In some places (the UK, I believe, fer instance), you can be charged with "possession of burglary tools" for being in the wrong place with a screwdriver in you pocket. That's pretty WHACK.
Where there's a will, there's a way. The best that stupid laws like that do is intimidate the stupid. That's a lofty goal for our legislatures. Oh, wait, now I'm conflicted...
Next, we'll have to institute some sort of government standards agency to insure that our beautiful virtual girfriend isn't selling 200%, is really beautiful, and is really a girl!
I just bought a case of paste-on foil gold stars at Office Depot. Now I'm going to completely destroy the intellectual economy of the local kindergarten. BWAHAHAHAHA!
That's the problem, apparently Bill has drunk Marketing's kool-aid and really believes that.
Those of us that actually code knows it goes more like :
turtles
dogs
cats
Zebras
wombats ...
snakes
dingos
fish
nematodes
and then finally, you get down to the level where you're dealing with quantum wave functions and wave guides.
It's managing the levels of abstraction that's the real magic trick.
Jesus Christ for the billions we've spent on hot fusion research which has been "just 10-15 years away" for FIFTY YEARS, we could have paved everyone's roof with PV and weaned ourselves off of foreign petroleum by now!!!
There was a report on "Marketplace" on NPR (well, PRI, really) about Manchester (?) and other cities in England having a rash of manhole thefts. Apparently China's voracious appetite for steel has driven up the scrap metal market to insane heights.
The report also intimated that China's Broadabigbanian growth spurt was also somewhat, in part, driving up oil prices.
Just imagine the strain on the environment when every person in China wants a US-standard-of-living. I pray to God that some smart Chinese engineer comes up with a cheap new energy source. Someone should have educated the Chinese about pragmatic environmentalism twenty years ago.
Any real developer who hasn't drunk the Micro$oft kool-aid knows damn well that DirectXXX is just a thinly-disguised ripoff of fu-fme with a thin wrapper of vendor lock-in!

Yeah, whatever...

More like the comparison of a Ferrari to a Ford F-150. Which do you think hauls more for cheaper?
Only if you ignore my brilliant plan to dispose of it in breeder reactors!!!
Solves two problems at once!!

As Larry Niven said, "The dinosaurs died out because they didn't have a space program."
Osama's been captured?
Sure you can. Give the PCP and crowbars.
I think the government should fund a crash program of research into the "rubber band" economy.
I prefer to blame it on being "alcohol impaired".

Hot fusion research is responsible for 9/11!!!
I am Spart ^H^H err..., DAVID NELSON!

No, you're thinking of the ill-concieved "joy mumu". That had to recall 25,000 units and the company lost their shirt.
This is the closest this O-C A-R nerd could google up before he got bored with the search.
Then there'd at least be something interesting to watch!!!
Can I get my barcode tattoo done with this?
