Opps. Sorry, that was not my intention. Allow me to clarify. What I really meant to say was, after getting to know the two products (MySQL and PostgreSQL), only an idiot considers PostgreSQL to be a toy database. Conversely, only an idiot would consider MySQL to be anything other than a toy.
Seems you have already discovered that MySQL is a toy. Best of all about MySQL, it screams with read-only, simplistic, single user, non-concurrent queries. Add in concurrent system activity or a mix of non-readonly activity and performance is just shameful. PostgreSQL, implements Oracle-like MVCC (with various isolation levels), which means it scales very, very, very well. It's fairly common for people to maintain large and very large tables in PostgreSQL.
Just FYI, the things off the top of my head that are being worked on for the next release of Postgresql are:
o PITR o Better intergration of replication o two (multi) phase commit (IIRC) internal support o protocol improvements to better support distributed queries
I've not actively made an attempt to follow the current workload, so, don't think everything I've listed about will make the next release. Just the same, it should tell you the state of its features. Notice it's not working on basic things like stored procedures or RI (i.e. MySQL).
Speaking of stored procedures, PostgreSQL supports PL/SQL, tcl, python, perl, c, R (don't hold me to that one) and probably several other languages which don't come to mind, for development of stored procedures. Yes, that's right...for use as stored procedures!
In other words, if you're looking for a serious, free RDBMS, PostgreSQL is worth a look.
I can't figure out if you're trolling or not. Anyone that knows anything about databases, would never toss PostgreSQL into the same hopper as MySQL. MySQL is a toy for dolts that don't know or understand real databases and has a very low cost for entry. PostgreSQL is a real database which performs on par, if not exceeds Oracle on a daily basis. PostgreSQL is stable and feature rich. Clearly, it is still playing catchup to Oracle's very extensive feature set, but allow me to be very clear. PostgreSQL is on par with MSSQL, Sybase, Informix, DB2, and Oracle, save only for enterprise features. Even enterprise features are steadily creeping into PostgreSQL.
Long story short? Only an idiot considers PostgreSQL to be a toy database. Conversely, only an idiot would consider MySQL to be anything other than a toy.
If you're not trolling, I highly recommend you look into PostgreSQL. It's powerful and feature rich. There is no comparison to MySQL. Lastly, you can toss almost everything you've heard about MySQL or PostgreSQL performance right out the window. Most every MySQL benchmark to date has been done by idiots that can't find their elbow or down right lies pushed forward by MySQL's commercial interests.
Let's not forget that they failed to even support their Linux products. Many, many patches and bug fixes were made available for their Windows products, however, they never released any patches for their Linux product.
I have a legitmate copy of WP2000. They treated us with little to no support, and little to no patches. The version was fairly buggy. It crashed. I will never again buy a Corel product; at least not for Linux.
Open Office now does everything Corel offered they would do for us back in 2000. Open Office works and is getting better every day. Best of all, even Open Office 1.0 wasn't nearly as buggy of WP2000 was. I've come to depend on OO. In the mean time, Corel can take their WP and "F" themselves with it.
No, the problem is, is that law has nothing to do with common sense. Period. Law has nothing to do with Justice. Period. This is your source of confusion. This is exactly what I referenced kindergarder, so that simple minds, like yours, could grasp the concepts that 3 and 4 year olds don't seem to struggle with.
You're a scumbag thief.
Now then, once you bother to learn more about the landscape of how law works, you'll realize that there is tons of ambiguity in various aspects of law. Had they been logical and even handed when they wrote law, this would LEGALLY be considered theft. They weren't, so legally, it's classified as something else. Having said all that, I've not been talking about legal definition, which doesn't exactly take more than a couple of brain cells to understand. Clearly you didn't understand that so I'll spell it out again. You're taking something that you are not entitled to and you are not paying for it even though a fee is expected. This is called theft in anyone's book. Well, anyone's book that has more than a couple of brain cells.
Not paying you is not theft. It's entire a contract dispute, or (if you can prove that he intended to not pay you) fraud and deception. It is not theft.
No, it's called theft. He stole my services and time. It is not called a contract dispute. The contract was never in dispute. It is, however, call fraud. Oddly enough, fraud is often directly associated with theft. Wow! What a concept.
It's fine for the media and other people to misrepresent the terminology, in the same way they do it for technical terms as well.
