Plus, you can reduce waste by using the cow's hide to produce leather.
Unless you're vegan. Then you'll tell everyone to buy artificial leather instead. Because using plastics, and hence oil, to produce clothing is a much better idea than using cow hides...
Not trying to troll, here, but, as an European with limited understanding of American law, I need to ask: if states can just arbitrarily decide if they'll enforce them or not, isn't it kind of pointless to have federal laws?
Where do you live, to have 100 Amps in a single outlet? My entire apartment has a maximum of 30 A @ 220 V, and no single outlet can handle more than 10.
You're also going to get disappointed if you think getting 400 amps in a single cord is "simple".
I'm sorry, but a referendum for a 300+ page document that 90% of the population isn't going to be bothered to read, let alone understand, IS a joke on democracy.
As Rary mentioned, it only implies that I haven't coded Java for long. Incidentally, however, you are right. I'm still young.
As for the other languages you've mentioned, I've dabbed in most of them enough to find some problems. Here's what I've used and what I think about it:
C/C++: Outside of Java, the languages I've used the most extensively. The arguments for/against them have been discussed ad infinitum and are generally right, so there's nothing more to say.
Python: I like it. A lot. I've been wanting to do something serious with it for a while and I'll probably start at the end of this semester. The only things I didn't like were the colon at the beginning of each block (wasn't it supposed to just use the indentation, damnit?), and the fact that the same function can return values of wildly different types, though I think most developers will be sane enough not to actually do this, since it would be a pain to be checking for every single possibility at the end of every single function call.
PHP: great for Web development due to having the ability of being embedded in HTML, but migrating from ISP to ISP is a real pain, since all it takes to break code is the ISP not having compiled in something which you rely on. In an environment which you either control, or have meaningful influence in, it works great. I also don't like the "Let's throw everything into the core without a single namespace" philosophy.
Bash: Good, but it has problems outside its little bubble i.e. if you need it to do something you can't easily chain common commands for. Unless you code said commands, which you probably won't do in Bash. Of course, if you're writing the script just for yourself, you won't care if the commands aren't common.
I've barely looked at Ruby and Lisp, as I find the syntax to be rather offputting, much more so in the case of the latter, though I readily admit that this a rather lame argument.
I'm finally starting to adopt the following policy:
Use a really-high-level language for initial implementation.
Find better algorithms.
Implement in C/C++.
When one isn't satisfactory, I move down.
Of course, none of the above is dogma, just my personal experience.
Java's well organized, has a great standard library and is (mostly) consistent with itself. Its only problems, as far as I can see, was that it was initially slow and that it marketed itself as a web language, when there were better choices for that.
OK, now try to touch-type while you're doing something else and not looking at the screen. It's exactly the same reason why I don't like "smart" message writing (i.e. T9).

TCP provides a fair share per connection, not per person. Anyway, the real problem is ISPs overselling their network.
Waste = Food.
Well, I'm on Firefox 3 in Ubuntu and I still have the exact, same problems.
Razing people's houses never stopped China when building Olympic infrastructure.

Did you even read my post? The entire apartment runs on 220 V and it's a 30 amp box. Each outlet can handle 10 A.
Now, to be fair, I don't have any of those appliances (just a gas water heater, but that obviously doesn't count).
Sure, on a 400 (or even 200, since there's double the voltage) amp box charging is an hour or less... But the electric bill is a whole lot more, too!

Well... their crash tests are, in themselves, good arguments for their safety, at least in the case of the Smart.
The other argument is that small cars tend to handle better, so you're less likely to crash in the first place.
But then again, where I'm from a Corolla IS a full-sized vehicle.
Which means... it's pretty much like every imperative language on the planet?
Down! That's a bad sysadmin!
In your mention of the A2, you forget to mention... the car's fucking UGLY.
And in your mention of the smart, you forget to mention, among other things, that the Mk-1 smart's handling is a joke.
You know, you could just overtake the bike...
Ironically, low-cost flights in Europe oftentimes cost less than train fares.

People have already tried RTS on consoles and failed miserably. Why should this be different?
Ultimately, both the FPS and RTS genre are undoubtedly better on the PC. Why? The mouse is a superior controller in any of those genres. Plain simple.

Disclaimer: I've only coded in Java since 1.5.
That's what eMule's for.

That and there's also pretty much every sports game ever made, if you're into that.
Um... I think you mean a MOS transistor.
A CMOS logic circuit needs at least two transistors.
