The second amendment mentions "enemies both foreign and domestic". The inner conspiracy that takes actions counter to the constitution and the people of the united states are the latter and not the nation itself.
When the FBI shuts down a mob family or the CIA shuts down a spy ring, they typically do not feel satisfied that several mobsters/spies end up in jail. Their goal is to remove the organization. Scientology infiltrated,attacked and sabotaged the US government on an unprecedented scale. Scientology still exists and is stronger than ever.
Its not that they classified themselves as a religion to get a tax break on their racket, its that they got the IRS to accept it though blackmail.
We understand "their view perfectly well". It's a sort of pseudo-libertarianism with some distracting demogogery for the proles thrown in to distract them from what's really going on.
Corporations and rich people should be free to take advantage of the powerless.
That has always been Republican dogma.
Not always, but you would have to look to the beginning of the 1900's to find it.
Healthy food costs much more than high carb low nutrition food. Assistance dollars tend to go towards high carb low nutrition food because it allows people to stretch those food stamps farther. I grew up poor, $250 in food stamps would not provide healthy food for 5 people for a month even back in the 80s.
What makes you think Scientology is weak and fang-less? They kill people. They broke into a federal agency and stole documents without repercussion. They blackmailed the IRS into granting them a tax exemption.
And what you don't realize is that the right also has its body of ruling elites that it serves with blind and absolute allegiance that more closely resembles deification than mere political affiliation.
Modern democracy is a circus to distract us from the people who are really pulling the strings and controlling our nation and our world.
Left? Right? It doesn't matter. What matters is that there is an elite class of people who are dismantling our nation and siphoning every last drop that they can from the people before our nation collapses under their greed and lack of foresight. Unless something happens soon to change that, our little experiment in liberty will have been nothing but a minor intermission in a long line of authoritarian kleptocracies and America as we know it will not see the 22nd century.
9/11 would have happened eventually even if we never set foot in the middle east. Al Qeada and the taliban want nothing less than the establishment of a global caliphate under the absolute rule of an elite class of islamic clergy, the conversion or extermination of everyone who isn't a militant islamic radical and an end to science, education and freedom of all kinds.
More of the harm caused to the American people is a result of the exploitation by the elite owner class through their corporate proxies rather than the government.
Less government isn't the solution, neither is more government. What we need is a better, more principled government.
I kid, my cube farm at my last 2 jobs have been in beautiful Florida. The job before my current one had a view of the Gulf of Mexico overlooking the place where they shoot all those magazines with half naked chicks draped over hot rods.
I only got a facebook account a couple months ago when I broke of with my crazy ex and realized that I didn't have a practical way of communicating with all my old friends who I had been missing due to crazy ex and moving 2 states away.
It was intended as something of a joke, referencing the Churchill quote.
But yes, something like an s-expression would be much more compact. But it would replace closing tag hell with closing parenthesis hell, and while I prefer that hell, I don't think many others would.
Technically I do not think parenthesis are appropriate, linguistically, the contents of a parenthetic enclosure can be omitted without changing the meaning of an expression. When viewed as a collection, parenthesis typically represents a multiset where the order of the contents is not relevant.
Linguistically, chevrons (that can be represented as for standard keyboards) are most appropriate because you are annotating or highlighting the contents. It also makes sense mathematically because chevrons are one of the notations typically used for tuples.
For document markup you probably also want to be able to apply an arbitrary number of attributes to a single collection of elements without repeatedly nesting the enclosing expressions.
I agree that VS is a fine development environment and c# is a reasonable language, but eclipse is also a fine development environment and java superior to c# in many ways, even if a bit clunkier at times. XML is annoying, and the worst standardized markup language except all the ones that came before it.

No. Only people who announce their 733t #@xor 5k177s or those who p0wn newbs.
Since Bill has slowed his evil down to a trickle Paul sees the opportunity to catch up.
I don't know, I didn't exactly expect a coverup of DynCorps pimping of children.

I am pretty sure that auditing process R2-45 disagrees with you.

Not only the US.
Did you miss the part where I said they wanted to exterminate or convert everyone who isn't like them and throw the world into a new dark age?
The US is a preferred target because of our influence and interference, not our interference alone.
The US is culturally heretical to them and would be a significant target for that reason alone. Just like moderate muslims and educated women are.

I for one welcome our new data storing overlords.

Ubuntu has had free software repositories built in for basically forever. Apple borrowed the idea of an "app-store" from linux.

Minor point: 858 billion tax cut is only ~8,000 times more than 108 million. It would be 8,000,000 times more only if you use the "other billion".
I mostly mean the differences between the JVM and CLR. Java does have more accurate libraries for math though.
Can't be any worse than my cube farm.

Thats a good one.
In Soviet Russia the gnu infects you. ;)
Ew. I found the image that produced in my brain to be particularly disturbing.
With the backing of Putin, could this be the breakthrough free software has been waiting for?
I am pretty sure that Putin don't care about the freedom part of free software
For him, it's free beer that counts.
I think beer is something Putin drinks when he wants to sober up after a vodka bender.

forgot to use html escapes for the symbols.

I may have given this way to much thought...
