The one that gets me is climate change. It seems that the Republicans took that up as a political issue only so that they could oppose the Democrats on it.
As I understand it (and I am not a lawyer, nor am I any other type of legal expert, nor am I a consumer of marijuana), even in a state that has legalized marijuana, the federal government could at any time arrest and incarcerate someone found possessing or selling the drug. They simply choose not to.
Sure, but who's to say that software patents aren't in the public interest? Yes, you and I, but we're hardly the majority, aren't we? All those people receiving paychecks thanks to the patent license fees might have different views...
Yep, software patents should go. I say this as a guy who currently holds two software patents. However, until that happens, it's the responsibility of the corporate officers to extract value from the patents that a corporation holds. So, lobby for change in patent law, but don't blame Microsoft for acting like a corporation.

If Eclipse's usability depends on some future hypothetical Microsoft-developed plug-in, then it's unusable now, and nothing of value will be lost. In this scenario, the only value that can be extinguished is the value that Microsoft created...
I dunno. What with GitHub's management all leaving, culture change and all that, plus the debacle over the code of conduct, I don't think GitHub's position is unassailable.
Think is, as Raymond would say, you're already on the other side of the hatchway. If you can write arbitrary malicious DLLs in the user's downloads folder, then why not just patch the.exe you find there?
This is pretty disingenuous. The fact that each distribution generally has teams of people maintaining distro-specific (and even version-specific) patches to applications to make them work pretty much disproves your argument.
I'm no fan of Obama (I lean conservative, even though I would *never* claim to be Republican, and I have only ever voted for a Democrat once), but I think that if an election were going to be canceled in favor of martial law, it would've been in 2007...
Cisco's old VPN client isn't compatible. Wasn't compatible with 8.1, or 8 either, though. Wasn't very compatible with 7, for that matter. Never tried it in Vista, but the last OS Cisco supported it on was XP. Around here, we're set to move off of it "very soon". That's the only piece of software I can think of off the top of my head.

I think GP meant he polls better against Trump than Clinton polls against Trump. See also: Condorcet criterion.
Storing cryogenic liquids is a hard problem. Even in space, they boil off.
As it is, there are many places in this country where people have to drive 100 miles to the closest grocery store.

Maybe, if your definition of "grocery store" is "Wal-Mart". If it is, however, I am sad for you.

That's not really what most would consider "Powershell", though, is it?

They're equally unavailable to me.
Well, there isn't really the Chip, not yet, anyway.

IE6 was highly exploitable in its default configuration, did that make it simply a feature?
Uh, if my browser silently downloads (executable!) files without me knowing, yeah, that's a compromise.

If you like NoSQL, but still want ACID... there is always MarkLogic.
I just threw up in my mouth a little. MarkLogic makes me think of ColdFusion.
Thank you thank you!

Are we sure that the law isn't referencing a BUILDING? The way I read it, it's talking about lying your way into a colo facility or some such.
It was good enough that the C++11 standard added it (except they used "auto" instead of "var").
Swift is catching up, though. Right on VB's tail, now.

I believe they use Xen.