Actually, the media rarely, if ever, misrepresents theft. Theft is theft. It's common sense. Like I said, kindergardeners don't have a trouble figuring this stuff out. Odd that you do. Now, legally, the law is less ambigious in the catorgization of specific offenses, and some crimes may not be legally catorgized as, "theft". Just the same, stealing is stealing, regardless of what it is. BTW, since you have so many problems with definitions, here is theft: the act of taking something from someone unlawfully; "the thieving is awful at Kennedy International". Hmm. Not exactly hard to understand why the media is pretty much spot on in how it depicts this illegal activity. As it relates to my example, my time and services were taken from me and I was not compensated. It was stolen from me. My former employer was a theif. Legally, he defrauded me.
Why are such obvious and simple ethical concepts so hard for some people to grasp? Shesh. This isn't rocket science.
Yes, I do want to quit. When idiots like you ignore facts and common sense, it's impossible to make forward progress. I clearly stated facts and opinions. You fired back with crap opinions. I fired back with what you deserved. I have a very, very short temper when it comes to dolts, idiots and morons. People that make an effort, I'm happy to engage in debate or conversation. Idiots, dolts and morons, on the other hand, I'm happy to hand them what they deserve. When people, such as your self, are mired in stupidity, it's impossible for people like you to ever see anything else but stupidity. At least you eat your own dog food.
You then go on to mod me as flamebait.
You really are a real loser. I'm can honestly say I'm glad I don't know you in real life. Simply pathetic.
Sadly, you didn't get past kindergatern. How very sad. You might bother to learn what a "public performance" is.
Now that we've established your stupidity, one can assume that you're a petty, selfish theif. Does more need to be said about your stupidity and how you'll brainlessly attempt to justify it now?
You're a loser and theif.
One commits an illegal act, to demonstrate that the law is wrong.
Oh shesh. This is getting pathetic. Now you claim your fighting the good fight? So, since you're fighting the good fight, it's assumed that you're stealing music and then collecting money to ensure the artist is still getting paid? Right? Of course you're not! Why? Because you're a loser, selfish, idiotic theif with no morales and an actively delusional mind working hard to justify what is plainly wrong. You, are a worthless theif.
Now then, if you can show proof that you're ensuring the artists are still getting paid, then I'll retract what I just said. Until such time, only an absolute idiot is going to buy into your "civil disobediance", bs-lie.
No, I didn't ignore #1. I've even previously read most of the links you provided. You are right, I didn't offer any links. I did, however, offer facts. For someone that says you've "studied" this, yet seemingly have never read anything that supports what I've stated, screams that you've actually done little research to learn the whole story. It's as simple as that. You can ignore the facts all you like, but you're only sounding silly. Make an effort to learn before you declare that you've studied. Then, once you've done that, make an effort to figure out what everything actually means. Hell, half the crap you point at is biased, one sided, or only one possible interpretation of the facts. On top of that, some of your argument even flies in the face of human nature and fact and then you leap to the assumption that it supports some completley unrelated fact. Shesh. Make an effort.
I directly answered #2. Besides, it's completely orthogonal anyways. Nonetheless, I answered.
Number three is tricky and realistically, neither one of us can accurately answer. While I'm sure the current situation does helped to encourage terrorists, you seem to time and time again, ignore the fact that they were already ACTIVELY working to kill jews by means of terrorist actions. And, they were actively working to war with Israel. Just as bad, they were "state" sanctioned actions before the war and they are encouraged now. What is the real effect? More than likely, no one knows. Having said that, it's not like the jews have many options. So, how bad can any reasonably morale person feel about war mongering terrorists whos stated goal is genocide of another group? Oh no, the war mongering genocidal terrorists are getting their ass handed to them for starting the whole thing. Oh no, my heart spits on them.
The only ones that can change the situation without a complete social and perhaps religious reformation, is the Pals. Period. It takes two to have peace and one to screw everything up. Now then, by no means am I saying that Israel is without blame in how its handled the problems there. In fact, last I've heard, they have broken several UN regs and prob many other international no-nos. Does it justify it? No. Can one understand it? Abso-f-n-lutely! But, not only did they not start this, but they've time and time again made efforts to bring peace; or a start. The Pals, on the other hand, have gone out of their way to assume the role of the victim and incite violence at every possible junction. Again, we're forced to spit on the Pals for their stupidity.
