No shit. I remember when the petition to end DEA persecution of medical marijuana patients was the top item, and some reporter asked him about it. Motherfucker just snickered about it, despite it being one of his bullshit campaign promises. Thanks for nothing, asshole.
People use coal, gas and oil because they deliver more power for the money than alternatives in many applications. We'll switch when the cost curves cross, the same way we shifted from wood to coal.
None of these are fiat money. They are all examples of money that people accepted voluntarily. Fiat money is that which government compels us to accept in lieu of things that we value.
Gold has many properties that make it an excellent money commodity. Go and look up what they are before you embarrass yourself further.
That's a goddamned lie. If anything, they're paying too damned much. They should be far more proactive in minimizing their tax payments, the way that GE does.
Apple has a duty to their shareholders (like me) to keep as much of our money out of government's greedy hands as possible.
Protip: your argumentam ad veracundiam is probably lot more persuasive on people who haven't had direct personal experience of what a steaming pile C++ is. Been there, done that, won't do it again.
So, I just tried it on a completely fresh install, and I was able to reproduce the bug. No idea why it didn't manifest on any of my existing installations.
I would expect that the relevant teams at Apple will push an update to fix this in a day or two at the most. In the meantime, you can work around this from any administrator account by setting a password on the root account ( open a terminal window, enter "sudo passwd root", and follow the prompts.)
I've tried to reproduce it on three different machines, all on the latest beta, and it's not happening for me. From what I've seen, it doesn't appear to be remotely exploitable, so it's only an issue if an attacker has physical access to your machine.
At typical commercial flight altitudes and speeds, there's a massive heat sink available at all times. The atmosphere is very cold, and it's going past the aircraft at very high speed.
Go fuck yourself. I've had enough painful experience with Stroustrup's debacle to dismiss any pretense at competence in language design on his part. -jcr

They responded to a pro-marijuana legalization petition ..and that's why Obama took marijuana off of schedule 1, right?
Oh wait: he didn't do that. In fact, he did precisely fuck-all about marijuana, like the useless stoner hypocrite he's always been.

That's all they need, another statute to violate the people's rights. This is one that they don't even have a way to enforce.

FWIW, about 2/3 of all the energy we use globally goes into heating and cooling. The lion's share of the rest is transportation.

The hell I'm not. I can read English, and the language of the bill of rights is not ambiguous.

It is forbidden by the fourth and fifth amendments to the constitution. Any official exercising any of these usurped powers violates their oath.

Germany already had to overthrow two totalitarian regimes in the 20th century. They sure as hell don't need another one.

Guns make it possible to resist governments, as you well know. That's why you're afraid of them.

Bullshit. Taxes are what makes it possible for governments to murder people en masse.

As it turns out, I did just reproduce it on a fresh install that I updated to today's beta.
