Sometimes familiarity breeds contempt. But if you know nothing about other cultures, you can easily project onto them any sugarcoated fantasy that suits you. Tolerance is easy when there's nobody bothering you.
The Internet brings people together who are best kept separated.
If you haven't got access to the source, you cna't possible know how to fix something. You can only point out a problem or deficiency in the bahavior of the software.
I don't have a problem with protesters being obnoxious. I have a problem with them being clueless. I have a problem with them being phony seekers of attention. But I have no problem at all with them being obnoxious when that's what's called for.
And quit dissin' the American Revolution. It worked, mostly.
1) It was inspired by the poem Hiawatha, which has a wawa in it.
2) It was inspired by that Peter Frampton bit with the harmonica and the vocoder. Wa... wawawawa wa... wa WA wawa, wa wawa...
Here's what I'd do: make it against the law to be poor. Revive the old vagrancy statutes and make them federal regulations. Bulldoze the trailer parks. Dynamite the housing projects. Deport all the immigrants, and don't let `em back in until they get their finances together. Build more debtor prisons.
Well, it makes more sense than any other plan I've heard.
Talk about doubletalk. Morality is all about interacting with others according to principles that transcend the self. This is the very opposite of selfishness.
Of course, a lot of people profess self serving moral codes. But at least they try to hide their motive. Objectivism takes a different approach to the needed obfuscation: it conflates morality with selfishness.
Thank you for stating the obvious.

No, really. Frequently the obvious needs saying, because everyone's managing to miss it somehow. I don't know why, exactly. Maybe people ignore the obvious on purpose.

Don't worry about Katz. He can dish it out, and he can take it too.

Use scientific notation if you find it unwieldy.

Down 6db at 20hz. It'll it still blink prettily, but no data.

Songs that made the Hit Parade
Guys like us we had it made
Those were the days.
And you knew where you were then
By the lights of the KI-10
Mister we could use an editor like TECO again
Didn't need no ROM bootstrap
Or any of that GUI crap
Gee our old TOPS-10 ran great
Those were the days
He's also been spanked at:

Oh, give me a break. It's all too obvious this guy just wanted to get some attention.
Just because somebody makes no noises about what a heroic self-sacrificing idealist he is doesn't mean he is one.
Pardon my cynicism. I've lived too long, and seen too much.
I know what he's against, and it's hard not to agree with him. But what's he *for*?
Once he's overturned the current order, with what does he hope to replace it?
Mostly.
I grew up among poor people. Deservedly poor people. Not immigrants. Just trash.
I don't see that being effective was in the cards, no matter what he did.
It should be against the law.

...their parents paid to them when they were kids.
What we need is a marijuana patch so hopheads don't need to get emphysema.
...Naw.
Either that or they could go sober.
Why not an anti-rain march? You know, agitate for more federal finds to go to weather control research, or something.
I'm old enough to remember Vietnam and the war on poverty. The parallels between the two are too numerous to list.

Each to his own self-justifying nonsense.
And who's to say Microsoft is standards body shopping?

Oh, wait a minute. That didn't actually work.
I've seen that API documentation. It sucks.
I can put that on a T shirt without even trying.
