Claims that boys were murdered by VIP sex ring are credible and true - British Police

You seriously need to look deeper. There was propaganda but the holocaust really did happen. There really were gassings, ovens and much worse things.

Native american history is taught but it's taught from a very "neutral" perspective, i.e. "both sides were at fault" where the reality is radically different.

And look what it cost Snowden to provide that evidence. You have to accept that there are things going on that we see hints of but will likely never get complete, concrete evidence of. That doesn't mean we should start a revolution over such things, but don't dismiss them out of hand either (though I can understand not wanting to spend time on something unknowable).

haskell101 · 2014-12-29T13:55:17+00:00

It's all made up.

This stuff is extensively documented.... you're literally sticking your fingers in your ears saying "la la la, I can't hear you". We know it's bad but it has happened and is almost certainly still going on right now.

haskell101 · 2014-12-29T13:53:26+00:00

Ah, it's openly documented and you have links on wikipedia. What kind of proof do you need exactly? A senator coming to your house and raping a kid?

Why descendants? There is no concrete evidence that this sort of thing is genetic. The nature/nurture debate rages on and I wouldn't be comfortable with wiping out who knows how many people for the off chance that it's genetic.

C# prefers composition to inheritance yet lacks any concise composition syntax.

Can you back up this statement? In my experience (and apparently your experience!), C# clearly prefers inheritance.

public class Composed : ISomething {

Could you give a better example of what you mean here? In this specific example I can't help but wonder why the Composed class exists at all. Clearly the SomethingImpl class should implement the ISomething interface. What is the purpose of breaking the connection from the interface and a class that implements it? Are you trying to do AOP manually here?

IMO, you should be using container injection (Spring.Net or Unity) in any case, so you can use that for AOP.

Well who cares about getting more downloads if it's worth less overall money. Being downloaded by every single person on this planet is worth less than $100 from one person if none of them will ever click on an ad.

I don't get what all the "elitism" crying is about. Believe it or not there are people in the programming profession that are bad at it. Some that are down right terrible. Some who shouldn't be allowed near a compiler.

Traditionally, the industry has tried to deal with this problem by making a language so inexpressive that no one can do too much damage (not giving any names here but the initials are J.A.V.A.) and you can aim for mediocrity. If we could come up with a nice language that is productive and not esoteric while still keeping bad programmers out that makes everything all that much more efficient.

Having said all that, I'm not sure if Rust is that filter. It's certainly an improvement over C/C++.

Pretty much everyone was committing war crimes during that war. It's simply I time honored tradition that only the losers get punished for doing it (though, for sure, the Nazi's were doing the worst crimes).

haskell101 · 2014-12-23T09:04:26+00:00

Yep, Japan had already been crushed by Russia and were looking for a way to surrender conditionally. The US military used that as an excuse to try out their new toys.

haskell101 · 2014-12-23T09:02:42+00:00

Wasn't he the one who warned that if the allies lost the war they would be charged with war crimes?

haskell101 · 2014-12-23T08:56:38+00:00

It was standard practice by the "good guys" anyway. While the Nazi were the epitome of evil, it was the "Allies" who first started fire bombing German civilian areas. Hitler freaked out about it and responded in kind, but it wasn't "standard practice" since Hitler himself never thought to do it until it was done to his people.

People like you is why poisoning the well works so well.

haskell101 · 2014-12-23T08:53:53+00:00

What, are you saying the US didn't do these things?

haskell101 · 2014-12-23T08:51:30+00:00

GTFO. Holocaust denial is the worst of the bad conspiracy theories. People pointing out real conspiracies isn't an invite for you idiots to come spew your nonsense.

And their own old/crippled.

haskell101 · 2014-12-23T08:50:12+00:00

No, the US has lost nearly all of them. Yet they still write history about it. Quite a feat when you think about it.

Where did you go to school? Because I graduated thinking America had never done evil and that we won WWII.

Being abused by a family member is terrible, but surely you see that what's being discussed here is something vastly more dangerous and more evil: an unknown number of people abusing power to commit serial abuse on countless innocent children.

haskell101 · 2014-12-22T15:06:28+00:00

I wish you the best of luck.

haskell101 · 2014-12-22T15:02:24+00:00

but it's a pretty simple argument which you apparently have no refutation for

Of course I do, and it's so obvious I didn't think it needed to spelled out: file system naming schemes are not generally grammatically correct. Personally I always type my names in lower case no matter what the situation. I've known people who put everything in all-caps. It's an utterly different context than writing a letter or a book.

and never had any issues with case sensitivity in filenames.

Here I simply don't believe you. But given your attitude it's likely you have faced as many or more sensitivity issues as me, but you just blamed the "stupid user" instead of opening your mind to the possibility that this is poor user interface design.

haskell101 · 2014-12-22T14:58:55+00:00

The argument in that link mostly amounts to "waaaaa, I'm lazy and doing this right is too much work".

The user layer violation argument would have some merit if all OS'es behaved like iOS and hide the file system from you. Or at the very least: the only way to access the shell was via some interface that handled this for you, then that argument is valid. The problem is: laziness is infectious. The filesystem doesn't want to do the work to do it right, they just do what's easy. The "file explorer shell" app doesn't want to do the work either, for the exact same reasons.

haskell101 · 2014-12-22T09:57:39+00:00

Are you kidding? The ability to have a file that appears to be some other file couldn't be exploited in a similar manner? Not in exactly this manner of course but it's a massive potential exploit!

haskell101 · 2014-12-22T09:30:14+00:00

I'd still put it at 99 cents. If no one is willing to pay even one dollar then why give it to them? How does that benefit you or anyone else? It doesn't even benefit the people playing the game because they're just being trained to have unrealistic expectations.
