Just like the H1B program, it sounds like a good idea, and it might even have some legitimate applications, but in practice it would be abused. Other countries would use it as a way to get rid of politicians they don't want. Do you want Silvio Berlusconi, Jaroslaw Kaczynski and Mohamed Morsi sitting in the Senate?
On the other hand, the Chinese would drive down the cost of bribery so low that any middle-class household would be able to afford its own Congressman.
That CNET article is just a summary of the one in USA Today. Both of them are pretty light on information.
Does anybody know (or at least want to take a guess) how this shit's supposed to work? How do you store this unique ID without using cookies, or something that works just like cookies?
Yeah, and it's much harder when you don't even try to get another job. Too many people just assume that they're fucked and there's nothing they can do about it.
Except Ropert Murdoch has no means to compel you to stay away from competing publishers - neither by banning the competitors nor by prohibiting you to buy their wares.
And that is the key difference between a government-provided service (whether it is news, education, health care, food, shelter, or entertainment) and a privately-provided one.
The first paragraph is true. The second implies that all monopolies are created by the government, and that all government services are monopolies. Which is obviously horseshit.
Also, the US government might suck at providing education, food or shelter, but it does a fine job of providing entertainment.
Paintball guns fall under the protection of the 2nd Amendment, so they're OK. But visual representations of guns? Those are dangerous and should be reported.
Dear AC: Would you be interested in beta-testing our latest enterprise-grade cloud-based fault-tolerant software framework? It's called Broomstick Up The Ass. It sounds like you have experience with similar products, so we'd be delighted to get your input.
Your Java example is needlessly convoluted. Most people would just write this, which is only a little more verbose than your Xtend code: for (Person p: people) {
if (p.getAge() > 30) System.out.println(p); }
The NSA is a big organization. They do plenty of things that don't violate the Constitution, international treaties, or common sense.
SELinux is the least of our worries. It's not impossible to hide backdoors or vulnerabilities in an open-source product, but it is pretty difficult. And if the spooks managed to do it, they certainly wouldn't be putting their name on this product, because the people that they're really interested in are even more paranoid than you.

If I get two cheeseburgers for lunch and you get nothing, then on average, each of us got one cheeseburger.
...critics of the NSA from entering our country?
No, but I remember the time he put Ted Kennedy on the Do Not Fly List. I guess there's no danger of that happening now.
Western Hemisphere? Hell, the entire human race should go back to Ethiopia where they came from.
Unfortunately, the War on Christmas is proceeding about as well as the War on Drugs.
Not likeable, just interesting. Alex from "Clockwork Orange" sure as hell wasn't likeable, but you still wanted to see what happens to him next.

The heavy hand of big government continues to stifle the economy. Just think how many jobs they could create if they still had that $44,400.
Just what the world needs!
The ones we have are shit. If someone wants to make a better one, I'm for it.
It is pre-rendering made the world feel less immersive.
I've seen way too many people write "it's" instead of "its". But changing "its" to "it is"? That's a new one.

It's not easy to get another good job these days
Yeah, and it's much harder when you don't even try to get another job. Too many people just assume that they're fucked and there's nothing they can do about it.
Putting Lysenko on the list kind of undermines your point.

Correct. Richard Nixon was preemptively pardoned. So was Caspar Weinberger.
It's completely academic anyway. Snowden has a better chance of getting head from Hillary Clinton than getting a presidential pardon.
Where do the styrofoam rocks fit into this?

5. People will do drugs/have sex/sleep in them
Wait... is that an argument for or against?
Slashdot is usually late posting these stories. It's to be expected.

The last time King wrote a book worth reading was a decade ago.
The last time King wrote a book worth reading it wasn't a book, it was a movie directed by Stanley Kubrick, and it was more than ten years ago.
It means a developer who'll die of a smack overdose 3 days before the project deadline.

If they did it to Linux (and we still don't know for sure if they did, or what they did) then they could have done it to OpenBSD.

I'm shocked that Yahoo even has 40,322 users.
