And of course that would have to be " ... they mean A".

Fuck it. I'm out of this discussion, the stupidity is catching.

Literally every time anyone says "I don't A, but B", they mean B but are just too cowardly to come right out and say it.

So why don't you go and take your concern elsewhere and fuck off, you misogyny apologist.

Naah. The poster is samzenpus, that ought to give you a hint: this is part of the ongoing neo-con rewrite of history to make them out to be the good guys, and to always have been the good guys.

And given that you just blindly repeated the misogynistic lies about Zoe Quinn, I think you just proved GP's point.

To stay with the observable facts: there is absolutely no proof that Zoe slept around to get good reviews. There has been no positive article on her work that can be directly attributed to her relationship.

And that Gamergate was born on this lie and acting as if they care about journalistic integrity, while staying mostly silent on 'Shadows of Mordor' tells a spectator exactly what the priorities of Gamergate are: shutting up the uppity women.

No. Once they invaded Poland, they were doomed from the start.

With the state of their Navy, Air Force and operational doctrine, they had nothing to force Britain to capitulate. Churchill put his finger on it when he said "Hitler knows he has to break us in this island or lose the war". Germany had no means to succesfully invade and conquer Britain. At best approximation they had the forces to force a small beachhead, and be thrown back.

Then there is the fact that the Molotov-von Ribbentrop pact was a marriage of convenience. While Stalin may have been complacent enough to disregard a German breaking of the pact, there is no way there would not eventually have been a war between two ideologies who were fundamentally opposed to each other. With Nazi Germany bleeding out in a campaign against Britain and the US (and a sustained push against Britain would have brought in the US), the temptation to open a second front and grab most of Eastern Europe would have been too great

Any way you look at it, unless you have Wehrmacht fanboi goggles, the strategic situation had always to have been in Germany's disfavour.

Fuck off and die please. The world could do with less PVV voting scum.

No, they forgot Algol, which begot both Ada and Pascal.

On the server side when admining hundreds or thousands of machines, troubleshooting a bloated needlessly complex system wastes precious time.

Yup. That's why the major distros are all switching away from SysV init to systemd. Because the alternative is to continue with a Rube Goldbergish mess of shell scripts with no proper event-based activation nor decent process monitoring.

I am most definitely not the only one fed up with chasing Heisenbugs in a maze of twisty little shell scripts, all alike.

open("sense_of_humour",0) = ENOENT

Nope, in the gamer community this person would be hailed as a hero for outing people who act unethically by disregarding Facebook's rules.

Yeah, but you're the typical narcissistic basement-dwelling 'libertarian' who would say that, just to excuse his own lack of social graces.

conventional political correctness.

Otherwise known as being considerate and polite. Old-fashioned, I know.

"Caves to FCC Pressure"? Really?

Oh that poor Verizon, can't just exploit its customers like so many sheep to the slaughter, what is this world coming to.

Samzenpus is really trying to turn this place into FoxSlash, isn't he? This some of the most sycophantic corporate-asslicking prose I've seen here so far.

Yup. That's called 'Verelendung'. Marx wasn't right on all counts, but he damn well got that one correct.
