Now to just get the expansion set where you can play as your favorite Lego Star Wars characters - I can see the Wookie on Bass, Princess Leia on Drums, and Darth Vader on Lead Guitar!
Nah, most libertarians are just stuck up douchebags riding on their inherited wealth, who've never had to work an honest day's work in their lives.
They're the guys who take smoke breaks when you're digging firepits cause they feel like it - until you kick them into the pit and tell them to get back to work.
The sooner they get out of our faces, the sooner we can forget how much they hate America.
Until then, I doubt they'll do well anywhere, except for states that still have low education levels and gullible fools willing to vote against their own economic interests.
you appear not to have noticed that many US citizens have served in other nations' militaries - until about 1998 you couldn't do so as an officer, but even that rule was waived (see the Balkan nations example).
You just don't want to admit that there have been people coding under more extreme circumstances than you personally have.
The US has not technically been involved in any wars since World War II, civilian. They've all been peace actions and such like. Contrary to popular belief, NATO is not solely comprised of military personnel from the United States, nor are operational actions restricted solely to Iraq (which while called a War, is not technically so), and military units have been involved in portions of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Thank you for playing. Please go enlist if you too wish to write code in hostile working environments and get underpaid for it.
3. You assumed that people don't have to write code in safe locations - in many other armies MOCs or MOS are not as separate as here - an 041 Field Engineer frequently writes code for laptops and has cross-training in other specialties.
4. You assumed that I never wrote code in the rain and the mud, or the snow and the cold. I just don't recall being shot at during those conditions, hence it wasn't worth mentioning. Although writing code in the rain and the mud while bugs crawl over your keypad is slightly bizarre (note that milspec computers for field ops are fairly rugged).

Price per MB is 1/40th what it is here.
Max bandwidth is also 1/40th what it is here.
I smell price fixing and corporate collusion ...

Most people don't talk to their cats.
So, yes, you do need to get a life.
I pulled in maybe 300 gold just from selling glyphs I had on me before the patch once the patch rolled in.
Just think of it as the Diablo version of WoW.
Most spam is sent from hijacked computers, so they're stealing OUR power to send spam to US.
Stateside people sometimes don't get that you don't have a choice to wait for things to get fixed when you need it right then.
This is why supply officers who know how to scrounge are worth their weight in gold, for example.
This is an incorrect statement.
Coding occurs on systems with RESTRICTED and CONFIDENTIAL clearance, as well as SECRET and above.
Which you would know if you'd been doing it.
The first GRID computers were used by NCOs and above in combat field engineer and artillery units.
On some old TEMPEST machines, you had to run dBase II in CP/M, at the time that dBase IV and Windows was commonplace. Milspecs don't always keep up.
Amusingly some of our nuclear weapons systems still depend on very old vacuum tube technology, due to treaty restrictions.
Most coding originally was done in ADA.
Of course.
Hasn't everyone?
That's nice.
I'm sure the sky is sunny in Seattle in your world. I'll just ignore the grey overcast day and occassional sleet mixed with rain.
and never volunteer to "fix" anything.

Again, you make an incorrect assumption.
Marines are naval shipborne troops in most nations' force structures.
Contrary to popular American belief, the world is not a series of tubes that are easily reachable by naval forces.
Think of it as twitter.
Oh, and during all of this coding, by the way, you couldn't browse external sites.
I also didn't say WHEN.
You made four incorrect assumptions:
1. You assumed I served in the US Army.
2. You assumed I served RECENTLY (e.g. 2004 on)
3. You assumed that people don't have to write code in safe locations - in many other armies MOCs or MOS are not as separate as here - an 041 Field Engineer frequently writes code for laptops and has cross-training in other specialties.
4. You assumed that I never wrote code in the rain and the mud, or the snow and the cold. I just don't recall being shot at during those conditions, hence it wasn't worth mentioning. Although writing code in the rain and the mud while bugs crawl over your keypad is slightly bizarre (note that milspec computers for field ops are fairly rugged).
I didn't say which Army.
In other armies, coders exist amongst field engineer units, and other units.
Not everything is the USA.
Think of your worst day - hot, dusty, grimy, no showers - now add the possibility you'll be shot at.
Punctuate that with actual gunfire.
Near you.
No, I'm not kidding.
No bandwidth caps.
Drop the storage cost to what Japan charges.
And stop whining about it.
This country is so far behind it's sickening.
No, we just said that granting such powers would lead to these abuses and that you America-hating neocons would wish you had never done it.
The black helicopters will be there soon. Don't move too much so that we don't have to shoot you in the back when you attack them.
