But, despite the bleeting of those damned grammer nazis, those typos back there hardly change the meaning of the sentence in any meaningful way, anybody with half a mind knows what I just said.
Yes, and despite the bleating of the compiler warnings, the typos in your code will lead to correctly functioning programs. I'm sorry, but quality is quality.
LOL that's really funny, or would be if it wasn't also so sad. There's no "war" there is just conquest of resources by a foreign aggressor, with a little propaganda to make it look like they weren't the aggressor.
Yes, of course dogs can sense the attitudes of their owners, and owners will subconsciously give their dogs extra encouragement when they expect them to get better (which is why real medical studies are double-blind wherever possible).
But how can you do a double-blind experiment on a domesticated canine? If it has bonded with the owner, depriving it of the owner might lead to depressive symptoms...
I mean how would you feel if at work your employer wanted to watch you all the time?
Seriously? I would welcome it. I don't waste any time at work on Facebook, Slashdot, or other non-work-related activities. Yes, I field calls from businesses which I must deal with which are only open during business hours which my employer agrees with (accountant, attorney, banks, etc). But I make them quick and to the point. I would welcome my employer watching me 8/5 (i.e., business hours, not 24/7). I would certainly welcome the comparison between my productivity and that of the drooling, but politically competent, morons.
I think the rule should be that ALL laws are applied in order of their severity at all times.
I think your thinking will lead to Skynet. Seriously: we will need machines to monitor all human interactions (and solitary interactions, I mean, in some places masturbation is a crime), and those machines will not ever give any leeway. That combined with the understanding that we all commit, according to the book, "Three Felonies a Day" and we will all be ground up into unvoting citizens in short order. The machines will win, and the only solace we have is that they will take our meatbag overlords with us.
And civilians are always protected - and if someone is not clearly a combatant (i.e. either they wear uniform, or carry guns, or perform a hostile action towards you), then they are to be considered civilians.
I am reminded of a short-lived series, "Over There", about our foreign war (I think it was Afghanistan, but it may have been after we attacked Iraq without provocation). There was an episode where a local had a house which had a bunch of money hidden in the walls, and the Americans infiltrated and took the money. The owner came home, and started shooting at the thieves, only the thieves had much bigger weapons than the owner and killed him. That was the turning point for me.

I agree completely. Not all coders understand that they are communicating to two (perhaps more) completely separate audiences.

Start believing in a higher power?
All BMWs are cars, but not all cars are BMWs.
Amusing that a movie about pirates would be the most pirated, and also the highest grossing. Way to spread the message, MPAA! :)
SNL? I thought The Muppet Show did it first ("Piiiiiigs iiiiiin Spaaaace!")
Thank you for that disturbing mental image. :)
Pictures anywhere? Name of business? I really want to see this before it hits its head on a bullet.

Now I understand why posters so often the verb: overzealous ^Wing.

Agreed: tagged "wastingmoremoney"
Either it would be the brown noise, or it would piss off dogs...
Wanna bet they'll continue to be allowed to drive silent vehicles, and we won't be able to?
The private establishment was not privately linked to the place you will sleep it off, is what I meant. But then, I tend towards ambiguity. :)
Like being raided by the FBI, or DHS, or KGB, or whatever?
So leaving the verb out of acronyms is now in style as well? Damn my lawn is getting bigger...
The police are to be monitored 24/7.

You are my hero. I've only so far rejected my asshole brother.
Stop drinking in public.

I recently read "Three Felonies a Day" and agree with your assessment.
You seem to be devolving the later it got last night.
