I'm so tired of Americans boasting about their artillery, claiming they'd be ready when push comes to shove. You wont and never will be, you are only making things worse by making everyone around you scared because you are running around like some random commando, causing those around you to think they need to arm up.
The times where citizens could rise up against a tyrant in the civilized world is long gone; it cannot happen and will not happen, mostly because we in fact don't have tyrants around, secondly, because you would starve to death within a very short time frame. Back in the olden days people knew how to get the essentials for waging war - weapons are for brief times of highly hectic actions, war is about having the necessary items for upkeep, mainly water and food.
Do you know how to get drinkable water in down town LA? Do you know how to slaughter an animal for food (and even find one?) - could you sustain an army of thousands of rebellions to fight off your evil government? Yes some of the US hillbillies would actually be able to survive in the outbacks for prolonged periods, but they aren't trying to fight a war while doing it - there is no way a rebellion could ever succeed in current times.
At some point the US will start to realize police don't need that kind of force in most part of the civilized world - and realize that this ties with your liberal gun laws. Allow everyone to own a gun means police has to assume everyone has one.
Yes here in dangerous Denmark, guns are outlawed, which means only outlaws carry guns, but guess what - this is in fact not such a big deal, most assaults are committed with bike stands (no I'm not kidding); get caught with a gun means 1 year in jail (minimum), get caught with a knife (any knife which is in fact a bit of a problem) means 7 days in jail. This has actually lead to criminals switching to carry items that aren't weapons by design, but by use (hence bike stands, since Copenhagen is all about biking around, leading to this being an readily available commodity).
Now being hit by a club is never fun, but you will more than likely survive - being shot or stabbed on the other hand will often lead to all sorts of problems. You guys need to realize how stupid your right to bear arms really is.
Also, just simply look around outside - most "hip" people aren't running around with iPhones any longer, it's all Android.
Couple of years back sitting in the daily commute would half about half using iPhones, today, I see perhaps one with an iPhone. Even avid Apple supporters are giving in to the ease of use of Android.
Indeed at my last job every promotion meant more responsibility, but also had to do my old job. Was fun for a while, but you can easily get yourself killed with the stress.
Personally I'm done with chasing that career, a job paying enough for me to pursue my hobbies is all that I need.
Anyone going for a career out there should do it by changing job, internal advancement is a killer.
I care, the picture sure is a lot better on blue-ray, however! I'm still buying DVD, why? Because, while blue-ray is clearly supperior they are also vastly more expensive and I'm just not willing to fork over about 50% more.
Also, while BR might offer more features, I don't think consumers care - personally I've never watched any of the additional features on my DVD and it pisses me off when BR is spending time loading data - I just want to watch the frigging movie!
At what point is seasoning pure? Do you have to grow them yourself? If not, how can you be sure they haven't been subject to fierce selection and/or pesticides?
Erm, no. First of all, China and Russia are by no means friends, the only place close to China where they can feasibly expand is Russia.
Also, throughout history no one has managed to keep a country occupied, the local residents has historically always fought the invaders, yes it might be "interesting times" for a while, but there is no way they would be able to do anything meaningful.
The US wont go into war, if the US tries to fight everyone a delegate from China will approach the US in the same manner the US approached the UK just before they lost their colonies. Back then the US pointed out that if the UK went into war they would default their loans, suddenly the UK had no real power. If the US started to threaten everyone China would just default the US loans - this would kill the dollar, which would halt all export to the US, including food, try waging war without food...
Here in Denmark non-competes are almost non-existant for that exact reason - employer must make a list of companies the employee cannot work for at the latest the last day of work and employer (well former at this point) must pay the employee whatever he or she is losing out on, so if you where making 20.000 a month and you can only get a job paying 5.000 due to the non-compete the former employer must pay the difference for the duration of the non-compete.
Also, there will usually be requirements that the employer pays for re-education for the employee at the end of the period since the employee at this point might have lost vital edge.
I grew up with quite violent video games, and I must say there is some truth to what these guys are saying - I may not want to go out on a rampage, but I sure am emotionally distanced from bad stuff. Granted, might just be a defect or lack of good care - or it may stem from games, but I sure as hell lack a lot when it comes to "normal" emotions.
They aren't using cylindical forms because they want to, but they have to to contain the pressure. Trust me, they complain a lot about the space lost due to cylindical containers.
Interestingly, here in Denmark, police welcome these kinds of apps. They are not in the business of writing tickets, but they try to make roads safer; if an app alerts that there's a speed trap on some major highway, that means a full afternoon of *most* people driving like they should have been.
During high drinking seasons (Christmas and Easter for instance) they are always out in the newspapers warning people that they will be making more checks and focusing on this.
But of course, for this to make sense it requires the police to be in the business of preventing and not collecting.
I've never encountered this problem with Java libraries - using eclipse will enforce camel case in your own program. What exactly are you referring to?
As a rule of thumb, snipers do NOT want to use a laser for sighting. First of all, it tells the target it's being a target, secondly it gives the enemy a heck of a lot of help locating your position.
But SMS does cost carriers money, quite a lot of money. In order to handle peak time SMS, for instance New Years, they need extreme amount of additional sleeping capacity, the hardware for this needs to be paid at some point, thus requiring a certain price.
Most MVNOs are paying around 12 Ãre/SMS ($0.022) here, but competition dictates prices around 1-2 Ãre. This has nothing to do with being short sighted, but the fact that there are some 20 competitors working the same 3 networks which makes competition cut-throat.
How many windows programs have you actually bothered with the manual for?
Most programs written for windows are using the same guidelines, especially if they have made it big. This means most of what you look for are sort of named the same and put in the same neighbourhood of menus between programs.
While absolutely right, also totally way off the mark depending on the market.
The US market is very peculiar, so you might be spot on there, but over here in the EU where there is competition, SMS are in most cases free, even though they do as you point out actually cost quite a bit to service, the competition here is just so fierce you can't charge anything meaningful for them.
I used to work for a carrier and trust me, there is nothing we would like more than to have our users stop using SMS and MMS and move everything into cheap data.
We even welcomed VoIP clients like Skype - we couldn't care less how you contact the outside world, only thing we care about is how calls arrive at your phone.
You would have to have a very narrow beam on each link, else there will be collisions.
The problem isn't making a link in Crete, it's having someone in Libya drag 850m. of cable with repeaters up a mountain and put up a dish with no outside assistance in Libya.
Would probably be far cheaper and easier to have air force drop in a sat-link to someone there.

Steam has a lot of games, just download the client and look for yourself, it's free.

Perhaps because Apple can't actually supply equipment for said masses - they need to keep them hungry while they figure out their supply chains.
Denmark: less than $10 for 1GB plan and no overcharge, but you will be shaped to something akin to 1990 internet when you hit the 1GB cap.
Watch waiting for Superman, they show you some of the issues with the US educational system.

Because the "room" they are shading is rather large, think universe size.
Also, since the Phong shading did the trick why bother?

Or 88.000 families inputting names of missed ones in a form simultaneously? Even with congested database backend this wouldn't take more than an hour.

Well they are sort of right aren't they?
How many windows programs have you actually bothered with the manual for?

So you claim that if I break any copyrights I just have to go into hiding for 3 years and then I'm free?

Yeah, I hardly ever check the mailbox, once a week tops - unless I'm expecting something.
