I'll STILL defend FORTRAN as a scientific platform. I have used it for astrophysical simulations and all sorts of scientific modelling within the past few years and it is the one language that both my (physics) profs and I were able to debug at the same time. If you're crunching tons of numbers, need exploit parallelism in your programs, and be able to show your work to a physicist all on an open-source platform, I think FORTRAN is still the way to go.
Ban lawyers from holding political office?? Of course! It makes perfect sense to stop those who spend years studying law from actually making laws. That would be like outlawing doctors from doing medical research. I for one like the idea that most of the people creating and managing our laws are people who are actually certified to do so.

You made my day, sir. If only I had some mods! Instead, I guess I'll have to name my firstborn "Coctothorpe".
According to NBC, the details were uncovered by "a US computer expert"

Jupiter should really get that looked at, it seems to have metastasized. Yikes.

I would suggest hitting the ATM instead of the ATM machine. I hear those things can be a pain to carry around.
