like fdr and his debt, this debt too will shrink massively soon as the economy starts to expand
it's funny how keynesians hold fdr in such high regard, and how they think his policies made everything better... nothing i say could ever change their clouded view of the world, but their ignorance must surely be bliss
if only we could all be so happy... oh hang on a minute it's a bit hard when everyone's either broke and indebted or bankrupt
but of course we should all be out there spending more of what little money we have, just to keep the keynesian gravy train going
something tells me if you were as business savy as you make out you would be wealthy already... that you feel the need to brag on slashdot implies you aren't
for compiled software i use delphi (if i had a need for linux versions i would use lazarus/freepascal), but for scripting web apps (php/html/sql/js/css) i have gedit on one screen and a browser open on the other. that way i can hit ctrl+s and then tab to the browser and press F5 to see the effect. i guess everyone developing web apps probably uses 2 screens nowadays. at work i only have one screen on the development server, with the other screen with the browser open beside it but connected to a workstation. same but different.
i have two old laptops, one with windows vista and the other is a bit older (used to have xp till the optical drive died so i put debian on it from a boot server) and i was able to install a bunch of games on the linux laptop by just surfing through the entertainment section in synaptic, but i'm still trying to figure out how to get more games for the vista machine without getting infected by malware. i know many of the linux games have windows versions of places like sourceforge, but its just a pain in the ass compared to synaptic. software availability used to be a serious problem for linux compared to windows, but its fast becoming the other way around.
linux admins aren't usually as retarded as windows admins, and linux admins are also usually pretty good windows admin but the reverse is rarely the case
OSS makes money from support, but microsoft isn't exactly a charity when it comes to support
in any case all this change is probably because microsoft is forcing businesses to migrate to windows server 2012 because they are no longer supporting SBS, and if you want exchange you have to go for the more expensive versions
anyone who thinks microsoft software is value for money compared to OSS has rocks in their head
surely even the die hard cli coders would concede that syntax highlighting is a pretty cool feature at least... code should be readable without it for sure, but it does make a lot of code easier to look at, particularly if your looking for that stubborn bug.
i don't do a lot of embedded (used avrstudio in windows but haven't had the motivation to work through the issues getting avrdude working for an et-avr development+stamp board from futurlec) but plain ol' gedit is pretty good for most other programming (eg php/html/sql/js/css). don't need any plugins and whatnot... just syntax highlighting. the tabs across the top make it pretty easy to switch between files too, and there's a little asterisk next to the filename if there are unsaved changes. it might be nice to be able to choose the fonts/colors of different elements (having been a delphi coder for years i was a bit spoilt) but the default scheme in gedit is pretty nice anyway. there also isn't any debugging tools but it just forces me to use the debugging tool sitting on my shoulders a little more:)
looking at a wall of black and white all day is a surefire recipe for eyestrain.
on another note... who named it btrfs? it kinda looks like ButtFS. aren't we supposed to be in the age of coolness? why not call it SlickFS or OMFGFS, or given that it's for linux... RTFMFS
avrstudio is pretty good for embedded avr, or gcc+avrdude.
i'm not sure what you mean by ide for embedded. i tend to think of ide as integrating code with visuals, but there's no forms in embedded, and i imagine it would be a big stretch to simulate outputs when they could consist of anything. you can integrate debugging, flashing, and simulation of chip response. in that case avrstudio is very good for avr chips.
So you're suggesting that atheists get together in groups, keep discussing dogma, whch consists of repeating the phrase "god doesn't exist.", and on the basis of these activities and the existence of said dogma we have ourselves a religion.
no, not really. from wikipedia, "Religion is an organized collection of belief systems, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to spirituality and, sometimes, to moral values.". religion is generally social, but many Christians and Catholics don't regularly go to church, and many go just for the social interaction and community involvement.
i may in fact be religious myself, but i'm not aware of the name of my religion. all the labels that i know of don't fit my beliefs to the extent that i would be comfortable identifying myself with such a label.
Having seen no evidence or reasonable argument for the existence of any god I assume there isn't one
for someone who seemingly denies repeating the phrase "god doesn't exist" you manage to come up with some nice preaching. if you google "atheism" you will find a plethora of similar dogma that aligns with the accepted definition of atheism, both written on the web and spoken on youtube videos.
i'm not saying you're wrong, but i'm also not saying you're an atheist. if you call yourself an atheist, you are throwing yourself in with a group of people who also identify with that label, and that label has an accepted definition. if you don't agree with that definition, perhaps you should reconsider the label you use to refer to your beliefs.
i tend to use the label non-religious mainly because i haven't found a label that otherwise suits, and i figure there's probably no point inventing one because nobody will understand anyway. non-religious doesn't imply lack of beliefs, but simply that my beliefs don't conform with any of the various current religious dogmas that i'm aware of. maybe you are in the same boat and that's fine. you don't have to label yourself non-religious if you don't want to.
the other problem with popular labels is that you often get factions that try to misconstrue their meaning to fit their own beliefs. i think that's why some "atheists" get offended when someone throws the generally accepted definition at them. there are possibly quite a few "atheists" out there who merely associate themselves with atheism because of the lack of a better word, of which there is also nothing inherently wrong with. it just sometimes makes for some confusing conversation when different people have different ideas of what a word means:)
If I were to be given some credible evidence I'd change my mind to align with the available facts
i think it would take a mountain of evidence to convince many real atheists of the existence of god... certainly more than is required to prove there isn't one. that's a natural consequence of faith-based belief. there's nothing wrong with it, but it's really no different or better than other religious faith-based beliefs.

Big bets are for when you haven't yet got what you need
so why the apparent need to gloat or prove your point? why would you even care to the point of replying?
don't get me wrong; i'm honored to have seemingly deserved that much of your time, sir :)

synaptic is pretty good
i have two old laptops, one with windows vista and the other is a bit older (used to have xp till the optical drive died so i put debian on it from a boot server) and i was able to install a bunch of games on the linux laptop by just surfing through the entertainment section in synaptic, but i'm still trying to figure out how to get more games for the vista machine without getting infected by malware. i know many of the linux games have windows versions of places like sourceforge, but its just a pain in the ass compared to synaptic. software availability used to be a serious problem for linux compared to windows, but its fast becoming the other way around.

SaaS is permitted under gplv2 but i think it was squashed under gplv3, hence why linux etc will stay at v2
Will this grocery delivery service discriminate against "atheist" foods?
probably not as much as you're discriminating against atheists by implying they eat differently to non-atheists

think about it douche... to be an atheist requires an understanding of what god is to be able to reject the existence of it
a three year old has no concept of god or religion... hence, non-religious
in any case you probably still won't understand, so maybe if i start talking in your language we might be able to communicate better...
