You are missing the real difference between Open Source and Open API.
Open source allows the developer to dig into the internals of the implementation, modify, and simply take advantage of the knowledge source to enhance debugging, or such like. Open API's allow gives the vendor flexibility to change the implementation without breaking all of the programs written to use the API without explicit internal knowledge of the code.
You can also define an API and deliver source -- as a consumer of the API, this is often the best of both worlds, I can write to the API and get upward compatibility, but use the source to patch or work around bug, debug, etc. accepting the risk of compatibility issues if I rely on the internal source code.
Each method has advantages & disadvantages to the "vendor & developer".
Comparing Linux & MS Windows. Both have API's - The API's in linux are often known as system calls, most developers never change or care about the internals, just that these API's work well.
The problem with API's arise when the API's do not do what you want, either due to defects or simply limits on their flexibility, or vendors decide to drop support or go out of business. API's + plus protect you against this risks, API's without source expose you to considerable risk beyond your ability to control.
Better off with coal? Coal plants emit more than 10 time the radiation into the environment than a thorium based molten salt reactor would use. In fact, they emit more than 10 times the thorium than an equivalent thorium reactor would use. We cannot run out of thorium faster than we would run out of coal. The very smart designers of the molten salt reactors expected them to be thorium based, and they could be put on-line within 10 years if we had the will to do so.
Do your own research, molten salt thorium reactors actually do have the potential to change the future of energy.
I never noticed that Catholic teachers are any dumber that the average teacher, in fact they typically do a better job than public (government) schools. When Jay Leno goes jaywalking, teachers frequently give the dumbest answers of anyone.The teaching profession in the USA draws from the worst of the college bound crowd. I'm not Catholic, never went to Catholic schools, but I know non-Catholics sending their kids to Catholic schools simply to get a better education for their kids.
Catholics hold any number of silly views, fear of EM radiation does not appear to be a particularly Catholic viewpoint.
Hey Mr. Megabanker, I've booked $17 billion in new business contracts spread over the next 2 years but it costs me $4 billion in in cash right now. I need a bridge loan of $4 billion.
MegaBanker smiles and says, "Sign here. I'm buying a new summer home with my bonus"
You parse the sentence incorrectly. You can never be compelled to be a witness against yourself (constitutionally speaking). At least part of the motivation for this protection was the torturing to produce confessions, etc. But it was made an absolute protection. Subjecting this protection to "the due process of law" makes this protection mostly meaningless.
That fact is we no longer respect this constitutional limitation.
You see judge, I am a software developer, I find it convenient occasionally to have a large random data source that is reproducible. A pseudo random generator with a known seed is just not random enough.
Reagan was not the first, nor the last. Given that he had Alzheimer's, it may have even been true some of the time. Maybe the women with the password could develop a case of sudden onset Alzheimer's, or get bonked in the head.
Term limits was debated during the constitution conventional. IIRC Franklin and Jefferson were supporters and there were others. Eventually, they decided to leave it out mostly on the basis that it was not needed because the congressional pay was so low that no-one would want to stay in office overly long.
I don't care whether it comes from theblaze, huffpost , the national enquirer, or the KKK. If the the story is accurate and relevant (sufficiently interesting, funny, etc.)? If yes, the front page is fine by me. If you have a choice of sourcing the article, a less incendiary source would be a wiser choice.
Save yourself the trouble of worrying about it, the New Testament condemns homosexuality too (no stoning required though), See Rom 1:26-27, 1 Cor 6:9, 1 Tim 1:10 -- easy to understand that this is sinful in the new testament too.
Col 2:12-16, Heb 8:13, Heb 10:8-9 (and others) refer to obsoleting or replacing the old covenant with the new. Col 2:16 in particular refers to some elements of the old law and says to allow no-one to judge you re: those specifics. The reason a Christian should obey 9 of the 10 commands given in Ex:20 is not that they are in Ex:20, but that they are repeated in the new. Keeping the Sabbath is not, and is specifically excluded in Col 2:16.
