Skip to comments.How to Argue with a Liberal
Posted on 06/14/2009 10:54:24 AM PDT by yetidog
I am generally reluctant to argue politics with friends or acquaintances in social settings, but was pushed to it last night at my daughters house
and probably lost the friendship of more than one or two people who observed the whole thing and were disturbed by the intensity and mean-spirited content of the comments I directed to my liberal adversary
1. Dont avoid the arguments. I used to, but the times in which we live, the malignant character of American governmental leadership and the irresponsibility of the American media demands confrontation with liberal ideologues who may be friends , coworkers or relatives etc. No longer will I be an agreeable conversationalist and consensus-seeker on matters political, but a forceful advocate of conservative fact and opinion who has absolutely no problem denigrating and ridiculing the point of view of others when I know it to false, ill-informed or indicative of liberal group think (i.e. Bush Derangement Syndrome or BDS).
2. In framing your arguments, dont bother to defend conservatism with arguments of smaller government, low taxation and the like; instead, spend your energy attacking liberalism using sarcasm, ridicule and parody to the fullest extent possible. In response, liberals will usually emote. For example, my adversary last night told me he didnt need know things, because --in all seriousness-- his heart told him what to think . Emotional rationales often self-embarrass liberals with silly counterpoints.
3. Likewise, lead liberals into the world of fact and they will try to follow very unsuccessfully. Learn some (not all) relevant facts (and their origins) and use them judiciously and only when they substantiate a point that you have raised. Contrawise, always ask a liberal for facts and they will generally be embarrassed by their incapacity to do so in a precise and convincing manner.
4. Bush Derrangement Syndrome should be aggressively faced with moral equivalency and the apt comparison is not the incompetent Jimmy Carter, but Lyndon Johnson, the big-spending liberal Democrat who knowingly took us into a war he manufactured and that resulted in the deaths of 59,000 American soldiers. This is a very credible approach if you are a veteran,-- particularly of the Vietnam era variety --who can speak eloquently to an experience most do not have and with which any detrimental effects of Iraq and Afghanistan pale by comparison. I find bringing up LBJ mutes liberals with BDS as any retort that LBJ is not longer president is obviated by the fact that neither is Bush.
5. Do not be apprehensive that a liberal knows more about politics that you do. This is a mistaken artifact of American education that presupposes liberalisms intellectual superiority. If you are not familiar with the incidence of Marxist class theory in the social science disciplines of American higher education, you should become so in order to argue eloquently (1) the group-think intellectual poverty of liberalism and (2) an explanation of American voting behavior amongst so the so-called educational class of America.
6. Never accept the argument of Republican wealth and by inference greed. Never say, well I know some wealthy Democrats, too. Point out big names Soros, Spielberg, Buffett etc. that have aligned themselves with liberal causes. And the notion that conservatives give more to charity that liberals can also be worked in here as well.
7. Lastly, always conclude with this question of something like it: What circumstance, condition or consequence would have to develop in the United States that might cause you to consider that the election of Obama was one big--- mistake? I find this question compelling on two counts. One, the question will sometimes provoke a response that is part of the conservative narrative. Second Amendment issues come to mind. Secondly, the question may not provoke any response, a situation which makes self-evident the narrow intellectual, conceptual and behavioral parameters of liberal ideology.
Get mean, show your teeth
just dont get them knocked out.
7 great points, Thanks for the post!
Your post hits close to home.
Had it out with a iberal reletive (by marriage) this week-end.
What was his wifes main complaint?
I was "mean".
All I did was point out that Obama was not "saving" anyhting or anyone. That his bailouts were paid for and borne by the TAXPAYER - ME and others like me.
The truth is I was too angry and I don't like anger between family members.
"Get mean, show your teeth "
Reminds me of the end of "I was a Teenage werewolf" when the dad growled at the principal who had been his classmate.
The principal wet his pants! Yes! SHOW YOUR TEETH! Politeness has been thrown out the window by the liberals and we must fight their way.
Your suggestion of sarcasm as a sword and shield is absolutely correct. One of the greatest defenders of free speech in the past 100 years...was Will Rogers. Will could tear apart any political argument with sarcastic wit and cynical charm. The failures of almost every CNN "talker" is because of a absolute lack of sarcastic ability and the total lack of strength on facts.
How can you argue with that total state of denial?
great post, thanks
Lately I have tended to just point out that Democrats are racist in every policy they espouse, and that everything a Democrat advocates is based on theft. Everything. There is no Democrat policy that is not based on taking something away from one person to purchase the loyalty of another person, which destroys the person from whom they steal, and the person to whom the spoils are given. All of this is done at gunpoint, and if you don't believe me just try not paying your taxes and see how fast the people with guns come knocking at your door.
>>he didnt need know things, because —in all seriousness— his heart told him what to think
Most arguments with liberals eventually reach this point. You are giving them facts and they are telling you that they "feel" that you are wrong.
When they say that, I say that I "feel" that I am right AND I have verifiable facts. Once our feelings have cancelled each other out, they will just claim that they have "better feelings" or "more humane feelings" or some similar claim to moral superiority.
That's where you need to have read and understand The Communist Manifesto and The Law. Start comparing what they "feel" to what's in those two 150 year old books and prove to them that their feelings are consistent with Marx and that it was disproven by Bastiat long before the first communist ever shipped the first counter-revolutionary off to die!
But, sadly, you still won't win because you are arguing with an insane person. It's amusing, so enjoy the fun, but their minds are already spoiled.
You can only LAUGH at them.....flagrantly, in front of them...hilariously....and let them try and figure out why you are laughing....

