Howdy -- I'm interested in writing apps with Erlang/OTP as well. Any tips? It appears there is a close-knit community and lots of experience in clumps here and there, by not much published material.

...it was also rude, crude and content-free. Here's a tip: dissent works best when it doesn't sound like it comes from a pissed-off sophomore.
As for Chavez, he has done his share of dissent-crushing and deportations and indoctrination. Just because he is "against" the "neo-libs" doesn't excuse some of his actions. Venezuela sells a good chunk of its oil to the States -- they may be at loggerheads but they still do a lot of business together.
Marriage is far more than just useful, it's older than civilization... and if you've ever been married "for real", you know it's not something that comes from the outside. I couldn't care less what the government thinks of my wife.
As for this tide of history stuff -- a key word in your post is "preserve". Truly vigorous societies aren't worried about preservation. They are too busy creating anew.
Another interesting phrase is "positives for the state". I was not aware that people lived to please the State; in free societies it's the other way round.
The Romans were fully aware of their decline as it happened; and there were many who ran around talking about how they would go the way of the Greeks unless, etc. Very shortly after that, Rome lurched into tyranny in an attempt to keep the State alive at all costs.
They have to be. That doesn't make them evil, sneaky, etc. Read up on the history of post-Goldwater Republicanism and expecially that inspired lunatic Ralph Reed. If you have a problem with the "agenda", fine, but there are a *lot* of tactics in common between the so-called Moral Majority and the icky Rainbow People.
By your statements, I'm guessing you think being gay is somehow subhuman, disgusting, or at the very least, not something you want going on in your town. All I can say is that we know very little about human nature, but one thing is clear: you can't legislate it away. All you can do is drive it underground, and strip dignity from your fellow human beings.
They are up in ft Lauderdale; one of my friends works there. The company is growing like crazy, and the CEO seems to have the aptitude to hire the right people and do what's needed to get them to work together.
I would not work for them any more than i would work for a traveling carnival, but keep in mind that shady != incompetent.
That's right. The Universal Price Code does not contain price information. How silly of me. It is a "product number" whose price is looked up by the register, that in many cases does *not* match the human-readable price. Did you have a point, or do you just like being pedantic?
A year or so ago the story broke that WalMart was systematically overcharging people -- the sticker prices do not match the UPC code price, with a 3-1 favor to them. We're talking millions and millions of dollars over years. A few months ago a crime ring was broken up that exploited WalMart's return policy and other things to the tune of $1.5M.
Now. Not only did WalMart come down on those folk like a million-pound shithammer and trumpeted it to the press (who covered it more than the previous story), they are still systematically overcharging their customers.
The public has plenty of tolerance for hypocritical behavior. Sometimes I think that tolerance is the only thing keeping us from rioting in the streets.
he was furthering the interests of the current Administration. You think Bob Woodward is psychic? Politicians use journalists as much as the other way round.
...you grant to Yahoo! all rights to use and incorporate such contents in the Yahoo! APIs or any other Yahoo! product or service without compensation to you and without further recourse by you.
The anti-trust angle is iffy, as they are separate corporations.
You could ping them for price-fixing and collusion. That happened already in the late 1990s; they were fined some hundreds of millions of dollars. Unfortunately they played the "for the kids" card, under which they dumped an equivalent (inflated) amount of "free music" (i.e., remaindered copies of the Glitter Sountrack) on a bunch of schoolkids.
Microsoft did the same in its anti-trust settlements. Their "punishment" was to donate "a billion dollars worth" (retail, of course) of MS software to schools.
My advice: Unplug your radio. Throw away your TV. You don't NEED these assholes.

Let's put conductive liquid near the motherboard and magnets right next to the hard drive! Extended warranties ahoy!
And it worked pretty darned well, except for the hourly rebootings and lockups....

ECC DNA? That's pretty damned cool. hard to believe we hadn't suspected that before.
And maybe the screaming hordes of DSL-bots will finally get shut down.

reinstall Windows! It's the answer to everything.
Jesus. That's the fucking problem, not *what station* they are allowed to watch.

Bloody Imperial, not your wimpy pints.
What a load of bollocks.
Um.... Yeah duh? Next question please.

"Everything You Know Is Wrong" was originally an album by Firesign Theater, 1974.
the lengths the author goes to associate the former Britannica editor with Ballmer, McBride, et al, seriously weakens his credibility.

It seems to me that much time is wasted looking for a cause of these temperature changes. What's important are two questions:
Ignoring the problem, no matter what the alleged cause, is not only stupid, it is contra-survival.
