Yes, If the higher ups decide that the plane is going to do a 9/11 style attack the pilots will get the order to shoot it down.

Because it's easier.

So she has a history of sexual assault, yet her reaction to a pervy prof asking for nude photos was to send the photos rather than saying to herself "learning some physics is not worth this crap" and blocking him on facebook/email/whatever and sending the logs/etc to the university.

Yes he is the one abusing his position of authority. he is the one at fault (taking MIT's investigation of the matter at face value - I don't have the details they have after all). That doesn't mean she can't make some better decisions in the future.

If it was a prof at a university you were attending who you will bump into over and over again over the next few years and who is respected by the rest of the academic staff you deal with you have an actual dilemma since they can screw you over if you don't comply with their abuse. But in this case there's no loss in just bailing out - well other not getting to have a perv teach you physics which sounds like a plus really.

Dish's market cap is $34 billion. If they fine them $16,000 for of the 57 million calls then Dish certainly won't be making anymore...

Should we mandate that all cars should smell strongly of rotten eggs, just in case a someone is looking the other way in an environment with a lot of background noise drowning out the mandated fake engine noise?

Obviously not.

You can't produce a signed contract saying that you are to murder Mary Jane in order to void laws against murdering Mary Jane.

You can't produce a contract saying you owe Bob $100,000 and hence those laws saying you have to pay a fine (and thus couldn't pay Bob) are void.

Neither the Chicago Manual of Style nor the Associate Press Style Guide capitalize such pronouns, so thats hardly a universal convention.

People not following you personal conventions makes sentences not understandable, too? That's even worse.

I've added some errors above so I guess all hope is lost of any of that making sense anyway.

You'd have to retarded to not be able to work out what they meant. Life must be really terrible when one character out of place in a sentence can render it not understandable for you.

Because those at the top know the 5th is their friend, but don't care much about the 4th since their crimes tend not to be about hiding objects - money is easy to move overseas after all.

The 5th matters for house and senate committees which matter to those at the top.

Sure, other than the fact that his company does in fact manufacturer drugs in asia, with manufacturing sites in both China and India.

There's a rather large hint in the name of the company.

Obviously I'm expecting a quote from him giving that message not the exact words you used.

So again do you have any evidence?

"we do not always live up to the responsibility we have towards society. Irresponsible behaviour is tainting the image of our industry and puts society at risk." - we includes himself obviously, that's the meaning of the damn word after all. So there's some evidence of the exact opposite of you made up shit (no evidence so far, so I'll take that side of the or for now).

Show me the quote were he says "not us", or are you making shit up?

Crazy?

Landing your rocket on a fuel depot. Of course not! What could possibly go wrong? :)

That would remove the directory itself, which rm -rf "$STEAMROOT"/* would not. And of course any .* files in that directory.

rm -rf "$STEAMROOT"

would be the equivalent of your command, no need for the if exists since "rm -rf" is a no-op (the -f will surpress the missing operand error).

But yes I can't imagine every doing a "remove this entire tree" without checking that the tree is what you think it is. Better to skip unknown directories/files within that directory really and leave those (and the parent) be - though that is significantly more difficult and thus bug prone (harder to make a bigger bug than this one though).

It obviously means "assume one backup is bad". Backup media fails too after all.

Sure that's not enough for a silver bullet. But can you really not understand that simple statement (you don't have to agree of course)?