We heard that we were 'mean' too, when we sponsored a Yes on 8 (Traditional Marriage) booth at the Farmers' Market. Ohhh, cut to the quick. Well, yes, we were spat upon as well and frothed at. Really got the libbies' ire up. One guy baited ME, sitting quietly in the background — "Why don't YOU come up here and argue with me?" "Because??..."
I've never liked the phrase that Rand chose. But I think it's basically that You and people like you ought to pay the costs and bear the burdens of the policies that are put in place by the people who despise you. And you ought to do so willingly -- you are so strong and capable, that it is just "mean" of you to show reluctance in stepping up and doing your patriotic duty of paying taxes.
My daughter is a true believing feminist. She gets nasty and mean. My other three kids are conservatives.
But I'm in a master's degree class on multiculturalism of all things, where the crap is so thick, my instructor actually enjoys reading a point of view that is diametrically different from dogma. So I'm getting straight hundreds so far.
There's no set way to argue with a liberal because some of them are misinformed, others are absolutely brainwashed, and you never really know whose mind might open a little bit when exposed to something different. Mostly, it's pointless.
At some point during the conversation, you will have to decide whether you want to drag this out tooth and nail-- or just back away. Just like at the bar, or when fighting for a parking space, or at the Department Store during the Holidays-- sometimes it's not worth it.
Good post..
Liberalism is a state of denial.
Perpetuating that state is not helpful to them.
"Most arguments with liberals eventually reach this point. You are giving them facts and they are telling you that they feel that you are wrong.:
My favorite retort?
"Children feel. Adults think. Please grow up."
"Sure the Republicans are the party of big money, but the Democrats are the party of really big money." - Noam Chomsky
At least your other kids are conservative! lol
Think twice before you use that LBJ analogy. George W. Bush (w/ 6 years of Republic control in Congress) is the 2nd biggest domestic spender (adjusted for inflation) in all of American history. Number 1? LBJ with his Great Society programs. No wonder the Republicans lost control in 2006. Fiscal conservatives stayed home. Though I suppose W has been or shortly will be bumped to the #3 position by the big O.
I bet she is not in denial....just trying to justify why she is sending her child to private school;o)
not bad
Start by asking questions of fact. Liberals have one thing in common they are just ill informed.
After they reveal their ignorance then make fun of them.
No, this doesn't change their minds, but at least it shuts them up.
Democrats are racist in every policy they espouse, and that everything a Democrat advocates is based on theft.
Correct; however, liberal BDS rearely has anything to do with Bush's fiscal programs, rather centers on Iraq and "lying about "WMD. It is difficult for liberals to argue fiscal responsibility given the tradtional platform of the Democratic Party, principles of socialism and their advocacy of big government. Bush's fiscal irresponsibility is more a conservative criticism than is is a liberal talking point or public policy criticism. The guy last night tried that one on me, but quickly went down in flames when I traced the economic policy history of the Democratic Party from the New Deal to the present time.
I like this approach, of asking questions and exposing the liberals general lack of knowledge and facts.
This can defuse a confrontation, and, in some cases, actually get the liberal to think about what you said and think more deeply about some issues he/she has "knee jerk" liberal views on.
The more people actually think and use reasoning ability, the more they see merit in conservative views. And while they may still have a liberal opinion, such as with healthcare for example, they may come to realize that socialized medicine won't be free, and that as much as they love the idea, they will realize somebody has to pay for it.
Then they may start to question all sorts of big government solutions to social problems and realize they all have a cost, no matter how well intentioned the liberals are by favoring such programs.
I agree with you Ditter. My brother is conservative but works for a government agency and disagrees with articles I send him from here! Stands to reason because he gets all his info from .... government agencies!!
Besides, I've found that you cannot change the mind of a hard headed person who thinks they are always right. You just upset yourself trying.
Thanks for the comments and the 'heads up' when talking with a liberal.
Reason is the only universally accepted means of determining truth. You can't find reason with these moon crickets. Their ability to misremember and misinterpret the past is absolutely legendary. My sugar count drops to near-coma levels when I talk politics with a uber-liberal hack.
Instead, I say to my liberal friends when going to a Chicago Cubs baseball game: "hey, you make more money than me so pick up my Cub tickets. They say, 'why should I do that?' Whereupon, I say, "cause you make more money than me and you should be able to help me cause I make less than you.... where they say, "that's crazy, the fact that I make more money than you doesn't give you a right to live off my spoils... buy your own ticket" And then I say, oh, ok, well, (fill in the blank yourself _________________)....
They don't grasp the connection. It's pathetic.
Depending on how set somebody is I prefer and have had good results with a more diplomatic approach.
Acknowledge their fears/concerns as legitimate. Calling them an idiot, demeaning them will just make them hostile and defensive. Ask them about their concerns fears and that may well bring up BDS or other liberal half-truths/legends. This is usually due to media representation, not a conscious effort at slander - here present them the facts in a direct and tactful manner.
Find what they are concerned about: the economy, jobs/industy, national defense, etc., and use that to your advantage.
One thing that I often do when talking with aquaintances is bring up the typical liberal line, but then say - but did you know - and then introduce the facts demonstrating the conservative approach. Don't tell them what to think, but then ask them what they think.
Several of my friends, who were your typical college liberals have changed their views and it's kinda funny to hear them defend gun ownership and our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan now.
Most liberals are not. To that end I am reminded about the warning about wrestling pigs in the mud...
The best way to argue with a liberal is to ask them questions with answers already known and grounded in facts. Don't tip your hand of your position, just ask more questions. They will expose themselves and you've saved yourself energy and strife.