This isn't rocket science. Look at the core facts that caused them to be where they are rather than the whinnie Pal story of people getting exactly, literally, what they asked for, time and time again. Think I'm being silly. Remember, their entire culture/religion revolves around martyrs. Even if they are passively supporting this conflict, martyrdom is still engrained in their religion and social structure. It not exactly hard to understand why so many Pals allow their stupidity to continue; and it does.
Wasn't that the project that used a billion engines which was begging for horrible failure? If I am remembering correctly, it's much more likely that it would of been a horrible death trap rather than a success story.
I worked for an employer. I he owed me around $12,000 dollars. He decided that he didn't he would go out of business and not pay me. He planed this up front. The courts do not call this theft even though, clearly, he stole my time and services.
Anyone with a single brain cell, know this was theft. Illegally copying music is theft. In a nut shell; did you pay for it and is it supposed to be made available without a fee? If the answer is, "no", then you are a thief. Period.
Any other position is simply toying with words in an attempt to deney they are a thief.
Look people, this is something we all learned in kindergarden. Stop being idiots. If you take something that is not yours, you didn't pay for, and money was expected in exchange, you are a thief. Period.
And compare that with the number of CDs actually purchased. I'm sure that staggering number works out to be something of a percent of one percent. I'd consider that to be very rare indeed.
Basically, your government says you will and already have illegally copied music. Since he's already been accused and and fined for it, he's doing what he's already been fined for. Legal? Absolutely not! Morale high ground? Absolutely!
If you've already paid for it, it would be fairly dumb not to take it. Most people call this concept extortion. The RIAA calls is pre-paid theft, since they already know your a worthless criminal.
All US DAT owners already paid their right to steal too. Though, honestly, I'm not sure if the RIAA tax is still included any more. Anyone know?
Couldn't resist a second reply. Read the entire thread. I certainly do not think that Israel is without blame. Having said that, anyone that bothers to learn the facts will quickly adopt the same opinion that I have. Which is, kill the idiots or hope they learn how to stop murdering people. ONLY then will there be peace. Period.
It doesn't matter how you feel about it. If you like. If you don't. Frankly, I couldn't care less if you agree. I'm talking it right from the horse's mouth. The Pals want to murder every last Israelie possible, which is exactly how and why this whole dang thing started. It just so happened they are very stupid and picked on a country that can easily kick their stupid butts.
So, nothing you've stated changes the simple fact that their STATED GOAL IN LIFE is to MURDER EVERY ISREALIE.
As for settlements, I think you need to bother to do some research. There has been some poor offerings and there has been some excellent offerings. The response from the Pals, "taking out land back will never be enough. All of the Zionist Jews must die." Obviously paraphrased.
According to you, they should get their land back and be left alone while they continue to murder jews. You're either ignorant of the facts, and idiot, or a Pal (the last two are pretty much the same thing).
I've done a fair amount of reading on this. I USED to feel very badly for those the worthless Pals. If you can't find and/or have yet to read actual facts which support everything I'm telling you, you obviously have done ZERO FRIGGEN research on the topic. Seriously. This is like, Middle East 101 crap. Seriously. None of this is hard to find. Not one bit.
Great stuff. Now bother to learn WHY those things are happening.
As for the land: It's now their friggen land. Spoils of war. Of course it's going to be used. Duh! No surprise there. If anything, it highlights the Palestinian stupidity for passing up the many chances they had to get their land back. Until Palestinians make an effort to have peace, stop trying to murder and kill ALL FRIGGEN JEWS, Palestinians are not going to get their land back. Opps. I let some facts out. Sorry.
such a change of policy is highly questionable. the opposite is taking place right now:
Not really considering its been on the table for ever, in exchange for peace. But, sadly, the Palestinians would rather kill all jews than get their land back. When you bother to learn some more facts, you'll soon understand that the land is a poor excuse that ignorant people latch on to. Simple fact is, even if the land was not in contention, the Palestinians would actively be working to mass murder jews. Go learn about the last two, three or four peace settlements put on the table by Israel. Each time, btw, the Palestinian response was, no, was can't do that until all jews in Israel are dead. What pigs. They deserve their deaths.
let us compare who is killing whom:
Ya, then bother to learn why. Just because Israel is smarter and more successful, doesn't make them wrong. If we use your logical, anyone that has ever won a war is wrong. Thankfully, I'll elect to use my brain and understand how those facts come into play. Which is, largely orthogonally. Since you brought it up, it's important that you realize that Israel is *almost* always working in REPSONSE to terrorist actions by Palestinians. If the Palestinians would stop mass murdering people, Isreal would too.
well, Israel is considering removing of all Palestinians into Jordan. In other countries this is called ETHNIC CLEANSING.
