The first rule of code reuse is - the code must be worth reusing.
If you're not sure, put it in a fucking SCM & delete away.
If only that were true. I once worked in a team where someone had written a function which took an integer and returned the same value (they were blindly following a pattern where a converter was called stringToInt, intToString and wrote an intToInt because "other cases called a function"). Two other developers had subsequently used this function (copy/paste programming)!
Starting from the Murphy's law on programming:
Every non trivial program has at least one bug
You can derive by rigorous analogy the Murphy's law on not-programming:
Every non written code has exactly zero bugs
I have it - the holy grail, the key to bug free coding. If the deleted code has no bugs just restore the deleted lines and delete the rest. You will then have bug free programs.
Because driving a high efficiency or electric vehicle should be encouraged, not penalized.
Yes, obviously the correct move is to increase tax on fuel until the net revenue is the same. This will recover losses and give an even bigger incentive to be fuel efficient.

Though they are truly vile, in comparison to Islam they are much, much better. None of them have killed any gays (unlike Muslims), or even incited others to do the same. They have not killed anyone for leaving their religion. There is not one incident of a Westboro Baptist carrying out a terrorist act.
Back to my original statement, all religions have their extremes and those people will take offense at any other religion.
Perhaps you could explain how Sikhs could take offence at other religions (except of course when the other religions are trying to kill them) when their teachings explicitly state that all religions must be respected. Sikhism was a reaction to the murderous intolerance of Islam. Or tell me the troubles caused by extremist Jains (who are totally pacifist and live peacefully among Hindus). Your words are just apologies for Islam. The thing is even if it were true that all religions had extremists, the key difference is that Islam's basic teachings are "extremist" (e.g. death penalty for conversion, subduing non-believers, etc), and in my view a crime does not become right just because someone else committed it too.
The same could be said about christians to. As a matter of fact, all religions have their extremes and those people will take offense at any other religion.
Same old lie - all religions are as bad. Find me one Christian organisation today that preaches that atheists are blasphemers and should be killed. Find me one Christian country that wants preaching other religions to be a criminal offence. While you're about it find me one Sikh who claims that his is the "one truer religions" and that all others are blasphemy, or one Jain who believes in violent Jihad.
They hate it, they would kill for it, yet they don't want to see it banned or blocked.
Are they fucking mental challenged? WTF with these people, eh?
Anyone who believes that God chose a pedophile warlord as his prophet, and that his message of "peace" is to kill unbelievers is totally mentally screwed up
For a moment there, I thought you were talking about Salman Rushdie, but then I realized that he just wrote an unfunny 'let's stir some shit up' book, not a movie.
My bad.
So wait, which one do you think deserved to die again?
(I think I still have Satanic Verses in the bookshelf somewhere, just that I can't be arsed to crack it open.)
Just... wow. One could "...easily learn a completely new trade with guaranteed job prospects" in 2 months? Really? "Most people are perfectly capable of building up a 6 month emergency fund..."???
Maybe you don't live in a country with 40% tax, 12% National Insurance and 20% sales tax.
Yhea, same in the Netherlands. 1 job application per week or no welfare. Problem is you are not allowed to apply/take just any job. If you are let's say nuclear physicist and you apply to work as auto-mechanic, they tell you "you should find a job suited for you background, money has been invested in your education" Which is fine and dandy but there are NO 4 open positions per month for nuclear physicist. So?
From free market point of view I do not understand this at all. If a company X can get overqualified person for the announced salary, isn't that good for the company?
I don't know, Doc Brown made a real mess of my DeLorean
....and it's very hard to get a decent job in China unless you're moved there by a multinational and retain your salary and benefits from the home country.

Can I not right now describe myself as two meters tall?
No you can't shortie.
There are 8's, 12's, 16's and, yes, 10's in there if you go to esoteric enough imperial measurements (10 chains in a furlong, for example).
Don't forget that imperial is different to "customary american", there are 20 imperial fluid ounces to an imperial pint, and 16 American customary fluid ounces to an American pint
They should schedule it for implementation immediately after completion of the death-star

In our office they seem to have started with the toilets. By 3:00 pm you have to go from cubicle to cubicle to find one with some paper left!
Have you considered that your Fiancee herself is indeed running those websites, and has a fractured personality?
No, surely that can't be the situation.
Or more likely she is running them to gain sympathy and direct hate towards her ex.
Google Hangouts doesn't support conferencing with an actual real world phone
Excepting Android phones of course!

ISS and where? The Bahamas? Restaurant at the end of the universe? Not a lotta stops within breathing time.

I've tried it, doesn't come close to Word in funvtionnality nor ergonomics nor looks.
Fair enough - I have only used LibreOffice for small documents and it seems OK for that.
Westboro Baptist?

LibreOffice has revision functionality

And so you illustrate the problem. For Muzzies almost anything is blasphemy. being an atheist, holdin a bible study group, or writing a love poem that quotes from the Qur'an. This is why restricting anything that makes the Muzzies riot will end up in us not being able to say anything or express our own beliefs.
Obviously, nobody gets fired for "right leaning views"

But most of these are Muslim savages so it won't make any difference. They already believe it is their divine duty to kill non-Muslims.
When's the last time britain contributed anything of note to the arts and sciences? Isaac Newton? That was a long fucking time ago.
We invented Pop idol and the X-factor ... oh wait you may have a point
Care to elaborate? Because currently this is a completely usless attempt at a rebutal without any substance.
I guess he is referring to the fact that in the UK guidelines on enforcement, prosecution, and sentencing are published - not unpublished

It's actually a fascinating dialect/language to study. I used to be able to speak it, but I can't any more.
I love the Indian English word "prepone" (to bring a meeting forward). Its such a logical opposite of postpone!
