BTW, did they ever kill WIPO and the DMCA? Senator Dick Lugar won't answer my letters.

That's what Millennials are for.

YES! What's with invisible borders? And those f$cking 1px borders in xfce while we're at it.

I only use GNOME because KDE uses the nonfree Qt widget set.

Is it managed by a grumpy Portuguese guy, though?

The detailed specification is an often overlooked cost driver in this scenario. Customers really hate having to write detailed specifications and then being held to them.

This is the second time I have found someone "in the wild" who thinks Aspects are a good idea. It inspired me to log in after all these years. It seems to me that Aspects are a maintenance and debugging nightmare. Not that there aren't plenty of those already. The main use seems to be letting a developer use printouts to poorly mimic a proper debugger. What is nice about them? I'm willing to be convinced.

I will never forget him, in his iconic white and gold uniform.

Seriously, though, terrible day. I feel like I knew him.

"Protein bars."

Truly an American icon.

I suppose "Quarternary Park" just doesn't have that certain "ring" to it.

I mean, that's no PDF, it's a VB worm. It's currently eating the Exchange servers of our Fortune 500 company alive. I think I got a couple thousand copies before someone pulled the ethernet cable.

The email has the following text:

If he is acquitted, he is not suspected any more. He is vindicated

The details may differ in Sweden, but typically in the West, "not proven guilty" is not the same as "proven innocent". Justice systems that do this are based on the idea that it is better to err and let some guilty people go free in order to decrease the number of innocent people who are wrongly convicted.

He may well be proven innocent, as you rightly point out, but there is a middle ground where suspicion might well remain.

Killing fewer people than someone else doesn't always make you good.

Correct, but trying (and succeeding) to kill fewer innocent people does make you better than someone who's trying (and succeeding) to kill more innocent people.

I haven't shuffled through all of them, or seen a believable analysis of the whole enchilada. But according to one Guardian article, your simple assertion is probably bullshit.

I heard it on that jingoistic, neocon broadcast network NPR. Specifically, On Point with Tom Ashbrook, Monday July 26, with guests Mark Mazzetti (NYT), Nick Davies (Guardian), Richard Haass (some NGO). Mr. Davies and Mr. Mazzetti were among the reporters who reviewed the wikileaks documents before they were published so they have a multi-week head start on the rest of us. link to this episode

Note that the story you link to does not disprove my assertion. Incompetence and bumbling, and even deceit, while indefensible, are not even close to as bad as intentionally killing civilians (at a rate in excess of ten to one) in terror attacks. The Taliban and their supporters are clearly the bad guys in this conflict.
