More than that; the GP is talking about a bug. If your program has a circular reference that you don't know about, it's a bug. That reduces his earlier statement to:

Are you retarded? This has nothing to do with transportation, which is what makes it so perverse. They are taking the normal fuel they burn to help make paper, adding 10c of diesel, and then claiming 50c / gallon from the government.
Qt IS A FUCKING BUNCH OF WRAPPERS AND LIBRARIES, and lo, it can 'fake' a WINDOWING EVIRONMENT. Hence its use in KDE, the fucking acronym for The K DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT. Perhaps if the GP had gone one chain up the dependency ladder and used 'Konqueror' and 'KDE' instead of 'KDE' and 'Qt', his point would have been clearer.
I apologise for the shouting, but sometimes I just want to be heard.
You think the Huns were bad? In my day we had to deal with the Hittites. Once that horse crap has been ground into the carpet by their chariot wheels, there is no way to get it out.
A pity you weren't in school under the 'no child left behind' program. You might have fared better at your reading comprehension.
From your posted link, paragraph 1 line 1: 'This law is historic. The bipartisan spirit of change is unprecedented.' The story continues with phrases like 'Democrats and Republicans united'. How, then, can you claim any part of the bill for any particular party?
The next issue: The testing of medical procedures and drugs is a fairly simple process: Double-blind test, control group, large sample sizes. Simple ideas, but nessisary components of the scientific method. These principles are significantly harder to implement in a school. How do you account for varying teacher skills? Is the grade population of 100 really a big enough sample size, when children will have to be further divided by economic status, past academic levels etc?
Other problems: Are the teachers trained in the scientific method? If the schools are refused extra funding to perform the trials, how can they pay for the expense of running the trials?
It is almost as if you don't know the difference between a generic methodical approach, as required by the law, and the scientific method itself.
The next issue: Doctors will have at least some training in the sciences and the value of scientific trials. Their reactions may not be perfect, but we can expect them to be better than the fouth grade teachers who are tasked with improving the reading skills.
Next: Bush did stand against scientific progress (for example, on the stem cell issue), but even if he didn't, that is irrelevant to the grandparent post claimed; he claimed that Bush's government stood against the scientific method, which isn't required or used in the 'No Child Left Behind' act.
And finally, there is no overarching liberal bias in the media, there is no Jewish conspiracy, 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion' was a hoax and a forgery, and Dan Brown is neither a reliable commentator or a good novelist.
No, he does mean the Windows tool. If you try to use the Linux command to see how many hops you have to Kevin Bacon, you get "No route to host - Device/dev/friends does not exist."
Is this a troll? If so, you got me. Here are a couple of notes:
3) You need to smoke less weed, because cd/etc/X11/ cd/etc/X11 both should work.
(an aside: the directories '~' and '/' are different; ~ is your home folder (/home/username/) and the default when you open a shell, and / is the root folder, the start of the filesystem.)
6) You didn't create a shortcut, you probably created a symbolic link. Google and wikipedia the terms to see the difference.
also:
7) If your bash scripts are so fragile, then you are probably coding them poorly. Like a lot of scripting languages with long histories, bash script lets you do things a hundred different ways, but there are only a couple that you should ever use, just to be safe.
'No taxation without representation!' is already an unwieldy battle cry, but it turns out it was never used by the Americans in their war of independence. Furthermore, it would have been idiotic for the early Americans to feel unfairly treated by the taxation on them; the vast majority of the British taxpayers at the time were not eligible to vote, and furthermore they payed many times more tax than their American counterparts. Finally, there were no huge shipments of cash back to the King; almost all the tax money was used within the borders of America.

