it's not human-readable, even after you've worked extensively with Perl for a couple of decades.
Which pretty much makes you a masochist. I used perl for a project once because it was the only language I could get to talk to MSSQL from Linux without screwing up. I dread maintaining it.
So we have an aspie here who would admittedly and uncompromisingly rather use an unstable mess of cobbed-together parts(including the distro itself), because that's the way baby likes it and everybody else is wrong.
That mentality is everything that's wrong with fostering acceptance of the Linux desktop.
It's Linux, you can have it the way you want it. When he gets up tomorrow morning he will have a desktop that he likes. And you'll still be a flaming asshole.
The point is arguable. If you wish to by disabled hardware, yes it is your right to do so. I suppose it is their right to sell you broken stuff, even if they broke it on purpose.
I'll stick by my point, it is my right not to buy products that the vendor screws up on purpose.
What is the relevance of an affordable, certified "real Android tablet" to the Kindle Fire or the Nook? Just because there isn't a product on the market that satisfies your desire to not pay anything doesn't mean that Amazon and B&N have to satisfy your thriftiness by opening up their tablets.
Absolutely right. If B&N and Amazon want to sell you hardware that you don't 'own' in the traditional sense, there is nothing forcing you to buy it.
You can't have snoo-snoo in the kitchen. It's unhygenic!
You are definitely buying in to way too much cleaning product fear mongery if you will forgo snoo-snoo in the kitchen to avoid placing a germ somewhere.
OTOH, maybe you may not have an immune system and should possibly avoid snoo-snoo altogether.
If you like historical romps the whole "Flashman" series by George MacDonald Fraser are excellent, and they even include one that centres on the events of Harpers Ferry. The concept is that Flashman (the bully from "Tom Brown's School Days") is expanded on and his life after being expelled is explained. In his memoirs he describes how he became a hero and celebrated soldier all the while he was a scoundrel, coward and cad. Excellent series of books. Apparently when it was first published, at least one reviewer thought it was a real memoir.
I'll second that. Flashman is a self avowed coward and rake, repeatedly dragged into great turning points in history, and he always comes out smelling like a rose. But you like him in spite of all that.
I just ran something I'm working on in Nightly. The first thing it does is to determine what it can about the client.
var comp;
for( comp in window.navigator ) {... }
The code above should give values of comp for the keys in window.navigator, but comp remains undefined and the code raises an exception when window.navigator[comp] is examined in the loop. This would be the loop that should fail to execute if there are no values for comp.
I can't say anything about the release, I don't use windows so it probably isn't available to me, but Nightly is broken.
This is why the first act of any reform or revolution movement must be to set up an iron wall between money and politics. I don't fucking care if politicians have to dress in garbage bags and work in chains, and live in prison cells. They've fucked us over for the last time. They are paid generous public salaries, there is no reason they should be allowed private profit on the side so that they can sell regulation to the highest commercial bidder.
The billions gambled in Wall Street were backed by the government. In fact, the government you praise bail them out. How many arrests were made in the recent Wall Street scandals?
The government deregulated Wall Street, this is the problem. I don't think anyone is praising the way any of that was (is being) handled. None of that is going to change as long as Corporations can donate unlimited money anonymously to political campaigns.
At the end of the day, you would be hard pressed to show me a belief in the Torah or Bible that actually encourages bad behavior, especially the Christian understanding of the bible. You can show me men professing faith who commit bad deeds, but that is nothing unusual for ANY belief system.
Teaching kids creationism
Banning books
Anti abortion laws (not to mention murdering doctors)
Crusading against scientific endeavours that religions do not approve of
No sex ed in schools
etc.
These are not things that people do, they are things that religions do. People who support religions lend credence to these activities, so they are guilty by association whether they agree with them or not. By subscribing to a religion, you become an advocate of that religion and all that it does.
Sounds like it could be a profitable job. How does one apply?
Purely for satisfying curiosity, of course. I'd never steal money from children who can't count. It's much more fun to steal it from the ones who can.
Neither would she. I bought some bus tickets from her once, and chatting forgot to take them. She didn't remember not giving them to me the next day, but she believed me. She wouldn't shortchange a school kid.

All you are saying is that anything is possible. Granted. However harmful beliefs in the highly improbable are not something that anyone can be reasonably required to condone in others, or ones self. If you are telling me that your belief in a higher being means that you will not condone abortion, certain kinds of research, my own scientific beliefs, for which there is evidence, or my religion (which is likely just as bad), &etc. then your beliefs are harmful to me, and are not only not deserving of my respect, they are something I must resist.
Religion of all kinds falls into the category of a harmful influence on society. Any good influence religion may have on society is pure coincidence and does not make up for the rest.

A cabin on a boat is where you sleep. The cabin of a car (or airplane) is where you sit. The cockpit is where the driver(s) sit.
The word "cabin" has been used to describe the interior space of cars for quite a while.
Where did cockpit originate? Feel free to be imaginative.
shipments can come by any delivery means, except the post office, then it's salvage.
Can't help you with cargo.
Boats have cabins, cars have interiors.
It's a ship not a boat.
Which 'it'? A ship is a big boat.
The point is arguable. If you wish to by disabled hardware, yes it is your right to do so. I suppose it is their right to sell you broken stuff, even if they broke it on purpose.

Muslims are rewriting history to conceal the truth.
The Jews are doing that as well.

You could say that about any of them.
I met a sweet little old lady convinced that all Muslims were out to kill Americans because "they think that we are the great white Satan."
That little old lady is way off base, everyone thinks that, not just Muslims
What rot.

I don't use windows so it probably isn't available to me
I don't get what you mean here. Firefox is most certainly not a "Windows-only" product.
New releases usually are though. Other OS's are generally released later on.
The current latest release for both Linux i686 & MAC OS X is 8.01. Curiously, the current latest release for Windows appears to be the same.
As for Nightly breaking often, no it doesn't, and I am aware that it is pre-release.
I just ran something I'm working on in Nightly. The first thing it does is to determine what it can about the client.
var comp; ... }
for( comp in window.navigator ) {
The code above should give values of comp for the keys in window.navigator, but comp remains undefined and the code raises an exception when window.navigator[comp] is examined in the loop. This would be the loop that should fail to execute if there are no values for comp.

Campaign money is not the problem the people granting favors for the campaign money are the problem.
Which is what the campaign money buys. Without the favours, there would be no money.
This is why the first act of any reform or revolution movement must be to set up an iron wall between money and politics.
