I definitely concur with you. Ignore them and they become increasingly annoying until you can't ignore them any more; pester and ridicule them, and they throw a hissy fit and shut up.
So you're implying that it's ok to fly over to their countries and blow them up like this?
I know you're not, but that's what it sounds like.
How sure are you that those people down there in fact are your enemies?
Or have they gone down the road of believing that everyone is their enemy?
That's pretty scary; most of the people there just want to be left alone and to live their lives in peace, you know, like you and I?
So you think it's ok?
Actually, adrenalin makes the meat stringy and tough.
You want the animal totally relaxed when it's slaughtered, precisely to prevent that.
I kind of think that way also: anything which deserves to be listened to, or read and taken seriously, should have it's authors name signed.
I know this is not a very popular opinion, but hiding yourself behind an anonymous curtain lessens the value of whatever you're expressing, since it's assumed that you don't want to sign your name on it.
Really, I've never seen any car, in México or in the US, with a "chime" that went off over a certain speed.
This has to be some kind of requirement specific to the UAE.
make it stop!

I've never understood the sad devotion to vi and vim and other obfuscated tools that UNIX elitists have. Sure I can use vi, but why in god's name would anyone want to unless they're forced to work over ssh for all of their development?
If you're comfortable with it, that's one thing. Recommending somebody else cripple themselves with obsolete technology that completely ignores how people actually work because it should be enough for anybody reeks of that famous Bill Gates quote.
Your ignorance about the reasons why others might want to choose a tool, it's uses and customizations, together with your patronizing attitude towards other peoples choices, does not make a compelling argument.
If vim is not the right tool for you, it's not the right tool for you, and that's the end of it. Currently, it's the right tool for many thousands of developers using ssh, windows, X11, text consoles, MSDOS (still!), and many other mediums not mentioned.
And I'm not a vim zealot, I know emacs is the right tool for thousands others; and it's an awesome tool, just not the right one for me (and many others).
Why recommend xfs, when jfs is smaller and faster?
Perhaps this will give rise to new justifications for diversifying corporate activities between things people like and things people don't like — just to keep all your investors on board."There are dozens of factors that could be considered, almost all of which are outside the foundation's areas of expertise. The issues involved are quite complex...Which social and political issues should be on the list?... Many of the companies mentioned in the Los Angeles Times articles, such as Ford, Kraft, Fannie Mae, Nestle, and General Electric, do a lot of work that some people like, as well as work that some people do not like. Some activities might even be viewed positively by some people and negatively by others.
A company is known by the men it keeps.
