Again? They didn't sink it the first time.

(Sorry, spoiler alert, etc)

It has both. It also has large shops. Oxford Street has shops in a range of sizes.

Not particularly. 1.5 million Europeans were also enslaved by Barbary pirates. Much like the rest of human history, slavery has been pretty much prevalent.

Are the dead Americans and dead Germans on the cost or benefit side of that equation?

So the place with well trained soldiers doesn't even allow them to be constantly armed and you want the general populace to carry guns everywhere?

Save everybody some time, just shoot yourself.

If you've been working for 40 years then it's generally a safe assumption that any random other person is probably younger than you, especially online.

Rather than referencing your lawn though you should be highlighting that "We solved that one 30 years ago, why are you reinventing the wheel?"

McAfee Virus is a far more appropriate name for it.
Does more damage than any computer virus I've ever actually been infected by.

What the fuck does that have to do with censoring private discussions on the subject that happen to go through the Steam chat client?

I can't say to a friend, "Glad Kickass Torrents got its ass kicked" now without using a different service. Maybe you think that's appropriate but I disagree.

1 - The equivalent Android crap is equivalent to the MS apps, or it wouldn't be equivalent. I'm not commenting on whether the MS apps are crap, but you have just merely suggested that they are better than the crap they're the same as. Luckily the Android ecosystem includes non-crap alternatives too.

2 - Windows Phone has made a mark, and the discerning buyer may choose it over many android devices, but wont choose it over other android devices. Especially if they did choose it the first time

3 - Many manufacturers will support a number of mobile OS, but given that the market leading mobile vendors do not currently offer Windows Phone based devices I can only conclude that you're talking utter bollocks

4 - I haven't used them, so I can only interpret this statement in light of the other things you've said. As your credibility is decidedly lacking, I choose to assume that you're wrong here too

I don't have to hate MS to choose not to use Windows Phone. I don't have to hate MS to dislike bundled software on my computers - handheld or otherwise. I may well choose to use some MS software on my Android phone but it'll be my choice, not the fucking manufacturer's.

Out of curiosity, how much were you paid for your post?

..says the fuckwit that hasn't even noticed we've been discussing a mythical product for the last seven replies.

Force someone into a social situation that they don't understand and can't enjoy, cause them stress and trigger negative behaviours? Interesting that you call that 'treatment'.

There are other approaches.

Rainbow tutus are never unfashionable.

No, he just demonstrated yet another fucking indicator of ASD.

Don't pretend he's neurotypical, and don't think that being hyper intelligent will make life easy for him.

The various therapies offered to you may not be needed, but make sure he's aware of them and has the choice by the time he's in his late teens. Social skills are not fucking easy for someone with ASD and are fucking crucial for most of adult life.

I find this ironic. Many of the people at my local Aspergers support group do in fact act like arseholes much of the time.

It's not necessarily intended, but it's the perceived behaviour.

Worrying if most programmers haven't heard of Dijkstra, but they've also learned how to program - and that's very very difficult without learning from someone that (directly or otherwise) has been influenced by that single Dijkstra paper.

"How do I do X" - well, here's the best practice from the last four decades, none of which involves the use of 'goto' because four decades ago everybody had read the paper and realised the point it was making.
