And then someone else sees someone shooting someone and that someone shoots the someone shooting someone else who sees someone shooting someone....

Escalating gunfights are not pretty.

Leaving out the fact that a fair amount of people in a stressed situation have serious problems actually aiming, so any surrounding 'innocents' become accidental targets.

It's not as simple as the NRA makes it sound. Ask any policeman who's been in a similar situation.

Can't resist..

He was kissing his ass goodbye.

You do realize we're talking about a book here, right? (Or at least, that's what it's generally used for), and actually reading a dead-tree book isn't an issue?

Yes...

For a while now I get a lot of congratulations accompanied by 15 modpoints I have no idea what to do with.

Not sure when that started, but I seem to have 15 modpoints about 50% of the time I'm even on Slashdot :)

Normally I'd much prefer the people actually maintaining and supporting the software to install it in QA and promote it to Production.

This gives them some more knowledge about what they're supporting, and also avoids the 'Just gotta change this' mentality so prevalent in developers :)

I think you meant:

(Iff (pathent-on-ssoftware p) 'reject 'affept)

(Yes yes, I didn't know exactly how I'd do that with a lisp..)