"Bush got us into Iraq, JFK into Vietnam. Bush stole the election in Florida; Kennedy stole his in Chicago. Bush outed a CIA agent; Kennedy left hundreds of them to die in the surf at the Bay of Pigs. Bush lied about his military service; Kennedy accepted a Pulitzer Prize for a book written by Ted Sorenson. Bush was in bed with the Saudis, Kennedy with the Mafia. Oh."
David Mamet converted to conservatism and writes about in an article called "Why I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal'":
Though this quote may be kind of hard on Bush and open for disagreement, the liberals will sympathize. Mamet also makes some excellent points about the psychology behind the fairly tale land of liberalism.
I agree; you should not call anyone an idiot, fool, unpatriotic etc...but you can cerainly frame your comments in such a way that those hold liberal beliefs may for good reason be deserving of such appealations. And I would not back away from calling Obama something like an "inexperienced charlatan," Harry Reid a forlorn fool, Nancy Pelosi "her nastiness" or whatever provocative and sarcastic names come to mind. I think last night I may have called a certain Massachusetts congressperson "a piece of pus" or something equally awful. Another thing on names and personalities; If the comment is made that "you just hate every Democrat or liberal politician" it is easy enough to reply with a litany of "Blue Dogs" that you admire and quote the wisdom of the pre-Clinton Democratic Party estaqblishment such as Daniel Patrick Moynihan who noted that "the central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics, that determines the success of a society. The central liberal truth is that politics can change a culture and save it from itself." My liberal friend agreed wholehearedly with the first part of this statement when I quoted it to him but looked quite perplexed when he tried to digest the second part. So much for liberal intellectual superiority.
That's a good time to accuse him of not caring because if you do away with electricity for refrigeration and gas for trucks food is just not going to get to the poor.
I pray that she sees the truth, for the lives of your future grandchildren. The highest sacrament of the true feminist is the right to kill them.
One of my co-workers is a lefty who railed at W's foreign policy yet has a photo of Harry S. Truman tacked to her cubicle wall. When she went on one of her deranged tirades (which I always kept out of), I didn't have the heart to tell her that Truman is the only leader who has ever dropped a nuclear bomb on innocent civilians.
"the big-spending liberal Democrat who knowingly took us into a war he manufactured and that resulted in the deaths of 59,000 American soldiers"
History, dog, history.
We had people in Viet Nam under both Eisenhower and Kennedy. The reason we were there was to oppose the spread of communism.
Back then, things looked a lot different than they do now. It was widely presumed that the USSR would win Cold War I. They were doing this through "low level conflicts" around the globe.
Those with prescience saw that if Viet Nam fell all of Indochina would fall (the Domino Theory), which indeed came to pass. (When some libtard starts laughing scornfully at the Domino Theory, just ask him if he is totally ignorant of the fate of Cambodia and Laos, and if he never heard of boat people.)
Opposing evil is always a good thing to do, and that is why we were in Viet Nam. What Johnson is guilty of is cowardice: he was afraid to try and win the war. He was afraid that the Chinese and Soviets would come in, as the Chinese did in Korea.
Nixon was elected on a promise to get us out of Viet Nam with honor. He delivered. Vietnamization was a success. The South Viet Namese defeated the communists in two major battles. Then, after Watergate weakened the forces of good, evil slimebuckets in our legislature reneged on our promises to supply the South. That is why the North was finally able to take the South and launch its bloody reign of terror.
We had the war won until Teddy Kennedy and other servants of Satan handed victory to the communists.
And speaking of Watergate, all that crapola about it being some huge constitutional crisis is buncombe.
The dims were treating potential donors to the services of whores, and paying for it out of Democrat Party funds. Some of Nixon's staff thought it would be a good thing if the electorate became aware of that. However, not being criminals, they didn't know how to do it. This led them to hire some incompetents, who got caught.
Nixon's staff, of course, kept him in the dark until the last minute. Until after the last minute, actually: they waited until he had denied it on TV before they told him.
At that point he decided to cover it up, which was not so unreasonable, considering that it was a minor matter compared to the crimes that FDR, Truman, and Kennedy had covered up. Working together, the forces of evil (dims in the legislature, judiciary, academia, and media) were able to exaggerate it out of all proportion.
Rather than put the country through the turmoil of an impeachment (and he would certainly have been acquitted by the Senate), Nixon resigned—unlike Klintoon. This resignation allowed the dims to throw South Viet Nam to the wolves. This, of course, did incalculable harm to the US, and continues to harm us today, which pleases the dims to no end.
How is that any different than folks from our side quoting Limbaugh?
We have no disagreement here. I have taught American History at the college level for over 20 years and agree with most of what you say. My point is that considering Iraq as key feature of BDS, LBJ's phony Gulf of Tonkin incident was far a more serious misuse of the truth than was Bush's (apparently) mistaken assertion that Iraq possessed WMD.
Converting a liberal is like seducing a virgin ;-) You gotta go slow sometimes.
Did I quote Limbaugh? In any event, I would hardly call anyone or everyone who might quote Limbaugh intellectually impoverished. On second thought, I might.... as it is liberals who are usually running around quoting him.
I never said you did.
I asked, regarding your statement:
argue eloquently (1) the group-think intellectual poverty of liberalism
How is quoting Limbaugh (as many do) not the same as group-think intellectual poverty?
It's just a question.
It's just a question.
How, then, is quoting Thomas Jefferson and James Madison (as many do) not the same as group-think intellectual poverty?
It's just a question.
It's not like they're quoting some brain-dead Hollywood actor...
Quoting a radio actor is much different, isn't it?
You compare Limbaugh to Jefferson and Madison?
FYI, this poster you're conversing with appears to DETEST Limbaugh. He comes on every thread, Limbaugh related or not, and denegrates him.

