Wow talk about someone not prepared to look at data but instead sneer and insult . Quelle surprise (that's French by the way)

It's also not like your 'perfect' system wasn't financed by of the dirtiest money humanity has ever seen.

The US doesn't have true freedom of speech. I can give you many examples of things that you aren't allowed to say in the US.

Yes, that's fair. I should have flagged it and moved on.

Good. More than happy to not have people like you anywhere near India.

"India is also struggling tremendously; the country has the dubious honor of claiming 13 of the 20 slots in the top most-polluted cities in the world. "

> If I leave cash on the street should I expect it to be safe? Is that a deep security issue?

Exactly. This is why, where there are trusted and easy to access alternatives, people generally don't possess and carry around large amounts of cash.

New comment by anu_gupta in "Leicester City: Dirty Dozen or Harvard Case Study?"

I think that the major concentration of PED issues is in sports that are focused on individual performances, eg athletics, cycling, baseball. The effects of PEDs (unless it's a team wide programme) have much less impact in team sports. It's also much, much harder to keep secret. People and players with axes to grind and all that.

That's not to say there isn't drug taking going on; but to imply that's the reason for Leicester's success this season is indeed controversial, and as far as I can see, without merit.

Chelsea have had a startling decline from champions last year to mid table fodder, this year. Does that mean they've stopped doping?

It does matter. The charges are different, the sentencing is different.

> n. I wrote my post specifically gender-neutral so as to prepare for the inevitable accusation of sexism, and then reveal that in my example the female was the perpetrator.

Not really interested in engaging with someone who merely wants to set traps for people.

The problem is that it's hard to argue with racist trolls. Pretty much anything you do plays into their need for attention and an audience.

Still, i upvoted you, and hopefully you won't get banned.

> Incidentally, calm down a bit - you sound pretty outraged yourself!

This seems to be your pattern when you get upset. You've told someone else they were being defensive, now you're saying I need to calm down.

I guess that's easier than rebooting a server and turning off SIP.

No, I'm just bored of faux-outrage and agenda pushing.

If this is such a critical issue, then reboot your Mac and disable SIP. 5 minutes and done. In the time it's taken you to post all your comments here, you could have fixed it.

[edited to add]

It's not like SIP was a secret - it was one of the major features of El Capitan. Didn't you do any research before upgrading your mission critical server to El Capitan?

I'm talking about how you got this version of git on this server. A server that's so mission critical that you're not allowed to reboot it.

Why would you install Xcode on such a important box?

anu_gupta — Mon, 18 Apr 2016 09:00:16 +0000

So you install development tools like XCode on a server?
