    The school district were clearly beyond clueless, I mean anyone with less half a clue can see it couldn't have been a bomb. I mean the lack of any explosive would be the first clue. But it seems to me that the larger fault here was the president's.
    He clearly tried to politically capitalize on an unfortunate local event by blowing it out of all proportion and turning it into a country-wide sensationalist media circus. So now of course the money-grubbing parents are going to try for all they can get in the best of capitalist traditions, That doesn't make any of this right though.

    No, like I said, just the ones that are in religious groups that advocated/perpitrated murder in the last 30 years.

    How can that even work when the bible, ((just like the quran, the torah and most other religions books), isn't even consistent with itself?

  5. An example of actual government logic (admittedly from a few hundred years ago): Witches cause warts so Snowden must be a witch. You don't hang witches you burn them. They burn because they must be made of wood, so lets tie Snowden up and throw him in a lake to see if he floats or drowns. If he floats he is made of wood so therefore a witch. If he drowns he was innocent.

    As far as I am aware, unlike Islam, none of those groups have a book that they hold as being beyond question, which tells them the right thing to do is to murder anyone that isn't also a member of the same club.

  10. I agree with Trump on Donald Trump Obliquely Backs a Federal Database To Track Muslims · · Score: -1, Troll

    The Qu'uran contains 164 different verses that preach Jihad. All the tree-hugging liberals out there that think all religions are nice and fluffy like Christianity need to understand that not all religions are like that. Islam is to its very core based on violence and subjugation intentionally, to spread itself virally. The Qu'ran doesn't say muslims should practice Jihad, it says they MUST. There is no "moderate interpretation" to be made here.
    Call me strange but I think that anyone that admits they belong to any group (muslim or anything else) who's core tenets are that their members are required to murder innocent civilians absolutely deserves to be on some watch database.
    So heck yeah, I completely agree with Trump about the creation of a muslim database.

    I mean if your computer's clock is set up to sync with an NTP server every now and again, your system is probably already seeing corrections of that scale and more.

    No you don't get it. Women are _always_ innocent victims of everything, so just because there isnt exact numbers of both genders in infosec, it MUST be something wrong with the whole field rather than anything to do with womens actual freedom of choice.
    Obviously this is all just a giant plot and the fault of every male on the planet, to keep all women opressed and out of the "old boys club" that is infosec, where we all sit about in big leather chairs, drink brandy and smoke fat cigars all the time.

    Sorry if I wasn't being clear. I didn't mean to imply that game developers would ever target Wine, that would be wierd.
    I meant that as a quick way to get a large number of games onto Steam for Linux, Valve developed a wine-like wrapper so they could just wrap existing windows versions (i.e. already compiled) and run that on Linux, rather than have to port the source code and make native versions.
    Their approach was a quick solution but one that will never be perfect compared to a native version. The obvious downsides include a relative performance hit and issues around the wrapper probably never being able to do a 100% perfect job.

    I believe many if not most games on Steam For Linux are actually windows versions literally wrapped in what amounts to their propriety/in-house branch of the wine environment.

    In this case it seems both unrealistic and unfair to make performance comparisons between running what a windows-native app on Windows, and then on Linux where it requires an extra significant overhead of API translation because the app itself was never designed or built to run on Linux-native APIs.
