I got a similar feeling, that the MP was mocking the machine because a human would detect the bad input, much the way people with horses mocked the newfangled auto-mobile getting stuck in mud and ruts.
It's fine. Those who don't recognize the value of Lisp are "stage 2" of the type the OP complains about. You've been trained enough to drive down the street, and parallel parking is a struggle, but don't attempt a Smokey and the Bandit corkscrew jump over a river.
Just stay in your little putt putt.
Been doing embedded stuff for 15 years now, BTW. For a robust programming knowledge, I recommend a tour of duty there, as well as with Lisp, in addition to the most common of a web/desktop experience
I figure I should be tricked out and ready to transcend right about when I die of a heart attack from a sedentary lifestyle.
Why don't they fix javascript, limit it to a handful of requests so it can download its data but not spam requests in a loop? Disable its popup ability, too. I have never needed it, and if I did, I'd be happy to click an open window approve box.
"Taxi drivers say...", and now you know about lawyers and lying and using laws to keep out competition, which is unethical in a free society.
In science, you address the argument, not the arguerer. In politics, it's exactly the opposite -- 99% of the time the arguerer is someone trying to get a law passed in a scurrilous manner to benefit themselves. 99% may be an underestimate.
Metro Airport in Detroit has a similar scam going on. They built a fancy new parking structure about 20 years ago.
Now, like many airports, they had private parking places, long-term, off site, that dropped off customers and picked them up. However, their own. new place, being unable to compete (rage as you hear this, shocked, shocked you are) passed a law slapping a 30% tax on them.
This exactly demonstrates government in action w.r.t. efficiency, and what isn't supposed to happen in a free country. Private business isn't supposed to be able to use law to hinder the competition, much less government businesses.
Oh, hotels nearby frequently had outstate people drive in, spend the night, then fly out leaving their cars in the hotel lots as a bonus. The airport outlawed this, too. This is the kind of BS context in which the nearby city of Detroit is going bankrupt.
Wikipedia has already fallen prey to this. Articles on all these things are just dense reference manuals iseful only to graduates in their subjects rather than enlightening explanations.
They failed when those same people got full of themselves taking over the subject matter. They are as useless as a "man page" on regular expressions.
The First Amendment clears the motivation of press. It also clears it via speech.
Were these guys trying to get the info out in the open, or to feed it to the bad guys? As it went out in the open, the Constitution has spoken. All that's left is the crime of breaching the law you agreed to, which applies only to Manning.
Now now. You keep talking like that, how are politicians gonna stomp around outraged, rushing to "fix" this, coincidentally distracting you from massive deficit problems?

Ford did this to stop churn -- employees stuck around only 9 months on average IIRC, and training was not trivial.
That he did it so they could afford to buy the cars was a myth. That also makes no sense economically since it would just lead to runaway inflation if you magically boosted everyone's salary to $200k or a million.
"Cut Medicare spending? Why do they want old people to die? Our seniors have earned this?"
Just wait for it.
It's only tens of billions of other peoples' dollars a year. Why bother checking up vs. what insurance companies pay, who have incentive to not be wasteful?
Not only that, but they kicked the base-builders in the balls.
Look at all the wonderful Minecraft things people have made. Now imagine Minecraft's parent company saying, "Oh well. We're shutting you down, go play something else we make", and they shut down all the servers and everybody's painstaking constructions over months and years evaporated.

Imbalance between 5 year and 6 month players is at issue in 1-on-1. In multiplayer battles, it shouldn't be if the game is designed correctly. Not that an older player's "stuff" isn't better, but that one of many noobs shooting is highly effective.
As long as traditional levels don't come into play (someone 10+ above you, your shots bounce off them) then an old musket is still effective if it hits you.

If the metamod system here actually worked, those who downmodded you would themselves be meta-downmodded, such that they wouldn't get mod points for a full year.
The devil is in the details, which is why the elegant simplicity of the US Constitution is vastly preferable to these more complicated, lawyerly expressions of "rights", designed by politicians, for politicians.
Just the wording oozes with the power hungry not wanting to give up their power:
Article 10 – Freedom of expression 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.
2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
Loopholes big enough to drive an Airbus through. And I didn't even bother highlighting "public safety", "prevention of disorder or crime" or other get out of jail free cards rendering the whole thing largely meaningless.
Be careful if you build one on the moon, though. Those people will get uppity and use it as high ground to gain independence from the democratically-elected governments of Earth.
Isn't magnetite that natural iron form they make trinkets of to sell in Jamaican bazaars, typically in the form of animatable copluating humans, for placement as a dongle on mechanical security device unlocking portable storage ring?
Some of us disagree with the primacy of government as organizer of 1/3 of all existance.
"Let us decide what we want government to do, and then just tax to that level."
I would insert a.gif of someone eating popcorn if Slashdot were a bit more modern.
Of course, their next impulse isn't to fix themselves -- instead they long for control over every locality so. there's no where to flee to. The "problem" is thet you still have the freedom to vote with your feet.
States are spending more than ever. Cut off taxes and choke them seems to be the only way. See also the federal government.
As for Detroit, politicians past promised future generations' money to support retirees, a very easy thing to do.
We were warned about this. It is a vector to failure. I've just popped some popcorn over the whole thing. The reason these things are having problems is the math is identical to why the Ponzi scheme was made illegal -- charging current investors little or nothing in exchange for giving them the investmemt of future investors.
These schemes just have the perversity of being able to force you to be an investor.
Still, I feel sorry for small businesses today -- are there any restaurants whose online listings aren't choking with "gross" and "I'll never go there again!"
The Better Business Bureau has a mechanism to take complaints and give the business a way to respond and resolve the issues. All this also assumes the complaints are real and not just made up derogatory astroturfing online of competitors.

"Yes I'll publish it. See what else you can get."
Is that a conspiracy? Can't be -- that's the press in action. Now paying or bribing is a different story, but I've never heard that being claimed.

FTFY
It took less than 24 hours for Slashdot o disprove you.
We are aware of the eternal effort of politicians to weasel loopholes. Hence building in exceptions to aid their weaselhood is...unwise.

Lose the comma after "semicolon", and use a dash instead of a colon. I would terminate it with an exclamation point and a :)
