If you read any one of the four Gospels, those are the types of people which Jesus condemned most frequently (the Pharisees).
As an official Pharisee (ie: a modern-day Jew), could I ask that you please not compare us to middle-class suburbans who go to church once a week and constantly try not to sin? Those guys are insanely boring. Pharisees have much more fun than that! Ever been to a hardcore Purim party?
Don't mind dada21. He's just another crazy libertarian who wants as much "freedom" and "liberty" (mostly meaning "money" and "lack of government" respectively) as possible because he distrusts the entire society in which he lives.
Because a rich man can buy everything he needs *and* everything he wants with 80% of his salary. A poor man with 20% taken out his to choose if he'll eat 2 meals this month or not pay for heating.
Actually, I think that upon seeing the TARDIS he would more likely respond something along the lines of... "ALERT! ALERT!" At which point George Washington would pipe in with a high-pitched, "IT IS THE DOCTOR!"
This would lead to the entire Continental Congress shouting "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" just like they did when they saw the Native Americans.
Why not improve green technology and then sell it to Indian and Chinese customers for cheap? Make loads of money, standard of living goes up, environment doesn't die. Everybody wins.
Except that, as I posted above, Israel can always threaten to nuke not only Iran itself, but Mecca and Medina. Somehow I think that nuking the Muslim holy cities is the Mutually Assured Destruction of the fundamentalist era.
Now, now. The Iranian regime only encourages Arab children in other countries to become martyrs for Allah. You don't see them sending too many of their own people to Hamas or Hizballah, do you?
Anyway, we can always threaten to glass Mecca. That'll shut up any Muslim regime.
Well once you get past the people who can't handle C++ because they have Java Minds, you arrive at two main things that make C++ a bugger: templates and operator overloading. They make it a real, true FUCKING BUGGER to look at a piece of code and understand what it actually does.
I recommend you look into technologies such as Sun NeWS and Plan 9. They were solving the problem of centralizing applications for maintenance/administration in application platforms long before there was a "web", let alone "web applications".
1) We have networked window systems for people who don't own their own computers. I mean it. The technology to do that right was available 20 years ago, but everyone preferred the "openness" and cheapness of X11.
2) Writing a portable native app is no harder than writing a portable web app, but it produces better results.
But why should there be a server? We all have machines today that would be considered miracles only 10 years ago, but nothing besides gaming actually uses up a substantial fraction of that computing power.
Just for that I've officially "Friended" you. The entire field of programming has become too overrun with "web developers" who have scarcely written a real application in their life, and therefore don't even know why a real desktop OS makes a better platform than a web browser.

That's because major cities have poor people in them who can't afford FiOS, whereas suburbs are comparatively rich.
Yes. As I recall, it's a Senatorial procedure used by the Democrats from 2000-2006 to stop the worst excesses of the Republican Congress.

I prefer melange.

I have an active imagination.
Locked down? Signed binaries? Well, OK, but my question is WHY THE FUCK WERE VOTING MACHINES HOOKED UP TO A NETWORK!?

And, in my experience, make horrible TAs.

I think we're supposed to laugh maniacally now.
You think AJAX is a nightmare, try coding for Sugar.
So how do you uninstall that without having the source tarball and a perfect memory of how you configured the package around?
Oh please. Pascal does everything C++ can now.
C++ is a write-only language. That's why it receives so much hate.

Please mod parent +5 insightful. I don't have mod points because I don't like to spend 3 days meta-moderating to get mod points for 5 minutes.
Ever heard of this little thing called "native applications running on your computer"? It works much better than a browser.
But why should there be a server? We all have machines today that would be considered miracles only 10 years ago, but nothing besides gaming actually uses up a substantial fraction of that computing power.
