Right, because we're so much smarter than the Iraqis.
We are. Demonstrably. Save the cultural relativism, we're as bad as they are bullshit for a country where it might actually work, in this case you chose poorly.
I'd argue that mutually assured destruction is dumber than what we're seeing here.
So, you'd argue a policy that to this point, has worked flawlessly, is inferior to something that has been repeatedly scientifically disproven, and is therefore a total fraud and danger to troops and think that makes sense?
You think a KNOWN, PROVEN LIE is better than a policy that has irrefutably worked?
You looked up the city, and you found John's name. Very good. But, we only have your word that you CALLED him. So, I watched the old dude using his dousing rods, and you claim to have talked to the old dude's boss. My word against yours, right?
Oh well. Whatever. You don't have to believe a thing, nor does anyone else.
?
Just exactly how retarded do you have to be to see that the above steaming pile of third grade level "I got caught lying and now will make a stupid excuse" imbecility was worth a mod point?
"So one of the developers in the project tracked and found the issue online for free"
After many, MANY others failed to do ANYTHING useful.
Yes, 15 shitty support attempts are no negated by one semi-successful collaboration that finds a problem.
And just so we're clear, NO one of the developers DID NOT track and find the issue, try reading it again so you don't misstate what actually happened in support of your ridiculous attempt at a point.
I seriously wish people like you would stop supporting FOSS, you don't add anything with your constant whining about how our legitimate concerns aren't fair.
Lol, it's nice that you post even though you're too ignorant to realize you just said something ridiculous.
No,no they aren't the "same thing".
YOU might be happy with shitty buggy code as long as MS loses in the end, I prefer things that work regardless to their imagined utility in the silly Linux vs MS fight.
People like YOU are the problem, stop pretending your opinion is valid.
The Internet needs fewer obese basement dwellers making up idiotically fallacious arguments about "electrocuted children" because they suffer from massive inferiority complexes
FYP.
No one would miss you if you introduced yourself to one of those "fatal to children" sockets either, in fact we'd enjoy it thoroughly.
So if an adult doesn't replace the worn out receptacles (a problem which is amusingly alien to a UK reader, by the way) then their 4 year old child 'deserves' to be fatally electrocuted? Why don't you think before you bash your fists on the keyboard next time?
Really? You decided "think of the children" was the best way to demonstrate your point?
Because you've only really demonstrated that your argument sucks and you're not very bright.
God, you really ARE suffering from a massive inferiority complex.
593, establishing the three-strikes law, mandating that criminals who are convicted of "most serious offenses" on three occasions be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole
I don't find anything "overly punitive" about incarcerating repeat serious offenders. I doubt any reasonable person would either.
So, no, it really had nothing to do with being "overly punitive", and that characterization is really not accurate at all.
However, as the person you incorrectly "corrected" said, politicians used it as a stumping point, and that's when things went to hell.
Last, I would avoid using simplistic tools like your list and links, they really have no value in the analysis of the "psychopathology" of the three strikes law, but are instead a very thinly veiled cheap shot at a certain group of political opponents.
It's as though you used phrenology to analyze skin cancer, it's useless and displays a gross lack of knowledge about the subject.
Well.. um.. the first one shows that we don't care, and the second one shows that we would figure it out if we wanted it.
Ooooh, that's a nice try, but the correct answer is you were wrong.
Don't worry, it's notthe end of the world, but spamming the thread with trollish replies just because I proved you wrong is kinda silly, so knock it off.
Wrong. Virtually all the tools listed either don't work at all, haven't been updated in 6-7 years, and/or partially work but not for OL 2003+ PST files.
You didn't read the links. No, please don't say you did, you'd realize that nothing you said there was true if you had read the links.
I know of no pure open source solution that can read 2003 and 2007 PST files
That's because you didn't actually read the links. I see why you posted AC, you knew you were talking out of your ass and didn't want your name attached.
It's nice, but like everything else related to MS, they wouldn't be doing it unless they had something to gain, and anything good for MS is bad for everyone else in the long run.
No, I think what you;re actually saying is that you lack sufficient intelligence and reading comprehension to actually understand what you have in front of you.
"Right? No, that doesn't seem right to me, either."
That's because you're stupid.
Which you will once again prove by replying and acting like a three year old every time anyone disagrees with your pathetic posting 30 times a day ass.
I welcome any efforts to improve the woeful state of access in the US. Hopefully, this will lead to more communities exploring the idea of municipal access, something I've always considered the modern evolution of the library.
"California isn't quite the liberal sinkhole that most people think it to be. "
Yes, actually it is, you're just too stupid and liberal to realize it.
"there are plenty of conservative legislators with stupid ideas."
No, actually, there aren't, you're just too stupid and liberal to see past your idiotic bias.
The Dems have around a 2/3rds majority, yet you're still moronically partisan enough to blather on about conservatives who haven't had any real power in California for years.
Is there anything else you'd like to be wrong about while displaying your gross and pathetic bias?
So, you decided to reply but do NOTHING to refute my points?
Why bother?
Efficiency is a moronic idea foisted upon us by feel good types who think self-flagellation is an appropriate response to years of cheap energy. They WANT us to suffer.
Nothing you said IN ANY WAY refutes that, or any of my other points.
I don't see how being forced to live on a perpetiual energy diet, while your elected officials tout your states efficiency as the primary reason TO NOT BUILD MORE INFRASTRUCTURE is a win in any way whatsoever.
You're getting punked and you're happy about it, how sad.
Efficiency is not a solution, it's not even a step towards a solution, it's a crutch that makes things worse.
The goal is clean affordable power for everyone, a goal which efficiency does nothing to promote or advance.
All "efficiency" does is let you live with less, when your goal should be to FORCE an energy solution by accelerating the usage of non-renewable resources, instead of this pathetic creeping placation of the masses that is the current energy policy.
Sorry, you "efficiency" people are part of the problem, not a solution.
puts three projects at the top tier in quality of the 280 open source projects: Samba, tor, OpenPAM, and Ruby
Hmmm...
In all seriousness, this seems to point to an increasing level of sophistication and maturity in OSS products and procedures, which can only be a good thing.

