"Don't misunderstand. I'm no homophobe. But I can't stand flamers. If he wants to be that way, he can have surgery." [Lonny Eachus, 2010-07-16]
And I already explained it to you more than once now that you assigned a meaning of your own to those words that didn't actually exist when I wrote them.
... a 'Tower of Babel' icon for articles about yet another new programming language?
Jean Sammet used the "Tower of Babel" for articles about computer languages as early as 1960. Now Google are pumping out crappy new languages every week.
The problem here is that we have 30+ year old designs in the field now which are rapidly becoming obsolete and have exactly ONE option for mufti role utility aircraft to replace them.
"Mufti role"? A military plane in civilain dress?
If you mean "multi-role" you should be aware that historicaly "multi-role" weapons are ones that can do none of the roles for which they were designed well, while costing more than the sum of the single-role systems they replace.
How would you feel if your loved ones were on a plane, it crashed, and they were killed or mutilated and maimed for life, because [ some idiot installed an armoured door between the cabin and the cockpit ]
"the ghetto" is what the advanced parts of the world call what you know as "the USA". You know, lots of fat pasty white people sitting on those little electric carts.

Sorry? Who wrote what?
Javascript is terrible. Making global variables default, and local variables require a keyboard
Yeah, you can do globals with a mouse, but for locals you need a keyboard(*)
(* was scared I'd mistype this as cheeseboard).

When will the madness stop?
The Apache is a wonderful system -- the most badass thing in the air.
But gets into trouble when people actually like shoot at it.

Has happened once, maybe twice now.
Which, considering the underpants bomber, is strange.
What the fuck are you trying to say?
665 million Indians don't have a private toilet. Way to prioritize, India.
The "whitey's on the moon" argument looks wierd here.
Oceans, we have oceans on this planet.
And rain.
You might like to think about what that means about the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

I for one am constantly aching for a CLI that can play musical notes. It's an essential feature and one I cannot possibly do without.
echo doesn't have an option for that?
When you've tried to walk someone through finding the hidden option in a GUI over the phone for the tenth time you're ready to tear your hair out.
And it will change in the next version of Gnome/KDE/Windows/whatever-that-apple-thing-is-called-today.

Please read Robert Heinlein's The Number of the Beast and then tell me if you still think natural language is appropriate to command computers.
Yeah, avoid that shit, it ends up in incest and worse.
Are Homeland Security aware of this?
I was naif, in the Ivory Coast I went to the Orange HQ. They looked at me like I was an idiot and told me to buy it off an itinerant street vendor.
His eyes lit up when I told him I wanted to buy the 1 month internet prepaid plan - ($30 if I remember right).
I use H2O Wireless. It even works with GSM phones that are carrier locked to AT&T.
presumably because it's a MVNO on the AT&T network.

Ignore the last sentence.
Woooosh.
You can pay cash for a SIM at just about any big box vendor.
Sorry old chap, don't get your banter.
What's a "big box vendor"? Somoeone who sells big boxes? Most sim cards I've seen are rather small.
I'm debating whether to give this +1 funny or +1000 insightful
if you have a smartphone (and seeing that this is /., I bet OP does), AT&T will make you get a "smartphone" plan,
How do thy do that? What's a their definition of a "smartpone" and how do they detect it?
Is that supposed to be a reply to CRCulver's post?
He's lost enthusiasm for free (libre) phones, not handcuffed android thingies.
So you're more interested in buzzwords that freedom.
That's ok, you are mainstream.
I'm weird and I know it.