200 E. Del Mar Blvd Ste 119 Pasadena CA 91105 USA
Humanitarian relief and development staff around the world are facing increasing challenges to their physical security and psychological well-being. Staff are confronted with significant stressors, from natural disaster recovery, to civil war, to constant overwhelming need in the face of insufficient resources. Experiencing trauma, both directly and vicariously, is an occupational hazard. Aid workers exposed to such things are at increased risk for psychological distress and/or impaired functioning. Ongoing psychological and spiritual support helps to reduce distress and increases the long-term effectiveness of staff and the organizations for which they work.

I'd confidently say 99% of applications we write don't need to address more than 2Gb of memory. Of course, there's a lot of obvious benefit to the OS running 64-bit to address more RAM, but is there any particular reason a typical application would be compiled 64bit?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
There are performance improvements that might see with 64-bit. A good example is that some parameters in function calls are passed via registers (less things to push on the stack).
Edit I looked up some of my old notes from when I was studying some of the differences of running our product with a 64-bit build versus a 32-bit build. I ran the tests on a quad core 64-bit machine. So there is the question of comparing apples to oranges since the 32-bit was running under the emulation mode obviously. However, it seems that many things I read such as this, for example, consistently say that the speed hit for WOW64 is not significant. But even if that statement is not true, your application will almost certainly be run on a 64-bit OS. Thus a comparison of a 32-bit build versus 64-bit on a 64-bit machine has value.
In the testing I performed (certainly not comprehensive), I did not find any cases where the 32-bit build was faster. However many of the SQL intensive operations I ran (high CPU and high I/O) were 20% to 50% faster when running with the 64-bit build. These tests involved some fairly "ugly" SQL statements and also some TPCC tests with high concurrency. Of course, a lot depends on compiler switches quite a bit, so you need to do your own testing.
Building them as 64-bit now, even if you never release the build, can help you find and repair problems that you will encounter later when you're forced to build and release as 64-bit.
x64 has eight more general purpose registers that aren't available when running 32-bit code. That's three times as many (twice as many if you count ESI, EDI, EBP and ESP as general purpose; I don't). That can save a lot of loads and stores in functions that use more than four variables.
Don't underestimate the marketing value of offering a native 64-bit version of your product.
Also, you might be surprised just how many people work on apps that require as much memory as they can get.
I'd say only do it if you need more that 2GB.
One thing is 64-bit compilation means (obviously) 64-bit pointers. That means the code and data structures get a bit bigger, meaning that the app. will benefit a little less from cache and will hit the virtual memory a bit more often etc.
So, if you don't need it, the basic effect is to make your app a bit slower and more bloated for no reason.
That said, as time goes on, you'll care more about 64 bit anyway just because that's what all the tools and libraries etc will be written for. Even if your app can live quite happily in 64K, you're unlikely to use 16 bit code - the gains don't really matter (it's a small fast app anyway) and are certainly outweighed by the hassle involved. In time, we'll see 32-bit much the same way.
You could consider it as future-proofing. It may be a long way away, but consider some years in to the future, where 64-bit OS and CPUs are ubiquitous (consider how 16-bit faded away when 32-bit took over). If your application is 32-bit and all your competitors have moved on to 64-bit by then, your application could be seen as (or accused by your competitors as) out of date, slower, or incapable of change. Maybe even one day support for 32-bit applications will be dropped or incomplete (can Windows 7 run 16-bit apps properly?). If you're already building a 64-bit version of your application today, you avoid these problems. If you put it off till later, you might write a lot more code between now and when you port, then your port will be even harder.
For a lot of applications there aren't many compelling technical reasons, but if it's easy, porting now might save you effort in future.
If you don't need the extended address space, delivering in 64 bits mode offers nothing and has some disadvantage like increasing the memory consumption and the cache pressure.
While we offer 64 bits builds, our customer who are at the limit are pushing us to reduce the memory consumption so that they get these advantages.
All applications that may need lots of memory: database servers that want to cache lots of data in memory, scientific applications that handle lots of data, ...
I've recently read this article,Optimizing software in C++. In chapter
Mark Wilkins already noted in this thread about more registers for function calls. Another interesting property of 64 bit system is this:
SSE2 instructions can provide excellent optimizations and they are being increasingly used, so in my opinion this is a notable feature.
Fastcall makes calling subroutines faster by keeping the first four parameters in registers.
When you say that 99% of apps won't benefit from 64-bit, that may well be true for you personally, but during the day I use Visual Studio and Xcode to compile C++ with a large codebase, search the multi-Gb repositories with Google Desktop and Spotlight. Then I come home to write music using a sequencer using several Gb of sound libraries, and do some photoshopping on my 20Gb of photos, and maybe do a bit of video editing with my holiday clips.
So for me (and I dare say many other users), having 64-bit versions of many of these apps will be a great advantage. Word processor, web browser, email client: maybe not. But anything involved with large media will really benefit.
More data can be processed per clock cycle, which can deliver performance improvements to e.g. crypto, video encoding, etc. applications

