In a crisis, your grip changes, and this can also happen during injury, which is when a gun may be used to stave off a threat. People who clamor for this sort of thing tend NOT to actually know about or use guns themselves, and that's the problem. Training is more important than any added part of a gun that can fail, causing the death of the operator from inability to defend oneself.

Intoxication and lack of training are more dangerous than guns that can fire without the magazine, and frankly, I and other gun enthusiasts AVOID guns with lots of extra nonsense as stuff that can fail and make it difficult to do things with our own property, such as decide to sell or trade the gun toward something we would like better. Guns are collectable items that often increase in value. Let's stop this nonsense already. It is unwanted by those who actually use them.

The mere fact of having a fiat currency means you are taxed, or penalized in two different and equally damaging ways. They need to stop this imbalance, because as our debt grows faster than we can pay it off, our credit worthiness, as judged by other nations decreases. Wealth cannot come from the will of the government. They don't understand it, and they try to have at least a fractional estimate of their spending come in via the tax coffers each year.

Inflation is not being kept down. It is running away, and being hidden. The mere printing of more and more money demands that this happens, and in order to deal with our overspending, they print more money.

The issue was never meant to be their equivalence, but rather the waste associated with it. By the way, Do you know how much that 1.5% actually is?

The value of taxes diminishes with the waste and poor performance of government. Most of that money is going to be used for aid to countries with whom we have no business propping up when our own is failing, or in the ever increasing military spending which does not make our troops safer, but instead wastes billions of dollars building the latest blowy uppy thing.

Your lack of ability shines here. This technique carries it all. If the application brings all it needs, then it doesn't matter if the user of the application has their directory first in the search path. If you want to make sure you use your own version of shared or linked objects, that's how you segregate them. It won't break anything, as the path is user specific.

Now again... where's my check.

Easy enough. Don't use that hot mess.

It's a difference of nomenclature, and I don't really need a lesson on managing systems, as that's been my field for quite some time. System level accounts are just that, built in. You can, however, have application accounts, and they are still users.

Running production software out of /home/bob is bad. Running it out of /opt/software/versionX/bin/foo with a link back to /opt/software/bin is good. You can make /opt/software a home directory.

Plus one for root creating the files/configs so the user has the ability to execute, but not modify beyond perhaps some sudo rights. Unfortunately, politics often screws that up, and an exception is filed, accepted, and never read.

Users are not people. Users are users. Not to mention, it is easy to change ownership of directories and give them to a new user. That's the beauty of UNIX.

Now, that being said, when is user apache22 going to leave the company?

On an enterprise software level... bring what you need in a local, self contained directory structure. There is absolutely no reason your reliance on foobar v1.20a-final means that Software X cannot have 1.21c-upgraded.

Link to your own directory first in your search path.

Where's my check?

You magically assumed that "your guy" meant he had a "his guy" or rather who "his guy" was. Logic, bitches.

False dichotomy is false. Stop playing this like it is my team vs their team. There is one team there. You don't get a say, you don't get to play.

They would be copyrighted, not copywritten. The issue is RIGHTS not writing.

Because people have played mario cart, and I don't want to be hit by a red shell because I got to the charging mat first.

EA does a lot of shitty things, but this isn't one of them. EA may lose .02% of their revenue, because I doubt these fundies really buy their games.

Yet "Please give us the codes" appears on how many pages for assistance?
