    And how many Muslims do you know?

  2. And it would be the leaders who would have to agree to a bargain so.....

  3. But what I'm talking about is using the historic, one-time-only opportunity of getting something in exchange for lifting the embargo.

    They survived 50+ years with the embargo in place, what makes you think they'd be willing to trade something to get it lifted?

    The average person in this country is being taxes at one of the highest rates in our history

    This is flat-out wrong.

  5. Easy on Ask Slashdot: Alternatives To "Atomic" Clocks? · · Score: 1

    Are there any reasonably-priced wall clock alternatives, that use something other than shortwave to set the time?

    Thousands of them, and they're very cheap! They use your hand to set the time by either pushing some buttons or turning a dial.

    Glad I could help.

    The demand for most goods tends towards infinity as the cost drops.

    As opposed to the people who will vote for the other guy simply because he has an (R) after his name (or a P between his legs)?

    And all this is likely moot anyway because she's probably not going to be charged with anything.

  9. Re:No 2nd Amendment? on Draconian Aussie Science Censorship Law Takes Effect Next Month (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    So let's be clear here: are you advocating that the citizens of Australia should shoot the members of their government (Y/N)?

  10. If that witch is the nominee, I'll be voting for trump. I'm not alone, by far.

    You're right. There are a lot of other stupid people out there.

    I'm sorry but I see no problem with putting a wall up between the US and Mexico

    If the democrats nominate Sanders, however, it will be a GOP bloodbath

    No, it won't. If the Dems are dumb enough to nominate Sanders the GOP will frame the election as "Capitalism vs. Socialism" and Bernie will get destroyed. Sorry.

    Their executives were not on the ball

    Well yes. You're talking about a company that once said the game programmers were no more important than the people who put the cartridges in the boxes on the assembly line.

  16. Re:....predictions. on The Story Behind the Worst Computer Game In History (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You know back in those days they didn't just load up a new project in Visual C++ and start coding, right? There were no frameworks, no libraries, no pre-made engines. It had to be done in assembly, and their code had to handle redrawing every scanline so they had to carefully count CPU cycles. All the gameplay logic had to be done during the vertical blanking interval. And they had to fit the whole game in 4K of memory (8K if they were lucky). Oh and you had whole 128 bytes of RAM to play with.

    Forgets in his rush to remove the firearm. It happens, it does not make one irresponsible, maybe a bit too complacent, but not necessarily irresponsible.

    Um, being too forgetful to properly store your deadly weapon is, by definition, irresponsible. Sorry.