Identifying and discussing the six steps of Programming
A program is list of instructions or step by step instructions for the computer to process or complete a particular task or job. These ordered sequences of instructions are executed or followed to process the data. The instructions are the set of statements used in a programming language such as C, BASIC.
In order to create a list of instructions or program, it is required to follow a six step procedure. This process is called programming or software development.
These lists of instructions have detailed steps that are followed by the computer to process the data into required information.
Hence, a program must contain list of instructions in order to convert the input data into required output.
There are six steps of programming for creating software are as follows:
1) Program Specification
2) Program Design
3) Program Code
4) Program Test
5) Program Documentation
6) Program Maintenance
Consider the figure given below showing the six steps of programming for creating or developing software or a project:
Discussion of Six Steps of Programming:
The six steps or phases of the programming environment used for developing software or a project are as discussed:
1. Program Specification:
It the first step in the phase or procedure of programming and also known as program definition or program analysis.
In the program specification step, the programmer or the end user must specify five items which are:
Program's objectives, desired output, the input data required, processing requirements and documentation.
• Program objectives: The program objective is a clear statement of the problem that we are trying to solve. For Example, it can be a statement like the following "I want a billing system for recording day to day bills of the shop"
• Desired output: It is always the best way to specify outputs before the inputs. We should determine what data will go into the system and what information should come out of the system. Therefore the end user should draw or write the desired output needed.
For Example: Consider the figure given below:
(End User sketch of desired output)
• Input Data: The Input data and the processing requirements are determined by the programmer from the desired output written by the end user.
• Processing Requirements: The processing tasks which are required for converting the input data into output is specified in the processing requirements.
• Documentation: It is an ongoing process in programming. The objectives, input data, output, processing requirements are recorded.
These are the steps to be followed in program specification.
2. Program Design: The program design is the second step in the process of programming.
In this step the solution is created using structured programming techniques. These techniques consist of the following:
• Top down program design
• Pseudo code
• Flow charts
• Logic structures
• Documentation
These techniques are used to create a solution to the problem defined. Thus, the program is designed to know the flow of the process.
• Top-down program design: This approach is used to recognize and analyzing the program's processing steps known as modules. Each module is constituted of or composed from logically related statements.
• Pseudo code: It is the outline of the logic of the program that is going to be written by the programmer. Pseudo code is like a summary of the program before it is written. It expresses the logic of what you want the program to do.
• Flowcharts: The symbolic representation of programs is called Flowchart. It uses different symbols, arrows to define relationships in programming.
• Logic structures: Logic structure is used in flowcharts for writing structured programs. These structures are used for performing operations and taking decisions in solving a problem.
For example: one of its types is Repetition structure.
• Documentation: It is an ongoing process in programming. Thus, these are the procedures that are to be considered in program design.
3. Program Code:
It is the third step in the process of programming. The program written or coded using a programming language is called program code. The program consists of letters, symbols and numbers which instruct the computer to perform a task.
There are different languages such as content markup language and programming language which is used for program coding.
4. Program Test:
The process of testing the program and elimination the errors is known as program testing or debugging. It is the fourth step in the process of programming.
Programming errors are mainly of two types: Syntax errors and Logic errors:
• Syntax errors: A syntax error occurs when rules of programming language are violated.
• Logic errors: A Logic error occurs when the programmer uses a bad logic such as incorrect calculation or procedures.
5. Program Documentation:
The fifth step of programming is Program Documentation. The documentation which is done in all programming steps are combined and is reviewed and distributed, since it will be used for people who may be involved with the program in future.
The documentation is commonly needed for the following people:
• Users: The users always want and require having information about the usage of the software. Hence the documents are provided in the form of printed manuals or the "help" option in the application.
• Operators: The operators need the documentation for dealing with errors while using the program.
• Programmers: The programmers who created the program might forget the procedures used, as the time passes. This will help them to review it. Therefore the documentation given to the programmers should contain the detailed data of the program.
6. Program Maintenance:
The final step in the programming process is Program Maintenance. Most of the cost is used for application maintenance. The purpose of program maintenance is to ensure that current programs are operating efficiently and without errors.
This job is done by Maintenance programmer. There are two activities involved in program maintenance:
• Operations: The operational activities involve identifying and correcting operational errors, making the programs easier to use and install.
• Changing Needs: The changing of needs occurs in every organization. Hence, the program must also change with them. Programs must be redesigned due to new company's policies and laws.

Did you forget about the terrific The Piano (perhaps my favorite of the year), or did it just not make the cut for you.
I have to admit, I am a bit mystified about your love of Philadelphia in light of your hate of Erin Brockovich. I know which "social issues" film I'd rather watch again.
But then, this is your list, not mine...
Fun lists!
Shalom, y'all!

1993 is one of several years that were difficult for me to narrow down. I love The Piano, it was hard for me to find room for it. Tell me, you like EB better than Philadelphia?