"Firstly"
I stopped reading there, as it was all that's required to prove you're too stupid to have a valid opinion.
Yeah, but you've already proven there's no reason to ask you.
Seriously, you're really not terribly bright, stop advertising it.
We are. Demonstrably. Save the cultural relativism, we're as bad as they are bullshit for a country where it might actually work, in this case you chose poorly.
So, you'd argue a policy that to this point, has worked flawlessly, is inferior to something that has been repeatedly scientifically disproven, and is therefore a total fraud and danger to troops and think that makes sense?

What the fuck is wrong with you?
?
Just exactly how retarded do you have to be to see that the above steaming pile of third grade level "I got caught lying and now will make a stupid excuse" imbecility was worth a mod point?
Yes.
I have, and had none of the problems you describe.
No, you don't, the presence of developers in THIS VERY THREAD proves you're full of it.
Stop lying to support your point, or get job at MS.

Can't get a date from one huh?

God, you really ARE suffering from a massive inferiority complex.
God, your jealousy is just pathetic.
It must be very difficult for you having such an inferiority complex that you actually think that way.
How sad for you.
While I appreciate your efforts to shoehorn your opinion into this, that's not what happened at all.
In fact, the original three strikes law was limited to serious offenders
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Washington_initiatives_to_the_people#1993
I don't find anything "overly punitive" about incarcerating repeat serious offenders. I doubt any reasonable person would either.

Funny, that's what everyone is saying to you.
It must suck to be so totally incapable of admitting you were wrong.
You're really very pathetic.

Do what we say, it's for you own good, and thus society's own good, and if you don't, we'll punish you in the name of society.
And please, don't bother replying, I don't care what any of you think.
