up the food chain you go. Don't they have top of the line firewalls, anti-virus, et cetera? I know that doesn't make anyone totally protected, but I am stuck managing all of the computers for my immediate and extended family and none of them have had drives with unrecoverable data (and believe me, some of them visit some sketchy sites and install whatever appears to be interesting, lol...)

    Details people, details.

    Hard to know what actually happened when people just use the term 'computer crash.'

    I was fine with pounding on the Taliban, but I don't think the goal should have been to do any 'nation building' there. Beat the crap out of the Taliban, kill all the Al Qaeda we can find, then get immediately out - a la the 1991 gulf war.

    I don't think we should been in Afghanistan for longer than it took to decapitate the current Taliban leadership. None of this 'force democracy down your throat' crap. We didn't care that they weren't democratic before 9/11.

    I did not have a problem with us invading Afghanistan because the Afghani government hid and protected Al Qaeda after 9/11.

    How about Act of War against a nation that posed no threat?

    Don't get me started ;). Yeah, we've gone from the policeman of the world (understandable in many cases) to the 'overzealous swat douchebag' of the world.

    I am against sending troops or drones or air strikes of any kind inside of countries that have not explicitly given us permission that we are not at war with. Every president has probably flirted with this, but Bush really made it policy and Obama has followed suit (the f*cking coward.)

    If Rove hadn't sabotaged McCain in 2000 we'd very likely be in a much better place.

    Sadly, since that bitter back stabbing McCain has become "new and improved McCain - now with more crazy!"

    Let's hope somebody sane can make it through the Republican primary to give non crazy people someone to vote for besides whatever Democrat comes out on top.

    The Republican party should get down on its knees and kiss Colin Powell's a** until he says 'yes' - I swear that man would win in an absolute landslide. Hell, the Democrats would probably just concede the election once he'd won the primary.

    Again, sadly, the Bush gang poisoned that great man as well.

    We violated their airspace and blew shit up. That is invasion.

    No, it isn't - unless you're using the trivialized definition of the word where if you are standing a foot from me then you've 'invaded' my personal space. No rational person could compare our actions in Libya with the invasion of Iraq.

    No rational person could compare asking congress for permission to retaliate against Syria if they used chemical weapons with "attempting to invade Syria."

    Party affiliation? I'm an independent. I'd love for a non-retard conservative to somehow magically make it through the primaries.

    If Bush 2 did it, I wouldn't be bringing it up as an example of how shameful his presidency was, I'd be bringing up the part about lying to absolutely everyone about WMDs simply to get the war he wanted.
