Most of that stuff isn't mandated like it is in other countries. Vacation time, for example. In Germany, you get something like 4 weeks off, by law. Here in the US, there is absolutely no requirement whatsoever that a company give you vacation time. Most do it because it is kinda expected. But if they wanted to make you work every day, every week, every month, technically they could.
And yet, it takes how many years for a suit like that to carry out? And in the mean time, you still have to maintain your expenses, like your mortgage, or car payment. You'd probably also have to pay your lawyer too.
Well, to give the obvious example, if the employee is talking about unsafe working conditions, that could be considered "Badmouthing the company publicly." Yet, it has been law that employers cannot fire you for demanding safe working conditions (to the extent possible, some jobs will always have an inherent danger in them). Would it be right that the company could fire someone for saying that the company is unsafe? If so, then where is the pressure on the company to improve working conditions?
The Republicans had input into just about every major bill passed. Many of their ideas are in there, like the health insurance mandate. But they all just vote NO anyway, because they just want to make the President look bad so they can gain power.
That only works if you don't have any friends/acquaintances that use Facebook. As the OP said, his wife doesn't even have a Facebook account, and yet people are tagging photos identifying her in them.
Not every application needs those "orders of magnitude in performance". In fact, most of them don't, and would benefit more from the increased developer productivity in getting the application created faster.
Isn't the purpose of Ada these days mostly to write extremely deterministic, somewhat provable code for military applications and things of that nature?
But if you remember, all those he called to follow him, he told to sell all their possessions and donate the proceeds to the poor. Some wealthy kid came up to him, and asked him what it would take to get into heaven. He had been a good and pious man, keeping the law in his heart always. But then when Jesus told him the last step was to sell all his possessions and give away his money, he became crestfallen.
Then what about that shit he said about the Greatest Commandment? "Love the lord God with all your heart, your mind, and your soul. The second is to love thy neighbor as you love yourself." (Matt 22:37-40).
As for the parts you'll bring up that show him getting angry, like at the money changers in the temple, well, he also was human. Humans have emotions; humans aren't perfect. I'm sure if you dig enough, you'll find instances of Ghandi being a dick too. Doesn't negate Ghandi's message of peace.
Long term investing in a company is just that: Investing in a company, giving them capital to help them accomplish a goal. Short term speculation, however, is simply playing the numbers, and hoping to outguess someone to make money. No different than poker, really. Long term investing is also much more stable, and much less disruptive to the market than short term, especially high frequency trading.
Especially at those instants when someone presses the 'B' key instead of the 'M' key.
HFT does nothing more than make overpaid finance guys richer without actually having to do or produce anything. Except it has the added side effect of making the market much more volatile for everyone else.
When one small fuckup can reveal my information to those that would use it maliciously, then those entrusted with that data had better fucking make sure there are no small fuckups.
Fuck no. But if you're going to do it, you damn well better be able to do it right. Whether or not the code is open source is irrelevant; compliance falls on the people actually running the servers.
Hmm, you've got spunk, kid. I'll give you that. Tell you what, lets see how well you cut off your left nut. If you do well, then I might hire you in my nut cutting department.
Yes, yes you do. Not all industries start out with good practices. Better to tell them they can't do the bad stuff from the beginning, rather than them becoming dependent on doing the shitty stuff, and being unable to stop them without causing the industry to go tits up. While the industry is young, it can still evolve. Not so much after a while.

When it's private, it's not tyranny.
This is why nobody takes Libertarianism seriously. Its that belief that no company could ever do bad things or deny people rights.
Yet even AIX has proper package management these days.
Fink? MacPorts?

Google Voice would be a much, much better solution.
Because C/C++ are the only "serious" languages around.

No problem. Just put this at the top of your code:

De facto does not equal official.
Should the Blind not be able to vote, then? I would assume a blind person would not have a ballot written in English, but in Braille.

If they can't prove that they are in compliance, and not releasing user data improperly, then maybe they should have chosen a different business.
Huge problem with that analogy: It doesn't address the fact that the guy paying the most is also drinking more beer than the bottom 4 combined.

On the other hand, it puts an enormous burden on businesses
Since when did not revealing my personal data become a "burden"?
