The bad news: If you use nukes, then coders will get even more lazy and feel they don't have to use asserts and end up being so off that the drones nuke New Jersey instead of Afghanistan.
The good news: Such as catastrophe just be enough to take Jersey Shore off the air.
- In England, they chase their insulators on horseback using foxes to smell them out.
- In Spain, they put the insulator in a stadium and a procession of people with various pointy things try to piss off insulator enough so that it will attack this guy with a sword and a cape and a silly hat. It's really unfair as most of the time the guy with the cape and sword wins.
- In Russia, they make beautiful coats by hooking up the insulator to an electrode and electrocuting it.
- In Bulgaria, the men gather around in a circle to place bets on insulator-vs-insulator fights to the death.
By European standards, we Americans are quite civilized. We allow hunting of insulators to cull any overpopulation, and licensed hunters who kill their maximum can bring back the insulators for the whole family to enjoy.
Aside from all those companies who have been bailed out and keep asking for more money and all the telecom companies who were given huge tax breaks in the 90's for fiber-to-the-curb that never happened and don't want to repay the government, yes, you usually don't see capitalists whining about people not giving them free shit.
It's not any dumber than two college dropouts in Cupertino building a personal computer in their garage or some lone crazy finish student making his own OS.
Budgets considerably larger than $200,000 have been spent on software projects written by professional programmers that don't run at all.
Open doesn't necessarily mean incompetent and closed doesn't necessarily mean competant. But "open" can sometimes be a last refuge for the incompetent. As if no one who has ever banged into a serious, irrefutable FLOSS usability problem has been told "quit whining, learn how to code and fix it yourself. It's open!"
You remember all those PDA's that the Taiwanese/Japanese couldn't sell because they sucked so much and their last ditch strategy was to bill them as open source PDA's and create FLOSS projects around them (e.g. Zaurus)? Open sourcing of Symbian after it got its ass handed to it by iOS? That's the kind of stuff I'm talking about.
The government sponsored technology research that NASA does to put things above the sky helps private industry thrive below the sky. Private space companies who want to make a quick buck probably won't do interesting research with great private industry payoffs in the long term.
Quizzer: what are the three branches of government?
Linus: Why have three branches? I'd do a git merge legislative executive judiciary into a single monolithic government over which I'm benevolent dictator. Screw those crazy microgovernment people!
Both involve an element of ridiculous, almost comical hypocrisy.
In one case where the some people who view burning a book as an outrage view anti-semitism and restricting churches from being built is socially acceptable, and in the other case where Cocoa developers are forced for 10 years to learn.NET, Java, PHP to make a living in the enterprise and then enterprise.NET/Java/PHP developers scream bloody murder when they're forced to learn Objective-C to write iPhone apps.
could not write down notes fast enough because their fine motor coordination was shot to hell and the idiot teacher didn't understand that their 8 x 11 piece of paper wasn't as wide as a 16ft whiteboard
couldn't follow said teacher half the time because the kids whispering behind them drowned out the teacher's loud voice
who were denied the copious examples they needed to understand how stuff worked due to the easy-odd-problems-with-answers-hard-even-problems-no-answers BS that math textbook authors kept pulling
who could have just understood matrix math if they could have seen an interactive demonstration where the matrixes rotated and the numbers one-by-one multiplied themselves by each other
the digital replacement of math textbooks with interactive instruction that can be replayed over and over again in a quiet area and can on-the-fly create copious needed examples is long overdue.

The Blackbean Wind is the you're looking for. And there's no chance of AT&T disabling the good shit. I wouldn't put it past Verizon, though.

Because no rich companies will lose face or contracts like they do when we fight *for* better software less subject to attacks.
I pity the foo who bar baz
And then you win.

I find the idea of spawned-again Christians with death rays a bit disturbing.
Corporate America has a dish-it-out-but-can't-take-it mentality.

Mood is a thing for cattle and love play. It's not for cell phones.
I think requiring Ceiling Cat to be at least 18 years of age is a little unrealistic.
He's better at sneaking plans for Stars out of Xerox than planes with stars out of Japan.

Actually my first thought was sensory enhanced black latex cat suit that electrocutes bad guys.

"The [Egyptian] government also requires permits for repairing churches or building new ones, which are often withheld."
At first glance, the headline could be interpreted as "YouTube begins live streaming of court cases". That would be pretty earth-shattering, huh?

Yo mama is so nasty she pop Methanethiol Tic Tacs.
That's she's detectable on exoplanets.
