Israel is fighting organized armed insurgents whose stated mission is to destroy it. It's a threat that's existed in this form since 1967, and it's not going away.
Just think for a minute about how America would handle this. It only took one terrorist attack on our soil for every politician and every government agency in North America to collectively lose it's mind. We started two wars, eroded our own civil rights, distorted Constitution and treaties with other nations beyond recognition. We created new government agencies which (let's face facts,) do nothing, and we've been berating and hate killing Muslims ever since.
And that's just one attack. Before you judge Israel, think for a second about how we would respond to thousands of them. I can't tell you what America would do, but I'll tell you this: America would respond in ways that make the entire history of Israeli threat response look like acts of kindness.
Man, you would think they would have learned when they required every website operator in the world to flash a sign about cookies that they don't know enough about the internet to govern it adequately. These people are intentionally ignorant, and it would be annoying, if it wasn't so adorable.
Yeah, but it should be obvious to anyone who travels to or decides to live in a third world country that you just don't fuck with the the management. Look, it sucks, but these people have absolute power, and very little accountability. Third world countries are often corrupt, and the last thing you want to do is paint a target on your forehead. No telling if McAfee is behind it or not, but any way you look at it... he's pissed somebody off.
Or, the other possibility is that he's a crazy old man, and all of this is in his head.
Look, if Microsoft didn't like people using "non-standard" filter code, they shouldn't have come up with the whole idea in the first place. Even IE 10 (especially IE 10) has it's own equivalent filter markup for CSS. If they didn't LOVE THIS, why are they doing exactly the same thing themselves? Christ. Get me some coffee.
Simply called the sales department, told them that I would like to sign up for their cell phone service. After being approved, casually mentioned that I never agreed to data caps, and they removed it from my account no questions asked. Now I stream porn and netflix all day, without even thinking about it. Life is good.
I'm calling it. Google buys them, and merges them with Motorola mobility in six months four days. Half the combined company is laid off, and the new company makes the must have next generation devices we techies crave like crack. Seriously, May 17th 2013 will be the day they announce. In future analysis, we'll learn that Google did it for the sexy graphics chips.
And virtualbox doesn't spit out errors on 32 bit virtualhosts either, which is nice. You know, speaking of speed of the instruction set, you could probably write some light and elegant stuff against a 16 bit host, if you wanted to.
These "we the people" petitions are a joke. At best they'll get a response that says the whitehouse cannot respond for whatever reason they figure is vague enough not to be offensive to anyone at the time.
It hadn't occurred to me that Conservative states would seriously ponder succession, but I hope they're successful with it. I do. Think about the scope of what's being talked about for a minute. They would need entirely new computer systems for everything. It would be like the joyous Y2k years all over again. All those high paying contracts, all the sense of urgency. That, and we all know what states would do with their independence. They would create ways for the people living in other states to hide from the IRS. If it happened (which I doubt) Texas would be the American Singapore. It would be a thing of beauty, really. I'm all for it.
First and foremost, you can disagree with the way the country is going and not be a racist. I don't dislike Obama, but I'm not thrilled with him. Really hate that Bush era policies continued under him, when he promised they wouldn't. I'm unhappy with drones coming to American streets. I'm unhappy with turning new laws giving the government the ability to detain without trial. I'm unhappy with they way they've been treating whistle blowers. I'm unhappy with the cronyism we see between Biden and the MPAA/RIAA. Taking MegaUpload offline was a fucking travesty of justice, and the people deserve an apology. In my decision to vote for Romney, race never even entered into the equation. It's extremely bigoted and narrow minded of your to blindly assume that anyone who voted for Romney is a racist. I'm sorry, but you suck for your intolerance.
Being a good programmer is not something that's learned, it's not something that goes away. It's not something that goes stale. It's something you are, or not. Age is not the relevant issue here. I've known programmers both extremely old, and extremely young that are brilliant. It's a California myth that age has anything to do with it.
It would be a hard sell to the development community these days. Especially when we're facing overseas competition, and domestic competition from overseas labor. A union would make American developers un-competitive, and force businesses over the edge of insisting they can't afford american labor, even further. Sure, it would be nice if congress fixed that, but they haven't in the twelve years I've been watching. So, it's probably not feasible any time soon.
The judge is going to smack them in the head for this. If they let it go, I would be absolutely shocked. It would have been easier to just do this in good faith the first time, and have it over with. Now, as I predicted, they're going to have to do this a third time. Just watch. Next week, we'll see an article. Judge might even hold them in contempt. I'm buying extra popcorn this week.
It really does look like they would be a piece of cake to steal. I mean, the biggest obstacle to stealing a regular car is its size. Plain and simple. There's no possible way you can lift one up, and put it in the back of your pickup. You actually have to put work into rewiring it, or hacking it in some way. These things... you would need some kind of embedded gps system or similar deterrent to keep them from being stolen. Hell of an opportunity for guys who do that kind of coding.

Does Unity count? The thing is a steaming pile of dog shit. Gets worse every time I peak in on it too. Christ, it sucks.
Obviously, it was the one armed man.
Who knows, maybe she's a lot better looking in person?
Egad! It all makes sense now.

None of the outcomes here are good.

Why on earth would you want a 32 bit system in 2012?
How the heck did that happen?
He's drinking the radical blue kool-aide. The rest of us are drinking purple punch.

Would Susan B. Anthony have been a good taxidermist?
If one hypothetical things happens, should you do some other hypothetical thing? Sure. Why not.

Sucks, but this is the market we live in. If you want to be treated like a human being, there's always entrepreneurialism.

If memory serves, precedent was set for this about ten years ago with the Netscape "click wrap" agreements.
