Well said. RE corporations: the standard Republican (conservative?) rejoinder is that unions could always contribute money, but I'm in favor of denying them all. Screw them. All only individual contributions up to $45, adjusted for inflation going forward. Make a law that prohibits politicians and staffers from joining lobbying outfits after their term is up to eliminate the opportunity for deferred under the table contributions. Then we'll finally have a government that responds to the true will of the people.
Yeah, but those companies have more speech, so they should be allowed to use more speech. And those companies are people. And the speech is money. And the legislation that eliminates one potential competitor actually doesn't eliminate any competition.
Sublime has a pretty extensive plugin set for JavaScript, CSS and HTML, which includes support for various projects in those languages (e.g. angular, node, LESS, emmet, etc.). The multi-cursor stuff is a nice gimmick.
It might be as simple as comparing plugins/scripts. Sublime Text seems to be the new hotness for web development, with lots of JavaScript, HTML and CSS project plugins (e.g. angular, node, emmet). VIM probably has more plugins for projects that use C++.
He absolutely got it right. "Net neutrality" commies would apparently argue that a restaurant should be forced to have all entrees at the same price, e.g. lobster $5, hamburger $5, corn dog $5. What are there, maybe a dozen or so of us left in Amerika that believe in free markets?
And here we have the real misunderstanding. Does anyone know if there is some right-wing organization out there that is trumpeting this idea? I have only seen it from Republicans ("conservatives"). I don't see it often, so it strikes me as a strawman that a few Dunning-Kruger head-cases are manufacturing on their own, but it would be nice to know if it has a source.
I was productive right out of school, and while I could have worked just ~45 hrs/wk, I worked over 80 hrs/wk to train myself up for more advanced work.
While I don't regret the 80 hrs/wk, at this point in my life, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
One of the fundamentally dishonest things that conservatives do when this topics comes up is mention George Soros. But nothing compares to the Koch brothers, and conservative money in general: http://billmoyers.com/2014/04/...
It's not 2 sides of the same coin when you compare the amount of money, although neither side is likely to offer reform on this matter.
Are you astroturfing here, or just trolling? I've never heard this story.
But uhh, if you're asturfing, I'll be happy to spread this if I can get a cut. I mean, provided Apple doesn't replace my messages with ads for that hot new sexy language they got, called Swift. So dreamy. #Jobs
There's a good reason not even Net Neutrality, the one piece of cable company fuckery we staved off, didn't last very long after Citizens United.
It's because it "takes a lot of money" to win elections, and government representatives know where their bread is buttered in that regard. If you don't play ball, the money will go to your opponent.
Then when you do get elected, partisan bickery is so bad that both parties (and especially Republicans http://nymag.com/daily/intelli...) demand full loyalty to the party, which consolidates votes around the money winners even more.
Then when you are done as an elected official, you are free to get an even higher paying job as a lobbyist, and you know who they like? That's right, the ones who play ball.
This sounds like a mad conspiracy, but it happens over, and over, and over again.
So no, there will be no voting in representatives who oppose this until we reign in campaign finance and the opportunity to get double your pay later as a lobbyist.
Bust their monopolized asses up into multiple overlapping entities and make them compete. We'd get a few more perks, too if they are suddenly given a real incentive to improve their product.
It's sad that the state of affairs in this country has us discussing the MERGER of two hated monopolies, rather than busting them up into overlapping pieces like they should.
Wages have been dropping, that's one reason everything is outpacing it. I highly recommend the movie "Inequality for All," available on Netflix. It sums up the problem the middle-class has been facing since the '80's, quite well. The middle-class tried to compensate by, 1) women working, 2) longer hours, 3) debt, and the housing crisis blew that up.
That's pretty dumb. Unless there's a study showing a solid link between Chess lessons and early critical thinking development, this is going around your elbow to get to your ass. There are far more productive ways to work the mind. Programming is one, IMHO.
Disagree. It doesn't matter that the language will change, what matters in a first step is just to convey the fact that computers can be told what to do, and "here's one way to do it." Rather than leaving kids to think computers are mystical video game boxes that can also run a spreadsheet or word processing app when you're being punished with real work, show them that they're very extensible.
I got my start with a very small example from an interim Mathematics teacher who showed us how to program our TI-86 calculators to do Riemann sums. I took it and ran. Before that, I never really thought much about it.
If you're talking about laissez faire capitalism when you say regulated utilities don't exist, then fine. Nobody wants to talk to you, but fine. Regulation can either create monopolies or destroy them, you're just a shill who is locked into one direction of thinking.

Is this getting modded up because it's so stupid? I'm missing my mod points for today or I'd vote it down.
I don't remember reading anything like that.
Yeah, does this mean when I passed out drunk it actually WAS better than cramming all night?
I'm going to take this as proof that my 18 and 19 y/o self had it all figured out.
But 12 hours of sleep over the last 3 nights isn't going to help.

High clock speed is a poor trade off these days. That's why the clock speed wars ceased.
It is? You don't say!
Tell me the truth. I think I can handle it.
And XML, how many years do you have with that?

So is your response. So are all these responses! So is your response.
