Obama lectured on Constitutional Law at University of Chicago, in a position equivalent to a low level faculty member.
While that generally requires a good knowledge of the topic it DOES NOT make you one of the foremost experts in the field. That accolade belongs to people who have a long history of insight and research, and have devoted their lives to the topic.
all men.... are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men
Since when has voting ever been enough? You need to join activist organizations. Volunteer for campaigns. Write letters to your representatives (look what letter writing did to SOPA).
The idea that being a couch potato for two years, then driving down to the polls and casting a vote is enough is ridiculous.
Real change isn't something that happens that passively. Learn some history. Look what it took to get the Civil Rights Act passed.
Is a necessary evil because I need or want to run certain software which won't run on Linux, or customers expect they will be able to use the software I write in a Windows environment.
Otherwise it could shrivel up and blow away and I'd be happy to see it go.
Yes, and CPU implementation is a further subdivision of computer elements and architecture.
Then the details of register use are an even further subdivision.
I've done work in the field since the 70's. The last time I had to worry about CPU architecture was as a junior in college in 1971 when I was porting Spacewar from a PDP-1 to a PDP-8. Mostly these days it's all about algorithms in high level languages.
The low level details of the CPU implementation are a very small corner of computer science. It's mostly about the applied mathematics of computing which is completely language agnostic.
From Wikipedia:
The IEEE Computer Society â" identifies four areas that it considers crucial to the discipline of computer science: theory of computation, algorithms and data structures, programming methodology and languages, and computer elements and architecture. In addition to these four areas, CSAB also identifies fields such as software engineering, artificial intelligence, computer networking and communication, database systems, parallel computation, distributed computation, computer-human interaction, computer graphics, operating systems, and numerical and symbolic computation as being important areas of computer science.

On 9/11 3000 Americans died in terrorist attacks.
Other losses incurred as a result were much worse.
No route to host.
I think it's simple. Trees are relaxing. Less stress makes your health better.
Did you ever notice that everything in Lord of the Rings that kills trees is evil?
JRR was on to something.
This is a fully bi-partisan chamber of horrors.
..towards the singularity.

FTFY
I call bullshit on this.

Karl Marx wrote this. In his ideal there was no right to private property.
How many milliseconds do you think that would get by in our corporatist system?
The idea that any US elected official has anything to do with this viewpoint is ridiculous.
It worked for SOPA.
That's correct, BUT the Constitution does not protect non-US citizens residing outside the US.
So you are saying that the US is running concentration camps for people who believe in strong civil rights?
The government is us.
So moving out is going to make it better? Sounds to me like it's the ultimate cop-out.

Pro Tip: Factual evidence outweighs speculation in an argument.

How is this insightful? Any decent developer has been using JodaTime for years now.
This story should never have been posted.
So use OpenJDK instead. Comes with a free tz updater too.
Because the Democrats voted 3:1 against it.
No, SSL wasn't broken. This was an attack on MD5, which isn't used any more.
Why do you think so much funding for open source NoSQL comes from three letter agencies?
