In IE if you click the down arrow on the right side of the address bar, there are icons for the other installed search engines and an "Add" button to add new search engines.

You're correct that the link was to an old article from 2014. However, I believe N_tro_P likely intended to link to this source, published yesterday, April 13, 2017, also by Theodore A. Postol. The other link probably has a higher search engine ranking so it would be an easy-enough mistake. Sometimes searches really are so hard. http://www.unz.com/article/the-nerve-agent-attack-in-khan-shaykhun-syria/ In any event, your analysis is overly simplistic. There are plenty of reasons that other parties would want to stage a chemical weapons attack. Here's just one line of thought from a rebel perspective. The Syrian government is currently winning the war against the rebels. Internationally, there are a number of external powers that are unfriendly to the Syrian government who have shown interest in military intervention in the past (chiefly the United States, Israel and various Western European countries). The rebels carry out false-flag chemical weapons attacks and blame the Syrian government in order to garner international sympathy and--if they're lucky--military intervention against the Syrian government. Even if it doesn't work out, they have little to lose, since without foreign intervention against Syria, they would be eventually eliminated by Syria and its allies anyway. It might be hard to imagine that rebels would gas people on their own side, but bear in mind that the Syrian rebels are Wahabist radicals who believe that suicide terrorist attacks are a one-way ticket to heaven and generally do not value human life in the same way that we do. The Syrian conflict is very complicated. The fact that so many different foreign powers are so interested in Syria should make that clear. Be cautious about jumping to any hasty conclusions. I doubt anyone on this board is competent to say with certainty who carried out the chemical attack or their motivations.

I'm not the OP so I have no knowledge of the actual code. That was just a stupid joke on my part.

public bool IsEmpty
{
get {
try {
return _filters.IsEmpty();
}
catch (NullReferenceException e)
{
InstantiateFilters();
throw new NullReferenceException("Try it again now please.");
}
}
}

Crikey!

Could you clarify what you mean by "it's for Win8+ only?" MS lists Windows 7 under supported operating systems for VS 2017. Visual Studio 2017 System Requirements[^]
