Wow. You linked to some muslims condemning the attacks. Well done, that must mean most Muslims condemn the attacks, if you are gullible of course. Talking of gullible, did you know the word 'Gullible' was removed from the Oxford English Dictionary last year?

Pathetic response which only illustrates that you count nothing as evidence against your pet prejudice and further undermines your own credibility. How many would it take then? Clearly the leaders of the majority of Muslims in the UK is not enough for you. Perhaps we should intern the lot until they've sworn an affadavit of condemnation. I'm sure the poor bastard that's just got back after 9 years in Guantanamo without trial would be delighted to be the first to volunteer himself to be taken into custody. Clearly you think the law should be rewritten to presume guilt until proof of innocence where Muslims are concerned. Shouldn't be a problem.
When the IRA was active did you complain that all Catholics were terrorists? When The Red Brigade was blowing up people on a regular basis did you call for a ban on Italians (given that they were already all Mafioso anyway)? What about the Angry Brigade? Does that mean all Brits think bombing's great? Perhaps we should all be deported to lessen the threat?

The majority of those condemnations only came after the Government pointed out Muslims leaders were not doing enough to condone it. If you think there are those that carry out the attacks and those that are dead against it, and that's it, nothing in bwtween, then you are sorely mistaken. It's not that Black & White.

Typical Liberal response. Make out the person said something they didn't and then argue about it.

So I said most (admittadley I should have said many) but you make out I said all. See my point above about changing what was said.

I once read that once you get more than 10% muslim population your country is screwed, I am yet to see anything that disproves that!

A lot of us are screwed then.

If you can name me a country that isn't screwed whatever its Muslim population then I might give some credence to this utterly ludicrous nonsense. In many of the most seriously screwed countries such as Zimbabwe or Haiti there's hardly a Muslim in sight. Your correlation fails!

What I said was if your country HAS 10%+ muslim then you are screwed.
What I did NOT say was that if your country is screwed you have 10%+ mulsims.
I return the challenge - name me a country with > 10% muslim population that you do not think has problems with radicalisation.
And this belongs in the SoapBox from here on!

Where is the problem? At least all people are safe on ground... except the other story which happens at the moment in Paris, but this is not a W3.1 problem ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) .
I don't like to know how many AS400 system are still in operation for much more critical tasks. Ok AS400 is an OS while 3.1 is a ?

Well, apparently only two people in Paris will be able to troubleshoot issues soon and they had a problem last week...
I'm also pretty sure Microsoft doesn't support 3.1 anymore 
So I guess there isn't a problem until there is a problem.
I'm just amazed that 3.1 is still in use.
Well, not really amazed, as COBOL and such are also still very much in use.
But still... Reading about it makes me giggle

Wait another 30 years, you will see, same will be repeated with .whatever.net x.y instead of W3.1

We still have some control system running DOS software with WfW 3.11 on 486 based PCs (so they are from the mid 90's) and some running Windows sofware with NT4.
If one of the system dies I replace it with a spare system (usually also a 486 or an early Pentium) or just replace the hard disk if that is defective. Each time when that happens (actually about every two years) I have to remember how to install WfW. Therefore I wrote a short HOWTO some years ago and copied the installation disks to a CD-ROM.
The spare systems has been used as normal desktop systems many years ago and has been rescued by me. It is always astonishing how long these old system are working because they are often running for multiple weeks without being switched off. Main failure reasons are the hard disks.
I always thought it would be difficult to find a job when becoming older. But it seems that people like me are rare specialist for such old systems nowadays.

Not surprised at all - they are mechanical components, and once bearings start to wear...
Power supplies also age badly in my experience.

I have still two of this 486 in screed (I'm collector, my miss says). You can have them for free, says miss

No thanks. I have enough (still one 486 and 3 Pentium) and may also use newer systems as long as they are 32-bit.

And on last resort, you can even virtualise it.

Just downloaded VS 2015 community edition.
A whopping 10.4 GB !!
In the articles I saw, it was mentioned as 4.7 GB total.
Nowhere near that estimate

Hmm. Makes we wonder. I installed enterprise using offline iso at 3.82GB.

I know what it means, but "offline download" just sounds really funny.
