    Another new programmer comes along and reads the comment and misunderstands what the code is doing

    I hope you're better at reading code than you are at comprehending English.

    Which means that as soon as the Muslims adopt Humanism a bit more enthusiastically that should work fine too.

    They better hurry up. While the thirty years' war was indeed an absolute disaster, they didn't have nuclear weapons back then.

  6. Can somebody (or some body) explain why this is "equitable"?

    How did it leave them unable to heat their homes? No override, no bypass?

    And there was a great amount of both interest and motivation in assimilating back then because no one cared much whether cultures were being oppressed or not, so you assimilated or you failed to thrive.

    Exactly. It was fit in or fuck off. Now the UK is rearranging the school year so the poor muzzy-wuzzies don't have to do their exams during ramadan because they'll be tired and hungry, diddums.

    I can see a similar need in hardware - a set of copyleft hardware, firmware and 3D printer designs that anyone can use as a base for an innovative product while sharing improvements to reusable components.

    That would definitely be a game shifting paradigm change.

  14. I'm trying to work out whether you meant after 1970, and I really can't. Time to stack them Zees, methinks.
