im an atheist and I dont find the 10 commandments to be offensive, They are good rules to live by for the most part. I for one am getting sick and tired of atheists with too much time on their hands that they pretend to be offended.
The offense is not the 10 commandments themselves, but that *any* religious doctrine be institutionalized with the *intent* to impose one's faith on others.
I would say the 10 commandments being erected at a state capitol is going to far.
You are technically correct, but only until very recently, that was not the case.
On August 9, 2007, the bald eagle was removed from the federal list of threatened and endangered species. After nearly disappearing from most of the United States decades ago, the bald eagle is now flourishing across the nation and no longer needs the protection of the Endangered Species Act.

It's still under development so the returns haven't come in yet. When they do, it won't be to your benefit.
There's an estimated 300 billion oil reserves in Iraq, with about half that proven. Currently, Rumaila field alone produces almost a million barrels a day. The Kurdish region is now open for business but military action in Syria is needed.
You're missing the points that I was alluding to, and apparently one of the moderators had to. You could have replaced iPhone with whatever of phone you wanted.
Listen, the web evolves and evolves according to standards. All proprietary lock-ins will naturally be kicked out eventually. The writing has been on the wall for a long, long time. Not only are Java applets dead, I could say Java as a language is dead. When I say "dead", it's not cost beneficial. Treat it as a pet language and move on.
My post was +5 flamebait because it was open-ended and moderators and posters can come to their own conclusions. I guess that means I was the smartest person in this thread. yippie! fuck what.
so it should never be allowed to fire employees who are critical of it.
When his insults extended to the wives and children of the politicians, he went from "criticizing the government" to "unacceptable behaviour for a political appointee". And if he was leaking insider information about diplomatic negotiations, then he deserves to lose his security clearance, and with that loss goes his cushy job.
The government is not a monopoly employer.
That's strange. Politicians and political parties do it all the time.
I'm not disagreeing with you, just pointing out that a government employee apparently requires more integrity than a politician holding high office.
... is when your message me and a 6 million others at 4 in the morning because some kid (white) is missing.
Do your fucking jobs, assholes. Next time you message me, you are agreeing to the updated ToS that you will find in your inbox next week. Each message I receive will cost you a $1000. Is it worth it?
It's not just that. You are doing something, whether intentionally or not, that makes a parent great: You are guiding.
A great parent is a person who has amassed enough experience in life to leave a garden of knowledge for their own child, where they pick and choose. This defines for me when a person should begin a family.
I hope you enjoy every moment with your daughter. Both of you deserve it.
Nah. It ain't "deep-seated". We just hate the same old bullshit by lousy "programmers". Apple likes developers and gives its tools away for free. Actually, the only company that doesn't respect its developers is Microsoft. But, oh wait, there are no real developers on the Microsoft platform. Apple and *nix has all the developers.
Ouch. Burn.
Prove me wrong. Show me any tool that is coded for or coded by Microsoft that is:
Huh? No, what you mean is that a Microsoft grocery store would charge for the hotdogs and buns just so I can buy the ketchup. From there, I can only sell their own brand hotdog in a square full of Microsoft employees.
... to quit. It's because of Microsoft that I haven't coded in C++ for fifteen years. Really, is there a single developer on/. that prefers this environment?
Got to taunt: A C++ developer is only useful when he knows how to code in C.
I really liked your other post: "Children need unrestricted access to the computer and to knowlege and information. they do NOT need unrestricted access to a cesspool."

From here on out, this should be your answer to every question posed.
Unless they're run over by people who do not follow traffic laws. Then there's the people who will maliciously speed up to hit you.
I "almost" got killed twice past two weeks by people who either don't care or are unwillingly to adhere to traffic laws and decent courtesy.

... It kind of happens when you are found out for conspiracy against the people you are meant to serve and protect.
It's called having a conscience. Or lack of, since morale is only suffering after you've been caught.
If only Faulkner had such critics.

Often times cats are attracted by another's scent. You can neutralize it with white vinegar.

Yeah, they are. Guess why.

I see now. It was late. I was drunk and trolling. A geek fight is better than a real one!
I know I was as a troll, but this is actually a decent defense for C++. I'll give it another chance after I'm done learning Ruby.
Thanks for your post.

1) desirable
2) practical
3) intuitive
Waiting...........

Did I mention the hotdogs were five-years-old?
You're not missing the joke. Everyone else is just missing English class.
LOL. We're waiting for Microsoft to catch up. It ain't 2008, bitch.
For those of you who have switched because of the dreaded Windows registry, say Amen!
I said Amen!!!!
Can I have an Amen??
Just wait until tomorrow. What will happen with /. scheduled downtime?.. will they replace the current site with their Wordpress beta theme?

You sound like a great dad. Seriously.
