This would have to be a VERY well organized conspiracy. (Which alone should debunk this theory. Government is too inept to pull something like this off.)
Knocking "the government" without evidence is itself a fairly paranoid thing to do.
I would say that governments were actually pretty good at covering things up, so your argument is not a strong one.
Yeah, you subtly flirt; but that creepy guy over there annoying that woman with crude sexual innuendos and inappropriate invasioin of her body space is...oh you're looking in a mirror.
When they came home they asked me if we could get Minecraft. I told them, "of course not - go outside and build a treehouse. Get some sunshine while you're at it".
Because, of course, there's no possibility of kids both playing Minecraft sometimes, and playing in the woods at other times. It has to be one or the other, for ever.
If you want to say something racist, sexist, homophobic (etc) no one's stopping you, but you can't complain when you're called racist, sexist or homophobic, and you certainly can't force people to take you seriously if that's how you present yourself.
If you genuinely believe that, say, all women are mentally deficient, and you communicate those views, most people will simpy think you're stupid. It doesn't really matter what words you use, it's the absurdity of the underlying beliefs that gets people's backs up.
Programming is like driving a car: some people are incapable of driving without killing bystanders or themselves, the majority can get by quite happily going shopping, and a few are F1 racing drivers.
Most programs, and especially most iPhone apps, are my mum going to Tesco's, not Lewis Hamilton pipping Nico Rosberg by two hundredths of a second in the final title-deciding race of the season.
You lost me by not even knowing how to type 'postGres'. Let me learn you something genius Oracle boy. PostgreSQL. Some people just say 'postgres'. There is no such thing as 'postGres'.
Er, he did know how to type "postGres", as evidenced by his post which contains the word "postGres".
And if your standards are so high that you can't cope with someone typing "G" instead of "g" you must find using the internet a fucking nightmare.
Screw the shareholders. What about the rest of Oracle's workers? You know, the people who make Larry Ellison look good by busting their asses? Why not give them a raise?

So on that basis, there are no secrets whatsoever in the world?

Yeah, it's well known that the Nazis were horrified at the idea of using gas...those concentration camps just had really unlucky plumbing.
So in other words you probably do a mixture of air and ground bursts, thereby achieving maximum damage to both humanity and the planet.
90% of our species might be wiped out, but I doubt we'd go extinct...
Oh, well that's all right then.
I bet The Road is your idea of a wet dream.
Striking first only works if you also destroy the opposition's ability to respond.
I don't think there's an awful lot of "humaneness" in most people who are prepared to be torturers.
Your comment doesn't even
Flirtation isn't sexual harassment.

With the Internet, you can tailor yourself to be exactly what the voter wants you to be. No more bad hairdays. No more potential assassins.
Yes, it's an often-overlooked fact that there's been no political violence since the internet was invented.

A slime gun?
When Australia banned guns, there were a lot of dickheads saying we would be much safer: But crime increased, a lot
Yeah, because the only thing that stops crime is having a heavily armed populace able to defend themselves 24/7 with concealed machine guns.
Included are Katy Perry and Justin Bieber. I don't know about you, but I'm praying for a tragic technical malfunction on the maiden launch.
Anyone who chose to waste $250,000 in this way doesn't have any principles.
once I put aside my incredible envy of anyone who can leave this small rock
They're having a quick trip a few miles up in the air, not colonising the fucking galaxy.

I agree that political correctness has ruined public discourse
What a load of bollocks.
Its use is compulsory in EU countries, but you make it sound as though it is something invented by the left out of contrariness or stupidity.
Yes, we know that. GP was exaggerating for comic effect.

Java is the worst thing that has happened in all human history
It's OK, you don't have to sit on the fence. Just tell us how you feel.

Anybody know what's the background on this?
Mr Ellison is the head of a software company called Oracle.
If your computer is a car, then software is the fuel that runs it.
Hope this helps.
Screw the shareholders. What about the rest of Oracle's workers? You know, the people who make Larry Ellison look good by busting their asses? Why not give them a raise?
You must be new here.