After creating a network as described on the official wordpress codex and installing the Wordpress MU Domain Mapper Plugin, using recommended settings and making amendments and additions to files where necessary.
I then created a new secondary site(subdomain). Now the
main.co.za and
sec.main.co.za are existent and both dashboards work, but the user has to log in again when logging into the
sec.main.co.za linking from
main.co.za. I belive this is standard and the browser won't allow persistent connections / cookie sessions between different urls.
Everything appears to be fine except I have registed
sec.co.za and would like that to be the address oh
sec.main.co.za home. How can this be achieved?
Are the settings within 'domain mapping' in tools the secondary site? Should I change it under Domains in Settings of "Network Administrator"? or should I change the URL of the site under the "sites"->"all sites" within network administrator.
Let me know of the best practise. Thanks

Uveitis and primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) are diseases associated with the invasion of lymphocytes into various regions of the eye, accompanied by expression of inflammatory cytokines. While these diseases are very different in terms of survivability and treatment options they have similar symptoms that make accurate diagnosis challenging. Furthermore, the diagnostic yield with state-of-the-art techniques for cell and cytokine analysis of vitreous and aqueous humor samples is under 20% due to inadequate sensitivity. This paper describes a simple sandwich immunofluorescence assay (sIFA) microfluidic device that is capable of identifying important analytes in ocular biopsies as a potential alternative to current diagnostic approaches. Detection is accomplished by capture of the target molecules on antibody-coated, vertical, oval shaped pillars in a microfluidic device followed by a biotinylated detection antibody and finally florescent avidin for target molecule quantification. Cytokine concentration measurements were carried out on aqueous humor samples from rats with endotoxin-induced uveitis as well as human cataract patients. Results correlated well with conventional protein quantification techniques and additionally, measurements from the human samples surpassed detection limits of current state-of-the-art immunoassay techniques. The single-digit femtomolar range of detection of this sIFA system provides lower limits of detection when compared to traditional techniques and allows for the mapping of the cytokine content of vitreous biopsies with detection limits that have yet to be realized using cost effective microfluidics. Furthermore, the relative simplicity of the device design, fabrication and ability to automate makes it easily translatable from the laboratory to a clinical setting.

MONTREAL—Mile High Media has released the safe-for-work trailer to Wives Club. Wives Club is the fourth release from Sweet Sinema, Mile High Media's new studio offering XXX re-imaginings of Hollywood's classic movies.
The trailer provides the first look at Nina Hartley, Raylene and Helly Mae Hellfire as scorned wives who decide to learn from their cheating exes. To view the trailer, click here.
Sweet Sinema pays homage to a classic tale of aging "first wives" and callous, cheating husbands. In Wives Club former college friends Raylene, Nina, and Helly reconnect at now-famous movie star Helly's book signing. As they reminisce over lunch, the three ladies discover they've all been dumped by cheating husbands, in favor of young, hot bimbos. While passive "doormat" Nina keeps faith her husband Jay will return, Raylene and Helly decide to even the score with cheating exes Mark and Evan. Wives Club is a fun, sexy tale exploring the powerful fantasy of older/younger sex.
Written and directed by Nica Noelle, Wives Club stars Nina Hartley, Evan Stone, Raylene, Helly Mae Hellfire, Evelyn Lin, Chastity Lynn, Seth Gamble, Mark Wood and Ash Hollywood. Veronica Hart guest stars in a non-sex role.
"There's a lot of demand for our next Sweet Sinema title, so we wanted to get fans the trailer for Wives Club as quickly as possible," Mile High Media Vice President Jon Blitt said. "Designed for couples with strong, intriguing plots based on popular Hollywood classics, Sweet Sinema movies are the perfect gift to give a loved one on Valentine's Day."
Like its sister studios Sweetheart Video and Sweet Sinner, Sweet Sinema is developed with couples in mind, providing real lovemaking and real orgasms.

