You mean it's not?

That's like saying the drug war down in Mexico which from time to time spills across the boarder is also "sounds a lot like two immature whingebags fighting their own little war." ... but only when viewed from a distance and without paying much attention

Where there is money to be made and a willingness to ignore the law... force will be used to protect it.

For most people, the only indication they have of the underground drug economy/war is when you see a story on the news about a shootout between rival gangs or some government agency announcing a drug bust and showing off the amount of drugs and cash they seized.

Physical borders being what they are to the internet, many an international group has long been attracted who attempt to find their own way to make quite a bit of money with it.

Again, be it police being successful in pushing drug producers/transporters/dealers/etc out of a given area, or widely used black lists successfully decreasing the effectiveness of ones profit making ventures... force is to be expected from those who see the law as something to be ignored.

However, Spamhaus don't 'block' anyone, they simply collate a list of servers that they believe are spammers, and people can choose to use it or not - freedom of internet choice.

Their lists are however used by ISPs to block.

This sort of thing has happened before... where anti-spam organizations have been successful in their aims, leading to the lashing out of the no-good-nicks who feel wronged because their viagra messages ads are now less likely to be seen.

Cheevos christ! I go away for a few months and discovery I nearly missed out on!

No, this thread started in 2013

Maybe not here... but I'm sure there is no chance that that you've referenced it elsewhere in such long threads about such nonsense.

Or to quote you (in part) a few pages (10) into that thread:

Oh and yeah I'm gonna get torched on this message board cus I don't have as many Cheevos as most of you. This board is one of the rare places where I don't have as much cred.

Time to say Places++?

@kettch:That option also exists on the full keyboard when entering a password.

I know, sweetie, it's all bronco bama's fault.

Good to have a reminder of how seriously you take such serious issues.

@dahat: Is the feigned outrage the only schtick you know? You should go on strike with the rest of your "producer" buddies. That'll teach the media for ignoring your feelings.

You must be new... I do not feign anything... I am outraged that not only does the president think an ambassador being murdered by a terrorist attack is a minor thing... but that people like you are so eager to deflect... mmmm.... the desperation is delicious.

I wasn't saying the WH, DOD, etc wasn't blameless. I was underscoring the fact that this information is as non-existent on Bing as the Republican's rants were. You can turn this turd into your favorite talking points if you want. You just make the case of how insanely furiously righteous some people on the right can be... I bet your alias here used to be "Da-Tinfoil-Hat"...

By omission you did by trying to cast blame in a single discredited direction.

Again... the desperation is delicious.

@brian.shapiro: I was going based on the drop down list of sources on the customize page... which lacks the three sources you mentioned

@DeathByVisualStudio: "Regarding Benghazi"... you just be getting pretty desperate as even the mainstream Democrats have given up on that line of arguing as it is increasingly clear that a giant ball was dropped by State, DOD and the Whitehouse. Attempt to spin all you want... but it does not change the fact that a massive cover up is going on... one that the media would no doubt care about if it wasn't being done to protect the hide of a Democrat President.

@SteveRichter: I noticed that yesterday as well... But chaulked it up to the news sources selected... Most of which lean left. Daily Kos? Salon? Huffington? Where is something akin to the Daily Caller, Hot Air, or even Weasel Zippers?

I am fearful that this will lead to Star Wars Holiday Special... Episode Two:

Oh great, it requires x64. My Windows Mobile 6.5 app needs the emulator, which in turn needs Virtual PC for networking, which in turn requires x86 Windows. So, I installed Windows 8 x86.

I might just re-install Windows 8, but this time go x64. Anyone done this type of upgrade?

Another option is to use boot to VHD so that you have specific dev environments that run on your bare metal and can switch as needed with ease.

Everything is a compromise. Apple thinks they've made the best compromises. Some of us don't agree. Other's do.

And a quick search on Amazon for "iPad keyboard" turns up quite a few products intended for those who think Apple didn't compromised in the right place.

This is (just one of the many reasons) why I love about my Surface... the keyboard is just a cover... until I need it... and then it becomes a great keyboard as well.
