Can you tell me why you are not brave enough to post such nonsense under a real account?

"Coward" applies in your case. Along with a number of other adjectives I won't add for fear of young children seeing them...

Perhaps we should just be nice to people because it's the right thing to do, rather than for fear of the repercussions of doing otherwise????

Just sayin'...

It's Linux. If you need it, build it.

Republicans are the lesser of two evils only when it is republicans who define "evil".

While environmental catastrophe may have been widespread in geologic history, things are different now. When the sea level rose dramatically a million years ago, it didn't destroy trillions of dollars/euros/yuan worth of real estate.

I have to deal with too many end-users as it is. We don't need more...

Hmmm...5-digit Slashdot ID? Been here 10 years? Feh...newbie.

...and a K9 unit to go with it.

Don't be silly. Weapons manufacturers donate heavily to politicians. Those who receive grants for research do not. Why cut your own throat simply because it makes more sense in the long run?

What about ANGBAND??? Surely the hours I've poured into that have improved me in some way? Surely???

A work day? Lots of time.

A non-work day, or when I'm off the clock? Won't even answer the phone if it rings.

I've wondered if I have any neanderthal lineage. Not because of my behavior but because I have a heavy west Irish genetic background. It would have been a corner into which the neanderthals would have retreated as they were beaten out of the rest of Europe. Google and you'll see that red hair -- a hallmark of Irish lineage -- has been postulated to be a genetic legacy of the neanderthals.

Perhaps so, but the scripted mistake is easily fixed because every single machine exhibits the same symptoms. Easy to debug. Once debugged, easy to fix.

Do you think it better to have a half-dozen different mistakes on a half-dozen different servers in a pool of 40?
