CRM is actually quite a acinating product. It's like a super grep where you can match against blocks of text instead of just lines. It also has some logic operators and such. I think there is a quote on his web site that refers to it as "grep bitten by a radioactive spider" and it's true.
You can use it for lot more then spam processing, it's a really neat all purpose tool.
1) fine grained ACLs. The ability to control who commits and who does not. 2) Support for code reviews. In other words conditional commits or a commit que where code sits waiting to be reviewed. There should be ACLs regarding who can review too. 3) Support for builds and tests. The commit should not occur until the code builds and tests OK.
You do realize that there is a military occupation of iraq and israel right now right?
As for the rest yes you are right. During world war II the US had a policy of targeting cities and civillians. As a result we killed millions of people.
Today we don't have an official policy of targeting cities and civillians but we kill lots of them by accident anyway.
None of this has any real relevance to the original topic. The original poster (was that you?) claimed that the world is in a state of peace and has been for the last few decades. That's patently untrue.
We have been in constant war the only difference is that it's better managed and conducted with more vigorous public relations.
"The *global* war on terrorism is more of a law enforcement issue than a military one."
I disagree. We have fought this war with the army not the interpol or the CIA. In Iraq, afghanistan, phillipines, and south america we have mobilized our army to go fight this war.
"Nothing like the firebombings of Dresden or Tokyo has been seen since then"
First of all I agree that nothing like that has been seen since then. We are not allowed to see such things anymore. I disagree with yout metrics though. I don't care about the weight of the bomb dropped or the percentage of people killed. I think a true measure is the actual number of human beings killed and maimed.
The estimates for the first gulf war were anywhere from 200,000 to 300,000 killed. The civillian count for the second gulf war is around 10,000. If we presume that our weapons are accurate and that we were trying to minimize civillian deaths I figure out accident rate was under 5%. This means that another 200,000 people probably died in the second gulf war. I have no idea how many people died in afghanistan at all.
That's an awful lot of people killed just by our country. Add up all the other people in all the other countries that have been killed and it's not a pretty picture.
Face it we live in a state of constant war. As if that wasn't enough we have declared an unending war on top of all that.
Mmmm hard to say. Total wars have always been pretty rare. World war one and two certainly were global in scope but then again world war 3 (war on terrorism) is also global in scope.
Maybe not grenada but certainly bombing of kosovo, iraq (twice), and afghanistan were certainly on the scale of dresden if not more so.
The main difference seems to be that modern wars are fought with more sophisticated PR and press control. For example we have no idea how many people were killed in afghanistan or iraq. Also we were not allowed to see any dead people on TV. The whole war was conducted like a reality tv show.
I think that todays wars are just as destructive as the wars of old it's just that they don't seem that way because your view into them is tightly controlled.
Anyway war is a war. The US can't seem to go a few years without dropping bombs on some place or another mostly to make political hay at home.
How come python does not have something like CPAN. I was looking for a way to map windows drives in python and I could not find anything by googling. I went to CPAN and had it working in 15 minutes.
I am trying to learn python but I really regret not having a central searchable repository of code that can be automatically downloaded and installed.
For that matter why is it no other language has something like CPAN. It seems so obviously useful.
While I am whining....
How come there is no standard database abstraction layer. DBI is so awsome. I really want to have cached recordsets!.
First of all spelling nazis can suck my cock.
Secondly you have no right to ask me anything because you are willing to let uneducated and untrained people perform surgery on people.
To a degree yes.
Would you let any old shmoe off the street operate on you? Why not? They don't need a degree do they?
I would not let a joe off the street fix my plumbing, roof my house, defend me in court, operate on me, or give me scientific advice.
I want to know that they are properly educated and experienced first.
Ooooh. A person with a link to the washington times in his signature telling us that syria has WMDs.
Yes I think i'll believe you when pigs fly with aid of magic monkey fairy dust.

We better pray that some country does not hand the iraqis or al-quada similar weapons.
US armed the afghans with stingers and that fact more then anything else defeated the russians.

In CVS you could set the ownership of each project to a particular group to control commit access. Can you do something similar in SVN?

Can you think if a span of ten years in in your lifetime when the US has not wages war with some country or another?

Jeez that was witty. Judging by your comment I can confidently say that I am more qualified then you to make ANY decision on ANY offer on AMY subject.
Don't move to Darby Montana if you want your kids to be educated. see here Of course you were not really planning on moving there anyway were you?
To a degree yes. Would you let any old shmoe off the street operate on you? Why not? They don't need a degree do they?
