It's sad how far Slashdot has fallen.

Yeah, those are legitimate concerns with a web app. But pretending that developing a standalone app doesn't have its own set of equally painful problems is ridiculous.

With a standalone app, you've got to worry about things like .Net versions, DLL hell, installation packages, keeping users up to date, windows versions, etc... Yes, modern languages will typically take care of most of this for you, but to pretend like they don't exist is just being naive.

I don't trust Google to keep it around once it's no longer in Google's best interests to do so and since social networking isn't Google's focus or primary source of revenue, I can't trust that.

It's not that I begrudge them the decision to do what's in their own best interests but I have that same decision to make and Google+ doesn't align with them.

No condescending comments from Barack Obama about how the 80s called and wants their foreign policy back?

Lance Henriksen has also been killed by a Terminator, an Alien and a Predator.

There are pro life libertarians.

Those ones are socially moderate.

This bit of information came to the public's attention because of a Democrat. Dick Morris spilled the beans when the Clinton's let him get pilloried in the court of public opinion.

Of course you don't care. No one who cares about decency or the rule of law would consider voting for Hillary. It's nothing like picking apart someone's grammar. Hillary Clinton was involved with denying due process and justice to women who were sexually assaulted by her husband.

One?
Minor?
Out of proportion?

Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick. Bill Clinton sexually assaulted Kathleen Willey. Bill Clinton sexually harassed Paula Jones.

When deposed in Paula Jones's civil case, he committed perjury. He instructed people that if they lied, the investigators would have nothing. He suborned perjury. He committed Obstruction of Justice. These are all felonies that would get you or me incarcerated.

You call it decency for Bill Clinton to grope Kathleen Willey's breast and forcibly put her hand on his penis while her husband's dead body was being recovered?

Joe Biden is a crazy asshole but he's nowhere near Bill Clinton in terms of sleaze.

LK

You must be a socially liberal libertarian. Right?

LK

To use her political connections to deny someone due process or justice is most certainly corruption.

LK

If you didn't know about it before, it was informative to you.

Again, Hillary Clinton orchestrated the character assassination of the women who were sexually assaulted by her husband.

It's not my opinion, it happened.

LK

No. That's pretty much the exact opposite of what happened.

Monica denied that anything happened until she was threatened with perjury charges because of Linda Tripp's recordings.

Please, familiarize yourself with the events before you opine.

LK

Yes, according to Dick Morris.

When the Clinton's left him out to dry, he stopped keeping their secrets.

LK

Who said anything about the intern? That was a series of consensual encounters.

I'm talking about the women that he sexually assaulted.

LK

I don't care about Bill Clinton's consensual sex life.

I'm not talking about Monica.

I'm talking about Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick, not to mention the other women who recanted their allegations after Hillary's forces put pressure on them.

She victimized women who were assaulted by her husband.

That's far worse than Bill's hanky-panky with an intern.

LK

By all means, you may vote for whomever you choose but please don't lie about it.

Hillary Clinton is one of the most corrupt politicians who has ever been on the national scene. Her job during her husband's administration was to orchestrate the harassment and character assassination of the women who were sexually assaulted by her husband.