You can't have your cake and eat it too! Either the people are moving their consoles and Microsoft knew about the problem, or people are not moving their consoles and Microsoft didn't know that this problem exists, thus rendering this whole slashdot story idiotic.
How can a bullet stop the game? For that matter, how do you plan on telling the players from the non-players, especially if people ignore rule 3 (as they most often do)?
It is not solicited email of any kind, it is not personal email of any kind, and it is not non-commercial email. A local school emailing your entire neighborhood to tell them that the school is closed due to snow is annoying, but it is not spam. A teenager who emails a chain letter to your entire domain is annoying, but it is not spam.
This was (barely) bulk, and it was mostly unsolicited. It was not, however, commercial and thus it was not spam.
So, as long as we us less than about 44937758900000000000 joules of energy to make a kilogram of antimatter, store it, transport it, annihilate it and harvest the resultant energy, it's all gravy.
At the risk of sounding condescending, I assert that every act of reading requires interpretation, and we now both assert that that the other interpreted the original post incorrectly.
From your reading, you claim that the post talks only about the rest-of-world people who are somehow inherently right-wing, and Americans who other people consider to be moderate.
My contention is that with that narrow reading, you would be correct in your rage and it would be true that the original post is worthless. However, I take the use of quotation marks around 'far-right', 'moderate' and 'left-leaning', and the use of the word considered to mean that the original poster did not intend for such a narrow interpretation, and that he meant 'people who could be considered far-right, moderate, or left-leaning by any reasonable measure'.
That would still leave us with the issue: is there any 'reasonable measure' that would allow us to ascribe the hated labels to people? Yes, the trivial case of people who self-identify with these labels. That is why I chose to present those specifics to you: not to prejudice any other specific reading, but to show that there was a reasonable interpretation that you ignored in order to deprecate the labels themselves.
With my broader reading, the original post attains at least some worth. By giving the original poster the benefit of the interpretive doubt, you can find common ground, and build a discussion around it. That is why I believe my reading to be correct.
That said, I must reiterate that I agree with you in principle that the labels 'left-wing' and 'right-wing' are not inadequate descriptors, and should never be used to prejudice one's opinion of another.
And I apologise for the spelling error. It is hard to spot a single wrong character in a large bank of letters, something of which you will no doubt be aware when you realise that you failed to transcribe my original misspelling correctly;)
I did read your post, and I saw that it annoys you when you see anyone consider anyone else in terms of the left-wing/right-wing divide. I replied as I did because I believe that you were wrong, both because you are getting irritated at the post to which you replied, and in your floccinaucinihiliplification of the classification.
Once again, the post you replied to did not pass any judgment on anyone's policies; it claimed that the people in America who call themselves left wing, have the most in common with people who call themselves moderate or right leaning in the rest of the Western world.
Even if I cannot convince you that there is some worth in the classification, it does not change the truth of the original post. If we strip out the words that charge you so emotionally, we could get the following:
The flavours that are considered spicy in Western Europe have more in common with the moderately spicy and bland flavours in Southeast Asia.
Once again, it's an issue of perception: The idea of a single Scoville Scale for food is inadequate in a professional culinary discussion, but that doesn't change the fact that most curries in Belgium could do with a few more chillies.
Slashdot Mirror
More than that; the GP is talking about a bug. If your program has a circular reference that you don't know about, it's a bug. That reduces his earlier statement to:
use reference counting + buggy code != deterministic behavior
and further to
buggy code != deterministic behavior
which is a lot less insightful that the GP hoped.
I second that. Take a look at this snip:
(Unless of course you are the rare female coder, but then we'd have to replace eating the pastrami sandwich with getting a manicure.)
Women can't like sandwiches? Men can't like manicures?
I wasn't aware that software could smell at all. Unless...
Oh Python, I love you...
If you are able to ignore your voicemail, then YOU aren't important enough.
IIRC, MS Bob was designed by Bill's wife, so I think we can cut him some slack on that one. She's the one person Bill wouldn't challenge ;)

Junk mail
Spam is:
Unsolicited,
Bulk,
Commercial email.
It is not solicited email of any kind, it is not personal email of any kind, and it is not non-commercial email. A local school emailing your entire neighborhood to tell them that the school is closed due to snow is annoying, but it is not spam. A teenager who emails a chain letter to your entire domain is annoying, but it is not spam.
This was (barely) bulk, and it was mostly unsolicited. It was not, however, commercial and thus it was not spam.
I totally agree with your conclusions. All Mac users should stop breathing.
Oh, come on, you left yourself open for that one :)
So what you are saying is NASA needs to drop the ego and outfit all the astronauts with fanny packs?
Taking that further: 'processing inefficiencies' are likely to relative to the amount of mass you produce. This means your final equation:
gain = (mc^2) - (m * inefficiency constant)
= m( c^2 - inefficiency constant )
So, as long as we us less than about 44937758900000000000 joules of energy to make a kilogram of antimatter, store it, transport it, annihilate it and harvest the resultant energy, it's all gravy.
