Sorry for bursting your bubble, but Soviet occupation of Afghanistan is not a thing to be stating in this case. A) The mujaheddin were supported and funded by US and allies, and till supported were of little resistance to Soviet forces B) Still the Soviet forces were in control of most of the area of Afghanistan.
But in reality, resistance may be, but successful defense is not possible and never documented in modern warfare history.
>> I have never, ever run into a compilation issue because of whitespace.
The problem there is not limited to compilation issues, but rather like the unintended fallthrough in a switch-case statement because you forgot to add break.
For 8 years of Java development these: "how many times have you run into a NullPointerException in Java? Or ran into a race condition when dealing with threads? Or not properly sanitized user data? Data processing loops overrunning?"
Except for rare NullPointerExceptions, had little problems with any of those... if any at all.
But you are saying that I cannot have a nuclear fission reactor in my basement... in a house next to yours....
We live in times when you cannot possibly know everything, so sometimes we have to collectively "ban" something. You know for the idiot's benefit.(unlike it would be the first time....)
Yeah... And hospitals treat you for free... Therefore negating your choice when you are in dire need.
You should understand that there is a thing called society, and obese people still have an effect on your bills.
In public system, you give up your money in good hope that when you get ill you will receive help... So far the system that I live in has done so quite well, not perfect.
And FYI our post soviet system is the last thing politicians take a snipe at, that should mean something at least.
FYI: The PHB that you are talking about IS in the same industry as you. The most important part is for the leader to understand that leading is a skill and its based on ability to listen to experts and select the right experts to listen to. Having your own opinion is not a really positive thing.

That is only true about common legal system. Somehow countries with civil legal system have understandable laws and have little oversight.
>I would patent the placement of pineapple on pizza
Oh, I wish that someone would patent the pizza in US, and forbid any PINEAPPLE topping pizza... Probably force US pizza makers to bake the real stuff... Not the heart attack pill.
FYI: Ruby is STRONGLY typed. You cant append a number to a string unless you convert that number to a string. Languages like PHP or Perl allow you to treat anything like anything, thus are weakly typed.
Check differences between strong/weak typing vs static/dynamic typing.
>> Well, when they come for you, what are you going to do?
They already came and took you away and you kept quiet.
Man... Mass media will help you keep quiet for any reason... Remember the total outcry on the invasion of Iraq? Or was it in my dreams that "free and independent" media would report objectively. That is the reality today...
FYI: It's not the 1700's. And if someone organizes a revolution I would bet that your lil' gun won't help in any way. Even if you organize yourselves....
Estonians got it right. They still have compulsory military service. A lot of men there belong to their Defense League and have AK-47's at home. While handguns still require special license, because those may be concealed, as opposed to AK-47 Guess how many house robberies there are in Estonia?
>> Afghanistan (Soviet Era): RPGs, small arms; Since when is AK-47 Assault Rifle is "small arms"? Therefore US should allow to keep M4's or M16's at home for protection, and disallow handguns. And major positive is that it's not that easy to conceal an M4 or M16.

Cant you taste the problem with those 2 statements? Second one negates the first one on Linux point. Linux can and does work well in a corporate environment. Centrally managing huge server farms, pushing updates and son on and so forth... Can be done with Linux.

Hm.... We migrated from 1.4 to 1.5 over 10 minutes, it took to install JRE 1.5 . The ONLY real problem, is to force the developers to actually use Java 5 features....
I would argue on expressiveness. Main thing that Ruby does is bring in possibility to do DSL(and those ARE ALWAYS EXPRESSIVE) - log_changes is a method that changes that class, you can write your own if you want. So that "expressiveness" comes from a lot of features, that you might not even understand. And that expressiveness is not a feature of the language, it's the outcome of having those features.
On a side note, Ruby may be as expressive as Java. I would support that Ruby is an expressive language if Ruby enforced those expressiveness features(like log_changes in GP).
Wow... Just... WOW... Judging based on video processing is the worst you could do. You know that those things are not created for video processing, don't you? And usually video processing is one of benchmarks for high end processors that like to have 700W PSU on their side:)
If you bear consequences I consider that "no choice". It's like saying that a person in N.Korea "has a choice" to protest against the regime there... problem is we know that he'll most probably get killed pretty fast the easy(bullet in the head) or the hard way(torture and labor camp). So I consider your notion of choice pure IT specialists... a technical one.
But effective censorship DOES work. I am talking about unofficial censorship. US claims to have free speech, but there are a lot of issues that are covered up to have "a consistent view". US based media is the most to blame.
