You are ignoring both the broken window fallacy and the intent of the stimulus package, which is to inject money into the economy quickly to spur us out of this recession. Not all spending is equal.
You have a point, though I would reiterate, it isn't theft, in either case. If YOU want to claim it IS theft, you are wrong.
Pirating software in this case is for profit and pirating music is typically done for personal use, which is an important distinction, legally if not morally. Doesn't make it right (IMHO), but it does make it different.
You probably wouldn't see that red if you would take off those glasses. You should probably ask your doctor about that yellow around your midsection as well.
I gotta tell ya, it isn't as easy to validate data as you might think. There are some strange names out there, and the minute you make it too stringent someone will roll along with a name like "Ã¥esop D'Jord the 2nd" and you'll get a support call.
I blame the inequality of the current system. Give H1B's more rights and this becomes a level playing field. As it is, companies have h1b's by the balls.
Wow. First a troll mod on a guy that states a differing opion, then an insightful mod on a "think my way or gtfo" with an ad-hominem tossed in response.
Pretty hypocritical if tolerance is the basis for your righteous indignation, no?
And C is the best engine. It outperforms anything. I would not build a house out of engine. A language is not limited by its most compelling feature(s).
Do you write perl projects in Visual studios? If so, please let me know your setup (visual perl, etc), if not, STFU.
Perhaps not all (there may be plugins I'm not aware of) but most of what you mentioned exists in VI either inherent or through plugins (refactoring, file management, and version control integration, even intellisense). Granted, some of these aren't as feature rich implementations, but they are there. It also sports some features that VS does not have, like more advanced code folding, more language support, and some of the capacities from the command line are just fantastic. I use both on a regular basis.
It may not be statistically significant, but there is such a thing. In 3 years I've gotten 2 promotions and several merit raises, and I'm making 47% more than I was when I started(straight out of college). I'm about to start a new job for a different company for an additional 13% more money.
These smart people will be associated, rationally, with the company for which they work. If they are so smart they could certainly find a job elsewhere. The slippery slope murder argument doesn't belie our culpability, be it small or significant, in the entities we choose to serve.
I tried that once, but typing something that long quickly over and over becomes quite frustrating, especially since you can't verify that you did it right and sometimes get locked out if you type it wrong too many times on a system.
Come on, lets think of a sustainable solution. What about electric cars, flex fuels, hydrogen?
I don't want the government tracking me through gps, so there needs to be a different way to get a usage based metric to fund the building/maintaining of roads, unless we want a flat tax. Tolls might work well along with flat city taxes for city street usage.
What? You just did a feature comparison between the coffee mug and the thermal mug, why can't you do it for the iphone and any other comparable mobile phone? Many of us are honestly interested.
They were just antagonizing me up I had to kill 15 extra mobs for the last random drop for a quest item. I think a little torture of an npc is more than fair.
the cultural stigma that still surrounds abortion is a vestige of the religious fundamentalism that dominated our culture in the past.
Or, perhaps it's a more primal urge to not kill off our own kind. Associating it with religion to me appears as an attempt by you to dismiss the other side's argument out of hand. To view the growth of a human in such a snapshot manner is myopic at best, dishonest at worst. When cows have an anticipated development path to become a part of the human race you'll have an argument with which I can relate.
OTOH, I completely agree with your take on anonymity.

Those who value life (battery) over freedom deserve neither.
Yeah, it's not like pcs were ever hooked up to phone lines or anything.
only be effective, affection has little to do with it.

Do you have any basis for calling the father a "gun nut" ?

"Real programmers" love Visual Basic
No they don't.
Reagan showed that it was possible to stimulate activity by lowering taxes
yeah, that and ramping up the federal deficit. http://zfacts.com/p/318.html
Different spin on the same logic, pass the problems down to the next generation.

I guess that just reinforces the ignorance behind those who are offended by obscenity.
And it was awesome. I hope they implement it in D3, sans the hacks kill me in town.

There is no such thing as "climbing the ladder"

you must be new here. Don't feed the trolls.

Just remember, whenever the government does something stupid, you are part of the stupidity as their employer (assuming you're American.)