Skip to comments.Boardgaming is fantastic!
Posted on 02/06/2014 10:20:41 AM PST by olepap
My friends, I have been playing board games with my geeky friends for the past 2 years and it has opened up a whole new dimension in my life. These are real, physical games with real people.
Twilight Imperium is the best I have found so far, but other great games are Warparty and Avalon: The Resistance. Sometimes I leave a gaming session and my BRAIN is working overtime, planning strategies, reviewing critical moments of the game.
This is my top recommendation for you, my unknown friends: get into gaming. You can find gamers on meetup.com -Pap
I second this. Rediscovered boardgames after my time with war games in the '70s and '80s. The modern board games are fantastic.
My wife and I tend to enjoy coop style Ameritrash and quite a few Euores as well.
Cool to find a fellow boardgamer on FR.
Happy gaming!
I think I may have played this once but don't remember.
I did..............once..................1979................or 1978...........or..............
My sister and I have been talking about bringing back board games for whenever I'm on leave, or when the family is out at the cabin.
There's been a kiosk at the mall selling board games, think I might brave the weekend crowds and go shopping next payday.
Cool vanity.
Once in a while I meet up with some old friends and have Axis and Allies games that get pretty intense.
I agree, used to own a Risk game that I bought in Frankfurt, figured anything having to do w/world conquest should be in German...
A few weeks ago during the Big Freeze my teenagers were stuck at home for several days and (due to some discipline issues) they were without electronics. They played card and board games the entire week and actually enoyed themselves a lot. The wife and I play games with them fairly often.
Hit up your local thrift store or garage sales in the summer. The number of rare and unique boardgames you can find is amazing.
I scored a copy of the hard to find Milton Bradley Dark Tower for 2.00. I had a blast playing it! I was able to then sell it for 300 dollars. Not too bad.
ping for later reading
my husband and I, squ ares that we are, play something almost every day...rummy, sequence,or a dice game...we love games...
"Who say Ukraine weak?"
Plain old Chess junkie here, but Risk is a another family favorite.
Monopoly was a fun option for awhile...until the kiddies decided to liven it up by making it a contact sport.
Yes, actual board games. Some are story driven (Arkham Horror is a game using the HP Lovecraft Cthullu theme). We enjoy Steam, a train themed game.
We went a bit overboard and aquired more games than we should have but we will eventually get to all of them.
Others for consideration:
Wooden ships and Iron Men
Settlers of Catan
Air Force and the Dauntless expansion
yep. I get it.
and while I don't play boardgames with friends, I do attend a weekly Texas Hold'em poker game.. it matters little what the game is however, we would have fun playing hearts.
it's a great time each week to get together, laugh and socialize.
I look forward to it all week long.
Dark Tower was an awesome game, used to play that all the time when I was a kid.
Risk Rocks!
"I can't believe you're just giving him Australia. Australia is the key to the whole game!"
Whenever I visit the family at Christmas we play "Last Night on Earth".
IMO it's the best Zombie game out there. It's not particularly bloodthirsty, it's tense and dramatic and it effortlessly engages people who don't normally play boardgames.
Ditto that...playing Passout was the only time in my life that I drank 24 beers in one evening. 1981...I was paralyzed on my friends parents sofa, who weren't home of course. All I remember was laying on the sofa not able to move watching some girls mother chase her daughter through the house...what a mess...good times...
I still have mine and play it now and again.
I play against demons on my Ouija board game.
In college in the 1970s I often played Risk with a few college friends. One player would win way more often than the rest of us, regardless of whether the Australia strategy was used.
Later on, the winning player went into naval officer training, rose through the ranks and was given his own ship to command.
I like to think I was part of his strategy honing skill set.
Richthofen's War by Avalon Hill, 1972.
A Ticket to Ride
are favorites at our house. Not hard to teach new players, and the gamss are done in an hour.
We also play Dungeons and Dragons sometimes, during school vacation periods.
we have a closet full of games and not enough time to play them.
Used to play also. My favorites were Terrible Swift Sword (Gettysburg)and Carrier War (WWII Pacific).
I have that one, plus 1776
Squad Leader....
It's still published as Advanced Squad Leader.
PanzerBlitz/Leader. PanzerGruppe Guidarian. And don't forget the 9 mapper War in Europe!
Best board GAME ever. Avalon Hill's Battle of the Bulge 1965. Not good history, but, a blast to play.
There is still a large wargaming community out there!
I always liked being the Banker in Monopoly because it made it easier to embezzle.
We used to have 30-army battles over Siam. Damned right Australia was the key. Asia is tough to get and hold, but criminy! 7 armies!
I used to be a big fan of Avalon hills bookshelf games.
30 posts before Avalon Hill games mentioned?
If bro-in-law have only a few hours, AH's Gettysburg is good fun, if we have more time the very detailed Devils Den or Bull Run might happen.
But the non-hex games they put out, specifically the game about Arnhem (Bridge too far) is my fav of all. 2 players can have opposing forces in the same zone simultaneously.
Yeah. Panzer Blitz back in the 70's. Squad Leader. I recently played the first 3 Squad Leader scenarios with Rolf - The Guards Counterattack, The Tractor Works, and the Streets of Stalingrad. It was very intense. The poignant part? It was probably the last time I will ever play Squad Leader.
Guys, it is so great - I spend time with the boys, hootin and hollerin. My wife is thrilled with my new hobby that has nothing to do with guns, liquor, or bad women.
Ah yes, Squad Leader, the orginal, I still have mine. I had about 200 Avalon Hill and other war games at one time.
CATAN is a great family game.
I still have my fleet.
Space Hulk is on the computer now. Sin of Damnation missions are pretty cool.
my favorite boardgame now is Redneck Wars and Trailerpark Wars when I want to release my inner redneck with my West Coast and IL in-laws. Its a hoot!
Thrift stores are the best. Just make sure everything is there before buying.
I'm 59 years old and I rediscovered boardgaming after being away for many years playing PC games.
I now have a gaming group that gets together for five or six hours on Fridays to play many of these games.
The new strategy games don't have dice and are great fun. Excellent products that have way surpassed games like MONOPOLY, RISK, etc.
Check out the top ranked games for each category on boardgamegeek.com and have fun!
So good ones we have that many may not have heard of
Dread Pirate
King Oil
Carrier Strike
et al....

Books "A stone hit her on the side of the head."
posted by June 26 at 16:31 PMon
On this day, 60 years ago, The New Yorker published "The Lottery," by Shirley Jackson.
People flipped the fuck outcancelled subscriptions, wrote bags of hate mail. The story was banned outright in South Africa and, according to Wikipedia, ranked seventeenth on Playboy's list of books most banned by public high schools in the U.S.
It's still one of my most vivid reading memories. I was sitting in a classroom in Lexington, Massachusetts (I must've been in fifth or sixth grade), in one of those old desks where the hard-plastic writing surface is attached to the chair by a metal bar on the right-hand side. The bar, for some reason, was always chilly.
It was reading time and, having brought nothing to read, pulled an oversized, hardback anthology of short stories off the shelf in the back of the classroom. I read it lazily, only halfway paying attention, until the last two paragraphs, which made me feel funny insidenauseated and a little afraid. I had, at that time, never read anything that had changed my emotional weather so quickly and thoroughly.
Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. "It isn`t fair," she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head. Old Man Warner was saying, "Come on, come on, everyone." Steve Adams was in the front of the crowd of villagers, with Mrs. Graves beside him.
"It isn't fair, it isn't right," Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were upon her.
Still making me feel funny, after all these years.
Happy birthday, "The Lottery."

