Okay, so he is a raging douchebag. No sure where you get the assertion that our tax dollars are funding him however. In fact (from the same wikipedia page you linked, the following paragraph in fact);

The American Jewish Committee condemned the Yosef's remarks, stating that "Rabbi Yosef’s remarks -- suggesting outrageously that Jewish scripture asserts non-Jews exist to serve Jews -- are abhorrent and an offense to human dignity and human equality [...] Judaism first taught the world that all individuals are created in the divine image, which helped form the basis of our moral code. A rabbi should be the first, not the last, to reflect that bedrock teaching of our tradition." [34] The remark was also condemned by the Anti-Defamation League.[35]

So yeah. He is a crazy old lunatic who spouts hateful rhetoric. But I'm not sure how we're either funding him or how he is altogether relevant in any way.

No, that *is* a monthly estimate. If you read the linked source it stated an estimated 5 million annual deaths, so I simply divided the figure by 12. 5,000,000 / 12 ~ 416666.667, so I rounded down to allow margin for error that wasn't in my favour.

Source?

Also, even if your stats are true, globally 609 dead per month from terrorism in comparison to the global total of 4,680,652 (from http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/ipc/pcwe) is negligeble. Considering the number of average monthly deaths from smoking alone is over 410000 (http://www.quitsmokingsupport.com/global.htm), I'm not sure how you can justify your statement of "not "quite small"...

And of course the most important thing here is her reaction, right? Not what actually happened?

Irrespective of her reaction, do you feel what happened to her is acceptable?

Sorry mate, but some of the advice you give is rubbish:

- "more professional to have a @companyname e-mail over @gmail."

You do know you can use google apps for your own domain, right?

- "I don't know if you are currently using or plan to use active directory"

You do know that Active Directory is a requirement for Exchange, right?

That's probably why Belgium is such a dominant global power.

You know, if you just replace 'Assange' with 'The US government', and the 'publishing documents' bit with 'invade and occupy Afghanistan and Iraq' you whole statement still makes perfect sense and is still true?

Food for though, certainly.

Because managers from beancounting backgrounds don't think in terms of milestones and projects, but in terms productivity and achieved hourly rates. ie *how you are doing it*, rather than *what you are doing*.

Creation is not solely defined by format or size of your file.

I'm more implying that the real innovations in gaming as a serious medium of artistic expression and gameplay variations (as opposed to arcade games, which are designed to be nothing more than puerile and addictive shallow entertainment) occurred on the PC; here is a small list of genre launching/breakthrough games:

Civilisation
Railroad Tycoon
Wolf 3D
Elite
Doom
Daggerfall
SimCity
Fallout
XCOM
Dune 2
Flight Simulator

I could go on. Apart from platformers and JRPGs, any games that now matter have their roots in PC gaming.

And nothing of value would have been lost.

Nice troll, but some managers *do* come from a technical background. The best COO I've ever worked with spent 10 years in sysops and data center management before being promoted to his position.

Which is the intention of the license. So what's your point?

RTFK

Okay, here are some contries where they don't give a shit about your passport (from personal experience):

- Poland
- Czech republic
- Norway
- Australia
- New Zealand
