Either violence is an acceptable response

With that you've moved the goal posts a very long way from what I've written and painted me as writing something I did not come close to writing.
I hope you are proud of yourself because nobody else will be.

That is the killer feature, IMHO. I was scrolling through expecting to just ignore this like I did the downloader, but that actually provides something of value above what you can do with the website.

While I agree with you in principle, I don't know ANY programmer that is 1,000x faster than another

IMHO a lot of it is "here's one I prepared earlier". That can be vastly faster in bursts - sustainable though?

Don't worry, our "good friends" the Saudis have manipulated to oil price to drive the frackers out of business so it won't be a problem for long.
Oh wait, only the ones that cut corners will be able to afford to survive so it will be a problem.
Go tell your congressman to get off the Saudi teat and work for his own country and maybe we won't see so much of these problems.

"They" not "The"

The make perfect sense - it's the seagull ownership thing of shitting all over everything then leaving.
He's "asserted his vision" by breaking a lot of things so that if anyone later tries to do another Trek movie without pretending his never happened they'll have to stick with his major changes to the setting. The Khan one is especially bad since the plot can't be followed if you haven't seen the previous Khan - yet it destroys much of the continuity that it depends on to work at all.

Anyway, there's been some good stories about the implications of teleporters leaving extra bodies around - "The Resurrected Man" by Sean Williams is one.

Yes my point is you did go way beyond ridiculous. Obvious deliberate incitement with clear results is very different to your silly writing it off as "blaming the victim". It's like stepping onto a highway and relying on someone to rescue you from a deliberately dangerous position.
Do you even know who you are standing up for? Do you know what he thinks of your racial purity and choice of religeon? He may not be a murderer but he's convinced people to try to become murderers.

How about "does it matter - it was taken personally as if it was"? Not sure why I'm replying to an AC that hasn't managed to follow things that much despite the article being clear.

Sexual comments unrelated to and not directed at her will be the least of the terrible things the real world has in store

School is not supposed to be "John Browns Schooldays" anymore. We're not supposed to break the kids before they go out into society.

You want people who believe in free speech to run and hide in the desert, what do you know of bravery?

"Brave" Dutchman putting Texan cops in danger? No he's taking advantage of the bravery of others. He's gone and stirred up a couple of American kids that may not have considered murder otherwise, and they've gone and done something stupid enough to get killed as a consequence. I suggest you think about that before trying to wrap things up in a flag.

It's standing up for what you believe in, and you don't think people should do that.

Yet you are telling me to go away instead of expressing things myself - make up your mind.

Win 10 adoption is GOING to happen fast

Really? I've still got people that won't let go of XP, and even the keenest MS users in the place are planning to wait a bit to see if it's going to be another Vista or Win8. That's only one place but it may represent a trend.

Yes, but soon a new MS patch with alter the docx format slightly so they will all break again in anything other than the most recent version of MS Office.

Let's hope it's quicker to re-install. I never had to re-install MS Office before the 2013 version came out but since then I've lost track of how many machines it's been fucked up that badly on.
Maybe they should roll the codebase back to the 2010 version and go on from there.

Without hardware knowledge people do stupid shit like sort on disk instead of in memory.
A lot more of that happens in scientific and engineering computing than it should, sometimes wasting many hours of time per project.

Stop giving cutting-edge technology to your people in IT because most of the rest of the company (or the world, if you work with the Web) never has cutting-edge hardware either.

Spot on. Unmentored young developers with uber-machines who ran nothing but MS stuff with full admin rights were a blight on software for years because they expected everyone else to have the same. The only thing that's saved us recently is that poorly skilled programmers can only do single threaded stuff so multiple cores cuts down on the pain.

Depends - I was one of those and since the number of employees in my section was not large and the tasks were not frequently changing the skill level required was not high. 25 year old "supervisors" are fine if they have someone to fall back on when they are not, and if they know to do so when they are out of their depth.
