Now, if something really bad was to happen to the US, they would need to get them young folks away from their internet porn activities, and onto the front lines.
If "something bad" happened to the government, I'd shrug and say "not my fucking problem". Those politicians and bureaucrats are no friends of mine, so they can lick my sweaty taint.
I find your lack of cynicism disturbing. For all your talk about forming a better "third party", you forget a fundamental truth about government: government is kindergarten morality applied to a society. The only power a government has is the power to say to individuals subject to it, "Do what you're told or we'll kick your fucking ass."
The only problem you've illustrated is that the nutters never assassinate the politicians who actually deserve a bullet in the fucking head. As for the road to stricter control: we're on that road already. The natural course of all governments is towards totalitarianism by any means available and any means necessary.
But the bigger problem is that HTML has effectively been abandoned to four companies: Apple, Google, Opera, and Mozilla. They are deciding the actual fate of HTML, not a truly independent standards process.
I'm just grateful that Microsoft isn't deciding the fate of HTML. Mozilla, at least, is a FOSS outfit. Google is a big enough corporation to counterbalance Apple, and Google hasn't proven inimical to FOSS yet. Apple hasn't been much for embracing/extending/extinguishing open standards, and Opera is too small and too European to do any real harm.
Personally, I think Square started its decline after Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was such a bomb at the box office that Hironobu Sakaguchi was made the fall guy and forced out of the company.
There's legitimate reasons why employees at a startup would need to put in tons of hours until things get up to speed.
Not from a working programmer's perspective. If you work more than 40 hours a week and all you're getting is a salary or a salary and stock options, then you are working for free like a sucker.
Long answer: You misbegotten son of a syphilitic bitch, how dare you expect me to put aside my life to help salvage a company that you ran into the fucking ground?!
Exactly. I had a guy pull this shit. I just looked at him and asked. "Are you serious?" He insisted that he was, so I told him that he'd have my resignation by 5.
Well, there's the part where you imply criticizing all government regulation is wrong or a bad thing. It's not like we elect the best and brightest to public office; we just elect the ones with the best soundbites. I trust American politicians as far as I can throw them, and that isn't every far even if I cheat and use a trebuchet.

Did you get the idea that I might be trolling out of a Cracker Jack box?

I'm a New Yorker, not a European. As for the insinuation about my sexual proclivities: this dick isn't going to suck itself, so make yourself useful.

Every time I pay attention to American politics, I find myself thinking that Lee Harvey Oswald had the right idea.

I'd be happy to, but a single angry man with a gun isn't a revolutionary.
I need to take a shit.

They did this before with Final Fantasy X-2. I referred to that as Final Fantasy X, part 2, and will refer to Final Fantasy XIII-2 in the same manner.
But I've never smoked weed.
No wonder I feel stoned after spending a couple of hours listening to the Blue Öyster Cult.
Their best album, even after 23 years. :)
Have these people been dipping into my stash again?
I pulled an all nighter last year, and ended up nuking a "production" database that the DBA didn't configure for automatic backups at 6:30am.

Kill him. That's all you'll have to do. He's a risk. And get the priest as well.
Short answer: No.

Stock options aren't legal tender. A programmer can't pay the rent with that shit.

I assume you can throw a good deal farther than I can shove.
I throw like a girl, so no.

In which bizarro plane of the Multiverse did Ayn Rand grow up under FDR instead of the Bolsheviks?
In World War II, men could be enslaved and forced to fight.
