Actually, the (US Federal) Government's job is outlined in the Constitution and has nothing to do with anything you wrote. What the Government has chosen to do, however, is something else again.
'Intellectual property is the oil of the twenty first century' -- Mark Getty From the very first time I read this quote, the statement has made no sense to me. Oil (petroleum) is a source of energy which is used by virtually every civilized individual simply to remain alive. It provides us clean drinking water, is used to ship us our food, and provides a means to prepare the food. The vast majority simply could not survive without it.
Intellectual Property (a contradiction in terms) is none of these things.
I've never seen Ada code before, but for a post extolling the virtues of the static type checking, your example does a really poor job. Unless it's supposed to be so obviously incorrect.
1) You define Distance as 4 digits, but give it a range containing 6.
2) You define speed as distance/speed, which is recursive and wrong.
The whole idea of having the registry is sheer stupidity, but on a scale designed to ruin innocent people.
Let's assume that a given person on the list was really a rapist (and not just convicted of it). If he's served his time and has repented, he won't do it again. So why do we punish him for the rest of his life with the registry? And if you think he will do it again, why is he not in jail?
You may as well just shoot him and be done with it.
From m-w.com:
2 a: a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock b: a class or kind of people unified by shared interests, habits, or characteristics According to that definition, the Chinese are most definitely a separate race than western Europeans, and by extension, the vast majority of Americans.
The term race is not a biological distinction, so stop being a stupid, politically correct ass.
What your post means to me is that you're an idiot. Adding an option does not mean they are ignoring any one segment of their market. If anything, they are now NOT ignoring a segment. Truly, you are an idiot.
The default install of Ubunto 10.whatever-it-is fails on VMware Fusion because Fusion presents the virtual disk as scsi and the front-end to Grub in the installer doesn't get it.
A record of each representative's position was not kept. I realize this situation is hardly unique, but it should be 100% illegal. How can we have a representative government when the actions of our representatives are not recorded? How can my congressman consider himself my representative when he can choose to not have his vote recorded?
The idea of a voice-only vote is completely antithetical to the idea of a representative democracy. There is no need for anonominity except to protect political careers. This should not be legal.
200-odd years ago, a relative handful of colonists decided that they could no longer tolerate their Government, so they waged a revolutionary war and the U.S. was born. There are over 1 billion Chinese. It's really hard to feel sorry for the abuses of their government against them when they allow it. I don't care what the army is equipped with. There's no way they could stop 10 or 20 million of their own citizens from taking control of the government.
I regularly play with 20-30 other people every night on the computer. And that's just the people I'm grouped with. There's hundreds of others playing at the same time.
MAC? Really...so network cards can run an office suite now? MAC stands for Media Access Control, something that is implemented by network cards. So the GP was saying that OO will support this protocol. And people complain about bloat in MS Office!:)
OO is not a word processor; it includes one. Microsoft Office is a suite of tools used by office workers. Most office workers have some need to communicate with others, and Outlook provides (part) of that capability. For OO to truly compete with MS Office, it will need to include a comparable tool. I never use Access, but that doesn't mean it isn't a valid business tool.
How is intentionally preventing auditing of the basic method of democracy anything less than treason? The Board of Directors should be jailed forever for condoning this activity by the Company's lawers.
In the proprietary-OS world, MS is the king of backward compatibility. Why do you think the problems with Vista have actually resonated with ordinary users and not just techies? It's because for nearly 30 years, people have expected software running on the MS OS of today to work on the MS OS of tomorrow. MS does not just obsolete development environments on a whim. For example, VB is still supported with.Net; it has just evolved as it has every single version.
Your assertion that MS will just abandon C# is not based on real examples, because it hasn't happened. It's based on the emotional instability expected from someone who hates because he hates.

I think that whenever a "Think of the Children" issue comes up, we should remind the idiots that Michael Jackson also "Thinks of the Children."
There are a handful of different popular vehicle fuels.
There are thousands of different licenses.
Fuel compatibility is based on verifiable engineering principles.
License compatibility is based on legal opinion.
Imprisonment is a waste of space. The correct punishment for treason is death.

Except that every desktop OS with a FW driver is vulnerable too, including Linux.

Does noone else see the irony in a newspaper exploring the reasoning behind "old" technology being used in modern environments?
