I did that many moons ago, actually. I wrote a perl sys v style rc that would run your regular sys V scripts, but if they were written in perl it would suck the code in and run it in an eval(). Saved shedloads of forks and execs and launching of new processes from all the commands in bash scripts and made the whole thing really fast. Also allowed a flag for "don't bother to wait for me. Just move on" that would fork before the eval to parallelize where useful.

Fun little project.

The 1% fly private jets, not commercial. Doubt this would affect them at all. Your first class envy is misplaced.

No. No we won't.

This little sub-thread is so full of winning. This is the second time in the same story I've wished for mod points. I'll have to just give you a laurel, and hearty handshake instead.

OMG! Where are my mod points???? Shout this from the freaking rooftops! The tenth ammendment is the most definitive and important of them all, IMO, and the one that is the most frequently forgotten or ignored. I honestly wish it had come first in the Bill of Rights just to make it harder to ignore.

The Tenth Ammendment applies in just about every situation. It is the recognition that the citizen is the supreme soveriegn in this country and that the citizen allocates some of his powers and rights to the state, and then a further, smaller subset to the Federal government. Somewhere along the way we seem to have gotten this backward. We have been living as though the Federal government is the supreme sovereign which allocates some of its powers to the states and then a further, smaller subset to the people. THAT is the real tragedy of the US.

Please continue to spread this message. Make bumper stickers. Make T-shirts. I wish people would champion the Tenth Ammendment the way they do the First or the Second.

I'll get in on that action. Me too.

By only hiring the liars that are able to escape detection, aren't they effectively guaranteeing corruption throughout the agency? Isn't that effectively what this policy means?

I'd suspect this, it puts the kitchen sink on top of everything, it's a hell of a way to introduce copious amounts of subtle exploits.

You trade the safety for the fun. The gas mileage is a bonus.

Depends. If you put the 4L of gas into your moped or prius or something lame like that, you can go about 70 yards before you are caught and beaten to death because you're an idiot. If you put he 4L of gas into your 1973 Dodge Power Wagon you can go as far as you want after crushing the approaching horde with your front bumper and taking _THEIR_ gas.

These things always come down to good planning, good tactics and not being a tree hugging mope with the wrong vehicle. ;-)

Postscript: My answer is 100% correct in the case that the parent post intended that these were vandals _on_ motorcycles. If these were vandals _of_ motorcycles, then the problem is not possible to complete due to lack of information regarding the vandals' mode of transport. And why do these people want to vandalize motorcycles, anyway?

You're kidding right? At this point, CM is the Digg equivalent of mods. The users have been steadily moving on to third party to CM mods and this valuation is smoke and mirror crazy level nonsense.

Worse than that, and possibly more likely, they would shoot YOU and arrest IT!

Lol.

You pay for Software Assurance and yet their release cycles seem to push past the edge of the 3 year SA agreements in so many cases, requiring ongoing renewal of SA in order to not lose it.

They took notes from Cisco's playbook on how to long term fuck their clients.

From your "starting point" video summary:

You are kidding right? I watched parts of that nonsense and it's entirely propaganda for anti-common core, conspiratard conservative should-be-home-schooling douchebags that need their religious views justified by applying them to the public educational system, trying to infect every facet of historical context with religiosity regardless of factual truths. Common core is probably just too hard for willfully ignorant people to adapt too. I think a lot of it is stupid, but I'm not an educator and don't devote my time to research on the topic.

The example of 'Roman math' was a case of not-following-the-directions so an answer was marked wrong. Part of the purpose of the boxes is to teach the material in a functional manner that allows for better visualization of how to develop equations and functions, at the end of the day, these kids will grow up to become the next computer scientists, since everything is computer based now. They need this stuff, even if it's the 'long' way of problem solving and can be done quicker (that's another lesson that comes after you get the fundamentals down).

There was already a monopoly for textbooks. Sometimes it seems that Texas is just mad that they are no longer a predominate driving force behind textbooks (and good riddance, with their succumbing to religious indoctrination as a part of curriculum in their educational mandates).

You are the one spreading propaganda.
