Of course, to end habeas corpus, you have to have Congress do it. Lincoln declared it on his own authority, a power not proscribed to him. The war also saw the imposition of an income tax, which was then unconstitutional, and the expulsion of many secessionists or advocates of peace in the North to Canada. Similar things went down in the Confederacy, and both sides ran terrible POW camps.
There was no declaration of war at any point during the North; to do so would be to declare that the South was, in fact, a separate entity. Lincoln et al had no intention to do that.
Some algorithms are better suited for some languages or paradigms than others. Quicksort, for example, relies on mutability to be efficient. A language like Haskell, where the list to be sorted would be recreated a bunch of times, would not be well suited. Even with the same algorithm, it would run slower. Sometimes the language dictates the algorithm that would be best to use, or what data structures make sense. That said, I think I would have to recommend, of the languages listed, Python because of its general reputation for being easy to learn. Plus, it has decent support for several paradigms. Want to be OO? Cool. Want to functional? We can do that too. It opens the mind to more ways of thinking about a problem than more single paradigm languages, and that can be very useful in this sort of contest.
People cross the border in both directions for medical care all the time, both those pro- and con socialized medicine. I would like to know how many people do this sort of thing.
It matters little what the FCC does or does not do, IMO, but what localities do. In some cases they offer monopolies to ISPs and cable cos just so that they can get them in the area. My own town has the same silliness, and they have stalled getting FiOS in the area for some time now. I also wonder if other countries had the same evil phone monopoly that we had in the US, and if we have simply not recovered from the effects of that yet.
The app I use on my jailbroken iPhone lets me see exactly what is running and close it, so if they have similar functionality to this app, they could make it very easy to avoid that problem.
This is why I jailbroke the thing in the first place (well, that, and a few other things): multitasking for everything, not just Apple's apps. For some time now, I have been able to listen to music and browse the web, text, chat, etc. by just switching apps. It works fairly decently, too, and doesn't make it very slow. I am simply amazed they decided this was a proper limitation.
Unfortunately for your quick dismissal, there were reasons that they made the switch; they wanted to maintain a balance of power, they were threatened with a greater common enemy, etc. In game, none of this makes any sense whatsoever. If the game AI was running the world, there would be almost constant warfare in every last corner of the globe for the great offense of being neighbors. Estonia would be waging an aggressive war of conquest against Russia, and despite having no money, no army, and their last province under siege, they would refuse a white peace with the far more powerful Russians. In fact, the offer of peace would insult them, and they would be more determined to be conquered in a futile war.
That is how it works in the latest incarnation of the TW series. Worse, the factions have little in the way of differences in terms of units (save for the differences between the Western nations and the Marathas and Ottomans), and you only really get infantry that changes your tactics late in the game. The older games have more faction differences such that the battles don't get very old fast, and you mostly want to focus on battles anyways. I mean, you encounter chariots as the Romans for the first time, and you wonder what you have to do to win. You do the same when you fight the Greeks, the Easterners with the heavy cavalry, and so on. You then change factions and have to learn and grow again. In ETW, there's not much of that.
Except the campaign map AI is most retarded in the Total War series. You can be allies for centuries, fighting side by side in war after war, but as soon as you border one another, they will betray you for no reason, even if you are a globe spanning empire and they are but a single province nation that you helped keep alive. They also tend to build rather silly armies that make little sense when put together. The AI is even worse in the latest game, Empire; it's so bad that, until a patch, the AI could not invade over oceans, so you could never lose as Great Britain. Let's not even get to the fact that France is a two province nation that can be taken in just a few turns and totally destroyed, or the battle AI. If you want Total War games, go for Rome or Medieval II (or even before either of the two, if you like older games). Those also have excellent mods (which Empire does not; no one has even figured out how to add a province to the map yet).
Please define "proper morals" without referring to the writings of men who died thousands of years ago in a poor, primitive, and relatively unimportant society who thought a sky man could talk to them.
In other words, you want to dictate what people can and cannot do, because you claim it is irrational for them to engage in non-harmful relationships that have no affect on your own life. If I want to marry my phone, what harm does it do you? None. Well, almost none: those Zach-phone-lizard crossbred zombie creatures may have some repercussions on your life, but I assure you they will be small.
If their punishment is too short, then extend the sentences. If the jails are too crowded, stop sending non-violent people there for the "crime" of ingesting non-state approved substances. Otherwise, stop condemning people to a lifetime of harassment by vigilantes. This goes for sex offenders and for this new animal abuse registry. If none of this persuades you, then perhaps you should consider: a)there are those who are convicted that are innocent (and are exonerated later) b)what makes it onto the registry is determined by politicians and judges, who will add things such as drunk men urinating in public to the sex offender list. Who is to say the same cannot happen for animal abuse?
I would say that it is an attempt to diversify their offerings, in the event that Windows and/or Office ever fail. They will not be around or dominant forever, and surely they must recognize this. I think this is why they are going after the video game market, MP3 players, search, and all sorts of odds and ends. As these ventures turn profits, they will have more and more of a safety net to fall back on. One day they will fall from power, but they need not be totally destroyed.
CoD 1 with the expansion is still my favorite FPS of all time. The graphics were bad, but online play was very good if you found the right server and/or map. The Barbarossa map was my favorite; it was well balanced, huge, and had plenty of places to hide and engage in actual tactics. It had artillery that could be fired across the map by skilled players, attacking enemy bunkers and making things interesting. It had all the sniper action you could want. What's more, it had tanks, and lots of them. There's nothing like going over a hill to find 5 or 6 German tanks gunning for you. CoD 2 sucked, mostly because of the new health system. It makes no sense for you to just be able to hide and basically regenerate your shields every time you get hurt. That killed any sense of realism for me. Plus, they took away the vehicles they had in CoD 1.
Why should the cops have any moral superiority? There are numerous cases of police beatings, ridiculous charges, and general abuse by the cops. There are also the cases of people who have been accused of crimes and, after being locked away for decades, been exonerated through new evidence (or even just allowing the already existing evidence to be put forth). Any group with such power over people should never feel that it is morally above anyone else.
Somalia was a hell hole before and after it had no government. Since it hasn't had one, it has had all kinds of foreign interventions into the area to impose some government over them, which, as we all know, is excellent for promoting growth. In any case, their GDP has grown since the collapse of the communist dictatorship (though, IIRC, it has been below average), and they actually have one of the better telecom networks in Africa (which is very surprising, given the various wars and such).

I admit it was a bad list, but there are plenty of other apps that I have that I run in the background quite a bit.
