Dirt roads, no municipal water (everyone had cisterns), no electricity.
Thailand has come a long way, no doubt. But parts of it are still pretty funky and everyone still wants to sell you his sister for 30 baht. Its still kind of fucked up.
Okay first, two things: Other countries are doing this too.
And blah, blah blah. You sound exactly like the sheep that go on about "Well, if you're doing nothing wrong...", an argument I always reject out of hand.
I'm just going by memory here but it seems like I've been hearing about pilots dying behind the stick a lot lately. Or maybe they are dying at a constant rate but I'm more aware of it. I dunno.
When you lose your job, please remember these words of wisdom, and submit no job applications, resumes, or talk to anyone about your skills and abilities.
I completely understand your point, but I really think putting resume submission in the advertising column is a bit of a stretch. Ads are mostly unsolicited. I rarely go around shoving my resume into the hands of random pedestrians.
I don't think so. Scheme has enough issues to where I'd rather use lisp if I feel the need to go the functional route (object-oriented model is horribly mis-defined if not out and out plain broken, whomever implements that language needs to understand how valuable "standard" structures like arrays and hash tables are, and I know some love the multiple return types but I think they're a huge pain in the ass.)
Unlike the Open Graphics Project, this is starting from a working 2D accelerator and mostly working 3D accelerator cloning the features of the Number Nine Ticket to Ride hardware.
Not surprising since one of the reasons Number Nine closed its doors was its failure to embrace 3D acceleration quickly. Still, this is a good thing and I would love to see some one add some really cool graphics to an ARM SoC or something. Wouldn't it be cool to see some hot gfx action out of a system the size of a USB stick?
...who was homosexual and thus perhaps unlikely to have actually fathered the next generation.
Philipe, Duke of Orleans, brother to Louis XIV, the most powerful Duke of the Realm, was flamingly homosexual and didn't even try to hide it. Still, he married twice (to women), and had four children; Marie Louise, later to become the Queen of Spain, Anne Marie, who became the Queen of Sardinia, Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, who would serve as Regent of France, and Élisabeth Charlotte, who would become the Duchess of Lorraine. He was also a very crafty duke, his sexual peccadillos not withstanding, having commanded several victorious battles, and through his 3 daughters has genes sprinkled thorughout several of the royal houses of Europe.
I guess I'm of the old school, when I say I'll do something, I do my level best to do it. I guess I'm not down with the new norm of "I'll deliver what I promise as long as its convienient."
So I'm to imply what "paycheck to paycheck" means? You (not YOU in particular, but the generic "you") make the claim, you need to specify what you're talking about. I'm not going to infer or define the arguments for others. Living "paycheck to paycheck" is very subjective.
MOST people in the US live pay check to pay check.
Not true. If we define living "paycheck to paycheck" as poverty level, that number is about 12%. Above that you need to check your claims very carefully.
I agree with you, to a certain extent. But in an ostensibly capitalist country it neesd to be ok to be a capitalist, otherwise the people with the capital flee the country. I think if taxes were simplfied rather than remain the incredibly complex morass of laws and regulations we have now, we might have a better chance at collecting them.
Are we, as a people, comfortable with the current level of power the executive branch and all its little tentacles in state and local jurisdictions has, and appears to be gaining? Is there no legitimate reason to give the individual ANY protection from them? I say emphatically yes indeed, and opinions and attempts to take away what little he/she has left are heinous and to be fought with extreme vigour. Its every citizen's duty to reject the constant encrouchment of the Fed on our rights. Haselton has swallowed the blue pill with the kool-aid.
...racist crowd who demand everything be done domestically and think that foreigners are inferior.
What are you, a child? Outsourcing labor to other countries is about MONEY, and no other reason. If you think it has ANYTHING to do with rascism you need to put down your comic book, put away the skatebaord, put on your big-boy pants, and figure out how the world really works.

It might have been a scholarly F-U to Linus, if so, why would they fix it?
The question may be whether the internet should die and be replaced by something better.
Simply implementing ipv6 isn't going to cut it for you?
EXACTAMUNDO.
with as much oversight and citizens' understanding as there can be
I can't think of a more condescending tone. I love how the state always knows best.
A dictator implies 1 leader calling all the shots. What you actually have is an oligarchy...
Yeah, that makes it sound a lot better.
Yes, people need to be jailed for the things they say.
It would be nice if java supported something like typedefs.

No one mentioned the obvious; sounds like another fusion success story. Or am I way off base here?

Locking your education system to anything that uses Delphi is a sure sign that your both corrupt and incompetent.

Do I'd check that ignorance if I were you.
Well, doesn't the world just owe you?

Cry me a river, and all that.
How are state subsidies to people who don't need them 'capitalist'?
Don't need them? You ever start a company, with the potential to employ people? I thought not. Protip: It takes a lot of money.
