Which color? Amber, green or white?

That would probably be considered "creating a hostile work environment". Definitely sexual harassment. Report to HR for another briefing, please.

Yes, it is anti-competitive. It should not be illegal if you are not a monopoly.

Oblig.

He's saying they are "nuts" because "sarcastic, condescending zealots" is a lot more to type. I'm not particularly religious or spiritual, but I try to avoid mocking others for what they do or do not believe.

Zealous atheists (esp. on Slashfot) often blame religion for lots of evils in the world. GP is asking how they plan on turning this into a negative.

It's kind of like a karma glory hole. Yeah, it's scuzzy and slutty, but anonymous.

Only the most smug and arrogant sneer at others like that.

On a lighter note,

Heh heh. I'm certain that from time to time I am a self-righteous prick, but not this time (not intentionally, anyway). I was pointing out the irony of his conduct vs. his profession of faith, not as evidence that he's a good or bad Christian, but because I think he's carrying out an elaborate troll-on-top-of-a-troll.

Settle down. The point was simple. What he does is more important (and more revealing about who he really is) than what he says.

After the bullshit that was DECAF, do you really believe anything he might have to say about being a Christian? Do you suppose that it just might be another calculated troll?

Thank you.

Well, in the original Slashdot DECAF article, there were a large number of folks who guessed that this might be a piece of malware, or at least not be what it appeared. Given that they were essentially right and the author's credibility now has to be seen as zero, what weight should be given to his profession of faith? I have to wonder if he isn't a non-Christian, since deceiving people is against Christian principles.

DECAF was a meta-troll.

AFAICT, we are constantly told that the EU is so much better in regards to medical care, social programs in general, environmental laws, gun laws, architecture, culture, art, world peace, sexual repression, drug laws, and trading value of the Euro vs. the dollar among other things, much of which is debatable, but hardly relevant here. In general, the world's most developed countries are realizing that more and more of what they ("we", I suppose, since I''m in the US) have to trade on internationally is IP rather than physical goods, which can usually be made cheaper elsewhere. If the developed countries want to keep their riches, they have to keep their IP secure. I think the drive to implement (or "impose", depending on how you look at it) oppressive international IP agreements draws more fire when the US does it because at home and abroad the US is often perceived as an aggressive superpower exporting cultural imperialism. On the other hand, when the EU does it, they are beneficently supporting artists' rights.

If the games you are playing in a VM are DOS / W95, the whole VM should take minimal CPU, memory, and graphics resources. On a modern multi-core multi-ghz PC with 2-4 gigs of RAM, I'd say that makes plenty of sense. One a quad-core x86, you should be able to run 10 old games in parallel W95 vms and still run each better than on an old sub-333mhz pentium the game was originally intended for.

Yup. And AT&T will blame it on the flashmob, not on their network. Presto, another nail in the coffin of unmetered data bandwidth.
