I was merely pointing out that there is a vast middle ground lying between Capitalism and Communism, and that it's ludicrous to try to push either one as the only viable alternative.
You don't need it. It runs on your local machine, so you can check every network connection that it makes and, more importantly, you can trivially prevent it from making any network connections.
I'm not saying office does anything but malicious, but it would be trivial for Microsoft to put a backdoor in their own OS.
lol, I can't even imagine what a Starstreak missile would do to an ultralight aircraft. According to Wikipedia "Each sub-munition dart travelling at 1,250 meters per second (2,800 mph) has comparable kinetic energy to a shell from a Bofors 40 mm gun". Either the ultralight aircraft would instantly disappear, or the missile would just go right through it.
Market pressure isn't required to keep things efficient, it's merely one way of doing so. You could also do it by laws. I go to school in Germany, and the university system is very efficient, and yet there are no market forces at work whatsoever. We don't feel the need to let "the market" dictate how we do everything.
And next those fine states will have handshake agreements with Foxconn about moving in even more production when they bring back slavery. If we're going backwards, why not just go all the way? I'm sure legalizing slavery would push unemployment down VERY quickly!
Unions aren't even that corrupt in the US. Cases of corruption are just highly publicized by those who have an interest in seeing unions outlawed / declawed.
There would be nothing keeping competitors from acquiring and selling the drug
Yeah, nothing except the fact that they would have to figure out how to make the drug, and if there were no patents, such a formula would be a very closely guarded secret.
CMake is far more flexible, and allows you to make complex build scripts. For instance, I have CMake scripts that build my CUDA code alongside my main app QT code, switching to the CUDA compiler when needed. It also makes linking in other libraries very easy thanks to the great FindCMake scripts that exist for most major libraries. This isn't such an issue when you're just coding for yourself, but when you want to distribute your code, it sure reduces the headaches.
The QT documentation crushes the Boost documentation. Say what you will, but it sure makes learning to use it a hell of a lot easier.
Not to mention, CMake makes using the MOC compiler really easy (assuming you've moved past qmake, which I think is a good idea), so you barely even notice it when compiling.QT is great for GUIs, thread handling, message passing, and even things like TCP. I recently worked on a project where an intelligent programmer wasted days of my life because he insisted on using Boost for his side of our communication. Our stuff was written in QT, worked right away, and the code was easy to read.
You'd never get a 24" 4x 1080p (so 3840x2160) screen for $800, especially not one with 120hz refresh. The Dell I mentioned (U2711) goes for about $800, and has significantly fewer pixels then what you're asking for. Also, you say the Dell quality isn't up to par with what you want, but the U2711 is widely regarded as one of the best monitors on the market. It's also an IPS panel, which is far superior to the TN/ TFT stuff you see everywhere.
Also, I believe a 3840x2160 @ 24" screen is really overkill... you're approaching (if not past) the spatial resolution of the human eye, unless you're sticking your face 12 inches from the screen.
Or just get the Dell 27", it's a great display. 2560x1440 is nice, and the brightness and viewing angle are amazing. The only problem I have with it is that it consumes way too much power. The thing keeps my hands warm in winter...
And you've joined the list of people who think hyperbole has a place in a serious discussion. Everyone was already required to provide this information before entering the US anyway. Now they just get it from the airlines.
Is anonymous communication really a right? It's a relatively new thing in human interaction, is it really necessary, or beneficial?
I'm not stating an opinion one way or the other, I'm honestly asking, what do we really gain from truly anonymous communication? The things we lose (i.e. accountability for things you say) are clear, so I'm just asking, what are the benefits to society?
Isn't free speech enough? If we truly had the right to free speech, why would anonymity even be necessary?
You don't know, he could be a vampire or some other mythical creature which dies every day... then the statement would be grammatically correct. As long as dying isn't a hypothetical, it makes sense.
I think this is the part the OP has a problem with. Unfortunately, in an adversarial judicial system, it's the only possibility (unless of course the case of the side which shows up is completely without merit).

Right, because there are only two alternatives, pure capitalism and communism. Brilliant.

Are you really that clueless? They're worried about a hijacked civilian plane, not airplanes from some country's air force...
That's kind of understandable though, I mean, SLC 2002 WAS only a few months after 9/11.

or take the Chunnel, though I imagine the seats around the Olympics are already sold out.

Network-affiliated stations in the top 50 markets will have six months to comply.
6 Months, eh? You mean, the beginning of November? Once the election is pretty much over?

You should worry less about the CPU and more about the GPU... they're the ones burning all the power.
you'd notice the phosphor fade between frames even if the frames themselves were the same...
Sounds like you need a better display.

Well, forests often do.

I'm not saying you're completely full of shit, but anonymous posts of "I'm so successful" are basically just "My e-peen is bigger than yours".
Since they provided no defense, they are guilty.