Or, they are left with their only other option, which is genocide. They have no choice. There it is again. Those dam facts. Hate it when facts punch a hole in your misguided efforts.
i can not verify what is beeing taught in schools, because I have never been there. have you? OTOH i can tell for sure what the Israeli public is discussing.
Or, you can look at public statements and news reals to learn facts from the horse's mouth. Simple fact is, Palestinians are being taught to hate. Palestinians are encouraged to sucide bomb and murder people. Palestinians are taught they being a marter is a good thing. Palestinians are taught that should the elect to become a marter, their family will be compensated, as such, if they love their parents (and any good zealot does), they should do this to help them out.
I hate it when facts are offered which punch holes in blind ignornace, such as you own. Now, go bother to learn the whole story and not just one side of it. Trust is usually somewhere in between the two.
In a long post I offered, several back, I guess I didn't make it clear. Israel is certainly not without blame to share, however, they certainly have the morale high ground to stand on.
I agree with everything you said. The guy you replied to makes many interesting points, but sadly, almost all are completely orthogonal to the discussion. In other words, they really have absoluetely nothing to do with the issues at hand.
Which is more realistic: That the world's 4th largest nuclear power (Israel) will be wiped off the map, or that the nation that it occupies, which has almost 80% of its land officially taken, and has siezed for settlements and security buffers 75% of the rest
Completely orthogonol to the discussion. Their size has nothing to do with it.
and has half its populaton with chronic malnutrition will be wiped off the map?
Ahh! Good point. Now, ask your self why so many people are in poor health and suffer from such conditions. Maybe because they suffer from poor leadership which they blindly follow whos stated goal is to kill ALL jews. Time and time again, the Palestinians have had a route for peace. Time and time again, they had the chance to dramatically make life much better. Time and time again, they've had the option to become a world recognized nation with a voice in the UN so that they could eventually get all their lan back. Do they do what makes sense? No! They train children to blindly and ignorantly hate jews. They encourage people that suicide bombings are the work or heros and marters. They pay families for the stupidity of their children, having murdered dozens of innocent people.
The whole damn war exists because of Palestinian stupidity. Israel finished the war that Palestinian started. Israel offered to give ALL their figgen land back if only they would appologise. They refused. What idiots. What losers. In stead, their response was, since we failed this time, we vow to never stop until all jews are dead and we have our land back. hat idiots.
I used to feel bad for the Palestinians until I learned more about it. Simple fact is, there isn't enough Palestinians being killed. That sounds harsh, but the simple fact is, one of two things have to happen for the violence to end. One, the Palestinians can make an effort for peace; which i doubtful because they are blindly educated to ensure that never happens. Or two, all of them are dead. I hate genocide and consider it to be very, very wrong, but the jews are not being left with any options.
So, I know this isn't the popular opinion nor is it even politically correct, but such as it is, until one of those two things happen, the more Palestinians that are killed, the safer innocent life in Israel is going to be.
Think about it for a second. Who is taking whose land? I'm not talking about the past: I'm talking about the present.
You're right. They are taking the land from a war they didn't start and offered to give back. Furthermore, Israel has offered many times for peace, whereby, just for starters, they would get 85% of their land back. Then, once they proved they they would act like adults and stop actively training terrorists, they could then neogotiate for the last bits of land. Do they do that? Nope. They are ignorant zealots that deserve to die because this is completely their making. Ohh....those poor people are being attacked because they are criminals working hard to mass murder all jews. Use your head. Learn more about this before you post again. If you realy not not biased and have an open mind, I promise, you'll feel as I do once you learn the facts. Those poor Palestinians are getting everything they deserve. Now then, should they actually make an effort to have peace, and the violence from Israel continues, I'll do a 180. Until such time, kill, kill those damn muderous thugs known as Palestinians. Their deaths are directly related to their constant stupidity and terorrist actions.
