What is wrong with pipes working to give you power? What is wrong with massive third party app support for command line. I don't get you. I have Windows servers where they work well, Linux servers where they are best and a couple of SCO Unix servers that I can not get rid of. I use Windows servers and am able to get work done on them. Powershell though is unused. Tried it, played with it, worked with it. Hate it.

IPC sucks in Powershell and you are thinking like a programmer. When you do work on servers you do not need or want a "Proper programming language" you want something that ties your entire system together and allows you to quickly make use of it all. Not just IPC. Linux command line runs cirlces around powershell in IPC (Which to those of us who do work on servers know is very important) the difficulty in starting up stuff in the background and tailing stuff you start up. grep, awk and sed. Then lets ad in the fact that most 3rd party tool in Linux expect to be able to be called in the command line. I have to tell you the ability to pop up a command line and tell GIMP to grab every .png in a specific directory rotate it 90 degrees and resize it to 900x900 then rename the file by appending it with "_900x900" and sticking them all into a new directory, then edit the permissions of the directory itself to allow others to see it, hit enter and move on to something else is pretty fucking useful. And it is soo much more powerful than that. It is not just for administration. Although the linux (everything is a file) system makes this much easier.

A large part of that cost is caused by states artificially limiting competition to a few providers in their State. they only let their buddies in and then we get all surprised when with a lack of competition we get bad service at inflated prices.

Powershell is a joke. When compared to a real command line. Cygwin is better than powershell. My main pet peeve?

Powershell handles pipes stupidly. Really? No inter process communication using pipes?

I run Windows, Linux and even a couple of Unix servers. I do not use powershell, I sure as hell have no use for Cmdlets. If I need to on Windows I will still use batch or WSH. Powershell wants to be a programming language and that want wrecks it as a decent command line. If you think that Powershell is a good replacement for a powerful and flexible Linux command line then it is obvious that you have no idea what can be done with a Linux command line.

Windows starts to become more useful once you get Cygwin installed on it. Not quite as Good as Linux but it is a start.

I am just curious. Why is it that the country that had the best economic climate and great standard of living was the one that did not strap all of its citizens with this shit?

I like how you bravely link to the the information that proves that you are full of shit.

That right there takes balls.

Article clearly states that the 1.7 trillion dollar number (Which is not "Trillions") is the GLOBAL military spending.

It is not nearly as fucked up as watching a deaf couple cry when they realize their child can hear.

The Horror!

When you give someone the power to kill you there comes with it some accountability. These people are entrusted with the ability to rob you of your constitutional rights. A large portion of them currently are more worried about protecting their buddies than protecting the public. So, in short. Fuck their non existent right to privacy while being paid by the public.

Yes. It will continue till those who hate beta pick up and leave. I wonder if the final numbers will hurt Dice?

If you are deeply familiar with the case I would like to know how exactly it is that you can make this statement

If you had any familiarity with the case then you know that it is only about what the employer wants to pay for. It has nothing to do with what the employee can choose to do. Coming from someone "Deeply familiar" with the case this makes your statement at the very lease "Deeply misleading". You can jump out of perfectly good planes if you want to. I have the right to not pay for it.

Correct. There are not nearly enough taxes.

The list of things I do not like and the list of things that should have taxes put upon them correlates fairly well.

Pay for people to do what you want. (Quit working and have\abort babies.)

Tax what you want people to do less. (Make money, Drive, Smoke, Drink)

Put people in prison for what you do not want them doing. (Murder (of people living over 3 minutes), paying for sex, trading stocks when you know for a fact the will go up or down, ratting out the government)

If I do not like what you believe then I am fully within my rights to not associate with you. Customers are within their rights to not shop there. The workers are within their rights to not work there.

Where a problem comes up is when government comes in and forces you to act against your beliefs. A recent study has stated that Vegetarians are not as healthy as people who eat both meat and veg. If the government decided that being a vegetarian was a stupid belief would it be ok for them to require that all people eat red meat at least twice a week?

No? Why not?

These are the places we really do not want government. Just because you are not on the side the government is currently attacking does not mean you should be ok with them having this power over people.

They do not provide insurance that gives out the drugs that the company does not wish to pay for. The employees already had insurance that the company paid for that the workers liked. The government stepped in and stated that the company had to provide insurance that did provide those drugs. This is what the case is about. The workers had insurance that paid for over 40 different types of contraception.

Facts about the things you are arguing about might help a little.

So you believe you are wrong?
