    In short, you didn't scope out the requirements for IntelliJ by asking the developers which tools they wanted to use, testing the performance against existing systems, and evaluating performance on a faster system. How is that JetBrain's fault?

  8. What I don't like are government nannies dictating standards that are out of place everywhere but a few big cities. And I dislike bureaucrats who regard breaking their rules as 'malicious.'

    Don't want government regulations in your nick of the woods? Too bad. Those big cities used to be small towns at one point. Today's small towns will become big cities as the U.S. population grows to 438 million and rising sea levels renders populated land uninhabitable on the coasts by mid-century.

    As moderate conservative, I take anything and everything from both conservative and liberal news sources with a grain of salt. People who cite only conservative or only liberal sources to back up their arguments are often unwilling to consider the other side's viewpoints. I consider both sides and can argue both sides. Something that frustrates my anti-American/pro-Israeli Jewish roommate when we talk about Middle East politics.

    The Fox News echo chamber values lies over facts, which I tend to dismiss out of hand. For example, a student won a prestigious scholarship in New York City. Fox News ran the story without a picture because the student was black. Other news sources ran the picture. Of course, Fox News denies that there is any racial bias in their news coverage. For the outside observer, Fox News does have a racial bias in their reporting and most of their viewers are unaware that it is a problem.

    The Republican filibustered everything in the Senate, requiring 60 votes to get anything done and the Democrats didn't have a filibuster-proof majority. The same filibuster that President Obama and the Democrats recently used to frustrate the Republican disapproval vote over the Iranian negotiations because the Republicans lack a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. The American voters wisely chose not to give the Republicans a veto-proof majority in 2014.

    The Export-Import bank has been existence for 81 years to facilitate the sales of American-made products, renewed with bipartisan majorities in the Congress until this year. Both Democratic and Republican presidents signed those renewals. Why did crony capitalism become an issue THIS YEAR? Probably because ObamaCare is no longer an effective wedge, as the Republican presidential candidates barely mentioned it during the recent debate.

    Again, you keep linking to the conservative media. Has it ever occurred to you that the conservative media just might be manipulating you with lies told a thousand time over as the truth?

    The number one rule regarding Microsoft OSes is not to install the OS with the network cable plugged in. That's the quickest way of getting hacked and compromised before you can get the latest updates to prevent being hacked. Install the OS and patches offline before connecting it to the Internet.

    I did a PC refresh project at one Fortune 500 company where the software engineer had 40 half-empty cups of moldy coffee sitting on his desk. I got permission from my boss to skip upgrading that user's PC, my boss escalated the issue with the client company, and the engineer got fired. A hazmat team had to dispose of the cups and sanitize the cube.

    The problem with the stimulus was that it was too small. It should have been two- to three-times larger to have a significant impact on the economy. Alas, the Republicans forced President Obama to settle for a much smaller number. As for the shovel ready jobs, the states were allowed to pay off other bills with the money that should have went into construction.

    As for Export-Import Bank, Boeing is moving 500 U.S. jobs to Europe because it's customers can't get insurance and loan guarantees.

    Have you ever consider these questions:

    • Never mind that Obamacare was based on RomneyCare, which was based on a proposal from the American Heritage Foundation?
    • Or that the Republicans sponsored or co-sponsored 200+ amendments that went into the final ObamaCare that they all voted against?
    • Or that reversing ObamaCare would substantially INCREASE the deficit, cause turmoil in the healthcare market and kick millions of people off insurance?
    • Or that the Republicans have no viable alternative to ObamaCare because President Obama pulled a Bill Clinton by making the healthcare reform his own and forcing the Republicans to vote against their own policy ideas?

    As a moderate conservative, I can tell you that most Republicans are clueless to how the actual economy works.
