Is it really so hard to fathom that the chances a popular song would be purchased at any given moment are greater than the chances an unpopular song would be purchased?
Wow, I don't even know what joke to use here. Sarcasm doesn't come across well on the web, picking on you for it is like making fun of a clown, and some form of aghast shock doesn't really convey humor. Bravo, sir, your doublespeak has left me floundering.
Thank you. I really don't understand why people get a hardon for telling me what my religious beliefs are, when I know them a hell of a lot better than anyone else.
What I find most interesting is how supposedly enlightened people resort to rhetorical tricks to gain support. Of course, when your message is 'destroy the human fetuses' you probably do need to jazz that up a little before it's completely palatable.
Once again, please note: I have no religious beliefs. 100% atheist.
They are too busy killing doctors and burning clinics.
Well, to be fair, you should mention those doctors and clinics were dedicated to the wholesale destruction of human fetuses. Your post tries to make it seem like just any old doctors and clinics.
In any case, when's the last time it happened?
Not to mention the amount of time you waste during an occasional Crusade or a Spanish Inquisition.
I don't care what returned more results in Google. I'm a damn good cusser, and "Pay the fuck attention" is clunky as all hell. The stressed syllables have no rhythm. Cussing is all about the rhythm and flow.
The Apache counter example is only a single datapoint, and it is only applicable about statements regarding vulnerability comparisons between Apache and IIS. It has no factual bearing on any other situation - it can only bolster opinion in an emotional manner.
For the record, I find the entire popularity argument to be fallacious, because there is no way to find a definitive answer. Factually, Windows has been more vulnerable than any other OS in wide use. Whatever the underlying cause is has no bearing on this ultimate effect.
When you consider the wide-spread use of Apache versus IIS, you see this argument holds no water.
All I really see from this statement is that you have no understanding of logic. That's not too much of a problem here on Slashdot - handwaving and misdirection seem to win most arguments I read on this site.
Note: I am not speaking to the assertions regarding vulnerabilities in any way. I am merely pointing out that the quoted statement has no value as the rebuttal it was intended to be.
Third: "Thugs," as you call them, are not allowed to interrogate voters on how they vote. Since the paper receipt stays at the polling station, the thug wouldn't have any way to verify which way someone voted. This kind of thing is taken very seriously, and coercing voters will land you in jail pretty quickly.
Yeah, lawbreakers are always worried about keeping within the law.
I wonder, what could be racist about referring to a man from China as a chinaman? I understand it's not the preferred nomenclature, but it's hardly derogatory.

Well, not for 99 cents anyway. Raise that price to 10 bucks and they'll line up.
Yeah, you can tell there's Digg people in this particular thread by the quality of the posts...
Eh... I'm pretty sure the internet has jaded me. That didn't even make me flinch.
This does have one advantage over anything from 37signals - it hasn't been sprayed with a DHH egogasm.
Awww, you take it personally. That's awesome. No, wait, retarded. Yeah, that was the word I meant... retarded.
They have a patent on rounded corners?
No it is not a bug, its an implementation error.

What defines major?
Used by at least 1% of the market?
I'm not trying to be a dick here, honestly - it's just that when something is niche, it's niche, no matter how much the users want it to be otherwise.

Oh, sure, get medieval on their ass.
NOTE: I have no religious beliefs at all.
Ah, semantic arguments. It's usually a pretty good sign that someone doesn't have much of a point when they start attacking definitions.
Just wondering - copyright holders don't qualify as people?
By buttocks, you mean a wide open distended anus, I assume.

I'm going to take a wild guess here and state that the problem was likely a much more complicated scenario.
Aside from that, I'm also going to guess that an operating system is a wee bit more complicated than a webapp you reviewed.
Pay the fuck attention.
LOL, what?
The OP's phrase was clunky, but this one reads like an ESL* student's first hissy fit.

To be fair, it may well have been creepy grudging sex only intended to let her man empty his bag.
Sweetie? When your done playing on your computer, come up out of the basement and take out the trash. Don't make me get your father to tell you!
Get a little emotional over shit on the internet, do we?
I think it's a bit ridiculous to get upset about racial slurs, especially ones as neutral-sounding as chinaman.
Hell, as a white man, I couldn't even tell you what a honky is. I sure don't care if someone uses it to refer to me.
