Really? Can you point to his outward support of either group to back up that well poisoning?
I'm sure he's said some things you disagree with. But tell me - Why would you vote for somebody who is so clean and perfect that there is no way they're telling you the truth? Why not go with the person who is more real, who makes the occasional off-remark that doesn't sit well, who speaks like a real human being? Don't you realize the rest are just marketed products that won't deliver on the brand name promise??? I'm so sick of one moron telling me "I'll take care of your children" and another idiot telling me they'll build a fence to keep the "bad guys" out.
You seem dense, so I'll explain. First, there is no one kind of "surrender/give up" for each side. That could mean many things. For instance, we could ditch and pull out, reach an agreement with Iraq to withdraw over time, work with local tribes to give them control of their areas, etc. Second, as you pointed out, there are other options - you thought of one yourself. That does not mean that there aren't any more though.
Your original statement, profound as it sounds, is very stupid. You clearly polarize and simplify the issue and use language that poisons the well for one choice.
Because each genre has several hundred songs in it? And I take it to work to listen to it and can't predict at any given point in time what I'll be in the mood for?
Fuck your home page. If you can't figure out that other people have different needs than yourself what do I care about your likes/dislikes?
For those of us who actually listen to different *kinds* of music there is certainly a need. Do I want heavy metal? Opera? Classical? Country? Perhaps some Jazz today?
For those of you listening to the tripe forced upon you by Britney Spears, no, there is no need.
And how does it sort it out when I copy/paste from some forum that doesn't support correct indenting (slashdot, others)? Or an old email where there is a ton of "> > > >" on many lines?
From what I've seen developers use Python in *spite* of the indentation, not because of it. It's a bug, not a feature. And you needlessly work around it.
But you can't simply brush off performance concerns as a non-issue simply because some folks have an impression that all scripting languages are slow. Performance is always a concern. And it sounds like Ruby has had real performance problems that need to be addressed, and it sounds like they are.
It's trollish to claim that requirements have ever been completely defined, and that development is ever actually finished (you never finish, you simply pick a time to 'stop' writing more). Though perhaps 'flamebait' would be more accurate...
I'm going to disagree with you. It *does* make Python a bad language. It's a horrible language that requires such attention to the trivial and mundane without a good reason. And "pretty code" is not a good reason. Give me badly formatted Java and I have a myriad of tools ready to reformat it properly (in ViM it's simply "gg=G", in Eclipse it's ctrl+f, etc.). Let the editors concern themselves with formatting - I just wanna code.
It's absolutely asinine to *require* proper indentation when it's so *easy* (at least with curly-bracket delimited blocks) to have a program handle indentation for you.
Personally, I couldn't get over Python's syntactically significant whitespace - many people would laugh at that, but for me it's just unthinkable
Agreed! Why in the *hell* in the 20th century should I worry so much about spacing? Let the editor handle that for me. Python developers have to create all sorts of tricks (emacs bindings mostly) to work around this flawed design just to work with the language. Frankly no modern language should have 'column' constraints.
Are you people stupid? Microsoft didn't get where they are by just assuming Word will be accepted everywhere "just because." The see some clients muttering things about using open formats. They go out and get their document format certified as an "open standard" so they can put one more bullet point on their presentations.
Sure, it's no silver bullet. But nothing is. It's yet another reason to choose Microsoft. "Oh, you want to use open standards? Our document format is ISO standard XXXX."
Microsoft doesn't just sit back and wait for money to roll in. The actively pursue it.
That's also one of the major reasons that I won't buy any of this hardware anytime soon. I need to be able to write a lot to my disk without bricking it in turn...
From your link: "With these mechanisms in place, some industry analysts[1] have calculated that flash memory can be written to at full speed continuously for 51 years before exceeding its write endurance, even if such writes frequently cause the entire memory to be overwritten."
Hands up everyone who has a hard drive that is 51 years old.

You seem to be rather blinded by only being able to think of one scenario in which to use a nuclear bomb - flattening a large city during total nuclear war.
Lets say somebody else is threatening us with a bomb, and we know the size and model. Wouldn't it be nice to know how it would effect us? Or perhaps we decide to use one against people in tunnels in Afghanistan, shouldn't we know what it would do? Perhaps the enemy is 'at the gates' and we need to use it in closer proximity to our own civilians than we would like - wouldn't you want to know what it would do?
Fact is the military went the way of shrinking the bomb (that's right - making it smaller) rather than bigger. It turns out that many small warheads is much more effective than one large one. And they know that because of testing...

You think all those 'advanced countries' would have learned by now that government is the *problem* not the *solution*.

In my day you could get candy for a penny. "Give me three pennies" we used to say. Then we'd go down to the river for swimming...
Sorry, what were we discussing?
It's the government. Since when has 'not working' ever mattered to whether they continued doing what they are doing?

Which of those means 'insightful' now?
