You and I have a different definition of "near". You claimed that someplace in Montana was near some other place. More interestingly, you claimed that someplace in MT was near someplace not in MT. Perhaps you need to review the muppet meat sketch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKeXb0SCr1w
The #1 selling point of bigger government has been *roads* and other infrastructure (schools, electricity, water, sewer, police, fire) and when the economy sours those legitimate services are the first things the public are threatened with losing so as to pass larger taxes. It's a false choice; the correct choice is to cut waste in government which means cutting employees from middle management and "would be nice" departments like parks and rec. But its always core services that are threatened by government.
Instead of downgrading to gravel roads which have to be replenished more often, especially under heavy traffic, I propose we use the stimulus to build Roman roads. Those have lasted millennia. Of course, I also think the stimulus is counterproductive.
i don't think you've proved you case, but even your unproven assertions are... reaching at their best. you also ignore our current trajectory towards a king who may eventually not deign to leave when someone else is elected. that whole power corrupting thing again.
i want the power of government to be very decentralized and mutually skeptical. in short, the underrated value of having tiered government is that it can be used to enhance checks and balances so that the system remains stable.
i'm sorry, but both bush and obama look like they're devoted to nothing more than throwing the rule of law off the bus.
just like i willfully put internet exploder on my windows box?
which isn't to say i'm totally against the idea, but given the typical care marketers (especially telco ones) put into their distribution deals i'm a bit skeptical it'll all be roses.
yeah, but with the network owners "competing" with Steam, they get to use network non-neutrality to give them a competitive advantage. So the idiotic pricing will seem totally worth it because their content gets to you faster and with fewer dropped packets than Steam's. Telco executives are teh awesome.
matlab is an interpreted language, and thus is slow as hell. you must've meant syntactically, but even there while i despise matlab, it is better than fortran.
Apparently the interwebs like to leave little droppings in our puters. we call them cache.
additionally, say you take an RSS feed or have a usenet scraping script for say, comp.lang.python, and some jackass / police sting operation decides to put "illegal images" on that group? your script automagically grabs them and viola you're guilty.

You say its safe? Great! I'll meet you in Barry Farms in Anacostia, Washington, DC at, say 9:30pm.
But Baltimore has Natty Boh, the best cheap beer in the world.

this sounds suspiciously like an evil and vapid SGI. (IRIX to RedHat/SUSE outsourcing)

drdos was also teh awesome...
15-20 years ago...
when it was made by Digital Research, hence the DR in DRDOS.
SCO have products? when did this happen? i thought all they did was patent troll.
i think it'd be great for a state to coin some silver and gold money. might help keep the fed more honest.
and it'd lead to a legitimate constitutional challenge to the legal tender laws.
There, fixt that for you.

also, Gibson's latest featured some of this sort of thing iirc.

not end of lifed yet.
but it's close to EoL judging by the small number of comments on this thread.
What happens to TextRunner once it is slashdotted?

troll, huh? was it also troll when i griped about W naming National Airport after Regan or the CIA HQ after his dad?
i think not. i just don't like naming stuff (especially publicly owned stuff) after people who aren't dead.
if you go with Gore, the next thing you know, he'll have invented "elements". it'll get way out of hand.
i wish, but it'll prolly be named Obamium.
in order to get meaningful speed increases out of Fortran versus C you need to know many of the same things so that you can code mindful of them.
Yes, everything should be written in a fresh, clean language.
I nominate VBScript.
matlab is an interpreted language, and thus is slow as hell. you must've meant syntactically, but even there while i despise matlab, it is better than fortran.
so is machine/assembler code, but you don't see nearly the advocacy for it.
