    Quadafee was also fucking insanely rich. Didn't help when it came time for the knife enema.

    At that level they measure wealth in 'power'. But if they lose, they die.

    Constant attacks are worth five billion?

    People must hate 'the media' more than I thought.

  4. Trump asked them for copies of Hillary's emails. A server that was already down at the time.

    They didn't deliver. If the Ruskys wanted Trump elected, they would have delivered all the emails.

    Same reason Cheney isn't. The DNC and RNC have 'mutually assured destruction' level dirt on each other.

    How many 3+ standard deviation people are we supposed to believe you know?

    Same crit as you gave the GP. I doubt you know even one.

  9. They're already not 'common carriers' so they really didn't lose anything by curating.

    The solution is to reestablish 'common carrier' protections for those web forums that deserve it.

  10. Woodward claims to have interviewed William Casey while Casey was in a coma, near death.

  11. Cheney personally managed the Iran/Iraq war/stalemate under Reagan.

    He had a reason, restart the the Sunni/Shia stalemate. They just couldn't say it.

    That's because we can read silently. Try it, might cut down on coworker complaints in the cube farm.

  13. No. It's the DNC and RNC running scared that someone will force/trigger them to dump the dirt they have on each other, ending both parties.

    Both establishments HATE Trump.

    My money is on Sessions, perhaps one of his cronys.

    Your intelligence agencies are prevented by charter from snooping on domestic servers, not that it really stops them.

    But the 80 year old end run is '3 eyes' (now 15 eyes, or so). They spy on each other's citizens, abracadabra, nobody has constitutional privacy protections.

  16. Done by noplace.

    In some places they ban citizens from owning guns and bombs. But not sane places. The most dangerous people to allow to have guns are governments.

  17. Remember kids are too small to handle pistols and rifles safely.

    They are much better suited to crew served weapons. Machine guns and mortars. Where their low strength is less of an issue and they can learn teamwork.

  18. I dare you to walk up to a black boy and call him 'boy'.

  22. Re:A new pile. on The State of Agile Software in 2018 (martinfowler.com) · · Score: 1

    Agile is a manifesto, it's not 'loosey goosey' or anything that specific.

    Rapid iteration waterfall with all the stages renamed and additional rituals, is a lot like Scrum.

    Business needs often change more rapidly than development cycles can complete. Consulting, in house, software as a service devs all know that a hard absolutely fixed spec isn't reality. Better to design the system to accommodate change. Be very suspicious when the uses claim to have a 'dead tight spec', they only think they do.

    'Shrink wrap' software is just different, 90% of devs are not in that mode. It has to put it's flexibility into configuration, which leads to _pigfucks_ like SAP or Oracle apps.

    All it took to destabilize the mideast was killing the dictator that was keeping a lid on the 1300 year old war. At this point, they will be at war with each other until their oil is worth less than the extraction cost. Yeah!

    No amount of government spending would have done anything, it's almost all wasted on rent seekers.

    Just wait until sovereign nations 'realize' that national debt to China can be defaulted on, just like any other. Agreements to arbitrate in Chinese courts hold no weight.

    The Sunni/Shia war is about 1300 years old. It's _not_ a terrible outcome.

    'Divide your enemy and set them to war with each other.' You can't claim it doesn't work.
