No.

Oh, the sentence went on?

So you don't need a nanny compiler. Fine by me, C and assembler were among the first programming languages I learnt.

But when you follow that up by "and here's our nanny memory leak checker instead..." and you don't notice the irony, I'm not sure if I want to trust you with my pointers if one redirect throws you off...

You finally got it.

Yes, I'm shouting "beware, they are thieves" before they actually took something - because they are, in fact, well-known thieves. This is the thing that's called "reputation" (just adding that since you actually seem to be new to the planet).

If they've done it a hundred times before, it is very likely that they'll do it again. It really is that simple.

You new here? I mean the planet?

Of course you don't. They never show their intention to extinguish until the first two are complete.

Oh no, you want to say that Microsoft is following its usual strategy, as they've done for 30+ years?

What a complete surprise! Shocker! Stop the presses...

If you so much as touch anything made by MS without having a plan B ready and waiting in the top drawer, you can't be helped.

The English name of the country remains Turkey not something we can't even write on Slashdot. Just like we say Germany not Deutchland. And their Führer can go <censored>.

4., of course. Those who refuse to sing and dance get deported.

Where did I claim that only capitalism and socialism exists? And while you're right that other massive ecological disasters exist, ruining the whole of Central Asia with a single megaproject is, by far, the biggest damage done by a single instance of human ignorance. Not even greed, just pure stupidity: after soviets ended Lysenkoism (which cost them decades of research and lives of thousands of scientists), they moved to their next political idea. And this kind of agricultural project was one of favourite pasttimes of communism, see eg. Four Pests Campaign that lasted just 4 years but was so disastrous that the instant famine offed tens of millions.

But, if you love socialism so much, please explain to me: could you give me even ONE upside of it? All I see is north of 200M dead (~11% national, the rest reds). If an idea has been tried in 100+ countries, and every time has resulted in concentration camps (well, Grenada had "only" disorganized killing, but it's a microstate where communists got spanked after 4 years) -- perhaps the idea is not that good after all?

Even religions which claim Jesus as a prophet haven't managed so high a number, but as they got quite close (~100M christianity + ~75M islam), it's not for a lack of trying.

Bones and teeth. No remains with fur, muscles, etc. as far as I'm aware.

I'm talking about the price paid, not the profit or losses incurred.

And, of course, a bit tongue-in-cheek.

Basically: Since campaigning in the US costs countless billions, we shouldn't be surprised that politicians are all bought. It's the only way to get anywhere.

If that.

Given that we don't exactly have HD videos from 12,000 BC what they're doing is at best making guesses at what might be a few phenotypic features.

Well, the taxpayers pay $400,000 per year for Donald, for a total of 1.6 million.

His friends paid several times that in campaign contributions. So basically, everyone gets what they paid for.

Not block, that just makes the bot herders come from a new set of IPs and with a slightly different method to ward off detection. And instead of a single article, give them endless content they so crave. Be it AI-generated to match current fads, or dissociated press generated as we used to do in the previous millenium.

If only we had protocols for bulk downloads that scale according to the content's popularity...

Sorry but it's socialism that has done the worst ecological disasters. The Aral Sea is now the Aral Desert, the rivers that provided Central Asia fertile steppes are now small polluted streams, and the land is too salty for any productive use.
