They might sneak it in via a Smartphone that is secretly always listening, or like Samsung has done with their TVs/monitors, but I will never knowingly buy one of these Orwellian pieces of shit.
That's software, these are laws. Turns out we use ridiculously old laws in an ongoing fashion - pretty much for the same reason that Joel specifies in that article.
I'm going to assume that pressing you for specifics is just going to result in more evasion. If you would like to identify a particular piece of the constitution that you feel is outdated so that we can discuss it, I'll be happy to pick this back up.
We have an exact mechanism for re-writes and revisions. It has been used 27 times so far, with the most recent amendment completing ratification in 1992 (after 202 years).
Which piece, exactly, do you feel is in need of a re-write? What general form would you like to see the modification take? No cop outs here - the 27th amendment was finally pushed through by a 19-year old sophmore college student (who was pissed that he got a C for saying that the amendment could be passed). If you think you've got something that will pass the process, let's hear it.
1. It replaces hard-on-the-body manual labor (long hours bent over, sun & sunburn & skin cancer, etc) by using a robot to pull weeds.
2. It delivers targeted doses of herbicides, hopefully reducing the enormous amount of Glyphosate(*) currently used AND reducing Monstanto's ridiculous amount of control over the farm industry.
* - Over 90% of all glyphosate produced and used EVER has been in the past 20 years. 70% in just the last 10. Food today is NOT the same as it was in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. Do you trust Monsanto to proactively limit the amount of Roundup you consume?
Human 'bad actors' are only one source of adverse conditions for computing. Many security features double as stability and error-checking features. I think that the author's question is ultimately a silly one because of Hanlon's Razor - "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity". I think most people have seen terrifically destructive users who had no malicious intent behind their actions. Even in a utopia, humans are still human.
I didn't find the grammar rules weird at all. Mind you, I fit your description of an English-as-first-language speaker. I'd like to compare notes with you.
Subject goes 1st. Verb goes 2nd. Every time. Conjugation is detailed but generally very predictable. There are some oddballs like "Gern" and "Doch" thrown in. The worst part for me was noun gender, but since German is the only language I speak that uses gender on nouns that makes some sense. I'm told it is far less hard to deal with for most other European speakers, since all of the Romance languages use gendered nouns as well as most German-related languages. Let's not talk about Finnish or Hungarian.
What parts of German, especially Grammar, did you find to be particularly bad?
You've also described German (for the most part). It's not 100% perfect, but they have a council (the RdR) that continues to scrub out weird historical spellings. Every year they get closer to perfect.
No. Your point? Certainly I could have been more precise, but did you honestly not glean my meaning?
For the pedants in the room: Sourceforge hosting installers which then download additional malicious code from elsewhere cannot reasonably claim that their site is safe.
This doesn't sit well with me, since (again) it appears that the decision has been made to ignore the Malware linked but not directly hosted on Sourceforge. Of course network admins are going to keep blocking Sourceforge - it's not safe yet.
Giving projects a workaround to install Malware means Sourceforge continues to be blocked on the networks I control. If you haven't seen it, the workaround is in allowing a project to use an installer that downloads additional code during the installation process. Sourceforge has opted to put tiny yellow text next to the download button with innocuous sounding language. I can only assume that Sourceforge has decided to continue hosting these projects despite knowing that they are dangerous due to either financial concerns or a lack of care.

No. The third bomb (earmarked for Tokyo) was the last one for which materials could be put together for to make in August. Output during September was projected to produce another 3 bombs and then the same in October.
Three per month is especially bad when you consider that, after the very beginning of the campaign, the military on the receiving end would have learned the critical importance of shooting down otherwise insignificant-looking air formations.
I love that they are banking on people being able to interrupt others' trains of thought as a major benefit of this transition. Anything that helps them die faster.
Is there really a problem with News people telling you that their In-Laws are from Albebaran? Other than the Pizzagate story and the constant stream of lies from the Lunatic-in-Chief, what blatant whole-cloth falsehoods have been put out there?

I agree with your list, with one addition. I've used boards from all of these brands (plus a few I won't mention):
Asus > Tyan > Gigabyte > MSI > ASRock

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

This is an awesome job for AI robots. Either:

I love watch - "ArmBandUhr". Why yes, I suppose a watch IS an arm-band-clock.

Nope, not at all. That seems like an absurd conclusion to jump to from what I wrote.
SourceForge is simply lumped in with all of the other "free" download sites on the internet, as is befitting the risk profile they present.
No. Your point? Certainly I could have been more precise, but did you honestly not glean my meaning?
