Like him or not, TdR's leadership is the meta-driver for OpenBSD.

Yeah, should have qualified that with "PC".

While a free, fast web browser is beautiful, consider:
a single cross-platform, cross-protocol GUI platform.
I find little joy in writing UI code. The concept of a single target that Just Works on all known OSs and lets me blow off Tcl/Tk, Gtk, Qt, wxWidgets, Swing, Windows.Forms, and every other kinda-the-same-only-different GUI kit is highly attractive.
Not to besmirch the fine efforts of people smarter than me, but I lack the attention span and patience required for the aforementioned smattering of technologies.
I would like to publicly thank Geico for getting that movie trailer voice dude (something French) for their "sprucing up the commoner series". Hearing him say "In a world..." for that ad, even though I've only seen it once, is very memorable.
While I shan't budge from USAA, I would like to beg them to collect all of their ads on a DVD, as I'd happily buy a copy.
The soap opera spoof: "I saved. I thought that meant something to you!" was also intense.
What makes you think that libertarians would handle things any better? People are going to try to scam you when large amounts of money are involved.
If their propaganda is believable, the libertarians would lower the cash level involved, thereby (theoretically) lowering the corruption.
That, combined with delegating internal functions from the Fed to lower levels, would be the preferred way to try improving things, IMHO.
A "stable" society isn't necessarily the best society.
I think you're playing devil's advocate here. Have you lived in any unstable ones? I've visited a few, in the Far East, and the truth is that the folks living in them are keen on "moving to a country where even the poor people are fat".
What is important is that you don't completely dismiss the subject out of hand. There are real issues with drug abuse that "just say no" simply doesn't address.
Certainly. My other cousins (not the homosexual ones) who have done hard time in the joint over heroin had family problems rooted in our mutual grandfather's non-command of fatherhood. My uncle, alas, never "got it", and raised some hellions to prove the point. To the extent that you can blame context for failings with a notionally free-will environment, that is. "just say no" is a necessary, but not sufficient, policy for avoidance of stupid behavior.
In your mind, a challenge to the traditional idea of fatherhood, for example, becomes an "attack." Being close minded is about being defensive and dogmatic about issues rather than open to honest discussion.
Pardon, sir: thought this was an open, honest discussion.;)
I took, and essentially failed, a Biochemistry course. One of the fascinating contradictions about life is that, when a cell divides, you really want exact replication of DNA. The overwhelming majority of mutations are fatal to the mutant. Tactically, there is no interest in change. Strategically, life has to change in its teleological pursuit of wherever it's going. Let me not beat around the bush: I don't subscribe to the idea of life as a pointless exercise in chemistry.
When you look at US history, there have been some profound improvements. The Constitution has that total crap 3/5 compromise, and see Luther Martin's comments on why the crappiness was obvious even in 1786, or some of Jefferson's own writings on why he didn't think true parity immediately attainable. Eighty years later you have a Civil War over it, and 100 years after that a Civil Rights movement to bring us to the place we had said we were nearly 200 years previously at that point. That was an important change that took and embarrassing length of time to effect (and some would argue is still ongoing).
The fact that US culture divested itself of some nast bathwater there does not excite me towards punting the baby, however. Slavery is an obvious falsehood. Some of the ideas circulating today, quite frankly, seem equally distant from the truth to me. The best we can do is disagree agreeably. Fatherhood is an immutable traditional value, which I'll vigorously defend. I do feel the idea is under explicit and implicit attack more or less daily. There is as much a place for the reactionary jackass as there is for the thoughtful critic kicking the tires on the idea periodically, to make sure they haven't lost pressure. It takes all kinds.
Unlike the rest of the world, we are faced with a monumental problem. The prosperity achieved in our country has permitted a leviathon government so huge that it could not possibly occur anywhere else in the world because nowhere else has the resources to create such a monster. It is perhaps the first brainless multicellular creature composed of intellegent beings ever to exist, a life form of its own bent on growing and consuming.
I think that if you scale for population, the US carte--I mean, government, meanly falls near the mean, man.
Governments are all composed of people. People are flawed and only 'good' when they think they're under observation. There isn't much evidence that the US is excessively worse off than, say, China.
Unfortunately, since the New Deal and the Great Society, US citizens are increasingly comfortable with abdicating their rights and responsibilities to the nanny state.
Some sort of libertarian revolution is required, but I don't hold forth great hope: the status quo == nearly infinite inertia.
I would assert that if your input data are sufficiently irregular that you require a parser/lexical analyzer, you may have exceeded the bounds of "regular" expressions.

Have stencils somehow grown ineffective in merry England?
With a GOTO, would it not be Turing Complete?
From there, it's a tiny stretch to Emacs.
Soon, the Emacs psychologist will blog-tastically analyze itself!
Will it come out metro-sexual swinging, or come out neo-con swinging?
Stay tuned.

If you point the finger at someone else, there are three more pointing back at you.
In other words, the standard pointing gesture highlights the intense scrutiny the whistleblower will face.
Spend your silver bullet wisely.
I sincerely hope that follow-on work isn't hard to come by.
If YouTube had existed in time for some space-shuttle engineers, we might not have had two birds transferred to NADA.
Is there any way to tell which of these intel chips are 64 bit?
You know you've reached sublime advertising obfuscation when a cell phone plan seems simple in comparison.

You left out the fact that SQLite is so good, it's becoming part of the stock python distribution as of 2.5.
Get Hipp. Get SQLite!
What do you mean? The aliens were in an adjacent field, doing work that Americans are too lazy/cool to do.
ah, what four Yorkshiremen won't do for a little 'shine.
