Google may not "donoevil", but its known to care for its actual users/customers interests (at least after its own). Regardless of your opinion of Google, you can't say anything bad from them in this department.
Everyone, it's not a matter of inciting violence. It's a matter of pointing out that islamism is violent. We westerners are stupid and coward. We have our freedom of speech, and our values against violence and everything else, but say one word against everyone's favourite religion of peace and you are censored, and then some goody-good grand tolerants of modern society will claim YOU to be the violent one. Our political correctness and forced tolerance gave rise to a generation of fussy retards who shy away from problems other than our own, blame us for everything and are as intolerant as nazis would get, their motto being "tolerate or die".
Okay. Then don't remove it. It's this simple. Take it or leave it. Of course, you don't expect to benefit from something without letting this something benefit from you, and you don't expect Google in particular to lick your ass, right? Google, for one, is a corporation that knows who its customers are and who they have to serve. They don't lick other corporations' assholes much like, say, Microsoft and Apple do by backstabbing their customers - the people that give them money - with defective by design products that work at media corporations' service.
If you're requiring maturity, better set age to 199. Many people never ever mature. The average age? Perhaps 26. Which is about twice the age people start having sex at nowadays. So, does it make sense to set the legal age for pr0n based on maturity? Not really.
Another possible criterion would be, "looking adult". But then again, what's the reason behind wanting them to "look adult"? To be mature, which I already discussed and just doesn't work.
So what else do we have? How about the natural criterion? I'd suggest having a committee of doctors officially pronounce on the sexual maturity age of humans and set that as a minimum age. And since this is going to vary from person to person as well, I'd take the percentile 95 to be extra sure. At least this would be a rational criterion.
Post JB, get people v& for taking the bait. An interesting scheme. Now the FBI is almost as bad as that which it fights. I would almost care, if I didn't think pedos deserve it.
That's right, I'm antisocial. And I'd have to say, proud of it. Just look at the mob. Look at Joe Average Nextdoor, working his ass off at a crappy job with nothing to do once he's back home, crawling through his life, all his aspirations being for the next friday to come so that he can get drunk and "have fun", though he can't really explain how. Look at his wife, worried that she needs to get her 24th pair of shoes because her co-workers already saw her 23rd two times, and damn, she saw her friend with a new guy, this makes her green with envy.
I'd rather keep my individuality. A single person is smart, but a sufficiently large group is retarded, and I'm not completely sure why, but that's what I've observed. In other words, none of us is as stupid as all of us.
But you're completely wrong regarding the fun. I wish we had statistics on how much we laughed or how much fun we had every day - I bet I'd beat the majority of people. I'm always laughing - alone or with a closed group of friends who are similar to me. And I love my job, which is good because that's what I'll do for half of the time I'm awake during the next 40 years or so. Sometimes I almost feel like I'm getting paid for having fun. But to each his own.
I don't drink, and I'm older than you. This pleasurable effect, as far as I can see in others, means to become stupider, slower, clumsier, to spurt random crap, laugh like an idiot at things that don't make sense, and, in greater doses, either become violent, or cry, or throw up, or piss on yourself, or all of them. It has been proven; even the smallest bit of alcohol, say, a beer, reduces your capacity to drive. And then there's the headache afterwards. Not my kind of pleasure, I can tell. I enjoy being as smart as I can.
What do people do it? You said it, socially. Socially means "just cuz" (since the next person does it, I must do it), or the need to be "in". It's fun because we all laugh. Only not - we all laugh because we have been poisoned and our judgement and personality are impaired. I prefer to laugh at things that actually make sense. The usual jokes people tell won't make me laugh much - I have my particular, sarcastic sense of humour, and a group of close friends who share it. And I do have lots of fun, only I don't enjoy the same kinds of things most people do.
True. I don't think drinking beer will directly make you an unsuccessful scientist or vice-versa, nor that all unsuccessful scientists drink beer, but I'm not at all surprised that those who drink more are less successful.
It's a matter of maturity and social-monkey-ism. The less social-centric you are, the smarter you are or get. One would think those who drink a lot of alcohol, especially those who drink "socially" (the stupidest reason to every do anything) are less smart than those who dedicate themselves to important matters and don't drink crap "just cuz" so that they can share a laugh or become part of a group (of friends, or whatever). So I bet intelligence and maturity are the cause of both correlated phenomena. And of course, not having your brain poisoned with alcohol on a regular basis (even better if never) helps.
Maybe not having Linux games has something to do with it. Okay, there are a few games, including a few good ones, both free and non-free. And then you have console and arcade emulators, which can really help.
"all languages I know (c++,java,c#,perl,php and even Javascript)"
Then you're missing a beautiful experience. All the languages you know, except partly JavaScript and partly-though-uglily-hacked Perl, can't even dream of Python's features. You seriously need to try Python; forget about the braces and concentrate on the language and what you can actually do with it. Heck, if you love braces so much, at least get Ruby, or learn a Lisp which uses parens instead of braces, you'll *love* it. Any of these three languages will make you a much better programmer.
That's about the silliest reason to hate Python. You could complain that GvR doesn't loves and hates functional programming, that it has statements, that lambda is crippled, that str and the parts of the standard library which rely on str need to die, or any other actual reason to care, but indenting? If anything, it's preventing idiots from not indenting their code properly, which is a big pain. If it keeps non-indenting people away, then it's great. Also, it saves lines (fitting more meaningful code on screen) and effort typing braces. But if you're so obsessed with braces, try this:
for i in xrange(100): #{
print 'I really like braces' #}
As long as you indent properly, it's going to work just like you want. If, however, you indent unproperly, GTFO my Python.
Tcl is actually some sort of weird LISP that's string-oriented instead of list-oriented ("cudder-based" for any/prog fags reading this). It's quite admirable in its intent and how it succeeds at it; it has awesome features such as homoiconicty, no statements (a design wart inherited from FORTRAN) and nestable quotes among others, but it fails at scoping, variables and being easy to implement reasonably fast.
Don't confuse XML (and every other buzzword)-obsessed weblog fags with all Python programmers. Some of them get the job done. Also, EJB3? Are you nuts? I wouldn't touch EJBs, or any of J2EE for that matter, with a 10 metres pole, just exactly because I'm not silly enough to jump on any marketing and buzzword bandwagon. The rule of thumb is: if it says "Enterprise", "Synergy", "Business", "XML" or similar, it's not going to be a good idea.
Not only this one, but all Blu-ray and HD-DVD players are defective. They are Defective By Design. If you buy products spiked with digital AIDS such as Blu-ray players, you're asking for getting screwed. Why would they compensate the guy for this, if they aren't compensating anyone for robbing them of their legal, constitutional, human and moral rights, screw them with forced advertisements and similar "features", price-discriminate against them with the nazi regional system, and often allow the mafia corporations to watch them (and not just in Soviet Russia)?
Aw, why? Roland is an excellent troll. He's subtle but effective. Each of his articles gets lots of comments, half of them talking more about Roland than TFA, and every time somebody has to ask why the tagging and somebody has to explain the story one more time.
I, for one, like seeing Roland's articles and reading their comments. ohnoitsroland!
