See how this works?

Not quite. My opinions aren't a secret IRL. I am surrounded by like minded individuals and am not afraid to voice my ideas freely.

There is a serious difference in the way I approach weapons training/survival and the way my ideological opponents do. So I am not that concerned.

But this is not the point. The point is, people will rebel if you put them into a corner.

If we ever come to live in such a dystopian society I'm going to use our new found peeping power to mark political enemies and remove them all in a night of the long knives stile ordeal then overthrow the government and burn everything to the ground.

Another highly annoying example of good ideas just not finished properly is trying to use multiple virtual desktops on multiple monitors. For some reason switching the virtual destkots switches to the new desktop for ALL physical monitors. Just why...

The devs have also STILL not figured out how to give a simple and easy way to move windows from one monitor to another from the alt-tab menu.

You know what happens in the real world? That person exits through the door, finds enough people like him outside and gets into political power, then proceeds to show the door to the smug stickman.

There's an enormous gap between knowing the specs of a pump and knowing which company will make one that won't break and will provide decent service for it.

With a few fast and hard rules mostly based on country of origin and price you can go a long way( specifically talking about water pumps ).

What I want to know is: Is there some kind of mode of attack we can use, such that when the bacteria develop a resistance to it, in order to have the resistance they must necessarily become vulnerable to something else.

If you have two or three of these things which are mutually linked. The bacteria can become resistant to one but will become vulnerable to the other.

I am however not a biologist, just a developer, so please excuse me if I am mistaken.

Is such a thing even possible? Is some one working on something like this?

Isn't this something you don't want? I'd rather use an algo which is painful to do in bulk.

In my opinion (and I welcome disagreement and debate) engineers have an obligation to say 'no' to wiring unethical code.

I respectfully disagree. Engineers have an obligation to do whatever is asked of them by management. If that means building nuke-hand-grenades so be it.

Being an engineer( be it software or mechanics ) should be a morally neutral thing. Do the job and keep your morals out of it. This is the only way we can have some semblance of sanity in the field.

How about this,

I don't bother with mailing lists, and when I post an "issue" on the site, the system mails you on your preferred mailing list. Then You reply to the mail with your preffered client and it shows up for me in the issue thread on github?