You also missed Deut 18, with respect to stoning disobedient children, reading the whole passage, this is not a child who was disobedient, but disobedient and unwilling to accept correction (discipline), i.e., a rebellious child. There are also old testament passages re: killing a child that strikes his parents or reviles (curses) them.
If you write your own proxy server, you could modify the z level of content from known interstitials, maybe you could derive it from proximodo or privoxy. This would have the advantage of being unnoticed by the intersticials since you are still pulling the content,

Shame on you for posting a story like this instead of simply reporting the actual news
Let's see, the TSA authorization bill was sponsored by an R in the house a D in the senate signed into law by an R, became Federal employees due to a D advanced to choice of digital strip search or being felt-up session under a D administration.
The pattern is clear, both major parties care little about personal liberty. Like you, I am surprised to see anyone thinks that either major party cares about the constitution anymore. The R's give more lip service to some parts of the constitution, may actually care about other parts of the constitution. The D's, not so much those parts, but they have other parts they like more than the R's.
If I want to repeal the 16th amendment (the income tax), that does not mean I don't respect the constitution, I just means I want to alter it as provided by the constitution. If I decide that a don't like the 16th and refuse to pay income taxes, then it is truth that I don't really care about the constitution either, just the parts I like. It would be nice if people understand the difference.
A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, if you can get 51% to vote for taking you life, your liberty, or your property -- you lost under mob rule. What I want is a rule of law, wherein government is limited by law and in practice to the domains in which it is permitted to act. You know, like a constitutional republic for example.
Neither the Democrats or the Republicans seem to be interested in this form of governance though.
Exxon would have saved a lot of money buying and applying oil-dispersing chemicals (pretty much Dawn detergent with additives). This was a major means of responding to the spill. Beach cleanup would not be much of a problem, etc. -- Would be better environmentally in just about every way.
Rest assured Visual Source Safe has been bad, and will always be bad. However, given that as your only Source Control Option, it is still better than no source control (You just batter make sure you have traditional backups in place as well).
I fail to see how anti-virus & anti-spyware built bundled with Windows is a moment for frowning (unless you make a living detoxing Windows computers or such-like). I would think life would be better fewer botnets and DDOS attacks. My understanding is that you can still replace defender with your preferred anti-malware, or presumably defeat it entirely. Since UAC allows home "admins" to run any piece of garbage off the Internet I find it a good thing that there is at least something to avoid malware in most of these cases -- for Windows 8 at least.
I am 100% certain that it does incorporate complete antimalware functionality as that would mean I had no ability to connect to remote machines or support removable media.
I've installed Defender before and concluded that it does work reasonable well without interferring with system usage as badly as some common alternatives.
Actually the reasoning behind the poisoned fruit logic is that the consequences will be such a significant impediment to prosecution so that the police won't be tempted to use illegal methods in the first place. There are exceptions (all requiring good faith errors by law enforcement)
We had bars on the windows installed at our junior high in 1973 -- ostensibly to prevent some of the less intelligent inmates from falling out of the windows -- bars were of such low quality they was pretty much all removed by the inmates within 3 months
An even better game was spreadsheet that were passed around in a department. Someone can't load it, so you have to optimize their ram, so they add more stuff, then the first person can't load it, so another support call... Way more fun that getting a game to load on your own machine. And even better when you reach the point than QEMM tricks are no longer enough --hello EMM card upgrades.
On a serious note, Unless most of you, I wrote lots of C programs for Unix where 64K was the rule -- It was just as much fun as you might think. One program was a very flexible sort routine for large binary files -- large is a relative term, we only had a 40MB disk on Unix system. And I do mean fun -- I really enjoyed writing this kind of software -- 20+ years later, I encountered a situation where I had to sort 600+ MB binary files in windows, very similar program but in Delphi this time -- It was still fun.
When I write software these days, it's mostly low-quality stuff, just crank the handle till it's good enough -- no real attention to algorithms, etc. because the machines are powerful enough that you can't justify the expense for craftsmanship that I really enjoyed as part of programming. I don't mean my programs are bug-ridden, there is just not the sense of beauty and accomplishment that I used to enjoy.
