"Yes, the real cause of unemployment is in the mirror, the color of what it reflects."
Yes , obviously its their colour. Though all those indians doing well in france obviously must have painted themselves white and used false names when they went for job interviews, right? Or perhaps you're just dishing out the usual racism rant because you're as dumb as the rioters and think all their problems are caused by Nasty White People. Moron.
"bunch of people of your culture (whatever that is) were displaced to"
Oh I'm sorry , I didn't realise the french government forced them to move to france. Oh wait , they didn't! So if they didn't like it they could have quite easily gone home. But they didn't. Funny that. So spare me the standard issue institutional racism rant , it so full of holes it sinks every time.
France "rejects" these people he says , and by way of proof he offers up the fact that they don't have good jobs or are no in the cabinet. Perhaps , the truth is that not many of them have the education or ability to have good jobs. Its the same in the UK where certain groups whine on about discrimition against ethic groups , until you have to point out to them that hindus, sikhs , chinese etc are all doing very well thank you. Certain minority groups simply won't admit that its THEIR fault they're doing badly , and contrary to what they may think or want , society does NOT owe them a living.
Hello?? Knock knock?? Have you been watching the news recently?? G7 rioters were shot in Genoa , no reason the same can't be done on these morons who are causing far more trouble. Wake up!
Here we go , out of the closet comes the liberal. I was being serious. If you have rioters threatening and killing innocent people and causing mayhem then the best solution is a bullet.
Poverty riots? So they're not on generous welfare? They don't have enough food to eat? They don't all have TVs? They arn't all , in general , far better off than if they or their parents had stayed in their backwards african slum? Gimme a break. These riots are the standard issue "poor little us" youth riots , with a bunch of witless adolescents feeling sorry for themselves and so have to take it out on the state because they're too thick to see the real cause of their unemployment is in the mirror.
They're no worse off than a load of white French , they're just playing the discrimination card in the way minorities do when they want something from the majority. Best thing to do with these rioters is to shoot then. Rioting would soon stop then , either because they'd be scared or because after a while there wouldn't be any of them left to riot.
That would explain the recent fiasco with iPod nanos and Apple endlessly denying there was a problem until someone brought a class action lawsuit against them (bit overkill IMO but anyway...). Apple as a company and Steve Jobs as a CEO are no different to any other for-profit organisation. They just have a cooler product than most.
Theres nothing like blasting away lots of purple , green and white mutants, pods and other strange evil things... But enough about running a virus scanner under Windows , I quite liked the 1980 video game Defender too.
"With 3.0+GHz machines, what does it matter anymore?"
Coders like you are the reason we now NEED 3ghz machines to do anything useful with bloatware like windows. You accuse other programmers of being lazy then say that making a program efficient is unimportant. Hello??! Pot , this is kettle calling!
"for why they've violated strict logic flow is always,"
Most bugs are nothing to do with violated logic flow and everything to do with simple human error. Until The Perfect Human is invented then bugs (if still written by humans) will always be with us.
Most linux users arnt stupid enough to run as root so most viruses trojans etc would have limited impact. Most windows users however *do* run as root/admin so once inside the OS the trojan can do what it pleases.
If they were that worried bugs and so forth they'd have written it in ADA or a similar far more reliable language than that piece of junkware. Back in 1997 you couldn't rely Java and its VM to run a clock without crashing , never mind a life critical piece of equipment! What the fsck was your company thinking???!
"Actually, I take it as a good sign that they are focusing on their tech and not their site."
Fine for any other company , but not for one that sells a web development tool. It would be like someone selling themself as the worlds best car mechanic turning up in some smoking , sputtering, rusting old clunker. Would you believe anything he said if you saw that?
Perhaps I'm a cynic but I always feel that a products real value is inversely proportional to the amount of marketdroid BS in the write-ups. If I'm correct then this is just Yet-Another-IDE that is (and wow, like this is so radical dude , well if would be if it was 1990 again) - a Smart Client! Jeez... how many times we been here before?
Quebec was GIVEN to the British in 1763 via the Treaty of Paris and has been part of Canada ever since so why don't you sad whining Quebecoi nationalists just get over it or go live in France. Though to do the latter you'd obviously have to learn to speak proper french , not the mongrel dialect of it you lot speak.
"So far, we're not even talking about the possibility of inflicted hearing damage from exposure."
Hearing damage? You mean that stuff that already happens to people who stand in the front row at Metallica concerts? (Well , when they play their old stuff anyway , the new stuff would have trouble damaging the hearing of a baby).
Once this has been thrown out and SCO have to cough up to pay all the lawyers (again) , no one will want to touch their products with a rose scented bargepole. Not that SCO unix is exactly flying off the shelves anyway. This is a last gasp of a company dying very publically, though I'm not sure that even the fat lady will bother to sing for them now.
I'm talking about books I can find in a shop , not on the friggin internet to be delivered by some delivery guy who dumps it in the rain at 11am and then it gets nicked 2 hours later. I don't do mail order. If its not in a bookshop then as far as I'm concerned its not out there.

Got modded down as flamebait though. The right-on liberal students are out in
force once more. I'm sure the original post will be -1 troll soon.
Oh , you mean they're "discriminated" against because of their colour.
Snap out of it idiot , this isn't 1950s Alabama.

Just not old PCs (unless they're running Linux, BSD etc). Still, you
pays your money , you takes your choice. Want Windows? Then put up
with the bugs,

"There's money in it? Exactly how, praytell good kind sir, do you get to that conclusion?"
Criminal gangs installing spyware , trojans etc for blackmail or other
purposes.
