The point of Inform 7 is to make writing IF accessible to writers who are not programmers. At it's best, describing the geography, fixtures and objects, it lets the game maker think in a far more literary way about the world she's creating. By contrast constructing a list of interlinked data-structures can exercise the logical brain whilst turning off the creative one.
If you're more a programmer than a writer, then Inform 6 probably is more comfortable. But hey, Inform 6 didn't go away. It's still there in the Inform 7 IDE. And there's all the other tools such as the Skein that makes the Inform 7 IDE such a massive step forward on the old text-editor approach.
I quite like their concept of credit where credit is due with extensions. Too often the public domain world is full of takers that don't even recognise the work that others have put in. If you resent having to type the name of the author of an extension, once per game you use it in, then it's fair to say you don't deserve the gift you've been given.
It's fair to say that Graham Nelson and friends did a fantastic job on Inform 7. They are due enormous credit.
I could still choose to keep my money in my pocket and do without whatever they're selling.
So starve to death or regress to hunter/gatherer. No everything is an optional luxury. And even if it were, your utopia is cutting down on things we can buy now, because of the monopolies and cartels. That's a bad thing not a good one.
You certainly won't be modern man driving around. No roads. And good luck keeping your property when there's no police to call in.
That's an argument for a very small, very limited government -- just big enough to prevent total monopolies.
Press a libertarian and they always reconsider. They realise that actually they DO need government. They're just small minded cry-babies who want the government to do only the things they need, and fuck what everyone else needs.
You're a useful idiot. What you don't realise is that libertarianism is a philosophy intended to help the corporations oppress you. It's not for your benefit. But you're so stupid, you believe their stories.
I don't think anyone was preventing them conversing at the bus stop. Does that mean stopping them talking to the public on mass via the press isn't a problem?
You missed "tax-payer funded" science. Clearly if they are in the public sector, they have to do what their bosses tell them or risk losing their job. Or losing the funding for their project.
Same thing happened in the US under George W Bush. NASA scientists were forbidden to talk to the media except through spin-doctors, as he wanted to censor them saying that Global Warming was indeed real.
Another dumb libertarian who believes that science should bow down to his one track idea - that government is bad. Despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Yeah, getting over twice as many votes as a party that won 56 seats in parliament is a fucking disaster.
The clue is in the party names. The SNP only stood in Scotland, and they won virtually every steat they contested. UKIP stood throughout the UK. There is no sense in which UKIP did better than the SNP. Not MPs and not votes.
The irony is that UKIP appear to be less racist too.
They try harder to hide it. But rarely a week went by during the election when one candidate or another wasn't outed for racism.
Meanwhile BNP membership is discriminated against by the police service
Good. And the adoption service too. You can't condone having racists as policemen, or racists adopting children.
Safari is an app. The Apple webview that Chome and all other apps with webview use is built on WebKit.
A browser (such as Safari or Chrome) does a fair number of other things than bookmarks. And a webview isn't just a black box. It has callbacks to the app for all manner of events, and options.
If the exploit is specifically on Chrome and not Safari, then it's probably but not definitely, Google's fault.
And it in it's turn is dwindling away to nothing. The leader resigned after the poor election results, but was brought back because they have no one to replace him.
If you're talking history, yes. If you're talking the last 50 years, then no, they are almost all Republicans. Such was the turnaround in the positioning of the parties.
So are American's allowed to join ISIS and speak their mind about it?
No.
It seems only foreign terrorist organisations are banned. Domestic ones are allowed. And yes, the KKK is a terrorist group. How else can you describe their activities as "night riders". Lynching, burning and dragging black people.
The BNP *were* a party. I don't know if their dwindling away to nothing was entirely due to the membership leak, but presumably it had a big part to play. Hopefully the same will happen to the KKK.
Of course that doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't listed in the KKK database. Either because the KKK got the number wrong or one of their members used a work number for something.

You can't even fucking read. I said:
"NASA scientists were forbidden to talk to the media except through spin-doctors"
Which is EXACTLY what happened to Hansen. Regardless of whether he went on to disobey.
Ignorant cunt.
You have no choice where there's a monopoly or a cartel. Which is the ultimate endpoint if there's not a government to stop it.
We're none of those things. You're a paranoid.
It's no surprise that someone as stupid as you is also a gun nut.

Your clear sympathy for the BNP is noted.

Even if this did otherwise come under the DMCA, there's probably an exception in the law for US security services.

Is there a statute of limitations on terrorism?
And it in it's turn is dwindling away to nothing. The leader resigned after the poor election results, but was brought back because they have no one to replace him.
If you're talking history, yes. If you're talking the last 50 years, then no, they are almost all Republicans. Such was the turnaround in the positioning of the parties.
Why would you imagine that Klansmen can't be gay?
Unless of course the 4 Republican Senators so far listed are indeed KKK members. If so the rednecks aren't quite as disenfranchised as one might hope.
Haven't heard much from Al Queda in a few years. Does that mean they're back on the Xmas card list?
So are American's allowed to join ISIS and speak their mind about it?
No.

No sympathy. Racist thugs don't deserve it.
Of course that doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't listed in the KKK database. Either because the KKK got the number wrong or one of their members used a work number for something.
No doubt all will become clear in the days ahead.
Are you, or have you ever been, a member of the Ku Klux Klan?
