Ha! History will not be denied. In the new timeline, "house" music is a direct descendant of Ken Kesey's "Electric Kool Aid Acid Tests (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Electric_Kool-Aid_Acid_Test)" and the prolonged and inexplicable popularity of a band called "The Grateful Dead."
You mean Microsoft *didn't* write Vista using interpretive dance? I figured it was that or the "James Joyce" emulator program written in GWBasic in 1983.
You had nothing! Ha, we shoulda been so lucky! We had *less* than nothing. We were so deep in debt that light couldn't even escape. Hell, we had to start sucking in light and reselling it to the arabs for souvenirs just to so we wouldn't go into further debt so fast.
Hydrogen nuclei and electrons? Ha, you spoiled youngsters! Back in *my* day, all we had were muons, quarks and neutrinos floating around in what was just barely a space-time continuum! And was it cramped! We had to walk bent over so as not to stick our heads out of the universe and muss our hair.
It's a tolerable front end language for browsers. It's not as flexible or as fast as C++, but here's a newsflash to the "I'm living in Mom's basement crowd." It doesn't have to be.
It can suck up resources and not be especially fast and not be able to manipulate pointers or be much good for creating new classes and....
(sing it with me now) IT DOESN'T MATTER AND 99.99% OF WEB DEVELOPERS DON'T CARE.
Not all languages are C++, or Ruby, or Java or anything. Nor should they be. Use the right tool for the right job.
Read history. Unions occurred when the oligarchs had all the power and the workers (often as young as 8) were little better than slaves working 7/16 with no benefits. Fast forward to the 90s. IT talent is scarce so they can't get away with this. Fast forward to about 20 seconds past the dot com crash. Threatened with wage arbitrage (i.e. outsourcing), IT personnel get hooked to pagers 24/7. Collar and leash optional.
Unions work in other countries like Sweden and Japan. Unfounded claims to the contrary, we're nobody special and they can work here too.
Is there abuse in unions? You bet. Is there abuse without unions? You bet.
Bottom line? If you don't push back, you get pushed to the wall, and asked to bend over.
So, you provide a button for Osama Bin Laden (or the favorite Muslim religious fanatic of your choice) to push that would wipe out all the infidels in the USA, Europe, Israel and Russia and China.
I always wondered where they got all their stuff on BSG. They never seemed very short of cigarettes, ammo, food, booze, oxy, clothes, medicines. Crap, after 5 years on a sea-faring battleship, you'd be short of almost all of those things without resupply.
Or at least sloppy thinking. I have no idea why this is, but as anyone who has looked at internet blogs can attest, the people who can't be bothered with proper spelling, grammar, punctuation or capitalization, or who can't differentiate between "loose" and "lose" are also (usually) the biggest idiots.

Interfering with our research. I say we go and kick thei

Blue. It's so pre-economic crash.

That said, would you like to go without insurance?
It's a story you can really sink your teeth into, but clearly the guys bark was worse than his bite.

Of course, this doesn't mean diddly outside of the USA which makes it pure posturing for the rubes back home in BF, Iowa.
Cheers!
Nah, don't worry. In a few years it'll all be glommed together again as space-time-matter-energy with one spiffy equation to rule them all.
Haskell! Haskell! Every geek's favorite mental masturbation toy!
Well yes, I've been doing this for years now.

Think it wouldn't get pushed? Really?
Good is such an.... "interesting" term.
I can get direct neural input from the Playboy channel.
I hate scooping my girlfriend's litter box.
The computer is down 20 hours a day, doesn't respond to you, is completely untrainable and never works, plus it's occasionally very high maintenance.
Actually, this also sounds like several of my ex-girlfriends. Are you sure that was a cat's brain they simulated?

We can actually run out of stuff? Well, golly, who would have *guessed?*
This is almost as much of a "surprise" as the current economic collapse.
Question. Are journalists and politicians pre-lobotomized, or does it happen later? Just askin'.....
Are you *sure* that's not Estonian?

Tinfoil hat fitting you all right?
Now *that's* marketing!
