  1. No, war crimes exist because the whole point of war is to change the boundaries of jurisdiction. Jurisdiction can always be determined.

    But he wasn't in US jurisdiction, so it is possible no crime was committed.

    And a videotape might not clearly indicate whether that bullet you shot was shot in self defense.

    Laws only tell you what you cannot do. People will do whatever they want regardless.

  5. And the reality is that the US so-called justice system applies unevenly along with its civil portion. There is no we when it comes to this.

    We have lots of museums strewn all over. We can even tour our government buildings. Some plants arrange tours. So, Ha!

    I know, breaking shipping out to its own column is stupid and some vendors on Amazon and eBay set it to different values including free. I aggressively shop for the lowest total value on both sites.

    These companies trade service for eyeballs and clicks for cash

    No, being critical of other countries while appearing unaware of the sins of your own is naive and sad, not ironic.

    No it isn't, just that their bias is useful. I have very little bias so I don't get a vote.

    You can buy VR goggles you slide your cell into, and use the camera to view the outside world and your other screens. Switching back to phone mode is quick and painless. You can even buy all sorts of bluetooth controllers. I prefer ones for each hand that resemble Nintendo nunchuck controllers

    I'm a 40-year old on disability, you insensitive clod and FB and Twitter have a place alongside Slashdot and Digg to keep me connected to the world. I am consuming more and more and trying to get my parents out of the 20th century. I am working to get off disability, though. http://hackwrench.tripod.com/ and http://github.com/hackwrench

    It doesn't add much beyond traditional first person oriented gaming. I bought VR goggles for my smartphone and it has little coolness factor. What we really need is AR apps... and Cyberman suits.

  16. That's how films get made! I'm working on the next Tron.

  17. Re:other fallacies though on Is Python Really the Fastest-Growing Programming Language? (stackoverflow.blog) · · Score: 1

    The article doesn't deal with communities that more adequately handle user issues, like the QuickBASIC-variant community.

  18. Good languages have shim parameters for interfacing with any and all binary libraries.

  19. QB64 has those and multimedia support.

  20. Give your "good" reasons why Ada and Modula-2 aren't that popular. I use QB64's variant of QuickBASIC, which has almost everything you could want built-in.
