Except we go after their financial networks, launch targeted attacks against them and so on. So yes, we do indeed go after them. It's much harder when their networks are using liquid assets traded through the black market now isn't it.

But that's what we do, legislate morality.

Stealing is morality. Killing is morality. We legislate all of those things.

That's what makes this something of an intellectual puzzle to me. I agree with the idea that illustrations, no matter how realistic, don't harm anyone directly. But sex and children are an indefensible combination in any way, shape or form. I don't know that I can say even pictures of children in a sexual context made and seen only by their creator are ever ok. Trafficking in them just guarantees its immoral.

Yeah. 18 years. That's the same bullshit climate change deniers have been using for a long time. Why the past 18 years? Because once you start going back farther in time, the evidence is undeniable and clear.

But if you limit what you look at and ignore the numbers that give clear evidence, yeah, you can force data to say whatever lies you want it to say.

I'm going to bet that even some of the most jihad-obsessed radicals, fresh from what passes for school Taliban-land, are better at math than you are.

If there are 6 billion Muslims, and they make up 23% of the world population, that means the world as a population of over 26 billion people.

Do you know some secret place on the planet where we're hiding almost 20 billion extra, previously unknown people?

Can you name the "other extremists" that have been busy either successfully or unsuccessfully launching terrorist attacks in the last 10 years? Here in Canada this will be the 5th one by muslims. Though we've had two attacks in two days, one in Quebec and likely the one in Ottawa as well.

We jump back a bit, we've got the muslim nut who wanted to derail a via train, and was planning to do a chemical attack. A couple of others, the 18 muslims who wanted to attack parliament hill as well. Previous to that, we've had environmentalists who tried to blow up sour gas lines, sikhs blowing up an airliner and home-grown separatists who did some shit in quebec.

Gee, it might have something to do with all those islamists engaging in genocide, rape, slavery, and mass murder. Maybe...but who knows, after all, when you can go to Iraq and buy a women from them for $10...I mean there might be no problems right?

The CDC cannot be everywhere.

I don't want them everywhere -- I do want them in the very few places that have Ebola patients, though.

Yeah, but it's a reasonable one-size-fits-all solution to do screen splitting versus trying to unfuck a lot of applications which will never be unfucked.

Windowing is great, but somewhere down the road window management got lost. Manually sizing and positioning windows is tedious and the Windows UI provides very little in terms of tools for managing windows. Snapping is of limited value and not configurable AFAIK.

Making regions of a single display act like separate monitors may be a kludge, but it's a kludge that goes a long way towards making window positioning and sizing more manageable.

I think blaming for-profit healthcare is certainly possible, but in this case I think it's too overbroad of a critique.

It's reasonable to believe that the profit motive may actually have been a positive motivation -- the hospital makes money from ordinary health care issues, not life-threatening hemorrhagic fevers imported from Africa. Even a mini "outbreak" like this will have everyone who can avoid this hospital going someplace else, and the people with any choice in the matter have good insurance that pays well or are paying for elective procedures themselves. The customers they have left will be people without choice who pay less or not at all.

I'd like to see native virtual monitor display splitting. Large, high-resolution displays often beg to be subdivided into smaller displays but treated as if there were separate monitors. I feel like a lot of screen space is wasted with wide displays, especially with applications and web sites that don't take advantage of it well.

I've tried several utilities that do this, but none were all that usable or useful. Display Fusion will do it well, but only even divisions. Uneven splits are coming but it's been several months since they said they would add it. And I'm not sure it will allow for things like 3 way splits (ie, one portrait with two landscape next to it).

I'd also like to see the opposite, display combining, treating a subset of monitors as a single monitor. Even though the bezel is an irritant, there are times where it would be nice to treat more than one monitor as a single display but not be forced to accept it across all displays.

Being able to scale virtual displays would be nice, too, the way you can with RDP. It'd be nice to take a keep-track logging or status window that really needs a big window to be used but could be scaled into a smaller window to be just kept an eye on, even if it wasn't totally usable.

It should be said that most of the mistakes here were by the hospital in Texas, not the CDC.

That's just endless buck-passing. The reality is that the kind of fuck ups that could happen, did happen, like a storyline from some cheap zombie/biothriller novel.

The CDC protocols were flawed and the CDC wasn't there to advise and observe and if they did they screwed that up. Worse, I think the CDC invited complacency with its don't-panic focus. The whole mess in Texas might have been avoided if they had taken a slightly more danger-focused mindset,

I see a lot of 50+ year old wooden runabouts getting used on the big lake near here. I think they require maintenance but have generally figured out how to build them.