Having worked for a large "Gaming Company", I can assue you the ability exists to rip people off, royally, and still keep plenty of interest by the people playing. Besides, statistically, those that want to gamble online or much more likely to have a gambling problem where they can't stop and common sense is thereby, completely ignored.
All I know is, the Isaelies have made many attempts to make things better and the response is always, not until all Jews are dead. Doesn't seem like there can be enough dead Palestinians when they put it that way.
I mean, come on, when your highest regarded leader is a terrorist, it's not exactly hard to figure out why Palestinians die on a regular basis.
They could easily have peace if the Palestinians had the foggiest idea what honor, respect, and murder means. Until the Palestinians actually try to do something other than mass murder, they deserve what they get!
Except that SMB is a protocol, not an API. On top of that, US law already exists which specifically grants alternate protocol implementations for sake of compatibility purposes. In the event MS thought they had something to move on, precident and law would be against them. They wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
No, I can't see how this is going to effect project like Samba in the least.
People specificially went to Dell to buy a pc/linux combo, however, most couldn't find it was offered. Worse, it was only offered on select models. On top that, of the select models, it was only offered for server configurations. Desktop users were out. On top of that, even on the models that it was offered, the website failed to offer it or make it generally available. And, don't hold me to this last part, but I seem to recall, even if you did manage to order a server with Linux on it, you still paid the MS tax.
In otherwords, Dell has never made a serious attempt to sale Linux. I have met with Dell internal support and infrastructure right before this all happened. To say they were fairly Linux clueless was an understatement. They know and sale MS. Period.
Dell never seriously attempted to sale Linux. At best, they did it to better their MS contact position (specuation on my part).
Because Dell's effort was completely half-assed, at best. Dell made as much effort to sale Linux as you wanna kiss your friend's date's ugly girlfriend. Simple fact is, if someone actually makes an attempt, they make actually be able to do something with it.

In fact, last I've heard, they have broken several UN regs and prob many other international no-nos. Does it justify it? No. Can one understand it? Abso-f-n-lutely! But, not only did they not start this, but they've time and time again made efforts to bring peace; or a start. The Pals, on the other hand, have gone out of their way to assume the role of the victim and incite violence at every possible junction. Again, we're forced to spit on the Pals for their stupidity.
This isn't rocket science. Look at the core facts that caused them to be where they are rather than the whinnie Pal story of people getting exactly, literally, what they asked for, time and time again. Think I'm being silly. Remember, their entire culture/religion revolves around martyrs. Even if they are passively supporting this conflict, martyrdom is still engrained in their religion and social structure. It not exactly hard to understand why so many Pals allow their stupidity to continue; and it does.
Wasn't that the project that used a billion engines which was begging for horrible failure? If I am remembering correctly, it's much more likely that it would of been a horrible death trap rather than a success story.
I worked for an employer. I he owed me around $12,000 dollars. He decided that he didn't he would go out of business and not pay me. He planed this up front. The courts do not call this theft even though, clearly, he stole my time and services.
Anyone with a single brain cell, know this was theft. Illegally copying music is theft. In a nut shell; did you pay for it and is it supposed to be made available without a fee? If the answer is, "no", then you are a thief. Period.
Any other position is simply toying with words in an attempt to deney they are a thief.
Look people, this is something we all learned in kindergarden. Stop being idiots. If you take something that is not yours, you didn't pay for, and money was expected in exchange, you are a thief. Period.
And compare that with the number of CDs actually purchased. I'm sure that staggering number works out to be something of a percent of one percent. I'd consider that to be very rare indeed.
There is no such law.
Basically, your government says you will and already have illegally copied music. Since he's already been accused and and fined for it, he's doing what he's already been fined for. Legal? Absolutely not! Morale high ground? Absolutely!
If you've already paid for it, it would be fairly dumb not to take it. Most people call this concept extortion. The RIAA calls is pre-paid theft, since they already know your a worthless criminal.
All US DAT owners already paid their right to steal too. Though, honestly, I'm not sure if the RIAA tax is still included any more. Anyone know?
Couldn't resist a second reply. Read the entire thread. I certainly do not think that Israel is without blame. Having said that, anyone that bothers to learn the facts will quickly adopt the same opinion that I have. Which is, kill the idiots or hope they learn how to stop murdering people. ONLY then will there be peace. Period.
