I can deny your silly comparisons. For one thing, there is no moral equivalency between a terrorist group and democratically elected government. That alone invalidates your comparison. Some other inconsistencies present themselves:
1) Abortion has nothing to do with womens rights, it's a disagreement about the rights of children. Surely this is not the equivalent of requiring women to cover themselves head to toe at the penalty of stoning, not allowing them to drive, allowing "honor" killings, etc... 2) Comparing the repression of civil liberties by the Taliban to the current U.S. government is just moronic, or a sophomoric debating tactic. 3) Terrorists don't cause civilian deaths in the pursuit of their goals, civilian deaths IS their goal. If this difference is meaningless to you, then you are beyond help. 4) Because of #3, terrorists cannot be allowed to have nukes. You'll note that the U.S. doesn't oppose France having nukes. I wonder why? Could there be a subtle difference between western representative democracies, and 10th century theocracies? Not to you apparently.
So yes, you are quite wrong and silly. There really is a difference between the U.S. and the Taliban.
As a side note, I imagine this policy is to enable the use of nuclear bunker busters to knock out Iran's nuclear weapons capability, not for attacking cities.
Actually, that is false. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting richer. The "rich" isn't a static group by the way, and neither is the "poor". The "poor", that are willing to improve themselves, don't stay poor, and the rich often go bankrupt. Freedom creates inequality. Tyranny produces equality.
to the mix, and maybe Keck and that one in Hawaii. One wonders the effect of throwing a few dozen relatively low resolution telescopes out to the Lagrange points and hook them up as well.
You see, your personal experience is called an "anecdote". It is just a single data point and doesn't really mean anything. People aren't entering computer science anymore because they don't think they'll get a job, or the job won't pay as much as in the past.
How typical of the open source propeller heads who think money grows on trees. The movement has a blindness that rivals a religious cult. Do they really think there is no negative consequence with giving away the fruits of their labor? Yes, they do, and they will reduce software to a hobby like model rocketry.

They are worth what they are getting. If they were worth more, they'd get more. Economic worth is determined by what someone will pay, nothing more.

Employees are always paid what they're worth. What they are paid is the definition of what they are worth.
Sorry. They already track you easily by using your credit card purchases and telephone calls.
General Motors is worth whatever it's real estate is worth, minus the cost of firing everybody.
Well how big is he? Over 7 feet tall and 400 lbs? Don't leave us in suspense.
Just because he was right doesn't mean he wasn't smoking crack.
Why would you want a programmer to make a collage?
You forgot the one thing that we truly dominate in : pornography.
If you think stealing from rich people is "almost right", you don't have much in the way of morals.
Games, you fool.

Per month or per year?
Only if they are forbidden from using 50 caliber machine guns.
I'm waiting for the RAID 0+1 version.
Wrong. Cars weren't made affordable because workers decided to produce them and give them away.
You prove the authors point. Since the CS career path is being destroyed, the solution is to learn another career.
Finally, someone who isn't afraid to state the obvious. You realize you may be burned as a witch, however.
You have a weak mind.

You're a little late. ICBMs travel through near earth space, and therefore come from "space".
Too bad Hitler didn't think of sitting in a wheelchair. Then he could have run the Third Reich without worry of retribution from your ilk.
by Indians or jobless propellerheads writing software for free. No thanks, I guess I'll become a real estate agent so I can feed my family.
