Hating the ideology is fine, hating practitioners of Islam simply because they believe it is not.
I agree that is the ideal, the allies should have hated Nazism as an ideology whereas they should not have hated practitioners who simply believed it. Ideally we should always give people the chance to reform where to do so does not put others at risk, bearing in mind the necessity of punishment as a deterrent.
I freely admit that I don't always live up to that ideal, when I read about Muslims holding little girls by the hair before shooting them at point-blank range, kidnapping and raping women, or destroying buildings full of innocents I feel some hatred towards the people, not just Islam.
Currently there are massive riots in The Ukraine, Venezuela, Thailand; signs of growing civil unrest in central Europe - reports of riots in Brazil; All countries of course known for their muslim leadership...
You might like to compare the reasons fro rioting with those that cause muzzies to riot
Its worse then that, their little graph only shows a handful of riots that they want to be on their.
I dont see any riots that do not meet their own agenda on it, hell the french riot a few times every year, I see none of the Australian riots I know of.
Total BS
And of course Muslim countries are always rioting about something - they don't like a book, a cartoon, or a film or someone said that people of other religions should be given equal rights... or someone said that they are violent and riot all the time.
Why not simply lower the water pressure by 10% to curb water usage?
That might be practical but it depends on geography. You might find that people in low-lying areas need a high pressure just to that the water reaches the houses on the top of the hill. Also it depends on usage - someone with a conventional shower may save water when pressure is reduced, but someone who takes a bath or had a power shower probably won't.
The advantage of using an honest average is that as the households with the highest usage lower their water use, the average goes down on its own. This assumes that anyone already below the average line has their own reasons and will not respond to the data in an unexpected manner.
Saving the most water could become a pissing contest... oh wait!
Why wouldn't prisoners be allowed to vote? One man one vote, no exceptions. Once you make exceptions you can justify anything like not allowing slaves or women to vote either.
That's a daft argument - on the same basis you could say that you shouldn't imprison prisoners or you could justify anything like locking up women.
Especially since, buzzword-compliance excepted, they are by far the least scalable part of your architecture.

Just because they've figured out how to scale it (for some jobs - anything needing reliable repeatable results tends to get surprisingly slow) doesn't mean it wasn't still a damn sight harder than scaling the rest of the stack:)
Yes that's probably true, but now they do have a scalable data layer that fits their purpose.
I bet this is the Muzzies. They have it in for anything that would improve health, as their abominable religion thrives where there is pain, suffering, and misery.
I don't think it is. Whereas you are 100% correct about islam, I would expect physical attacks rather than DDOS attacks from them.
A few problems:
- What about circular reactions?
- Is SQL really that right language for encoding business logic?
- Triggers are kind of an anti-pattern.
- What about atomicity? What if I need the whole reaction chain to work or none of it.
I'm afraid there more questions than answers with this proposed pattern.

A couple of months ago I read Consider Phlebas. I loved the setting which Banks created, but I didn't like the characters. They seemed generic, and I couldn't bring myself to care about them. How is the character development in the other books in the series? Does it get better, or is Banks mainly a world builder?
This is interesting, because I k now what you mean about "generic", but if you read any of his non-SF books like "the crow road" you will see that Banks is absolutely brilliant at characterisation. I think perhaps the bland characters are a natural consequence of a world where there is no shortage, reproduction is separated from sex (if you want it to be) and you can "back up" and be restored in the event of death.
Padova, not Florence
Galileo moved thee in 1592 and he stole Hans Lippershey telescope in 1608.
The Galilean moons where discovered in 1610 with a telescope that had a magnification that was roughly 30x (from the original 3x of Lippershey design)
Disappointed that there were no pictures of the type "this is what Galileo saw.. and this is what Newton saw... and this is with a reasonably priced modern telescope... and this is from an observatory".
That would have put things in perspective

I'd also like to know how much methane is leaked from oil (petroleum) drilling. You see them burning gas off in flares on the rig and refineries, but how much escapes. This is important because if we assume the alternative gives zero methane we may not see the true saving.

Racist much? Maybe not. Islamaphobic much, though?
If you mean hating an ideology that wants to subdue or kill all others then I suppose I am just as islamaphobic as the allies in WWII were naziphobic.
Racists much?
What race is Islam?

To paraphrase, when the government does it, it's not illegal. It would be absurd to expect any other outcome.
Actually in the UK it is a surprise when this happens. From ridiculous court decisions like allowing prisoners to vote, the many judgments that prevented Abu Quartada from neing deported for decades, to many cases when foreign criminals have used human rights law to prevent being deported the courts seem to go against both the government and common sense whenever possible.
If you had the same 4x4 post to my son, he's going to beat the shit out of things.

Law of truly large numbers is the applicable law here, but the mistake is understandable.
In fact fairly probable

The telescope is now in the Museo di Fisica e Storia Naturale, in Florence
I suspect that you'd have to punch a curator and run to take some of those pieces outside...
And travel to Florence to do it.

I'm expecting a report any time now regarding hydrogen-fueled vehicles, and leaks of hydrogen..
look no further, though it is largely positive compared to the alternatives of natural gas and petroleum.

It's time the US did the right thing and opened up ICANN as an internationally let consortium, instead of a consortium that puts domestic needs first.
It time the EU did the right thing and went and fucked itself.
Metaphorically speaking by not keeping a check on the spending of some of the Southern countries (Greece and Spain spring to mind) - it has.
The majority think that Islam is the religion of peace - so why wouldn't they believe in astrology too. Both are patently not based on fact
