No it isn't. I found it easier to _leave it alone_ rather than change it

And axioms should only be introduced with the utmost care.
Perhaps, since this is an axiom, you would like to formally
present the axiomatic system from which it comes?

So, you take as an evident truth that killing in war is right.
Well, all I can say is that your axiomatic system sucks, and
I will just go with not-Kulkian moral geometry.

Cool. Now you should realize these are not all the women that

No, you are talking about a tiny minority of those women who
self-identify as feminist.  For most women that means that women
have equal rights as men.  Not the lunatic fringe that declare
all heterosexual sex is rape.

The entire 2GB isn't mapped.  Unless you've got a swapfile that big, it is
impossible for the stack to run into the heap.

Uneducated, perhaps, I quit for financial reasons myself. I was busy making
80k a year racing standarbred horses around the US. We would get a good
laugh at the supposed "highly educated" lot that couldn't handle the
business for more than a year, and nearly always left BROKE.

Anyone who simply feels that gender should not affect pay scale does not a
true feminist or feminist supporter make. That's like saying someone is a
left wing extremist because they support liberal environmental policies.
When if fact, every other view they share could very well be considered
conservative.
Most self proclaimed feminists that I've crossed paths with have accepted
that label based on more than just equal pay for equal work. I'm don't wish
to imply that I'm not sympathetic to some of their other needs \ demands \
gripes, just that I've no time for zealots and fanatics with chips on their
shoulders so large as to make meaningful dialog impossible. Not to mention,
that if I want my balls busted I'll use a hammer. (-:

Can you think your way out of a wet paper bag?  In one post, you say
that you can't generalize because "not all" have a political agenda,
and the next post *you yourself* generalize when you say that they

Please explain how these concepts are related.  They are not.  Just

At least:-).  While I don't like having a different color for
everything under the sun (especially as the simplified parsers used in
the editors often get it wrong anyway), I've found it useful to use
colors (or fonts) to distinguish :

keywords: if I mistype one, I notice immediately, because it
    doesn't change color when I hit the blank after it.

comments: especially using block comments, as required by javadoc.
    (Even in C, I *always* closed my comments at the end of each
    line.)

strings and character literals: especially useful in the cases where
    the strings contain data that could be interpreted as code.

The other "modern" features I like are parentheses matching (already
present in the original vi) and automatic indenting (which signals
immediately when I've got a parentheses too many or too few.

Shoot, you could use 8088s (e.g., the original IBM PC

That's silly.  All you need is to queue the upgrade to
any given page until nobody's looking at it.  Or if you
need to upgrade the software they're using to view the
pages, install the new version, set it up so that when
a terminal is reset it uses the new version, and leave
the old version in place for a few weeks until every
terminal has been reset.  You want something that can 
be up 24/7?  Base it on OpenVMS or on Unix, and get 
an online uninterruptible power supply for the 
computer; hook that up to an emergency generator, and 
you can go years without downtime.  Your terminals will 
go down when there's a power outage, so you also need 
generator hookup for the vital ones.  With UPS, you 
wouldn't need the generator unless the power goes out 
for more than a few minutes, but better safe than sorry; 
get a generator.  The terminals don't need to be on UPS 
because if the power supply is interrupted for two 
seconds while the generator kicks in, the user will 
barely notice.  But you don't want the computer's power 
supply to be out for that long, so it needs the
online UPS for totally uninterrupted operation.  
Above all, you don't want the computer stopping for
no reason, so run it on Unix or VMS, and you won't
go down unless there's a hardware problem or some
idiot runs a forkbomb.

It's the default on most unix systems, I'd imagine. Anytime I use
RealPlayer or MediaPlayer on Windows ME, it brings the entire system to
a screeching halt (except for the Media Player or Real Player).  With
unix, I can run Real Player and actually do other
computationally-intensive tasks.  Imagine that.

One doesn't have to try too hard to make Windows unresponsive to other
tasks.  Plus, one other bad thing about Windows is that a lot of apps
"silently" crash without you noticing it, which takes chunks out of the
overall system reliability.  You don't notice it until you do something
very minor, which REALLY hoses your system.  At least with Linux, the
entire OS crashes at once.  With Windows, little bricks are taken out of
the structure one at a time with each minor little "silent crash", and
then, when you're least expecting it, one minor little app topples the
entire structure.  With Linux, it's either the big mushroom cloud, or
your system keeps running reliably.  I'd rather have the entire system
crash at once than having gradual kernel breakdowns occurring behind my
back, which then blows up in my face when I least expect it.

No software is perfect, but Windows is right there at the bottom of the
heap.

Their assumption, admittedly wrong in some cases, being that the intended

I'll admit, that's pretty silly considering their target audience is the
