This is the dictionary definition of looking a gift horse in the mouth. Someone offers you another copy of your book for free, and your are pissed off. If it's really that onerous and awful, here's a thought: don't take that free thing you are being given.
What did he steal? It's not a currency, the whole point of bitcoin is that it doesn't have any of the usual financial protections. Now people find out that there's a downside.
Well, the alternative is to either sell a real product, OR sell nothing while waiting for Valve vaporware. Guess what really companies that really have to stay in business do.
Ah yes. The old "central planning" argument. Just like the former Soviet Union. Remember how Khrushchev told us that the USSR would wave as they passed the capitalist USA? How'd that turn out?
The Chinese. Right. Because they have rovers on Mars... uh... because they have orbiters around Saturn... uh... because they have probes in interstellar space... uh... because they have space telescopes... uh... because they have a mission to Pluto... uh...
Because not everyone thinks the same. Why do people drive different cars? Why do people pick different jobs? Why do some people live in the country and other in Manhattan? Welcome to the real world.
Maybe you missed the Boston Marathon bombings? The police have a choice. They can ignore warnings, suspicious packages, etc, and we can just accept that major cities are going to lose a few thousand people each year. Or they can react to EACH threat. They don't have 20-20 hindsight.
Nonsense. I know plenty of "qualified Americans" who have a hell of a time finding work in the current economy. And if you think H1-B's are being paid the same as local, you're crazy.
Yes. I had to read the summary a couple of times because I couldn't believe it was saying what it was saying. "I tried to find an app that prevents me from playing Russian Roulette, but I just couldn't get one, so here goes"
Yeah. Because back in the 70s, NASA was landing rovers the size of SUVs on Mars. And had orbiters around Saturn. And probes in interstellar space. And a mission to Pluto. And...
Remind me, what did the Romans ever do for us again?
If all Obama does is sign an executive order, the fire under Congress to control this activity is gone, and the next president can easily undo it. How about keeping the heat on Congress to pass legislation?

See, that was easy.

If your country was a one party state that got nervous any time someone mentioned current events, then you might be worried too.
Nope, Iraq invaded a neighboring country. You must be confused with Russia grabbing Crimea.
... it didn't meet and fuse with an alien probe of immense power designed to bring back sterilized soil samples, we're ok.

You don't get it, do you. If you were in China, this discussion wouldn't be happening, and simply for posting here you could be in jail.
Yeah, we weren't landing SUV sized rovers on Mars 40 years ago.
Ah yes. The old "central planning" argument. Just like the former Soviet Union. Remember how Khrushchev told us that the USSR would wave as they passed the capitalist USA? How'd that turn out?
call me back when they do something the USA didn't do 40 years ago

Try again.
I have bad news for you. Reading code is tedious. Period. You think crawling thru a bunch of files trying to relate functions is any easier?
gack. Perl is one of the few things that make Excel look good.
damn, where's my mod points when I need them

That's a wonderful attitude... "boy, those users are SO stupid, I guess we can treat them like crap".

Cost.
Good lord... someone stop you for speeding recently?
Yes, you think you are driving fine. Drunk drivers also think they are driving fine. You aren't.
Yes. I had to read the summary a couple of times because I couldn't believe it was saying what it was saying. "I tried to find an app that prevents me from playing Russian Roulette, but I just couldn't get one, so here goes"
Damn... where are my mod points to mod you up when I need them :(