It doesn't matter how you feel about it. If you like. If you don't. Frankly, I couldn't care less if you agree. I'm talking it right from the horse's mouth. The Pals want to murder every last Israelie possible, which is exactly how and why this whole dang thing started. It just so happened they are very stupid and picked on a country that can easily kick their stupid butts.
So, nothing you've stated changes the simple fact that their STATED GOAL IN LIFE is to MURDER EVERY ISREALIE.
As for settlements, I think you need to bother to do some research. There has been some poor offerings and there has been some excellent offerings. The response from the Pals, "taking out land back will never be enough. All of the Zionist Jews must die." Obviously paraphrased.
According to you, they should get their land back and be left alone while they continue to murder jews. You're either ignorant of the facts, and idiot, or a Pal (the last two are pretty much the same thing).
I've done a fair amount of reading on this. I USED to feel very badly for those the worthless Pals. If you can't find and/or have yet to read actual facts which support everything I'm telling you, you obviously have done ZERO FRIGGEN research on the topic. Seriously. This is like, Middle East 101 crap. Seriously. None of this is hard to find. Not one bit.
Until you bother to learn the facts and both sides of the story, you're only sounding rather ignorant.
Great stuff. Now bother to learn WHY those things are happening.
As for the land: It's now their friggen land. Spoils of war. Of course it's going to be used. Duh! No surprise there. If anything, it highlights the Palestinian stupidity for passing up the many chances they had to get their land back. Until Palestinians make an effort to have peace, stop trying to murder and kill ALL FRIGGEN JEWS, Palestinians are not going to get their land back. Opps. I let some facts out. Sorry.
such a change of policy is highly questionable. the opposite is taking place right now:
Not really considering its been on the table for ever, in exchange for peace. But, sadly, the Palestinians would rather kill all jews than get their land back. When you bother to learn some more facts, you'll soon understand that the land is a poor excuse that ignorant people latch on to. Simple fact is, even if the land was not in contention, the Palestinians would actively be working to mass murder jews. Go learn about the last two, three or four peace settlements put on the table by Israel. Each time, btw, the Palestinian response was, no, was can't do that until all jews in Israel are dead. What pigs. They deserve their deaths.
let us compare who is killing whom:
Ya, then bother to learn why. Just because Israel is smarter and more successful, doesn't make them wrong. If we use your logical, anyone that has ever won a war is wrong. Thankfully, I'll elect to use my brain and understand how those facts come into play. Which is, largely orthogonally. Since you brought it up, it's important that you realize that Israel is *almost* always working in REPSONSE to terrorist actions by Palestinians. If the Palestinians would stop mass murdering people, Isreal would too.
well, Israel is considering removing of all Palestinians into Jordan. In other countries this is called ETHNIC CLEANSING.
Or, they are left with their only other option, which is genocide. They have no choice. There it is again. Those dam facts. Hate it when facts punch a hole in your misguided efforts.
i can not verify what is beeing taught in schools, because I have never been there. have you? OTOH i can tell for sure what the Israeli public is discussing.
Or, you can look at public statements and news reals to learn facts from the horse's mouth. Simple fact is, Palestinians are being taught to hate. Palestinians are encouraged to sucide bomb and murder people. Palestinians are taught they being a marter is a good thing. Palestinians are taught that should the elect to become a marter, their family will be compensated, as such, if they love their parents (and any good zealot does), they should do this to help them out.
I hate it when facts are offered which punch holes in blind ignornace, such as you own. Now, go bother to learn the whole story and not just one side of it. Trust is usually somewhere in between the two.
Good post.
In a long post I offered, several back, I guess I didn't make it clear. Israel is certainly not without blame to share, however, they certainly have the morale high ground to stand on.
I agree with everything you said. The guy you replied to makes many interesting points, but sadly, almost all are completely orthogonal to the discussion. In other words, they really have absoluetely nothing to do with the issues at hand.
Which is more realistic: That the world's 4th largest nuclear power (Israel) will be wiped off the map, or that the nation that it occupies, which has almost 80% of its land officially taken, and has siezed for settlements and security buffers 75% of the rest
Completely orthogonol to the discussion. Their size has nothing to do with it.
and has half its populaton with chronic malnutrition will be wiped off the map?