I recently made the switch to a new server (Windows Server 2008, PLESK) and have realized that my includes in php do not work.
I've installed PEAR using command line and ensured that php.ini refers to the right folder for include_path. However, whenever I try to run 'pear' from command line I get the following errors:
The Procedure entry point mysql_server_end could not be located in the dynamic library link LIBMYSQL.dll
The program can't start because php_pdo.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
I've read up on the issue and checked that the extension_dir refers to the correct /ext folder and can confirm that php_pdo.dll is present so I'm absolutely stumped and have no idea how to proceed.
Has anyone encountered this kind of error before? How do I resolve this?

Trying to change the font size for the blog post titles - the site is http://climbingthefinancialmountain.com/
There are blog posts, which have not been published yet, but here is what the code looks like for that section

The Financial Boom

Here is my subtitle

I have tried editing the above section in style.css for entry-header and the font size will not change from where it is at.
The pages that are currently published on it are fine - I just need to change the actual blog posts' title font size.
Here is what I have edited under 'main content and comment content'
.entry-header .entry-title {
font-size: 28px;
font-size: 1.75rem;
line-height: 1.8;
font-weight: normal;
The font on the post title is definitely not 28px however.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated -

Lou Reed dies at 71, was lead singer of Velvet Underground
New York — Lou Reed, the great punk poet of rock 'n' roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, died Sunday. He was 71.
Reed died in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant, according to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, who added that Reed had been in frail health for months.

Bel Canto Chorus, MSO join for night of sacred music
The Bel Canto Chorus and Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra joined forces at Christ King Parish in Wauwatosa on Saturday for a colorful evening of two 20th-century sacred works.
Bel Canto music director Richard Hynson led the combined ensembles in thoughtful, moving performances of Duruflé's "Requiem," from 1947, and Poulenc's "Gloria," which premiered in 1961. »Read Full Article
Chris Tomlin shows his passion for Christian music
Chris Tomlin did the old "how many first timers? how many veterans?" audience poll at the start of his Milwaukee Theatre show Saturday night. Not surprisingly, the majority of cheers in the largely full theater were from the newbies. Tomlin's "Burning Lights," released in January, was just the fourth contemporary Christian music album ever to top the Billboard charts.
What's interesting is that, unlike fellow chart-topping Christian artist TobyMac, Tomlin went No. 1 while being far more explicit about God. Saturday's concert was even halted for a 40-minute sermon by Tomlin's pastor (and the head of his record label) Louie Giglio. »Read Full Article(4)

Joris Voorn plays the 15 Years of Ovum party at Shine at the Shelborne
There are interludes on Joris Voorn's latest major mix compilation, 2009's Balance 014, that are so momentous they might move you to tears. The two-disc set charges like a ghost train roaring out of the moors — its ethereal ambiance giving way to cirrus-level strings, its blunted calm opening up to boiling cauldrons of bass.
Given that his father is a classical composer, his mother a music teacher, and, as a child, Voorn practiced violin for an hour a day in the Dutch countryside, you could see how his musical storytelling might resonate with symphonic sensibilities, even if he has since moved on to traditionally nonsymphonic instruments.
The 32-year-old was born in Rotterdam, came of age in the Dutch town of Tilburg, and now resides in Amsterdam. As a teenager, he took apart radios and tried to make his own distortion units. In the mid-'90s, he was laughed at when he sought a now highly collectible '80s Roland TB-303 Bass Line machine. But when he was steered toward the purchase of a contemporary 303 redux, a Roland Groovebox, his parents began wondering about the then-19-year-old's priorities.
About the time he discovered 303s, Voorn won a local DJ competition, paired up with friend Edwin Oosterwal under the DJ duo name Rejected, and found success as a refined and melodic techno practitioner. By the mid-'00s, he was shaping remixes for noted labels such as BPitch Control, getting booked for DJ duties at the likes of Berlin's Tresor, and hearing his tracks played by none other than the late John Peel.

With his recent mixes, the spinner follows in the footsteps of British star DJ Sasha, who, along with techno luminary Richie Hawtin, pioneered the use of Ableton Live software for building mix-CDs; it allows tracks to be sliced, edited, and looped into the mix with the push of a button. Elements of eight or more songs can be played at one time — it's the revenge of the long tail, where the world's fringe music comes back together in dramatic fashion.
And despite these majestic aspirations, Voorn argues a DJ is still a journeyman, there to move you, top to bottom, in both the spinner's own empire and yours. "You can't make DJing too experimental," he says. "You're there for the people."

New Jersey Boardwalk Up in Flames
Seaside Heights suffered a six-alarm blaze.
The Seaside Heights boardwalk, which was badly damaged in Hurricane Sandy (remember the underwater roller coaster?), suffered a six-alarm fire this afternoon. The blaze reportedly started at Kohr's Frozen Custard and spread rapidly because of high winds. No injuries have been reported, but firefighters have struggled to get the flames under control.
"We're in trouble here," said Seaside Heights Police Chief Thomas Boyd. "We've got major problems."
