> It would likely frighten me to know how much JBoss and Websphere is still used.

Most of the big banks

What if the FBI had a large part in organizing such a movement? Should they be prosecuted too?

I want to identify the memory hog(s) first so I can determine the next course of action.

Suddenly seeing a black screen with an Apple while I'm in the middle of something important is irritating at best, especially when it happens repeatedly and I haven't pinned down the RC.

I didn't see it mentioned but I had heard that the Haitians deforested most of their more mountainous side of Hispaniola so what little top soil was there was washed away. This is also why there is a torrential flood risk especially during and after tropical storms.

The Cibao on the Dominican side is a really fertile and productive agricultural area.

Haitians are pretty much screwed, especially with friends like the Clinton Foundation, who needs enemies.

They were next on the list recommended by WSB, IIRC.

> the powers that rule USA don't realize that soon the only tool left to common people is violence?

A clever way to create a situation to pass mass gun control and limit those pesky civil liberties, no?

Huh? Inflation is very real. The dollars I saved from 20 years ago buy a lot less across the consumer spectrum. Prices don't go up, the money's purchasing power goes down. That is not a "boogeyman", it's theft by the inflation tax.

Technically, Ikea is a Swedish multinational conglomerate whose retail locations are partly associated with a Dutch non-profit "Stichting_INGKA_Foundation" founded by Ikea's founder.

Essentially, Ikea is profitable because it utilizes a tax-avoidance strategy involving the use of a non-profit and so your comment is in my opinion basically true and they are "cheating" a bit. A pretty slick cheat, though.

Also, thank you for shining a light on this as I was ignorant of the whole thing.

> Especially since someone can be born in Bosnia/Croatia and be a Serb or vice versa

A famous historical example of this would be Nikola Tesla, no?

Surely you're being sarcastic?

to whoever downvoted me, it's this simple.

You are either:

A platform. That allows all voices to be heard. 1st Amendment protections.

A publisher. That can edit or censor. And can be sued for slander and libel.

Whatever sophistry section 230 discussion is being fogged with, the above should be the way it is, period.

Why is this being downvoted? Because of someone else's tip, I tried tweeting these 7 characters: gtv.org and had my account locked within 3 seconds.

What kind of orwellian shit is that?!? The twitter account itself was used very sparingly to upload content from my PS4, not controversial in the least.

There is very clearly an agenda being applied here. Which is fine with me because this kind of repression is indication of desperation.

Not bad: INTJ 0.197490 INTP 0.138727 INFJ 0.127998 INFP 0.125142 ENTP 0.091211

I consistently score INTP. Another account which I have about 8 years of sometimes voluminous comment history with for non-technical topics produces the same results in the same order. Hmm, maybe I'm turning into an INTJ with age... Kind of makes sense.

Like others, I'm wondering what the "controversiality" value indicates.

I'm pleasantly surprised and slightly uneasy.
