 USS Clueless - Negotiations
There is one other way in which war differs: among sticks, it is the only one which actually permits you to unilaterally "solve" the diplomatic problem that faces you, without cooperation from the other side (and even despite his best efforts to the contrary).
But even when war is an adjunct to diplomacy rather than a solution where diplomacy has broken down, it is often necessary to do truly horrific things, or at least to be prepared to do them.
In my discussion here, I used the term "war" in a more generic way; in this post I have substituted the word "stick" for that concept.

In the last three years the open-source community has made enormous strides in simplifying installation and normal housekeeping and presenting it through graphical user interfaces — to the point where it’s really quite a bit easier over time to maintain a Linux box than a Windows machine, whether you’re an expert techie or not.

 The Forgotten Rebels Official Website
[Ed— the Pointed Sticks are generally regarded as one of Canada’s great punk bands from the ’70s.] The Pointed Sticks sounded in the ’70s very much like what Green Day sounded like in the late ’90s.” This ability to appreciate music that some punks may consider sacrilegious should surprise no one.
De Sadist points out that the band’s most notorious song, “Bomb the Boats” — which concerns the cringe—inducing subject matter of bombing boats with immigrants aboard — was actually a satire on a conversation he overheard between two racist rednecks.
That goes to show you, you give a suit some responsible and they’ll screw it up.” And when the record labels did smarten up and discovered that there was a new and exciting rock’n’roll scene going on they ended up doing more harm then good.
