You have something against adjectival nouns? Try to go an entire day without using any, and let us know how that works out for you.
However, for reasons of style and clarity, I'd prefer to see "women as programmers", myself, since there exist females of many other species than H. sapiens sapiens.
The various terror groups know Obama is full of hot air and does not follow up on attacks.
I'm sure that Osama bin Laden agrees, as do the targets of all those drone strikes.
The Syrian army crossed the red line again and nothing from Barry.
The 15-minute response you seem to be asking for with regard to Syria would be about the only action that might be considered even less civilised than gassing your own civilians. Is that really what you'd like to see?
This is not some film where you hear someone shout, "Do something!" then see 30 seconds of Barry sweating as he slowly but surely remembers and inputs the Abort code that stops the timer and keeps Dr Madguy's giant laser from lighting up and cooking Los Angeles.
I've got a brilliant idea: Let's impeach Obama and replace him with you.
This is a complex scenario with a great many players--Israel, Lebanon/Hezbollah, Turkey/NATO/EU, Iraq/Kurdistan, and Russia, amongst others--having an interest in the outcome of a civil war between the militarist fascists who've held power for decades and the militant religious whackos that seek to take their place. You've also got the UN and the norms of international law to consider. At home you've got legislators to keep happy, and there is a good chance that, no matter what your response is, at least some of them will take issue with it--and of these, some of them will be doing so merely to score points against you in the media, regardless of what might really be best for the US (or for the Syrians, for that matter).
What do you propose to do, Mr President? Go ahead--the whole world is watching and waiting.
I had to Google to find out who Kristen Stewart is.
2 of the first 8 hits were contradictory stories about what how she looked when she was recently spotted at the LA airport "meant" regarding her relationship status (with some other actor I'd never heard of). Did I mention that both of these stories were on HuffingtonPost.com?
And now I almost feel sorry for someone whose existence I wasn't even aware of until 3-4 minutes ago.
OTOH, it also means that I neither watch television, nor have to worry much about gossip columnists speculating that the long face I made yesterday afternoon whilst sitting alone in a café I've probably never been to before means that I'm considering breaking off my engagement or whatever*.
If this means I have a life--due in part to enjoying relative anonymity--then HuffingtonPost can go suck it.
*(I'm taking an extra week off [on doctor's advice] following my vacation after falling seriously ill during same. I got bored and wandered up to a part of the city I rarely go to any longer, but retain a passing familiarity with, since it's near the place where I went to for a Swedish class 2-3 years ago. The long face was because I wasn't sure whether or not I liked the dressing on my Caesar salad. I finally decided it was okay. And I'm feeling mostly okay. And the engagement is still on. Happy now, Arianna?)

Isn't this fun?
I've been posting here under this name for the last 10,000 years and I see no reason to stop now.
She's not a spokesperson for anything. She likes the popularity that comes from being head cheerleader.
I am very left of centre in my views, and I find little to recommend her or her vapid website.
Son, you're doing it wrong--there's a whole Internet out there, where it's easy to find much nicer boobs than Arianna's.
Zing!
Anti-Semitism has little to do with Judaism or Islam and everything to do with racism.
But corporations don't have the longevity, security, or nationwide reach to be able to do the job well...
I am mostly with you, but I think someone needs to point out that:
Corporations can and often do outlive humans.
Corporations are often better at securing their own data than governments are theirs.
Corporations not only have nationwide reach, many of them have an international reach.
I do, and that would be exactly my bloody *point*, genius.

I suppose they're lucky that you condescend to use indoor plumbing rather than shit in the street, too.
I wondered who the hell was still buying copies of that particular book. Now I know. Thanks--I think.
Please explain to us how you didn't just make a No True Scotsman argument.
Could be that's just leftovers from the Great Leap Forward that they're still digging up from people's backyards.
True, but that is only because the US has not yet collapsed like the Soviet Union.
Your optimism is touching, and gives me faith in the future again.

You're soaking in it.
Start with History of Computers 101.
Nothing is new under the sun.
Yes, that's a pretty apt description of the likely downward spiral of greed.
(I guess I was just busy enjoying some cheap thrills, watching JD troll himself with the China reference at the top of the thread.)
That whooshed right past you, didn't it?
