Title says it all.
Then why did you continue writing 11 more sentences?
Probably so that no one will by what he says by virtue of scarcity of his opinion?
It ensures he has "true believers"

(I also haven't gotten religion on Agile. Who's the genius that thought a word representing a bunch of sweaty grunting guys pushing against each other in the mud, expending tons of energy and going nowhere was supposed to make me think of increased nimbleness and productivity?)
? Maybe your problem is a misunderstanding of the word "agile"?
No, I understand Agile perfectly well, TYVM.
agile/ajl/
Adjective:
Able to move quickly and easily: "as agile as a monkey"; "an agile mind".
Synonyms:
nimble - quick - spry - brisk - nippy - alert - lissom
Hardly "a word representing a bunch of sweaty grunting guys pushing against each other in the mud, expending tons of energy and going nowhere"
i don't need to smell your farts
Your head should be next to his head. Not near his ass (because then he will smell your farts too, and one of you would have his hands under the keyboard...).
What if he's got his head up his ass?
Your head would then definitely be near-to his ass.
What do you do?
Crack open the bottle of rum, of course!
"Clothes" is a noun. "Clothe" is a verb.
And "Cthulhu" is both all, and nothing...

"Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's"
Separation of Church and state was preached by Jesus, and it is no coincidence that it emerged in Christian Europe, even if Europe took centuries to start following that teaching.
Except in some (still widely practiced) denominations, this was read as "God made everything, therefore owns everything, so give everything to God"
My father's church was one of them, that implied this meaning when covering this particular passage in Sunday school.
The teachers were livid when I debated it (among other things); needless to say I didn't have to go to church much after that.
This, from the same group of people who preach "Know Christ, Know peace" (pronounced "No Christ, No Peace")
There are fundies and zealots everywhere, even today. That doesn't make it right.
Don't you fellows remember the 1950s? The science fiction from that era was extremely pessimistic.
Looking back on some of the decades following the 50s, apparently, with good reason.
Sure there were restrictions, but you didn't have to buy a complete PC, you just needed to by enough parts from a single shop (in a single purchase) to make a PC that would run
This is of benefit to people wanting to run it on VM though.
That was technically the requirement, however most shops would sell you the OS for purchasing any 1 piece of equipment which goes inside your case.
I upgraded the RAM in my laptop (2 sticks) and with it bought 2 OEM licenses of Win7; one for my laptop and one for the media PC.
I'm not sure that in Putinist Russia, such a thing would be permitted, though. Live from the Gulag . . . ?
In Putinist Russia... Free Speech Rights You!
even if there was only a zepto-mole of particles that Heisenberg would have said that two digits of precision is allowable.
It wouldn't really matter what Heisenberg said, as he was never really certain of anything.
I wonder how it does on popcorn?

Sorry to nitpick..."Bullseye" is a target, Bull's Eye is an eye belonging to a Bull.
What's your point?
If a bull were charging at me, and I had time to aim and discharge a firearm at it in hopes of stopping it, I'd shoot at it's eye too, regardless of the presence of concentric circles surrounding my target.
At least in that respect (were I a good enough shot to not miss, and simply have the bullet bounce off of it's skull), the bullet would pass through the eye and bounce around the brain cavity, hopefully stopping it.
