cout += "Hello, there are" + 7 + " days in a week";
This piece of garbage just shows that you have no idea how the language works. You can't override operators for basic types. The above piece of code doesn't work, and never could be made to work.
LOL, if I show you how it can be made to work, will you publicly announce to all of slashdot that are preposterous little person who never lets his ignorance get in the way of his strong and unwavering opinions? Maybe a simple retraction that you don't know what the fuck you are talking about WRT C++?
Well he did give an example of an iterator, which is not math. And generic programming (yes, with math types and iterator types) would be pain in the ass without operator overloading. I don't see how operator overloading as a concept could bother any professional c++ developer for more than about 1 day. Seriously, it's just not that big of a deal. Sure, it's abuse, but what isn't. What's your story? Did operator overloading molest you as a child?
So it's you versus Bjarne now? What is you argument again? Some people (your humble self included) have more experience (not measured, supported, or in any way evidenced) so we're supposed to agree that you've made what particular point? That you're a jerk no one probably likes to work with? Or is that just your internet personality?
Consider that casts should be avoided, and when you need them, you should be careful and clear. If you don't know why, I probably can't help you, but consider these two issues:
Yeah, but, yeah, but, yeah, but. Jesus, you people will argue about anything. Only a shill would try to maintain that the two activities were comparable in scope, effect, and party endorsement.
I think most Christians believe in evolution, and also most Christians believe in young- or old- earth creation. . That's the great thing about religious people, they have no problem believing multiple things at once, even believing two contradicting ideas at once. For example, most their lives as if there is no supernatural intervention in their everyday affairs. At the same time, they believe that supernatural entities are controlling every aspect of their lives. To carry off this dichotomy, the theists has to believe in multiple contradictory world views at once. I think perhaps they don't consider the objective world view required for the former, rational behavior to be a belief, but there its is.
You make some good points, however, you give the impression that "dying for your country" is a nobility exclusive to Muslim thought. Our volunteer military is built on the tradition of self sacrifice - the soldier's idea that his potential death can serve the greater good. The Extremist Muslim suicide bomber is just the point-man in a much larger operation in which most people don't die. Just like western military structures. You make a distinction between our cultures that does not exist.
You are right that MAD does not work without identification of the combatant and the potential, selective, and total extermination of the same. A war against "terrorism" is an insufficient identification of enemy combatants. Nation State works after a fasion, as does racial or religious genocide, neither of which:
- preserves the lives of innocents
- is a commitment the American people are willing to make
He did you tool. But leaving aside for a moment your stellar reading comprehension skills, let's talk about your "America, love it or leave it" message. The message sucks and it's stupid because it clearly omits a third, apparent, important, and topical option: "fix it".
If "America, love it or leave it" was really the full and complete menu, then the country would really suck. Fortunately, that's not the country we live in.
"one important trick". One. I've only seen one Moore, film, and while clearly "biased", I found the film to be funny as hell. Certainly entertainment is another "important trick".
True enough. My beef (there's one!) is mainy that "I never looked back" doesn't seems very established like "I've got your back", and since it is rather new (and also stupid), I choose to fight it with my rhetoric at every opportunity.
Thanks for the English lesson by the way, it was the cat's meow!!!!
Off-topic advice: Never trust the opinion of someone who "never looked back". When did the phrase "I never looked back" become a way to endorse a product? To me, it only says something about the objectivity of the reviewer, e.g. "I joined the Heaven's Gate cult and I never looked back!!!!".
People who say Bush "lied" have no concept about what it means. Clinton LIED under oath. That is what got him in trouble with most people and not Lewinsky.
No, actually what got Clinton in trouble was having a Congress held by a Repulbican majority. Bush has the luxury of not having to answer to congress; His congress seems to be filled with people intent on abdicating their constitutional powers and allowing the Executive any expansion of power it wishes. Partisan politics and a Republican hat-trick on the hill ensures there will be no accountability in Washington except for the most comically outrageous offenses.
There's a big difference between saying "no I did not have relations with this woman" while knowing you did, and saying "I swear to uphold the constitution",
Yeah, wow, there is a differnece, one matters and the other doesn't. Seriously, upholding the constitution is presidential-job #1, and if he can't do it, acciedently or intentionally, he's unfit for office. Keeping your dick in your pants is presidential-job #403.

1. clarity
2. grep-ability
Don't you mean "nanoscopically fine rust powder"?
Thank you, Ayn.
Nit: Java is cross-platform, Moneydance only runs on one platform (Java).
You can now go back to your yeah-buts.
HTH

Why don't you two cowards get a room?

Oh my god, it's full of stars!

There is only a hole if you believe that personal responsibility alone is sufficient for justice. Only a fool would think that.
Wow, I think you missed the self-deprecating, mildy-ironic joke of the grandparent's post. How much do you weigh, by the way?
Sounds like you might be a Jackass?
