But apparently that is not something you'll let stop you from having opinions on it?
"The Buddhists" are not some coherent group. And just because a religion teaches righteous behavior, that is no guarantee that those ideals will actually be followed. Power corrupts, and just because you're supposed to be a Buddhist does not make you immune to that.
That is certainly no surprise. A large part of the people who work in IT support are the kind of people who confuse familiarity with computers with intelligence.
You don't really come off sounding like you're saying "we can't be sure". You seem more like you're pushing the opposing view. If that's not the case, then I misread you, and I apologize.
Proof grasp of set-theoretic vocabulary aside, I'd rather think that the intersection is pretty close to the null set, seeing as how the flat earthers are a JOKE. And the joke is, pretty much, on you.
You're obviously being spoon-fed by domestic propaganda when you feel able to assert without doubt that the Georgian military attacked Russian forces first.
"At what point"? At the point where he said it, I guess.
If you actually meant to ask "why", then it's for the same reason that it's presumptuous of me to say "we don't really know anything about cell biology". Sure, there is a lot we don't know, but there is also a whole lot we DO know, and just because I personally am completely ignorant of the topic doesn't mean I get to talk about what "we know".
I never claimed there is any such thing. I merely claimed that "zappepcs" up there has no business making claims about what other people do or do not know about any topic which he himself is not an expert in.
It is quite presumptuous and downright insulting of him to make claims about "we" don't know, if he is not actually part of that "we".
There's absolutely no reason such a functionally identical attack would not work against any operating system you care to name,
Well, the enormous hassle involved in getting software outside of a repository installed on a Linux system would leave it quite hardened against this kind of attack.

Of course, a) they were already under a pretty damn oppressive regime, and b) it certainly didn't take fifty years for things to improve.
Stop it with the strawmen already.
The usual figure given for the average lifespan of a Tibetan, pre-Chinese-takeover, is 36 years. What does that suggest to you?
That could just be natural progress.
The average lifespan was, as usually quoted, 36 years. Think about that for a little bit.
It's not like Tibetans are superstitious to the point of being harmful to themselves like some cultural groups.
36 years.
So you'd rather let people keep suffering and dying because they'll fix it sooner or later if you just leave them alone?
Do you have any evidence that this is not so?
It was a little bit worse than having an "out-of-date religion", you know. That's a pretty lame strawman argument.
All right, I'll bite: is China's authoritarian system which brutally suppresses free speech and competing ideas about government any better?
Considering that the average lifespan in Tibet has increased pretty dramatically since the Chinese took over from the lamas, then yes, it is better.
I know little of Tibetian Bhuddism

License managers generally deal with time a lot, and it's the license manager which is buggy.

I don't think you can read any futher implication into that post than that the original poster has a bit of a self-confidence problem.

Weren't you just proudly claiming to do just that?
Anybody can close their eyes to facts they don't like. That hardly makes one an unbiased observer.
It sure makes it easier to feel good about oneself if one just believes everybody else is very stupid.

And you aren't?
Why the obsession dark matter?
How about because MOND completely and utterly fails to describe the Bullet cluster?

Yeah, and you know about those.

We have no idea how most of that worked and only a vague idea of what is happening now.
You mean, you have no idea. Don't project your own ignorance onto others.

The days when Slashdot could bring down a big-money website are long since past. Pipes are ever fatter, but Slashdot sure isn't growing.
I think the basic idea is that if you can't see it, you can't see how bad it looks.
