Yep, going into the streets sure stopped the bombs from falling.
Definitely. We're not there yet.
Back to my original point. Every war has had people protesting it. They did it in the Capitol bulding and their names began with words such as "Senator" and "Congressmen". You know, people that can actually make a difference, not people who just want their voice heard.
Well, I must concede the point here. Because I don't believe democracy is that strong in the US. "Senator" trumpts "Citizen."

Now, had your friend (who I would add is at least smarter than you, so maybe you should let him respond) been less knee-jerk, I would've been conciliatory. But as it turns out, he's just another person I had to school. If he wants to interpret my words with no forgiveness, then he got what he asked for. He made the error of saying: * "I dare you to find a war the US got involved in where there wasn't widespread protests." * "Just because a bunch of college kids on break didn't block traffic doens't mean protests didn't happen."
Well, I'm sure the Spanish-American war had some guys in the press saying, "Hmm, I think this is a bad war," and there were some old libertarian grannies protesting, but now people are getting into the streets and PROTESTING. "Widespread protests." Before the war. This is unprecedented. People taking their power into their own hands.
With WWII, Hitler was actually held up as a responsible leader, until he started invading neighboring nations. So people were against it UNTIL the Pearl Harbor frenzy, after which we went to war with popular support. And apparently we see now from FOIA documents it was somewhat staged.
Oops, another dummy who doesn't have any, down the drain. But I'm waiting, I'm giving you ALL the time in the world, and you have the entire internet... The rules are clear. Evidence or stop wasting everyone's time.
If you think you're qualified to give me a grade in history, could you please cite evidence for mass protests before those wars?
Just because a bunch of college kids on break didn't block traffic doens't mean protests didn't happen.
You just conceded you don't have any evidence. You'll give evidence for five old ladies meeting at someone's house as a "protest." When I say PROTESTS BEFORE IT EVEN BEGAN, I mean people getting into the street and making their voices heard, in protest for a coming declaration of war. When people get out into the street, even with well-educated "college kids" as you call them, traffic gets blocked. Even in a small parade that happens.
If our schoolchildren were forced to read some of the classics, I wonder how different things might be in America today.
That's a wonderful way to teach children about authoritarian regimes.
I think our populace is much smarter than previous ones, personally. Never before Iraq has such a war been protested before it even began, in the western world.
Where do you get off saying you know what is correct or not? Of course large companies subsidize mistakes with their profits. But the trick is not making too much of an expensive mistake, or one that kills the golden goose, as many companies have done before.
Netscape could subsize their own mistakes with VC money and IPOs, but their mistakes were far too fatal and boneheaded.
No, you're a fucking idiot. Child porn is rarely a laughing matter.

You have chosen to do a "real-world" approach, which is interesting, but you spin it as if it's the only or best approach. Instead, it's one approach, with a set of tradeoffs.
Meanwhile we also give them a decent introduction to software engineering (using Ian Sommerville's book, which is quite comprehensive) and make sure they understand the basics of all relevant development phases. We guide them through requirements engineering, architecture design etc.
This is the part I disagee with. The MIT course doesn't seem to be about "process." Self-proclaimed software engineers have burned programmers with outdated methods like the Waterfall, stolen from completely different engineering disciplines. Instead, the MIT coursenotes talk about design issues. The order of things like requirements gathering is left up to the engineer because there isn't enough timeless knowledge yet to force students early in their lives into modes of thinking.
Remind me, since when did companies have a legal or ethical obligation to release the source for any of their work?
You're missing that Gnu is an organization which is all about ethics. You could just as well say, "Since when did lawyers have an ethical obligation to work pro bono?" but there are lawyer groups who do this for ethical reasons. I've known some who felt obliged to do this with their lives.
First of all Python is not superior, from what I've seen so far it is a nice pascal OO successor with a little bit of lisp and other languages blendet in, nothing really new.
"New" does not mean superior.
No explizit varables and types (which I would consider unsafe for bigger projects)
By that I believe you mean no explicit, static typing. Instead of telling the compiler, "Here are some types, tell me when there's a type error," you tell it, "Here's my unit tests, tell me if there's an error."
it is just another OO scripting language which gets more hype than it deserves.
Do you program in python? Because it's not an "OO scriping language." It supports OO, but there's no reason to use OO if you don't want it.
LCDs allow your working space be more changable. This is the same reasoning behind Apple making desktop computers easier to carry; you don't want to be chained to the same desk. Plus, LCDs are much better on the eyes -- if you really start using them, it's painful to go back to CRTs.
And where did you experience other nations' health care? Or are you making this up? I've experienced the US' and a more social system. I'd enjoy if you could tell me about your experiences.

Anyway, enough fun for me. 'nite, friends.
If you think so. Where is your evidence, now?

He warned you he was controversial.
Common Lisp and Scheme are very different. If you encountered it in college, it was Scheme. Lisp has no bias for recursion; it is multiparadigm.
Slime for emacs is very good, kind of like Dr. Scheme. But it's hard to compare too closely of course.
I'm sure there was an end_of_bottle error signalled somewhere. Only the incompetent programmers have to die. Thank god for the shampoo industry.

Mind telling us in a diary or future post how much you were able to get from the referrer? Just curious, I'm thinking of testing this out myself.
Yeah, don't you just hate when people give you information?

You know it fits your challenge; you didn't ask for projects under active dev. Troll.
You want one under dev? Emacs.

Have you ever experienced another country's free healthcare system? I have, as well as America's system, and I think you're talking out your ass.
