Probably the only thing keeping this from being abused is that it's the government, it's a low-value target, and they're paying millions upon millions for someone to support this trainwreck with security patches.


Of course - obscure as it gets, session state based navigation and top of it off with username/password form over unencrypted HTTP.


I apologize that you (or anyone else) are offended -- I didn't intend my comment to have anything to do with rape, or to imply anything.

We were discussing the definition of a "genius" and I was trying to point out a problem with the definition proposed. I feel that's perfectly in line with the "narrative".

Any number of unacceptable labels/behaviors could have been used as an example here.


Thank you for the clarity.

I actually knew what you meant and probably the other person did as well.

It did come off a bit harsh, that was my only point and I don't think think it was offensive but it seemed like it was conflating two very different things that should have no "nearest neighbor search" with each other.

Yes, definitely agree on the last point.

What makes a genius -> My personal experience -> Rape.

Not a good flow at all :)


The problem is that definition just as easily applies to an unapologetic convicted rapist.
