Put down that peyote and realize that you are a human so where do you get off saying "you humans". Go read Ecclesiastes and know that every human accomplishment is meaningless in the grand scheme of things and every pleasure you seek is also meaningless. Seek god if you want to be happy. Solomon is the man who wrote Ecclesiastes and he tried to find fulfilment in every sensual pleasure, every field of learning and owning every possible possession available to him. None of that gave him true happiness. Only those who know and fear the lord will attain true happiness and fulfilment in their life.
Only the fearful and diffident shall be happy and fulfilled? Oh tell us more doubleplus good speak.
*WOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*
The point you missed is that the acquisition of "things" or seeking to experience all manners of "sensual" pleasure do not result in longterm fulfilment or happiness. Solomon had more gold that any of us will ever have. He could buy what he wanted any time that he wanted. Fear is this case would be awe,reverence or respect for the power of god. That is much different than living in paralyzing "fear". Some fear can be healthy as it helps you stay out of trouble. When you look at something like the Niagara falls in person, does it give you terror or does it cause a sense of awe? Does that feeling give you a positive sense of euphoria? Now imagine a god who created all of that awe inspiring power, other inspiring phenomenon and the universe itself. Now consider such a being caring about you personally. Wild, if you actually think about it even as a thought experiment.
I can somewhat relate to Solomon. I used to be into acquiring things and travelling around the world experiencing new things but I found that none of that ever really gave me lasting joy.
You humans are so self-centered. You think that because you are 'alive' according to your way of thinking, that being alive is ideal. Anything that 'spreads life' is a good thing.

You know, initially I was outraged, the same as you. And then it occurred to me that if you let the boys design the Christmas tree lights, eventually the White House would be adorned with 12 foot tall penis light sculptures...

Never trust anyone who calls a programmer "Superstar", "Rockstar", "Codeninja", "Gurus" or any other retarded ass term.
We're Programmers, we're Engineers, we're Coders. Anything else is insulting.
(Hackers is debatable, personally I hate being called "Hacker" because hacks are typically shitty code cobbled together to make something work. I take more pride in my work....)
Awe. Now go write those DTOs for me like a good code money while I work on the strategy classes and related factory methods and managers and put them all under the *.infrastructure namespace.
PS. Be sure to extract an interface for your database/file/stream management classes like a good little worker. It will help make the code easier to mock for unit tests.
The democrats are running scared and they want to do anything they can to keep republican and independents from voting for the Republicans because they know that the useful idiots who always vote for the Democrats will show up for their party no matter what the democrats have done wrong.
Civil liberties for whom? The Mayor of Houston is a Democrat and she does not seem to believe in the civil rights of other. She only believes in the civil right of those who agree with her.
I thought both parties were out to destroy the middle class. The difference, of course, is that Republicans want to screw to poor to help the rich, while pretending they will help the poor due to trickle down economics. Conversely, the Democrats want to appear to help the poor while sabotaging their situation is less obvious ways, such as illegal immigrants and H-1B visas to drop wages, passing large taxes (with equally large loopholes) on the rich, and aid programs that will help you while you are poor but will cease if you start improving your situation.
Sorry Mr. Democrat hack. You are following the divide and conquer method. You want to convince people who might vote Republican to stay home so your party can get our your base and keep control of the senate. Your fake neutrality does not sound convincing.
Rich democrats are out to destroy the middle class and make the working class too poor to fight back when they decide to take away all of your rights from you.
The rich have lawyers and accountants to find loopholes to keep them from paying more no matter how many taxes are raised by liberal democrats. They know that ultimately it is the middle class that suffers under more taxes and the poor get poorer as opportunities dry up but rich people like Zuckerberg do not care.
The OSX animations are awful, people have been using windowing systems for decades and completely grok what happened to the window. At most you need to a tiny fraction of a second to avoid the user overlooking the change. Please do not waste precious seconds or cause people motion sickness for your whizbang effects.
Grok? Really? It might be a word now in the dictionary but so are words like GINORMOUS and d'oh. Try using words which are in standard usage by normal people.
The iMac Retina... no. Besides not wanting to spend that much now, I'd hold off on a first generation rig like that.
Rig? Are you in the wrong forum? We are not talking about trucks here. Oh, wait, you want to try to make your gaming/facekbooking/drawing computer sound tough and industrial? Is that like how slashdotter like to call their tech jobs their "trade"? Sorry but the software industry is not a "trade". We are not blue collar but rather white collar and we do not earn a "wage" but rather a salary.
Peta actually hate and kill animals they "rescue".
Peoples Democratic Republic countries are neither run for the people or democratic.
Democrat parties are not very democratic.
Libertarians seem to want a lot of laws enshrining "gay" rights for some reason.
Progressives are not very progressive as they seem to hate free speech, protection of individuals rights of those they disagree with and seem disinterested in the needs of the poor and homeless.
Small "l" liberals are not willing to standup for values such as democracy, freedom of speech, freedom from being killed for being the wrong gender or religion when the perpetrators are muslim and start accusing those who do speak out as "racist" when Islam is a religion and not a race.
Now, now, no need to get snippy. I didn't say the muslims were right, only that the crusades should be considered a war. The war you speak of was back many centuries prior when the Rashidun Caliphate wrested control of the area from the Byzantine Empire. Ancient history and very bloody but I"m having a problem with the "100's of millions" thing. Very strong exageration that is.
Why don't you go back in time and tell that to the christians and Jews in Africa, Asia Minor and the Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhi in countries east of Iran who were killed by the Muslim Crusaders.
Well that's like saying the Crusades weren't wars.
Right and the slaughter of 100's of millions by the Muslims for centuries preceding the Christian crusades were not crusades? Maybe they weren't, after all the crusades were about taking territory back whereas what the muslims did were about converting others to islam or killing them if they refused. The Caliphate was the ISIL of that day.
You are off the rails. The FCC does not have the power to nullify the anti-wiretapping laws of states.
Fuck the state. Seriously. They work for the tax payer and should be representing the interests of tax payer rather than criminals be they individuals or corporations.
They have to do with the fact they are laughing at all the I-sheep.

The CRTC is in the pockets of companies that don't like netflix, aka cable companies.
Fire the CRTC from the top to the bottom. If they are having their salaries paid for by taxpayers but are not looking out for their interests then let them go work directly for the cable companies instead.

Not that it bothers me as I un-installed Firefox when they had their witch hunt against one of their founders. I have been using Chrome ever since.