Ahh! Good point. Now, ask your self why so many people are in poor health and suffer from such conditions. Maybe because they suffer from poor leadership which they blindly follow whos stated goal is to kill ALL jews. Time and time again, the Palestinians have had a route for peace. Time and time again, they had the chance to dramatically make life much better. Time and time again, they've had the option to become a world recognized nation with a voice in the UN so that they could eventually get all their lan back. Do they do what makes sense? No! They train children to blindly and ignorantly hate jews. They encourage people that suicide bombings are the work or heros and marters. They pay families for the stupidity of their children, having murdered dozens of innocent people.
The whole damn war exists because of Palestinian stupidity. Israel finished the war that Palestinian started. Israel offered to give ALL their figgen land back if only they would appologise. They refused. What idiots. What losers. In stead, their response was, since we failed this time, we vow to never stop until all jews are dead and we have our land back. hat idiots.
I used to feel bad for the Palestinians until I learned more about it. Simple fact is, there isn't enough Palestinians being killed. That sounds harsh, but the simple fact is, one of two things have to happen for the violence to end. One, the Palestinians can make an effort for peace; which i doubtful because they are blindly educated to ensure that never happens. Or two, all of them are dead. I hate genocide and consider it to be very, very wrong, but the jews are not being left with any options.
So, I know this isn't the popular opinion nor is it even politically correct, but such as it is, until one of those two things happen, the more Palestinians that are killed, the safer innocent life in Israel is going to be.
Think about it for a second. Who is taking whose land? I'm not talking about the past: I'm talking about the present.
You're right. They are taking the land from a war they didn't start and offered to give back. Furthermore, Israel has offered many times for peace, whereby, just for starters, they would get 85% of their land back. Then, once they proved they they would act like adults and stop actively training terrorists, they could then neogotiate for the last bits of land. Do they do that? Nope. They are ignorant zealots that deserve to die because this is completely their making. Ohh....those poor people are being attacked because they are criminals working hard to mass murder all jews. Use your head. Learn more about this before you post again. If you realy not not biased and have an open mind, I promise, you'll feel as I do once you learn the facts. Those poor
Palestinians are getting everything they deserve. Now then, should they actually make an effort to have peace, and the violence from Israel continues, I'll do a 180. Until such time, kill, kill those damn muderous thugs known as Palestinians. Their deaths are directly related to their constant stupidity and terorrist actions.
Having worked for a large "Gaming Company", I can assue you the ability exists to rip people off, royally, and still keep plenty of interest by the people playing. Besides, statistically, those that want to gamble online or much more likely to have a gambling problem where they can't stop and common sense is thereby, completely ignored.
All I know is, the Isaelies have made many attempts to make things better and the response is always, not until all Jews are dead. Doesn't seem like there can be enough dead Palestinians when they put it that way.
I mean, come on, when your highest regarded leader is a terrorist, it's not exactly hard to figure out why Palestinians die on a regular basis.
They could easily have peace if the Palestinians had the foggiest idea what honor, respect, and murder means. Until the Palestinians actually try to do something other than mass murder, they deserve what they get!
Except that SMB is a protocol, not an API. On top of that, US law already exists which specifically grants alternate protocol implementations for sake of compatibility purposes. In the event MS thought they had something to move on, precident and law would be against them. They wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
No, I can't see how this is going to effect project like Samba in the least.
That's not entirely true.
People specificially went to Dell to buy a pc/linux combo, however, most couldn't find it was offered. Worse, it was only offered on select models. On top that, of the select models, it was only offered for server configurations. Desktop users were out. On top of that, even on the models that it was offered, the website failed to offer it or make it generally available. And, don't hold me to this last part, but I seem to recall, even if you did manage to order a server with Linux on it, you still paid the MS tax.
In otherwords, Dell has never made a serious attempt to sale Linux. I have met with Dell internal support and infrastructure right before this all happened. To say they were fairly Linux clueless was an understatement. They know and sale MS. Period.
Dell never seriously attempted to sale Linux. At best, they did it to better their MS contact position (specuation on my part).
Because Dell's effort was completely half-assed, at best. Dell made as much effort to sale Linux as you wanna kiss your friend's date's ugly girlfriend. Simple fact is, if someone actually makes an attempt, they make actually be able to do something with it.
Dell's attempt was worthless and self defeating.
LOL!
Very, very sad.
Hopefully one day you'll wake from your coma. In the mean time, we all pity you. Well, not true. Not all of us. Some of us will just laugh and point.
