I was impressed, but then I realised I had mis-read MPH as MPG...that *would* be impressive.

I had a quick try on ubuntu, but it failed a dependency on libupnp3...I found some discussion on it, but it involved compiling it from source....can't be arsed, sorry.

This is more of an attack against Apple giving away the iWork package for free. MS is barely a blip on the radar.

It's been considered a fairly useful capability since it was on Symbian...how long ago was it on that platform?? Too long ago to remember. This is nothing new apart from it's Google and Android, and perhaps the pervasiveness of the platform.

Ah, I see it was 2005 and Google discontinued it for Symbian :

I find this sentence in Wikipedia interesting/disappointing :

"The programs are compatible with Microsoft Office file format, but not the OpenDocument standard."

I'd suggest starting here as a beginning: 9 - Migrating to OpenBSD
One thing I find OpenBSD is head and shoulders above other *nix OSs at: the documentation. Virtually every service, binary, config, library, /etc/*, what-have-you has a thorough manpage included. The emphasis on security and "correctness" shows everywhere: pf is fantastic (iptables is a cancer by comparison), the built-in IPSec is great, it's OpenSSH's "home OS", etc.

Everything fits very well together (as is also the case with FreeBSD and NetBSD). All the OpenBSD users could post replies to your question but the only way to see for yourself is to try it out.

Enjoy!

Rather than slagging OpenBSD, set up a small VM and try it there for a while. It's a fantastic OS, I use it on my gateway/firewall/VPN, other edge-facing devices and a llaptop.

It's a bit minimal but what you get works.

Can you stick to just one narrative? You stated in this JE that they didn't get useful help (even though Washington would have been unlikely to provide any in time). Now you're back to your old fact-free narrative. Which one do you want to hang President Lawnchair over?

That said, do you have reason to believe that the current narrative is not factual? Can you show a reason to believe that they knew the original narrative to be false when they told it? I showed you the actual timeline before; they only went for the "video" narrative for about two weeks and then promptly changed over. Are you trying to claim that they had something to gain by doing this? After all, this administration profits rather tidily from the "global war on terror" as well; calling it a terrorist act from the beginning would have quite likely benefited them.

HR-36 is still in the house. It hasn't received a vote yet in the conservative-dominated chamber. President Lawnchair has not had an opportunity to do anything with it as a bill so far. Blaming this on him is like blaming him for gravity when a hammer falls on your toe.

Why do you love to bring up Benghazi but hate to actually discuss it in a factual manner?

Standard size of shipping containers are 20ft and 40ft, yes, imperial feet, not meters.

Is there a need to stick to metric system no matter what ?

How many cubits is that?

It was wrong then, it's wrong now. It's always been wrong. Care to try again?

Just because others aspire to evil doesn't make it legitimate that we do so as well. That's not an excuse, that's sophistry. We are supposed to be BETTER than the Russians and the Chinese. We aren't supposed to cry like children that they had their hands in the cookie jar too, so it's OK if we did. No, that doesn't make it alright. We set ourselves apart. What is the USA? It's this: we hamstring ourselves, we restrain ourselves, we limit ourselves, in the restrictions and surveillance of our citizens AND THIS MAKES US FREE. THIS MAKES US OUT-COMPETE THE TYRANTS. The hawks have forgotten this. The hawks have forgotten that it is the step back from tyranny which gives you the room to breath the air of freedom; and it is the air of freedom which births prosperity.

Chase security, chase anti-terrorism, chase information awareness, but all you'll get is the opposite of what you're pursuing.

I said *in front of* the 18 wheeler. You can't see around a big truck. This idiot also averaged 100 mph. that means that he had to move far faster than that for a large fraction of the time.

The highways are filled with trucks, even in the boondocks and at odd hours. That means he had to pass countless trucks while going at speeds like 130 mph, not 100.

For Christ sake, I can't believe the replies I'm getting from people who try to justify this idiotic behavior. The amount of ignorance and stupidity out there is just mind boggling.

The NSA collect meta data. You can't deny this. They collect it indiscriminately. They just suck it all up, for everyone, all the time. This is now confirmed, right from the horse's mouth, the head of the NSA. This is unreasonable, thus a violation of the 4th Amendment. If you think it is reasonable, then you and I can't have a meaningful conversation with each other. We'll just have to stop here. You fundamentally accept a bigger and more onerous government than I do.

Put up or shut up. Show me something he blew the whistle on that wasn't wrong. He took documents over the course of months, selecting only the damning and illegal activity, and then in an abundance of caution gave them to journalists, and only journalists, who have so far done an honorable and commendable job disclosing only material which details the crimes of the NSA without putting any individual person in danger.

You stated

The shortest distance between DC and Benghazi is over 5,000 miles. A US Air Force C130 at maximum speed would take over 15 hours to get there - ignoring the fact that 5000 miles is well beyond its range. Even if we departed from a base near Rome, Italy it would be more than 2 hours by air, that is is ignoring the amount of time to load the plane with the relevant materials for the fight. Furthermore if you want President Lawnchair to personally authorize action against it, that means that a phone call has to go to him, he has to respond, and subsequently make a phone call to someone who can take action.

Quite simply, the window of time for the attack was too short for President Lawnchair to have been able to authorize counter action and have it effectively change the outcome.

But of course that isn't what you want him evicted and executed for. You don't care about physical reality or any other such bullshit. You just want him gone because of that pesky consonant after his name; if it was from later in the alphabet you would be telling us to leave him alone and that he had done all he could do.

Zinged? I'm honestly not sure what you are referring to.

What exactly do you think I am objecting to? I'm still just trying to get really basic information from you. You want the president evicted and executed for "lying" but you are unwilling to give a reason to believe that he was knowingly lying. It doesn't matter that you have an army of Tea Partiers who all believe the exact same thing, criminal law is not a popularity contest.

Considering Benghazi happened last September, I have probably been asking you this for over a year now. Not yet have you bothered to support your claim.

It's OK to not like the president, you have that constitutional right. You can even hate him if you want - provided of course you don't act on your hatred. But when you call for someone's head on a platter, even if you don't actually intend to follow through, you should be able to at least give a valid argument to support your anger. You claim repeatedly - and never with facts to support it - that President Lawnchair committed some heinous act. Why can't you provide any evidence to support that allegation? Ordinarily when people are charged with a capital crime they get to see the case that the state has against them; that is how criminal law works in this country. However you are calling for the omission of the trial and sentencing phase so that you can skip straight to execution.
